TermsPrivacyCookiesDisclaimer特定商取引法

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and the Operator of StreamStudio Community Pro. Please read them carefully. If you do not agree, do not create an account or use the Service.

1. Who we are and key definitions

1.1 "Operator," "we," "us," "our" means the individual sole proprietor who operates StreamStudio Community Pro, based in Japan. The Operator is the sole party contracting with you and, for data-protection purposes, the data controller for account, billing, and integration data (see the Privacy Policy). The Operator's legal name and business postal address are set out affirmatively in our 特定商取引法に基づく表記 (Specified Commercial Transactions Act notice) and at checkout — they are not gated behind a request. Contact points:

Until a dedicated mailbox is published for a given purpose, the address above serves as the interim contact.

1.2 "Service" means the StreamStudio Community Pro browser-based live-streaming studio, including the streaming stage, guest rooms, Google/YouTube integration, DJ Mixer and Groovebox, recording and Library features, associated websites, and software.

1.3 "You," "Host," "Account holder" means the registered person who holds an account and runs broadcasts. You are responsible for your account, your Content, your Guests, your Sub-users, and your YouTube channel and its compliance.

1.4 "Guest" means a person you invite into a room who shares camera, microphone, and/or a display name from their own device. A Guest need not hold an account. You are responsible for your Guests as described in these Terms.

1.5 "Sub-user" / "Admin" means a team member you authorize to access or operate your account. You are fully responsible for their acts and omissions as if they were your own.

1.6 "Viewer" means a member of the audience watching a broadcast on YouTube. Viewers are not parties to these Terms; their relationship is with YouTube.

1.7 "Content" means anything you or your Guests upload, play, mix, stream, record, display, or transmit through the Service, including video, audio, music, clips, images, logos, avatars, thumbnails, text, and names.

2. Acceptance and eligibility

2.1 By creating an account, connecting a third-party service, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, Cookie/Storage Policy, Disclaimer, and 特定商取引法に基づく表記, all of which are incorporated by reference.

2.2 You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction if higher, and able to form a binding contract. The Service is not directed to children.

2.3 You are responsible for ensuring that every Guest and Sub-user you bring into the Service meets any applicable age and consent requirements. If a Guest is a minor, you are responsible for obtaining any parental or guardian consent required by law. You must not bring any individual under 13 (or the applicable local age of digital consent) into a room, broadcast, or recording (see clauses 11 and 14.2, and the children's-privacy section of our Privacy Policy).

3. The Service and changes to it

3.1 The Service lets you invite Guests, compose a stage or scene in your browser (WebRTC via LiveKit), and broadcast to your own YouTube channel(s). Adjacent features include scheduling, starting and stopping broadcasts, uploading thumbnails, reading and displaying live chat and Super Chat, a DJ Mixer and Groovebox, and recording to a per-plan Library.

3.2 We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features and set or change technical limits. Beneficial changes and minor changes take effect on notice. For any change that materially and adversely affects paid features, we will give reasonable advance notice and state the effective date; such a change takes effect only where it is reasonable in the circumstances (consistent with the standard for standard-form contract changes under 民法第548条の4). Nothing in this clause limits your mandatory rights as a consumer, and clause 16 governs changes to these Terms.

3.3 The Service depends on third parties (including YouTube). We do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or continuously available streaming, and we are not responsible for outages, throttling, policy actions, or changes made by YouTube or other third parties.

4. Your account

4.1 You must provide an accurate email address (and, if you choose, a phone number) and keep your contact details current.

4.2 You are responsible for keeping your login credentials and sign-in codes secure and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at the security contact in clause 1.1 if you suspect unauthorized use. Changing your password signs out your other sessions, and you can end your current session by signing out.

