Early Bird Bank — Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-10-30

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the iOS app "Early Bird Bank" (ペンキチの早起き貯金, "the app"), provided by an individual developer ("the developer"). By using the app you agree to these Terms.

1. The service

The app helps you keep an early-rising habit: you record waking up each morning, and the days you succeed accumulate as "savings" that you exchange for rewards you set for yourself. Optionally, up to 4 people can share a "room" and see each other's records.

The app is free, with no in-app purchases and no ads. "Savings", "yen" and "rewards" are numbers displayed inside the app only. They have no monetary value, and the developer never provides money or goods.

2. Accounts

• Signing in with an Apple or Google account is required.
• You are responsible for your account. Using someone else's account or transferring your account is not allowed.
• You can delete your account at any time from Settings → わたし (Me) → 退会する (Delete account). Deleted data cannot be restored.

3. Prohibited conduct

Do not:

• impersonate other users, or use display names or text that are offensive to others;
• place excessive load on, or gain unauthorized access to, the app or its servers (including Firebase);
• analyze, modify, decompile or redistribute the app without permission;
• use the app for purposes that violate laws or public order.

The developer may suspend your use or delete your data without prior notice if you violate these Terms.

4. Rooms and members

• When you join a room, its members can see your display name, wake-up times, goal time, rest days and reward usage.
• You are responsible for your invite code. Anyone who knows it can request to join (joining requires approval by a member).
• When you leave a room or delete your account, the room's wake-up records and reward usage remain in the room so that other members' savings do not change.

5. Your data

Your information is handled according to the Privacy Policy (https://hayaoki-chokin.web.app/en/privacy). Data is stored in Firebase, provided by Google LLC.

6. Disclaimer

• The app is provided "as is". The developer does not guarantee accuracy, that records will never be lost, or that the app will always be available.
• Network conditions, your device's clock settings, or outages at Apple, Google or Firebase may prevent recording or delay what is shown.
• To the extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the app, except in cases of intent or gross negligence.

7. Changes and termination

The developer may change, add or remove features, or discontinue the app, without prior notice. Where possible, discontinuation will be announced in the app or on this page.

8. Intellectual property

The app's code, design, text and images, including the mascot "Penkichi", belong to the developer. Content you enter (such as display names and reward names) remains yours; you grant the developer the right to use it as needed to provide the app.

9. Changes to these Terms

Changes will be announced on this page. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. Any dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the court having jurisdiction over the developer's place of residence, as the court of first instance.
