taokihoTERMS
These Terms govern use of taokiho, provided by LiDetour. Please read them before registering or using the Service.
The Japanese version of these Terms is the authoritative version. This English version and any other translation are provided for reference only. If there is any discrepancy, the Japanese version prevails to the extent permitted by applicable law.
ENACTED AND EFFECTIVE / 2026-07-29
These Terms apply between LiDetour (“we,” “us,” or “our”) and each person, company, or other organization using taokiho (the “Service,” and each a “User”).
By registering an account, joining an organization, uploading a drawing, or using the Service, the User agrees to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. A person using the Service for an organization represents that they have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
The Service may be used only by people who are at least 18 and have legal capacity to contract. Users must provide accurate registration information, safeguard authentication credentials, and are responsible for activity under their accounts.
A User must promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized use or a security incident. Accounts may not be transferred, lent, or shared with another person.
Organization Owners and authorized administrators may invite or remove members, change roles, access projects, and manage subscriptions and billing.
A User of an organization account acknowledges that its administrators can access and manage account information, usage, and User Content within that organization. The organization is responsible for permission settings and promptly removing access for departing personnel.
The Service assists with analyzing PDF, PNG, or JPEG mechanical drawings and creating recognized dimensions, review warnings, 3D previews, STEP files, and other outputs.
We set supported formats, file size, page count, processing volume, retention, features, and limits by plan. The Service does not replace engineering services, professional validation, manufacturing approval, or expert judgment.
Users and their respective rights holders retain rights in drawings, files, instructions, names, and other information submitted to the Service, and in user-specific outputs generated from them (collectively, “User Content”).
The User grants us a non-exclusive right to copy, transform, transmit, and process User Content only as needed to provide, process, store, display, deliver, maintain, secure, and support the Service. This license lasts only as long as needed for those purposes.
The User represents that it has all rights, permissions, and lawful grounds needed to upload and process User Content. We do not use User Content to train general-purpose AI models without the User’s express consent.
The Service uses generative AI and automated processing. Outputs may contain misread dimensions, missing geometry, incorrect assumptions, code defects, or model defects.
Before using any output for manufacturing, machining, estimating, ordering, safety assessment, or a design decision, a suitably qualified and experienced person must independently compare it against the source drawing, dimensions, tolerances, units, materials, finishes, process requirements, standards, structural requirements, safety requirements, and intended use.
We do not warrant that an output is manufacturing-ready, accurate, non-infringing, or fit for a particular purpose. Users must not rely solely on an output for safety-critical parts, life-safety uses, or uses requiring regulatory certification.
Users are responsible for complying with export controls, economic sanctions, import laws, and other trade laws of Japan, the United States, and the place of use.
The Service may be accessible from cloud infrastructure or personnel outside Japan. Information requiring an export license, restricted-country or restricted-person access, special encryption, or fixed data residency must not be uploaded unless expressly approved under a written agreement with us.
Plan prices, included credits, limits, retention, and features are governed by the terms shown on the pricing page or in Checkout at enrollment. The Service displays the required credits before generation and consumes them after the User confirms.
If a failure, timeout, or automated validation error in our systems prevents the required generation process from completing, we return the applicable credits. Changed inputs, generation under different conditions, or subjective dissatisfaction with a completed output do not qualify unless expressly stated otherwise.
Monthly credits expire at the next grant and do not roll over. Purchased top-up credits expire on the earlier of 12 months after purchase or 30 days after the paid subscription ends, unless enrollment terms or applicable law provide otherwise.
Paid plans are monthly or annual recurring subscriptions. Unless Checkout states otherwise, each subscription automatically renews for the same period at the end of the billing term, and the payment method on file is charged the then-current fee and taxes.
Before enrolling, the User must review the displayed fee, billing frequency, automatic renewal, cancellation method, and taxes and consent to Stripe’s payment processing. We may restrict access, suspend a subscription, or retry payment after a failed payment or invalid payment information.
