Terms of Service

Version of October 9, 2026

This English version is a translation provided for convenience. The Japanese version is the official version, and if there is any inconsistency between them, the Japanese version prevails.

These Terms of Service (these "Terms") set out the conditions for using PLAX (the "Service") provided by plax japan (Representative: Hiroaki Morikawa) ("we", "us" or "our"). Users shall use the Service after agreeing to these Terms.

Article 1 (Definitions)

  1. "User" means a person who has registered an account for the Service.
  2. "Original Post" means a post or video on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X or any other website whose URL a User has saved to the Service.
  3. "Card" means a record of a drill on the Service consisting of the URL of an Original Post, notes entered by the User, and text generated by AI Analysis.
  4. "Menu" means a plan for a single practice session that a User creates by arranging Cards.
  5. "AI Analysis" means the feature by which AI generates the text of a Card based on the publicly available information of an Original Post (limited to YouTube videos and TikTok captions), the notes entered by the User, and images or videos taken by the User themselves. The content of Instagram and X posts is not used for AI Analysis.

Article 2 (Accounts)

  1. Users shall register accurate information and shall manage their email address and password at their own responsibility. Users must not disclose, lend or share them with any third party.
  2. When registered information changes, Users shall promptly update it on the Service.

  4. An account may be used only by the person who registered it and must not be transferred to or used by any third party.
  5. Users may delete their account at any time from the settings screen. Cards, Menus and ratings of a deleted account cannot be restored.

Article 3 (How the Service Works and Handling of Original Posts)

  1. The Service stores the URL of the Original Post, information about the post made public by each service (title, poster name and URL of the thumbnail image), notes entered by the User, and text generated by AI Analysis. We do not copy or store the video files or image files of Original Posts themselves on our servers.
  2. Original Posts are played and displayed on the Service through the official embedding features provided by each service, and video and image data are sent directly from each service's servers to the User's device. We do not transmit or distribute Original Posts.
  3. If an Original Post is deleted, made private or no longer allowed to be embedded, it can no longer be played or displayed on the Service. We do not guarantee that Original Posts can be played and have no obligation to restore them.
  4. When a User uploads images or videos they have taken themselves for AI Analysis, we retain them temporarily only for the analysis and delete them after the analysis is complete. We do not store them or distribute them to other Users.
  5. The Service handles Original Posts in accordance with the terms of service and developer terms of each service. Some features of the Service may become unavailable due to changes in the terms or specifications of each service.
  6. When a User moves from the Service to another service or external website, the terms of use and privacy policy of the destination apply. We are not responsible for the content of external websites.

Article 4 (AI Analysis)

  1. Results of AI Analysis may not accurately reflect the content of the Original Post. Users shall check the generated text themselves and correct it as necessary before use.
  2. Safety notes added by AI Analysis are for reference only and do not guarantee the safety of any drill.
  3. There is a daily limit on the number of times AI Analysis can be used. We set the limit and may change it.

Article 5 (Prohibited Conduct)

In using the Service, Users must not engage in any of the following conduct:

  1. Saving to the Service, or causing to be displayed to other Users, the URL of a video or image uploaded without the permission of the copyright holder or other rights holder (so-called illegal uploads), such as recordings of TV broadcasts, paid video teaching materials, or unauthorized reposts of other people's videos.
  2. Uploading for AI Analysis any image or video not taken by the User themselves (such as a screen recording or screenshot of another person's post).
  3. Infringing the copyright, moral rights, portrait rights, privacy or other rights of the poster of an Original Post or any other third party.

The list of public Cards (name, summary, poster name, reference to the Original Post and, for YouTube videos, the thumbnail image) is also displayed to viewers who are not logged in. Notes entered by the User, tags and rating comments are not displayed. A User who makes a Card public shall confirm that its text is written in their own words and does not copy the caption or other text of the Original Post as is. When several Users make Cards for the same Original Post public, we display one of them in the order we determine.
  2. When a User makes a Menu "public", the content of the Menu is displayed to other Users, and other Users may copy it as their own Menu. The list of public Menus (name, names of the included Cards, thumbnail images of YouTube videos, time and equipment) is also displayed to viewers who are not logged in. Users may withdraw publication of Cards and Menus at any time. In public Cards and public Menus, Original Posts other than YouTube videos (such as TikTok, Instagram and X posts) are shown only as a link to the Original Post, without thumbnail images or embedding.
