Last updated: September 23, 2026
1. About these Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of AI Tea Counseling (“Service”), provided by Funpicking Co., Ltd., the operator of Shizuoka Matcha Therapy (“we,” “us,” or “our”).
Please read these Terms before using the Service. By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
2. What the Service does
AI Tea Counseling asks about matters such as your preferences, mood, intended occasion, and caffeine preferences, then suggests teas from the Shizuoka Matcha Therapy product range. It may also provide information about a tea’s origin, producer, characteristics, and preparation, and link you to a product page.
Recommendations and descriptions may be generated or assisted by artificial intelligence. They can be incomplete or inaccurate. The Service and its available teas, features, and languages may change.
The Service is currently available without a separate usage fee. If you choose to purchase a product, the price, shipping charges, and applicable sales terms will be shown separately in the online store.
3. Who may use the Service
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority where you live, to use the Service independently. If you are younger, you may use it only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian, where permitted by applicable law.
The Service may not be available in every location. You are responsible for complying with laws that apply to your use of it.
4. Tea recommendations and health information
The Service helps you explore teas according to your stated preferences. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or individualized nutritional advice. A recommendation does not mean that a tea is safe or suitable for every person, or that it will prevent, treat, or cure any condition.
Tea may contain caffeine or other substances that affect people differently. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a medical condition or allergy, take medication, or have been advised to limit caffeine, consult a qualified healthcare professional before relying on a recommendation or consuming a product. Check the product information and ingredients before purchase or consumption.
Do not use the Service for an emergency. If you believe you need urgent medical help, contact local emergency services or a healthcare professional.
5. Information you provide
You may choose what information to share with the Service. Please do not enter information you do not want processed, including detailed medical records, identification numbers, payment card information, or another person’s personal information without their permission.
You are responsible for the information you submit and for using the Service lawfully. You must not submit content that is unlawful, infringes another person’s rights, interferes with the Service, or attempts to access its systems without authorization.
You retain any rights you have in content you submit. You permit us and our service providers to process that content as necessary to operate the Service, generate your response, maintain security, and handle it as described in our Privacy Policy. This permission does not transfer ownership of your content to us.
6. AI and third-party providers
We may use third-party technology providers to operate the Service. Information you submit may be transmitted to and processed by those providers for that purpose, as described in our Privacy Policy.
AI responses may vary even when similar information is submitted. Please use your own judgment and verify information that matters to your decision. We may correct or remove inaccurate content.
7. Products and external websites
A link from the Service to an online store does not itself create a purchase agreement. Product availability, descriptions, prices, delivery areas, payment, returns, and other purchase conditions are governed by the terms and information presented by the seller at the time of purchase.
The Service may also link to websites operated by others. Their content and practices are governed by their own terms and policies.
8. Intellectual property
The Service, including its design, text, images, branding, and software, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by applicable law. You may use the Service for its intended personal purposes. These Terms do not give you ownership of, or permission to commercially reuse, its content or branding.
9. Availability and changes
We may maintain, update, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Service, including during testing or development. We aim to provide useful information but do not guarantee that the Service will always be available, uninterrupted, accurate, or suitable for a particular purpose.
10. Responsibility and liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for losses caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control or by your reliance on an inaccurate AI response without appropriate verification.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited, or takes away rights you have under applicable consumer protection law.
11. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected, used, shared, retained, and protected in connection with the Service, and how you can exercise any applicable privacy rights. Please review it before submitting information.
12. Ending use of the Service
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may restrict or end access where reasonably necessary to protect the Service or others, address a violation of these Terms, or comply with law.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as the Service or applicable requirements change. We will post the updated version with a new “Last updated” date. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent. Changes will not remove rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan, except where mandatory laws of your place of residence apply. Any dispute will be subject to the courts with jurisdiction under applicable law. This section does not limit any right to bring a claim in a court or forum made available to you by mandatory consumer protection law.