4.3 Authentication and sessions. You can sign in with a one-time code sent by email or SMS, or with an email and password. Signed-in sessions remain valid for up to 30 days, after which you must sign in again. You may be signed in on more than one device at a time. Signing out, or changing your password, terminates your session; on a shared or public device you should sign out and clear your browser storage, because your session is held in your browser. If we offer an in-app "sign out of all devices" or active-session list, you may also use that.

4.4 SMS sign-in. If you provide a mobile number for SMS one-time codes, you consent to receive automated transactional text messages from us at that number for authentication. Message and data rates may apply; message frequency varies. Reply STOP to opt out of SMS codes (you can still use email codes or a password) and HELP for help. Consent to receive SMS is not a condition of purchase.

4.5 You are responsible for the acts and omissions of your Guests and Sub-users, including their Content and their compliance with these Terms.

5. Third-party services and dependencies

5.1 The Service integrates with and relies on third parties. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, in addition to ours:

5.2 We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube, Google, LiveKit, Stripe, Resend, or Twilio. Their names and marks belong to their respective owners.

5.3 You can disconnect YouTube inside the Service at any time, and you can revoke the Service's access to your Google data at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions (also reachable at https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions). On disconnection or account deletion, stored Google/YouTube tokens and cached YouTube data are deleted as described in the Privacy Policy.

6. Subscriptions, trial, and billing

6.1 Plans, prices, and confirmation. Paid plans are billed through Stripe hosted Checkout and managed through the Stripe Customer Portal. Current plans are Community ¥6,000 / Pro ¥12,000 / Studio ¥24,000 per month. Yearly billing is available at approximately 30% off. The final, tax-inclusive price and the billing cycle in your billing currency are shown to you on a confirmation screen before you confirm your purchase, and you can review and correct your selection before you submit it. Whether a displayed price is tax-inclusive of your local tax depends on your location and on clause 6.10; the total shown before you confirm is the amount that will be charged. All charges are processed in Japanese yen (JPY). If your card or account is denominated in another currency, your bank or card issuer may apply its own exchange rate and foreign-transaction fees, which are outside our control. The billing entity's legal name and address are shown at checkout and in our 特定商取引法に基づく表記.

6.2 Free trial. New subscriptions include a 7-day free trial. You will not be charged during the trial. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your paid subscription begins automatically and your first charge is taken at the end of the trial.

6.2a Auto-renewal consent, free-trial reminder, and easy cancellation. Before your first charge, Stripe Checkout presents — together and immediately before you confirm — the plan name, the recurring price, the billing frequency, the renewal terms, the first-charge date, and how to cancel, and we obtain your separate affirmative consent to the automatic renewal, distinct from your general acceptance of these Terms. This is done in accordance with the California Automatic Renewal Law and similar US state laws (e.g. New York, Virginia, Illinois), the FTC negative-option / "click-to-cancel" requirements, and the 改正特定商取引法 (定期購入) final-confirmation-screen (最終確認画面) duty under Art. 12-6. We will send you an email reminder before the 7-day free trial ends and your first charge is taken, stating the charge date, the amount, and how to cancel; for annual plans we will also send a reminder before each renewal, and for monthly plans we confirm the renewal terms at signup. You may cancel online at any time — in two steps or fewer via "Manage subscription" in the Stripe Customer Portal — without contacting us. For consumers in Japan, the same statutory items (分量／renewal until cancelled and cycle, 対価／the amount charged after the trial, 支払時期・方法／first charge at trial end and monthly or yearly thereafter, and 申込みの撤回・解除／the one-step cancellation path) are presented in Japanese on the final confirmation screen.

6.3 Automatic renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or yearly) at the then-current price for your plan, until you cancel. By subscribing and giving the affirmative consent described in clause 6.2a, you authorize us, through Stripe, to charge your payment method on each renewal.

6.4 Price changes. We may change prices. We will give you reasonable advance notice, and any change applies from your next renewal. If you do not accept a price change, you may cancel before it takes effect.

