TERMS OF USE FOR THE HYBRID TIME APPLICATIONS

These Terms of Use for the HYBRID TIME Applications ("Terms of Use") shall apply to the use of the HYBRID TIME Applications (the "App") on any platform or device. These Terms of Use form a legally binding agreement between Citizen Watch Co., Ltd. (the "Company") and any person who accesses or uses the App or all or any part of its functions ("you."). Please ensure to carefully read, and agree to, these Terms of Use prior to accessing and using the App.

1. Terms of Use of the App

The App shall be provided when you agree to the Terms of Use, and you are deemed to have so agreed when you use or access the App. If you do not agree to all the provisions of the most recent Terms of Use, you will be unable to access or use the App. The Company may amend the Terms of Use at its sole discretion. You will be notified of any such amendment by e-mail or other appropriate means. Any amendment will become effective from the time the Company gives notice thereof. Please check the Terms of Use regularly for any amendments. By continuing to use or access the App after an amendment, you are deemed to have agreed to the amended Terms of Use. If you are a minor, you must have the consent of a person with parental authority or other statutory agency to be able to use the App. If you are a minor and use the App under the false assertion that you have such authority, or have reached the age of majority, or otherwise use fraudulent means to make the Company believe that you have legal capacity, you cannot rescind any and all legal acts pertaining to the App. If you are a minor at the time you agree to the Terms of Use and continue to use the App after reaching the age of majority, you are deemed to have ratified any and all legal acts pertaining to these Terms of Use.

Use of the App requires pairing with a corresponding smartwatch, and it is your responsibility to obtain such a smartwatch in order fully utilize all the functions of the App. The App may not function properly if the necessary ancillary applications, firmware, and software updates for the App, your mobile device and smartwatch are not installed. You must pay all fees charged by your mobile carrier in connection with the use of the App. If you perform certain functions on your mobile device, such as taking photos using the App, you may also use the corresponding smartwatch features. However, you accept all responsibility for your mobile device when choosing to use such features.

These Terms of Use apply only to the use of the App. For a smartwatch that is paired with the App (including how such smartwatch products interact with the App), you must also separately comply with all applicable terms of use, warranties and other policies for the smartwatch paired with the App (including those for how any relevant smartwatch products interact with the App). For information on your rights and obligations in respect of any relevant smartwatch products, please see the information provided with your smartwatch.

2. Personal Information Protection Policy

All data provided and collected by the App shall be processed in accordance with the “HYBRID TIME Application Privacy Policy”. Such policies are incorporated into, and form a part of, these Terms of Use. Before accessing and using the App, please ensure that you carefully read and agree to the policies referenced above.

3. You Accept Responsibility for Your Own Use

The App is intended for your own private use, and you accept responsibility for your own use. Notwithstanding any other provisions in these Terms of Use, the Company makes no representations, warranties or commitments as to the accuracy, reliability or effectiveness of the App’s functions or services, including, but not limited to: steps, combustion calories, sleep time, heart rate and other data. The App’s purpose is to provide reasonable approximate values for data such as: pace, steps, combustion calories, traveled distance, sleep time and heart rate. The App relies on the accuracy of the information you enter. The App also uses algorithms which are not necessarily accurate and which are affected by other factors beyond the Company’s control. For instance while a heart rate sensor may typically provide an accurate estimate of a user’s heart rate, there are inherent limitations with the technology that may cause some of the heart rate readings to be inaccurate under certain circumstances, such as the fit of the device, the physiology of the user and the type and intensity of the activity. The Company therefore does not warrant complete accuracy in the data which the App provides. The App does not accurately track each combustion calorie or step, nor does it accurately indicate stride length, walking distance, sleep time or heart rate. Consequently, please refrain from using the data provided by the App for medical purposes. The App is not a medical device, and is not intended to provide any recommendations or medical treatment with respect to health or physical conditions. The App is not designed to diagnose disease or other conditions, nor to treat, alleviate, manage or prevent disease. You should consult a doctor for advice on physical activities, fitness, health-related recommendations or medical treatment. Consult your physician before using a heart rate sensor.

4. Password and Security

You are required to create an account prior to using the App. When creating an account, you agree to transmit accurate and complete information and to update such information from time to time. If your information is suspected to be false, inaccurate, out-of-date or incomplete, the Company may, at its own discretion, require you to correct your registered information accordingly, and may further refuse or cancel the registration of such information. The Company shall not be liable for any disadvantages or damages you have suffered due to false, inaccurate, out of date or incomplete information provided by you.
You are requested to set up a non-transferable password available only for personal use when creating an account. In addition, if you request the Company to send you your lost or forgotten user name or password, the Company may request you to provide information to confirm your identity. You are responsible for protecting your account information and for all activities that occur in your password-protected account. It is your responsibility to register and manage your registered information, including your account ID and password. You must not allow a third party to use your registered account information, nor lend, assign, trade, or change the holder of such information. If you delete your activity history or other information on the App, then depending on the circumstances your information may be permanently deleted or your user name or password may need to be reset. You agree that you will promptly give notice of any unauthorized use of your password or account, or other identified or suspected security breaches, if any. You agree that the Company may send notices or other communications concerning the App by e-mail or other electronic means, and that such notices and communications by electronic means are legally effective.
