Terms of Service

Last updated: July 21, 2026

These terms govern your use of Ritsuban — the daily-planning service available on the web and as desktop, iOS, and Android apps (the "Service"), operated by Ritsuban ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these terms and to the Privacy Policy.

1. Your account

You need an account to use the Service. You can sign up with an email address and password or with a Google account; keep your credentials secure and give us accurate information. Your account also includes a personal email-to-task capture address — treat it like a password, because anyone who has it can add items to your inbox. You are responsible for activity on your account. You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service.

2. The free trial

Every new account starts with a 30-day, full-featured free trial. No payment method is required, and nothing is charged when the trial ends — the trial never converts into a paid subscription by itself.

3. Subscriptions and billing

Ritsuban Pro costs $8 per month or $72 per year (25% less than paying monthly). One subscription unlocks the Service on all platforms — web, desktop, iOS, and Android — and the price is the same wherever you subscribe. Prices may not include applicable taxes, which are calculated at checkout.

Automatic renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or yearly) at the then-current price, until you cancel. You give your affirmative consent to this renewal when you subscribe. We send a reminder before an annual subscription renews.

Cancellation. You can cancel at any time, and cancelling is as easy as subscribing: web subscriptions are cancelled from your billing/subscription management page; App Store and Google Play subscriptions are cancelled in your device's subscription settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you've already paid for; you keep full access until then, and you are not charged again.

Price changes. If we change prices, the new price applies from your next renewal, and we will notify you before it takes effect. If you don't agree, cancel before the renewal.

4. When you're not subscribed

When your trial ends, or a subscription lapses, your account becomes read-only. Your data is not deleted: you can still sign in, view everything, export your data, delete your account, and subscribe. Creating and editing resume the moment you subscribe. Email sent to your capture address while read-only still arrives in your inbox.

5. Refunds and withdrawal

Purchases made through the App Store or Google Play are governed by Apple's and Google's refund policies — request refunds through them. For web purchases: if you are a consumer in the EU, EEA, or UK, you have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal; because the Service is delivered immediately, you consent at checkout to immediate delivery, and to the extent permitted the withdrawal right is limited accordingly — but if something isn't right in your first 14 days, contact us at support@ritsuban.com and we will make it right. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under mandatory consumer law.

6. Your content

Everything you put into Ritsuban — tasks, notes, plans, reflections, email you forward to your capture address — is yours. You grant us only the limited license needed to operate the Service: to store, back up, process, and display that content to you and sync it across your devices. We don't sell your content, show you ads, or use your content to train machine-learning models. You can export it or delete it (with your account) at any time from the app's settings.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use the Service for anything unlawful, or to store or distribute unlawful content;
  • probe, disrupt, or overload the Service, or attempt to access other users' accounts or data;
  • abuse the email-to-task system (for example, using it to relay spam or deliberately flooding capture addresses);
  • resell or white-label the Service without our written permission.

8. Termination

You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from the app's settings — deletion permanently removes your data per the Privacy Policy. Note that deleting your account does not cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription; cancel it in your store settings, otherwise the store will keep billing you. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms; where reasonable, we'll warn you first and give you the chance to export your data.

9. Service changes and availability

We work to keep Ritsuban fast and available, but the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We may change, add, or remove features; if we discontinue the Service, we will give you reasonable notice and a way to export your data.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. For material changes we'll notify you by email or in the app before they take effect; continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the updated terms. The "Last updated" date above always reflects the current version.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which the operator is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules — except where the mandatory consumer-protection law of your country of residence applies instead.
