Terms of Service
Last updated: August 8, 2026
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") set out the conditions for using "DANSTA" (the "App") provided by EAST LABO Inc. ("we," "us," or "our"). By using the App, you are deemed to have agreed to these Terms.
Article 1 (Application)
The purpose of these Terms is to define the rights and obligations between us and users regarding the use of the App, and they apply to all relationships between users and us relating to the use of the App.
Article 2 (Definitions)
The following terms used in these Terms have the meanings set out below:
- "App" means the application named "DANSTA" and its related services provided by us.
- "User" means anyone who uses the App.
Article 3 (Use)
The App can be used without account registration. Users shall agree to these Terms and then download and begin using the App.
Article 4 (Handling of Photos and Likenesses, and User Responsibility)
The App crops a photo you choose on your device into a "mask" and lets you create images and videos (such as GIFs) of a character dancing with that mask composited onto it. All of this processing is performed on your device, and photos and the images and videos you create are never transmitted externally (for details, please see our "Privacy Policy"). Whether the images or videos you create are sent or shared with others depends on your own action.
- Users warrant that they themselves hold the rights necessary to use the photos and materials used in the App.
- If any person (a third party) appears in a photo, the User is responsible for obtaining any necessary consent regarding that person's portrait rights and similar rights.
- Users are responsible for the content of the images and videos they create with the App, including when they send or share them with third parties.
- We bear no responsibility for any dispute or damage arising between a User and a third party due to, among other things, the use of a third party's photo, likeness, copyrighted work, or other protected subject matter without the rights holder's consent.
Article 5 (Fees, Advertising, and In-App Purchases)
The App is free to use on a basic level. The App displays advertisements. Exported images and videos include the App's watermark (the watermark applies to all Users and remains after the in-app purchase). We offer a one-time in-app purchase that removes ads; it also includes every unlockable item added in future updates. In-app purchases and their restoration are processed through the App Store or Google Play, and fees, payment, and refunds are governed by the terms of each app store.
Article 6 (Prohibited Acts)
In using the App, Users must not engage in the following acts:
- Acts that violate laws or public order and morals
- Acts related to criminal activity
- Acts that infringe the portrait rights, privacy, honor, copyright or other intellectual property rights, or other rights or interests of third parties
- Using a third party's photo, likeness, or copyrighted work in the App without the rights holder's consent
- Creating or sharing images or videos using the App for the purpose of defaming, threatening, or harassing others
- Acts that destroy or interfere with the functions of the App's servers or network
- Acts that may interfere with the operation of the App's services
- Reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling, or similar acts on the App
- Other acts that we deem inappropriate
Article 7 (Suspension of Provision of the App, etc.)
We may suspend or interrupt the provision of all or part of the App without prior notice to Users if we determine that any of the following applies:
- When performing maintenance, inspection, or updates of the systems relating to the App
- When provision of the App becomes difficult due to force majeure such as an earthquake, lightning, fire, power outage, or natural disaster
- When we otherwise determine that provision of the App is difficult
Article 8 (Disclaimer of Warranty and Limitation of Liability)
- We do not warrant, expressly or impliedly, that the App is free from de facto or legal defects (including defects relating to safety, reliability, accuracy, completeness, effectiveness, fitness for a particular purpose, and security, as well as errors, bugs, and infringements of rights).
- We bear no responsibility for any damage caused to Users arising from the App. However, this disclaimer does not apply where the agreement between us and a User regarding the App constitutes a consumer contract under the Consumer Contract Act of Japan.
- Even in the case set out in the proviso of the preceding item, we bear no responsibility for damage arising from special circumstances among the damages caused to Users by our default or tort due to our negligence (excluding gross negligence).
Article 9 (Changes to Service Content, etc.)
We may change the content of the App or discontinue the provision of the App without notifying Users, and we bear no responsibility for any damage caused to Users thereby.
Article 10 (Changes to the Terms of Service)
We may change these Terms at any time without notifying Users when we deem it necessary. If a User continues to use the App after the Terms are changed, that User is deemed to have agreed to the revised Terms.
Article 11 (Handling of Personal Information)
We shall appropriately handle information relating to the use of the App in accordance with our "Privacy Policy".
Article 12 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction)
- The laws of Japan shall be the governing law for the interpretation of these Terms.
- In the event of a dispute relating to the App, the Kobe District Court shall be the exclusive court of first instance by agreement.
