This English version is provided for convenience. If there is any difference between this translation and the Japanese version, the Japanese version prevails.

Article 1 (Scope)

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) set out the conditions for using markdown.bz (the “Service”). Everyone who uses the Service (each, a “user”) must use the Service in accordance with these Terms.

Article 2 (Service Description)

The Service provides a platform for publishing a Markdown file, or Markdown text that has been entered, together with the images it references, as a share URL with no expiry or with an expiry.

  • Uploaded text and images are stored in storage managed by the Service so that the share page can be displayed.
  • Share URLs have no expiry by default. If an expiry is set, the share automatically becomes unavailable for viewing once the expiry has passed.
  • “No expiry” is a setting that sets no viewing deadline. It does not guarantee permanent storage or perpetual availability.
  • The Service is not intended for long-term storage, backups, storing confidential documents, or sharing large files.

Article 3 (Prohibited Conduct)

In using the Service, users must not engage in any of the following acts.

  • Acts that violate laws and regulations or public order and morals
  • Acts related to criminal activity
  • Sharing another person’s personal information, confidential information or non-public information without permission
  • Sharing content that contains credentials, access keys, passwords or the like
  • Infringing copyrights, trademark rights, portrait rights, privacy rights or other rights
  • Phishing, fraud, impersonation, or distributing malware or dangerous links
  • Harassment, threats, or sharing discriminatory content
  • Interfering with the operation of the Service, or gaining or attempting to gain unauthorized access
  • Placing a load on the Service through excessively large volumes of uploads or through automated posting, circumventing security restrictions, or misusing the reporting feature
  • Posting spam intended for advertising or for manipulating search rankings, or creating shares intended to direct visitors to external sites
  • Any other acts that the operator deems inappropriate

Article 4 (Intellectual Property Rights)

Intellectual property rights relating to the Service belong to the operator. Intellectual property rights in content that users upload or enter belong to those users.

Article 5 (Disclaimers)

The Service is provided “as is,” and no warranty is made as to its availability, accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose or the like. To the extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for any damage incurred by users as a result of changes to the content of the Service, or the interruption or termination of the Service.

  • Loss, corruption, leakage or similar incidents involving files
  • Access, tampering or similar acts by third parties
  • Effects of specification changes to, or failures of, external services (hosting, storage, etc.)

Article 6 (Changes to and Termination of the Service)

The operator may suspend or delete individual shares if there is a violation of these Terms, a report, a legal requirement, a need to protect the Service, or any other operational need. In particular, when the operator finds spam text or shares intended to direct visitors to external sites, the operator deletes them without notice. The operator may also change the content of the Service, or terminate the Service, without prior notice to users.

Article 7 (Changes to the Terms of Service)

The operator may amend these Terms without prior notice to users if it deems this necessary. The amended Terms of Service take effect when they are posted on this page.

Article 8 (Handling of Personal Information)

Personal information is handled in accordance with the separately established Privacy Policy.

Article 9 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction)

Japanese law is the governing law for the interpretation of these Terms. If a dispute arises in connection with the Service, the Osaka District Court shall have exclusive agreed jurisdiction as the court of first instance.