Unless law requires otherwise, we will give reasonable advance notice of a price change. A User who does not agree may cancel before renewal.
Upgrades take effect immediately and may result in a prorated charge. Downgrades and cancellation generally take effect at the end of the current term. Users can cancel online through the billing screen or Stripe customer portal.
Because the Service is digital, paid fees are nonrefundable except where required by law, for duplicate charges, for qualifying system failures we approve, or where Checkout or a separate agreement expressly states otherwise. Cancellation does not eliminate charges due through its effective date.
After termination, STEP and other downloads stop. User Content may be retained until the earlier of the plan retention deadline or 30 days after termination and then deleted or made inaccessible. Users must retrieve needed data before termination.
We or our licensors own the Service, software, interfaces, designs, marks, documentation, underlying technology, prompts, processing logic, and improvements. These Terms do not transfer any right other than the express right to use the Service.
We may use suggestions or feedback that do not contain personal or confidential information to improve the Service without compensation.
We handle nonpublic User Content under the Privacy Policy and reasonable safeguards. These Terms are not a separate nondisclosure agreement and do not prevent legally required disclosures, necessary processing by providers, sharing at the User’s direction, or use of information already public.
If special confidentiality duties, data processing terms, audit rights, data residency, or security requirements are needed, the User must enter an Enterprise or other written agreement before uploading the affected information.
We may stop processing content, restrict access, suspend an account, or terminate a subscription to the extent needed for a Terms violation, unpaid fees, a security risk, unlawful use, a third-party claim, excessive load, or a legal requirement. If the matter is not urgent, we will try to provide a reasonable opportunity to cure.
A User may request account deletion through the designated process. Unpaid balances and information needed for legal retention, disputes, or abuse prevention may remain after termination.
We may change, interrupt, or discontinue all or part of the Service for improvements, maintenance, security, legal compliance, or business needs. We will try to provide reasonable advance notice of a planned material change or discontinuation.
We are not liable, to the extent an event continues, for delay or nonperformance caused by telecommunications failures, provider outages, disasters, war, cyberattacks, government action, or another event beyond our reasonable control.
The Service is provided as is and as available. We disclaim all express and implied warranties of continuity, uninterrupted operation, completeness, accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, absence of error, or achievement of a desired result.
This section does not limit a warranty or User right that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.
For loss caused by our ordinary negligence, our liability is limited to ordinary and direct damages actually incurred, up to the amount the User actually paid us for the Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the loss.
The preceding limitation does not apply to loss caused by our intentional misconduct or gross negligence, personal injury or death, or any liability that cannot be limited under Japan’s Consumer Contract Act or another mandatory law.
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for lost profits, lost opportunities, data loss, or indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages. Except for our intentional misconduct or gross negligence, we are not liable for loss caused by failure to perform pre-manufacturing review, prohibited use, or User Content.
A User acting for business purposes will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising from its User Content, breach of these Terms, violation of law, or infringement of a third party’s rights, except to the extent caused by us. This section does not impose an obligation on a consumer where prohibited by applicable law.
We may change these Terms if the change benefits users generally or is reasonable in light of the contract’s purpose, the need for the change, proportionality, and other circumstances. We will give advance notice of a material change and its effective date through the Service, by email, or through another reasonable method.
We will obtain separate consent where required by law. A User who does not agree may stop using the Service before the change takes effect.
These Terms and the relationship concerning the Service are governed by the laws of Japan. The Tokyo District Court has exclusive jurisdiction as the court of first instance over disputes relating to these Terms or the Service.
The preceding sentence does not exclude mandatory consumer protection law or jurisdictional rights that apply based on the User’s residence and cannot be waived by contract.
The Japanese version of these Terms is authoritative. This English version and any other translation are for reference only. If there is a discrepancy, the Japanese version prevails to the extent permitted by applicable law.
