Terms of Use

Last updated: June 19, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the Japanese Walking app (the "App"), made by Bytamite ("we", "us", "our"). By downloading or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. License

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, in accordance with these Terms and the Apple Standard End User License Agreement (EULA), which also applies to the App.

2. The service

Japanese Walking guides interval walking sessions — alternating easy and brisk phases — with spoken cues, chimes, an optional metronome, and a lock-screen Live Activity. The App runs on your device and does not require an account.

3. Japanese Walking Pro (one-time purchase)

The App is free to use, including the full guided walk. Japanese Walking Pro is an optional, one-time in-app purchase (a non-consumable) that unlocks the cadence metronome, custom protocols, full walk history, and all share-card themes.

Price: $19.99 (or the equivalent in your local currency), shown in the App before purchase. It is not a subscription — there is no recurring charge and nothing to cancel.
Billing: Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
Restore: Because Pro is tied to your Apple ID, you can restore it at no additional cost on your devices using Restore Purchases in the App.
Refunds: Purchases are processed by Apple. Refund requests are handled by Apple under its policies; we cannot issue refunds directly.

4. Health & safety

Japanese Walking is a general fitness and wellbeing tool. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional. Walking and brisk-pace intervals carry inherent physical risk. Consult a doctor before starting a new exercise routine, stop if you feel unwell, and use the App at your own risk.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the App, including by attempting to reverse engineer, copy, resell, or interfere with it, or by using it in violation of any applicable law. The App is intended for personal, non-commercial use.

6. Your content

Your walk history and custom protocols stay on your device — see our Privacy Policy. You are responsible for keeping your own backups.

7. Intellectual property

The App, its design, and the "Bytamite", "Aruki", and "Japanese Walking" names and logos are owned by us and are protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks or branding.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that cues and lock-screen updates will always be delivered at the exact intended time (delivery depends on your device, network, and operating system).

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bytamite will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or any loss of data, arising from your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid us for the App in the 12 months before the claim.

10. Termination

You may stop using the App and delete it at any time. We may suspend or end the App or these Terms if you breach them or if we discontinue the App. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (such as intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will survive.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Sweden, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except where mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence provide otherwise. Nothing in these Terms limits your statutory consumer rights.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