6.5 Cancellation. You can cancel at any time via "Manage subscription" in the Customer Portal. Cancellation stops future renewals. You keep access to paid features until the end of the period you have already paid for. Cancelling during the free trial means you are not charged.

6.6 Refunds. Nothing in this clause affects any statutory refund or cancellation right you have as a consumer (including the withdrawal right in clause 6.7, defective-service remedies, and rights under the Japanese 消費者契約法); where such a right applies, we will refund you as required by law. Subject to that, and except where expressly stated here, payments are non-refundable, and we do not provide pro-rata refunds for partial periods.

6.7 EU/UK/EEA right of withdrawal for digital services. If you are a consumer in the EU, EEA, or UK, you normally have a 14-day right to withdraw from a purchase of digital services. Because the Service is provided immediately, when you subscribe you will be asked to give your express prior consent to begin the Service during the withdrawal period and to acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once performance begins. We will provide you with confirmation of this contract — including your express prior consent to immediate performance and your acknowledgement that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal — on a durable medium (by email) at or promptly after purchase, and we retain that record. Where you have given that consent, we have begun providing the Service, and we have supplied that confirmation, the right of withdrawal no longer applies. Where you have not, you may withdraw within 14 days by contacting us at the address in clause 1.1.

6.8 Failed payments and dunning. If a renewal payment fails, we will notify you by email and Stripe will retry the charge over a period of up to 14 days. During that period your access may continue; if payment is still not completed by the end of that period, your paid features will be suspended, and if payment remains outstanding your subscription will be cancelled. You can update your payment method at any time in the Customer Portal.

6.9 Billing disputes and chargebacks. If you believe you have been billed in error, please contact us first at the address in clause 1.1 so we can help. Nothing here limits your right to dispute a charge with your card issuer or bank — we simply ask that you contact us first so we can resolve billing errors quickly. We use Stripe's hosted payment pages, so card details are entered directly with Stripe and are never transmitted to or stored on our servers. This keeps our card handling within PCI DSS SAQ-A scope, which we self-assess annually; we hold only your subscription status/plan and Stripe customer/subscription identifiers.

6.10 Taxes. Prices displayed at checkout include any consumption tax, VAT, GST, or equivalent that we are legally required to collect for your country, and the exact tax-inclusive total in your billing currency is shown before you confirm. Where we are the party legally responsible for collecting VAT/GST on this digital (electronically-supplied) service — for example in the EU, the UK, and other jurisdictions with rules for electronically-supplied services — we account for it. You remain responsible only for taxes we are not legally required to collect from you.

7. Your Content and licence

7.1 You keep your rights. As between you and us, you own your Content. We claim no ownership of it.

7.2 Licence to us. You grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, cache, process, encode, transmit, and display your Content solely to operate and provide the Service and to deliver your broadcasts and recordings to the destinations you choose. This licence exists only for as long as needed to provide the Service and ends when your Content is deleted, except for residual backups that expire in the ordinary course.

7.3 Your warranties. You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights, licences, consents, and permissions for all Content you use through the Service — including music and sound recordings, video clips, images, logos, trademarks, and the appearances, voices, and names of your Guests — and that your use does not infringe or violate the rights of any third party or any law.

8. Acceptable Use Policy

8.1 You agree not to use the Service to create, upload, stream, record, or transmit anything that:

8.2 You also agree not to resell, sublicense, or provide the Service to third parties except through the normal Guest/Sub-user features, and not to misrepresent your identity or affiliation.

8.3 We may investigate suspected violations and may remove Content, and suspend or terminate accounts, as described in clause 14.

9. Music, clips, and copyright responsibility

9.1 You are solely responsible for rights. The DJ Mixer, Groovebox, and recording features let you play, mix, broadcast, and record audio and video. You are solely responsible for holding every licence and right needed for any music, sound recording, clip, image, or other material you use — including, where applicable, sound-recording rights, musical-work/publishing rights, synchronization rights, and public-performance rights. Playing commercial music on a public live stream generally requires licences that we do not provide.

