Terms of Service

Effective Date: October 21, 2025

Developer: PikePlace LLC (“PikePlace”, “we”, “our”, or “us”)

Application: Chipmark (“the App”)

Jurisdiction: Governed by the laws of Japan

1. Acceptance of Terms

Please read these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) carefully before using the App operated by PikePlace LLC.

Your access to and use of the App is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the Terms, you may not access or use the App.

These Terms apply to all users who access or use the App. We may update these Terms at any time. When we do, we will notify users within the App. Continued use of the App after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Description of Service

Chipmark provides the iOS application and a browser extension (“Extension”) designed for Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers, allowing users to access and manage their bookmarks across Apple and non-Apple devices. The App is free to use, but certain features — such as iCloud synchronization — require an active subscription plan. All user data is stored securely within Apple’s iCloud services, under the user’s own Apple ID. PikePlace LLC does not operate its own servers and has no access to user data.

3. Subscriptions

Some parts of the App are offered on a subscription basis (“Subscription(s)”). Subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”). Billing Cycles are typically monthly or yearly, depending on the plan you select through Apple’s App Store.

At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the same conditions unless canceled. You may cancel your Subscription renewal at any time through your App Store account settings.

4. Free Trial

At our discretion, PikePlace may offer a Subscription with a free trial for a limited time (“Free Trial”). If you do not cancel before the Free Trial period ends, you will automatically be charged the applicable Subscription fee based on your selected plan.

5. Fee Changes

PikePlace may modify the Subscription fees at any time. Any change will take effect at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle. You will receive prior notice of any price changes, and continuing your Subscription after the change becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of the new fee.

6. Refunds

Except where required by applicable law or Apple’s App Store policies, paid Subscription fees are non-refundable. Refund requests under local consumer protection laws will be processed in accordance with those laws.

7. User Accounts and Authentication

The App does not require a separate account or login. The Extension authenticates users through Apple’s “Sign in with Apple.” All authentication and identity management are handled by Apple ID and iCloud. Authentication tokens are managed by Apple and not stored by PikePlace LLC. We do not access or store your Apple ID credentials or any personal authentication information. Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their Apple ID and browser environment.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not:

Decompile, reverse engineer, or attempt to extract the App’s source code
Interfere with or disrupt iCloud or other Apple services
Use the App for unlawful, harmful, or abusive activities

Violation of these rules may result in suspension or termination of your access to the App.

9. Data Storage and Security

All user data is stored privately within your own iCloud account, managed by Apple Inc. PikePlace LLC does not collect, process, or share any user data. Apple’s security and privacy measures apply to all iCloud-stored information. For more details, see Apple’s Privacy Policy.

When using the Extension on Google Chrome or any Chromium-based browser, users should ensure that their browser is up to date and obtained from a trusted source.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

Your use of the App is at your sole risk. The App is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

PikePlace LLC does not warrant that:

The App will function uninterrupted, secure, or error-free
Defects will be corrected
The App or its servers are free from viruses or harmful components
The results of using the App will meet your expectations

Where applicable law prohibits such disclaimers, they shall apply only to the extent permitted by law.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, PikePlace LLC and its directors, employees, agents, and partners shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to:

Loss of data or content stored in iCloud
Inability to access or use the App
Unauthorized access, use, or alteration of data
Errors, omissions, or service interruptions caused by Apple’s systems
Browser incompatibility or instability in Google Chrome or other Chromium-based browsers
Authentication issues or service interruptions caused by Apple or browser vendors
Unauthorized access due to compromised browser environments
Conflicts with other installed extensions

Our total liability shall in no case exceed the amount paid by you for the App (if any) during the twelve (12) months prior to the event giving rise to the claim.

12. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in and to Chipmark, including its software, design, trademarks, and content, are owned by PikePlace LLC. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our prior written permission.

13. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or engage in unlawful activity. Termination will not affect rights or obligations accrued prior to termination.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan. Any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court.
