Terms of Service
Effective date: July 20, 2026
These Terms of Service (these "Terms") set forth the conditions for use of "Playback18" (collectively, the app, shared pages, and related services; the "Service") provided by Takashi Miyamoto, operator of Playback18 ("we," "us," or "our"). By using the Service, you are deemed to have agreed to these Terms.
Article 1 (Description of the Service)
- The Service uses AI to automatically generate recap videos ("Recaps") from golf-round footage recorded by users, and provides features to store, view, and share them.
- Swing detection, player identification, carry-distance estimation, and similar outputs are AI-based estimates, and missed detections, false detections, and misidentifications may occur. We do not guarantee their accuracy or completeness.
Article 2 (Accounts)
- Use of the Service requires sign-in with a Google or Apple account.
- Your account may be used only by you and may not be transferred or lent to any third party.
Article 3 (Pricing Plans)
- The pricing plans are as follows (prices are as displayed in the applicable app store).
Plan Description Free One free Recap generation per account, once per lifetime (the video will include a watermark). Recording, sharing, and storage features are available free of charge Monthly plan ($9.99/month) Up to 4 Recap generations per billing cycle. From the 5th generation onward, an overage fee applies ($3.49 per generation). Unused generations do not carry over to the next cycle Pay per use ($4.99 per generation) Payment is charged each time you generate a Recap - "One generation" means the generation of one round's Recap; generating both the full-group version and the you-only version counts as a single generation.
- If generation fails due to causes attributable to us, such as a system failure, no generation is consumed. A re-generation initiated by the user (e.g., re-running after adding recordings) consumes a new generation.
- Payments are processed through Google Play / App Store in-app purchases. Cancellations and refunds are governed by the rules of the applicable store.
- Even if you cancel the monthly plan, viewing, sharing, and the storage period (Article 5) of already-generated Recaps are not lost.
Article 4 (Recording and Consent of Playing Partners)
- You must obtain the consent of playing partners and any other persons who will appear in the footage before recording and uploading.
- Any dispute arising from recording (rights of publicity, privacy, etc.) shall be resolved at the responsibility and expense of the user who made the recording.
- If a person appearing in the footage requests deletion, we may delete the relevant video.
Article 5 (Data Handling and Retention Periods)
- Uploaded original videos are automatically deleted within a maximum of 14 days after generation processing is complete.
- Generated Recaps are stored for three (3) years and are automatically deleted after that period.
- Share links remain valid for three (3) years from issuance. You are responsible for how you handle the links you issue (whom you send them to).
- Details are set forth in the Privacy Policy.
Article 6 (Rights in Content)
- The rights in videos recorded by users and in generated Recaps belong to the users.
- You grant us the right to process your videos to the extent necessary to provide the Service (generation, storage, delivery, and verification for quality improvement).
- You may not remove or alter the watermark (logo) applied to Recaps generated under the free plan.
Article 7 (Prohibited Conduct)
- Acts that violate laws or public order and morals
- Uploading or publishing a video in which a person appears as a primary subject without that person's consent
- Recording in violation of a golf course's rules or filming policies
- Reverse engineering, decompiling, analyzing, copying, or reselling the Service
- Using the free allowance more than once through improper means (such as creating multiple accounts)
- Placing excessive load on our servers
Article 8 (Changes, Suspension, and Termination of the Service)
- We may change the content or pricing of the Service upon prior notice.
- The Service may be temporarily suspended due to maintenance, failures, or outages of external services (cloud, AI, etc.).
- If we terminate the Service, we will provide at least three (3) months' prior notice and will endeavor to provide a means to download Recaps that are within their storage period.
Article 9 (Disclaimer)
- With respect to the content of AI-generated results (missed detections, false detections, etc.), we provide no remedy beyond not consuming the generation count (Article 3, Paragraph 3).
- If you incur damages due to causes attributable to us, our liability shall be limited to the amount you paid to us during the preceding twelve (12) months (except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence).
- We are not liable for loss of recorded data due to causes beyond our control, such as device failure or network conditions.
Article 10 (Amendments to these Terms)
We may amend these Terms. We will provide prior notice of material changes in the app or on our website, and your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the amended Terms.
Article 11 (Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Language)
- These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan, and the Tokyo District Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction as the court of first instance over any dispute arising in connection with the Service.
- These Terms are prepared in Japanese and translated into English for convenience. In the event of any discrepancy between the two versions, the Japanese version shall prevail.