9.2 No licence from us. Nothing in the Service grants you any licence to any third-party music or content. Unless expressly stated, all such content is supplied by you, not by us. If we ever make any Operator-supplied library content available, its own stated licence terms apply.

9.3 YouTube consequences. YouTube may mute, block, remove, demonetize, age-restrict, or issue strikes against streams or recordings that contain unlicensed or infringing content. You bear all such consequences, including any strikes, suspensions, or terminations of your YouTube channel. You must not attempt to circumvent YouTube's Content ID or other rights-management systems.

9.4 Recordings and live chat / Super Chat. Recordings stored in your Library may embed third-party content and the appearances of Guests and Viewers. Live chat and Super Chat data retrieved from the YouTube Data API (author names, messages, and Super Chat amounts) are NOT written into stored Library recordings; that data is used only in real time to display the on-screen overlay while you are live and is handled as described in the Privacy Policy (not persisted beyond what is needed to display it, and subject to deletion on disconnect). You are responsible for the lawful storage, use, download, and distribution of your recordings, and for obtaining any consent required to record Guests or Viewers. Recording-consent, wiretap, and two-party-consent laws vary by country and by US state; complying with them is your responsibility.

10. Copyright complaints, notice-and-takedown, and repeat infringers

10.1 We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to valid notices. Send copyright complaints to our designated contact: the legal@ mailbox in clause 1.1 (or the interim address there), subject line "Copyright Notice."

10.2 DMCA-style notice. A valid notice should include, consistent with 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3): (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (c) identification of the material claimed to be infringing and enough information to locate it; (d) your contact details; (e) a statement of good-faith belief that the use is not authorized; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act for them.

10.3 Counter-notice. If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice with the corresponding statutory elements. We may restore the material as permitted by law.

10.4 Other regimes. We also act on valid notices under the EU Digital Services Act and Copyright Directive (Art. 17) notice-and-action framework and under the Japanese Copyright Act, as applicable.

10.5 Repeat infringers. We will, in appropriate circumstances, disable or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

10.6 We act as a neutral technical intermediary and hosting provider and rely on applicable safe-harbor protections; we remove or disable infringing material once we have valid notice.

11. Recording feature — additional terms

11.1 You control whether and when you record. Before recording, you are responsible for informing your Guests and, where required, obtaining their consent, and for making clear to Guests when a session is being broadcast to YouTube or recorded.

11.2 No under-age participants. You must not record, broadcast, or otherwise bring any individual under 13 (or the applicable local age of digital consent) into a room. If a Guest is under that age, do not admit them (see clauses 2.3 and 14.2).

11.3 Storage is subject to the limits of your plan. When you exceed your limit, downgrade, or cancel, we may prevent new recordings and, after your access ends, delete stored recordings as described in the Privacy Policy. You are responsible for downloading and keeping your own copies of anything you wish to retain.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

12.1 The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted or error-free operation.

12.2 We do not warrant that broadcasts will be reliable, that YouTube or any third party will be available, that recordings will be captured or preserved, or that your Content complies with any law. We are not responsible for third-party services or for your, your Guests', or your Viewers' Content or conduct. We provide no legal, financial, or professional advice, and we do not guarantee any audience reach, engagement, or monetization.

12.3 Consumer floor. Nothing in this clause excludes warranties or protections that cannot be excluded under the mandatory law that applies to you as a consumer. In particular, for consumers this "as is" disclaimer and the liability limits in clause 13 apply only to the extent of light negligence (軽過失); they do not exclude or limit our liability for intentional acts or gross negligence (故意・重過失), for our liability for non-conformity of the service (契約不適合責任), or for any other liability that cannot be excluded under the Japanese 消費者契約法 or the mandatory consumer law that applies to you.

13. Limitation of liability

13.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, recordings, streams, or business, arising out of or relating to the Service, even if we were advised of the possibility.

