These Terms of Service ("these Terms") set out the conditions for using Select photo (the "Service"). Please read them carefully before using the Service.
These Terms apply to all users of the Service, including photographers and clients. By using the Service, you are deemed to have agreed to these Terms.
The Service consists of the following features. Depending on your plan, you may use either or both:
Additional terms governing the CRM feature are set out in Article 7-3 (CRM feature terms).
The following conduct is prohibited:
Photographers are solely responsible for obtaining, from the subjects photographed and from their clients, any consent required to upload and share photos through the Service (including consent regarding portrait rights and personal data). Where a subject is a minor, consent from a parent or legal guardian is also required. The operator is not a party to, and does not mediate, disputes between a photographer and their clients or the subjects photographed.
When registering personal data of a third party (a customer and their family) in the CRM feature, photographers must have lawfully obtained that data from the third party and must provide any explanation reasonably necessary regarding its registration with the Service. Photographers must not register information that may constitute special care-required personal data (e.g., medical history, disability, or creed) in the CRM feature's free-text fields (contact history, notes) without the consent of the data subject (or their legal guardian, if a minor).
Copyright in photos uploaded by a user remains with the user who uploaded them. The Service does not acquire copyright in any photo. Copyright in the Service's systems, design, and code belongs to the operator.
Users grant the operator a license to technically process uploaded photos to the extent necessary to provide the Service (e.g., generating thumbnails, applying watermarks, producing ZIP downloads). This license is limited to the purpose of providing the Service; the operator will not disclose, sell, or use photos for third-party advertising or promotional purposes.
Where the operator is liable for damages, the amount of such liability is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees paid by the user for the Service in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) ¥10,000, except for damage caused by the operator's willful misconduct or gross negligence.
The operator may suspend or delete the account of a user who materially breaches these Terms. In such cases, the operator will make reasonable efforts to notify the user in advance and provide an opportunity to retrieve their data. Where urgent action is required (e.g., unauthorized access, violation of law), the operator may suspend an account without prior notice. Users may request deletion of their own account at any time.
The Service offers a Free plan and paid plans. Fees for paid plans are as listed on the Service's pricing page (tax included) and are charged by credit card.
The Service is intended for users aged 18 and over. Users under 18 may not use the Service. If a user under 18 enters into a paid plan without the consent of a parent or legal guardian, that contract may be rescinded.
This Article applies to all users of the customer management (CRM) feature, whether used together with the photo selection feature or contracted for on a standalone basis.
The operator may change or discontinue the Service. If the Service is to be discontinued, the operator will provide at least 30 days' notice within the Service or by email wherever possible, and will make reasonable efforts to keep data exportable for 30 days after that notice, except where immediate discontinuation is unavoidable due to legal requirements, misconduct, or force majeure.
The operator may amend these Terms. For material changes, the operator will provide at least 30 days' notice within the Service or by email before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance of the amended Terms.
Users may not assign their rights or obligations under these Terms to a third party without the operator's prior written consent. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid under applicable law, the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. The Tokyo District Court or the Tokyo Summary Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction as the court of first instance over any dispute arising in connection with the Service.
