Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) set out the conditions for using the game “RamuneBit”, its online features, and its official website (together, the “Service”), provided by Nayutari (the “Operator”). They apply to everyone who uses the Service (each a “User”).

This English version is a reference translation. The Japanese version is the official text and prevails if the two differ.

Article 3 (Accounts)

  1. You use the game’s online features by signing in with the account of the store you got the game from. Your account in the Service is created the first time you sign in. You do not need to register an email address or your name.
  2. Accounts in the Service are separate for each store. If you sign in with the same store account, you can use the same account on another device. Accounts and data cannot be carried over to or from a copy of the game obtained from a different store.

Article 4 (Purchases and Refunds)

  1. The game is purchased through each store (Steam, Epic Games Store, Google Play, the App Store, etc.), and each store’s terms apply.
  2. Refunds follow each store’s conditions and procedures. The Operator does not receive payments directly and cannot process refunds.

  2. Copyright and other rights in User Creations belong to the User who made them (or the relevant rights holder).
  3. Users grant the Operator a free, non-exclusive, worldwide license, without time limit, to use User Creations (including reproducing, publicly transmitting, displaying, and adapting them, and sublicensing to the Operator’s service providers) for the following purposes:
    • Providing, operating, and improving the Service (storing, distributing, displaying to other Users, converting image or data formats, etc.)
    • Promoting the Service (on the official website, social media, videos, store pages, ads, etc.). The creator’s name may not be shown when used for promotion.
  4. Users allow other Users to play and display their published boards within the Service.
  5. Users agree not to exercise moral rights in User Creations against the Operator or other Users.
  6. Users guarantee that their User Creations do not infringe the rights of any third party and that they have the right to grant the licenses in this Article.

    • Data already loaded on other Users’ devices before deletion
    • Promotional materials made before deletion
    • Backups described in the Privacy Policy (which disappear after a set period)

Article 6 (Criteria for Recommendations)

  1. In places where the User has not chosen a specific board (randomly selected boards, lists of new and popular boards, etc.; “Recommendations”), the Operator shows boards that it judges do not fall under any of the following:
    • Boards containing inappropriate expression (including expression prohibited by Article 7)
    • Boards that may infringe the intellectual property or other rights of a third party
    • Boards that the Operator judges to be theoretically impossible to clear

  4. Undermine fair play, such as by using unauthorized tools or modified versions of the game, or by deliberately exploiting bugs

Article 8 (Measures by the Operator)

  1. If the Operator judges that a User Creation or conduct does not comply with these Terms, it may take the following measures without prior notice:
    • Measures on boards
      • Limited exposure: The board is removed from Recommendations. It can still be played from the creator’s list or by specifying its board ID.
      • Suspension: No one can play the board. (The creator can still check the board’s content and the reason for the measure.)
      • Deletion
    • Hiding a painting (other Users see the default marble)
    • Resetting a nickname
    • Restricting account features (publishing boards, changing paintings, playing online, or reporting; for 1 day, 7 days, 30 days, or indefinitely)
    • A warning
  2. When the Operator takes a measure above, it shows what the measure is and why in the game. The Operator decides on measures after reviewing the content; it never takes a measure automatically based only on the number of reports.
  3. If you disagree with a measure, you can appeal as follows. As a result of the review, the measure may change (be lifted, kept, or made heavier).
    • Limited exposure: Appeal from the board’s detail page in the game (once per measure).
    • Other measures: Contact us at the address in Article 11.
  4. The Operator may immediately delete illegal or urgent content without a grace period.
  5. Except as provided in Article 13, the Operator is not liable for any damage to Users caused by measures under this Article.

Article 9 (Online Features and Multiplayer)

Article 10 (Gameplay Videos, Streaming, and Screenshots)

Users are free to post gameplay videos, livestream, and share screenshots of the game, including using the monetization features of video-sharing and streaming services. However, you may not stream or publish automated play (Article 7, item 5) (“automated streaming”). Please also be considerate of other Users when their creations or nicknames appear.

Article 11 (Reports, Rights Infringement Claims, and Contact)

  1. Boards and other Users can be reported from within the game.
  2. Claims of rights infringement, reports of illegal content, appeals against measures, and other inquiries are accepted at the contact below. Rights holders can contact us even if they are not Users of the game.

Article 12 (Changes, Interruption, and Termination of the Service)

  1. The Operator may change the content of the Service or interrupt it temporarily.
  2. If the Operator ends the game’s online features, it will announce this on the official website at least 90 days before they end. The Operator will make efforts so that features playable offline remain playable after the online features end.