13.2 To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms is limited to the greater of the total amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or ¥1,000.

13.3 Carve-outs. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for willful misconduct or gross negligence (故意・重過失), for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for non-conformity of the service (契約不適合責任) as against a consumer, or under mandatory consumer-protection laws (including the Japanese 消費者契約法 and equivalent consumer laws in your jurisdiction). As stated in clause 12.3, for consumers the limits in this clause 13 apply only to the extent of light negligence (軽過失). If you are a consumer, these Terms do not remove statutory rights you have that cannot be waived, and any limitation in this clause applies only to the extent permitted by the law that applies to you.

14. Suspension and termination

14.1 By you. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. Billing follows clause 6.

14.2 By us. We may suspend or terminate your access, in whole or in part, if you materially breach these Terms (including the Acceptable Use Policy or the copyright provisions), if required by law or by a third-party provider, or to protect the Service, other users, or third parties. Bringing a person known to be under 13 (or the applicable local age of digital consent) into a room, broadcast, or recording is a material breach that permits immediate termination. Where practical and lawful, we will give notice and an opportunity to cure; for serious or repeated violations we may act immediately.

14.3 Effect. On termination, your right to use the Service ends. We may delete your Content and account data in the ordinary course, subject to the retention periods in the Privacy Policy and to any legal obligations. Clauses that by their nature should survive (including 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, and 17) survive termination.

15. Governing law and disputes

15.1 These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan, and the Tokyo District Court has exclusive jurisdiction as the court of first instance, except as set out in clauses 15.2 and 15.3. This exclusive-forum provision does not apply to the extent it is prohibited by the law of a consumer's country or US state of residence; US consumers may bring claims that must, under their local law, be heard locally in their home jurisdiction.

15.2 Consumer carve-out. If you use the Service as a consumer, this clause does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of your country of residence, nor of your right to bring proceedings in, or to rely on the mandatory law of, your home jurisdiction where that law gives you rights that cannot be waived. In particular, consumers in the EU, EEA, and UK retain their local mandatory protections and forum rights.

15.3 US consumers — informal resolution and local forums. Before filing a claim, please contact us at the address in clause 1.1 so we can try to resolve it informally. Nothing in these Terms prevents you from bringing an individual claim in small-claims court, or in another forum that your local law makes available, where that law requires it. (Any binding arbitration or class-action-waiver provision, if introduced in a future version, will be presented clearly and conspicuously and separately acknowledged, and will include a small-claims carve-out and a 30-day opt-out; none applies under this version.)

16. Changes to these Terms

16.1 We may update these Terms from time to time. Consistent with the standard-form-contract change rules under 民法第548条の4 and consumer-protection law:

We do not rely on your mere continued use of the Service as consent to a material adverse change. If you do not agree to a change that has taken effect, you should stop using the Service.

17. General

17.1 Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including internet, hosting, or third-party-provider failures, outages, acts of government, or natural events.

17.2 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a transfer of the Service or business, subject to your mandatory consumer rights.

17.3 Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect, and the unenforceable provision is limited to the minimum extent necessary.

17.4 No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.

17.5 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie/Storage Policy, Disclaimer, and 特定商取引法に基づく表記, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service and supersede prior agreements on the subject.

17.6 Languages. We may provide these Terms in several languages for convenience. If there is any conflict, the English version controls, except where the mandatory law that applies to you as a consumer requires otherwise.

17.7 Contact. Questions about these Terms: the contacts in clause 1.1.

This document is a template provided for convenience and does not constitute legal advice. Laws differ by country and change over time, and this Service operates worldwide across multiple legal regimes. Before launch, the Operator should have these Terms — and all related policies, the 特定商取引法に基づく表記 / final confirmation screen, and the Stripe Checkout consent, reminder, and tax configuration — reviewed and adapted by qualified legal counsel in Japan and in the other key markets where the Service is offered.
