This is an agreement (“Agreement”) between Kintone Corporation (“Kintone Corporation” or “we”) and you as the customer (“Customer” or “you”) who uses our cloud computing services Kintone (“Kintone” or “Kintone services”). By using (including requesting to use or starting free trial use of) Kintone, you shall be deemed to have consented to these Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”). If you enter into this agreement on behalf of an organization which is Customer of Kintone, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to agree to the Terms of Use on the organization’s behalf. If you do not agree to all these Terms of Use, you must not use Kintone. In addition to these Terms of Use, separate terms and conditions, guidelines and policies may apply with respect to the use of Kintone. Unless otherwise agreed in writing the specific terms and conditions shall prevail should there be any inconsistency between these general Terms of Use and the specific terms of use. Additionally, for any technology consulting or professional services (“Professional Services”) related to these Services that might be contracted between Kintone Corporation and Customer, the terms and conditions of such Professional Services shall be covered separately in related Statement of Work (“SOW”) agreement(s).
The following capitalized terms shall have the meanings provided below:
“Kintone Users & System Administrator” means any person registered by Customer as a manager who has the power to execute, modify or terminate this agreement or takes any other procedures via the Kintone Users & System Administration on Customer’s behalf with Kintone Corporation.
“Kintone Users & System Administration” means the administration page which the Administrator Account can configure various settings of Kintone, such as adding users and configuring password policy. The Kintone Users & System Administrator(s) can purchase services, make payment and change subscription details.
“Service Account” means the account you create on Kintone with IDs assigned and passwords, e-mail address, and access URL to login and such other information as Customer or a User may need to access Kintone (“Service Account Information”). The Service Account used by the Kintone Users & System Administrator for use of managing the Kintone Users & System Administration shall be referred to as the “Administrator Account” and the Service Account for Service shall be referred to as the “User Account”.
“Service Systems” means systems, data servers and any other telecommunication equipment installed by Kintone Corporation to provide Kintone services.
“User” means any individual registered and granted as a user by the Customer for use, or trial use, of Kintone. The Customer may invite any guest user to use the guest space of Kintone and register her as a guest User. The Customer may allow such guest User to use Kintone in the same manner permitted for ordinary Users, provided however that such guest User’s use is strictly limited within the guest space to which she is invited.
“Template Programs” means computer programs, including template and custom applications, provided by us or third party developers via Kintone for the sole purpose of being used with Kintone, and JavaScript or other script files provided by Kintone Corporation for the purpose of customization of Kintone.

You may also be asked to provide us with documents evidencing the information provided is true and accurate.
Your registration may be subject to our further examination process in which we may choose not to accept your registration. We reserve the right whether to accept your registration and may refuse it or later terminate the agreement if we at our sole discretion determine any of the following items can be found:
the registration has been made with false information;
you failed or are likely to fail to perform any contractual obligations under any agreements of services of us or its affiliates.
there is a reasonable doubt about continuous provision of Kintone services; or
it may cause significant interference with our business operations.
Any registration and any other procedures taken via your Administrator Account or anything we confirmed via the e-mail address which is registered at the Administrator Account shall be deemed proceeded and confirmation by the Customer itself.
You may register Users up to the number of users purchased. Only individuals who are registered as Users may use or trial use Kintone, provided that you must ensure that Users comply with these Terms of Use and any other guidelines.
You shall not share, or allow individual Users to share, each User’s account with any other persons.
You may use Kintone on a trial basis in a manner and for a period which will be designated or instructed by us.
If you continue using Kintone after such trial period, you must make registration to begin a paid subscription of Kintone and may need to enter into an agreement with us on use of Kintone. Under no other circumstances, will you be allowed to use Kintone after the trial period.

For more information on subscription fees, please refer to the price list on our website (https://www.kintone.com/pricing/)and/or to a separate subscription service quotation and Order Form that may be provided to Customer.

Separate professional services costs, such as technology consulting, implementation, and training fees may be provided by us to you, but such professional services shall be governed by a separate SOW agreement. The abovementioned fees do not include any communication costs, packet fees or other communications expenses payable to the carrier in connection with the services, which shall be paid by you.

You shall pay all relevant fees and tax and other public charges by the due date individually determined based on the duration of each subscription period.

If you fail to pay any fees or any other obligations by the due date, you shall pay us delinquency charge at 8.00% per annum for the period from the day immediately following the due date to and including the day immediately preceding the day on which the payment is made. Such per-annum rate shall assume a year of 365 days even when the relevant period includes a leap year.
If you fail to pay any fees or any other obligations in full or in part by the due date, we may at our sole discretion suspend provision of Kintone services. If we at our sole discretion give a grace period to you and the fees or any other obligations are paid within such period, we may at our sole discretion opt to keep this Agreement in force and effect and to recommence provision of Kintone services (then, you shall be required to pay fees for a full month period even if it recommences Kintone services in the middle of the calendar month). Monthly or annual fees are payable in full for the month in which provision of Kintone service is suspended, and shall not be reduced or refunded pro-rata even if the provision is suspended in the middle of the calendar month.
