Terms of use

These terms of use ("the terms") set the conditions for using Omairi Online ("the service"), provided by KAI Games ("we"). Please read them before using the service. By using the service you agree to them. The Japanese version is the original; this translation is for convenience.

Last updated:

1. Application

These terms apply to every relationship between us and users concerning the service.

Separate rules or notes we show in the service or on the information site (omairi.online) form part of these terms. Where they differ from these terms, the separate rules prevail.

2. Definitions

In these terms the following words have these meanings.

  • "The service": the browser game Omairi Online (app.omairi.online), the information site (omairi.online), and the servers and features that go with them
  • "User": anyone who uses the service (guests and signed-in visitors alike)
  • "Guest": a user who has not signed in
  • "Outside account": the Google, LINE or Apple account used to sign in
  • "Posts": what a user enters or sends in the service (names, the wishes and brush strokes of plaques, reports to the reception, shared photos and so on)
  • "Play money and items": the money in the wallet, stamps, charms, belongings, the diary and other records used only within the service

3. What the service is

The service is a game in which you walk through and visit, in your browser, a fictional shrine modelled on how real shrines are laid out and visited. The shrine, its priests, miko and festivals are fictional and have no connection with any real shrine, religious corporation or other religious body. We are not a religious corporation.

The rites, coin offerings, fortunes (omikuji), wish plaques (ema), charms and other items in the service are all provided as entertainment, not as religious rites, prayers or blessings. A fortune's result does not foretell your luck or future.

4. Fees and paid services

The service is free. Devices and connection charges needed to use it are the user's own.

If any part of the service is offered for a fee in the future, its content, price, payment, cancellation and refund terms will be set out separately and announced in advance. No fee arises unless you expressly apply for it.

5. Guests and signing in

You can use the service as a guest without registering. A guest's record is kept in your browser and is cleared the next time it opens after one hour without use.

You may also sign in with an outside account. Manage that account at your own responsibility under its provider's terms, and do not let others use a device you are signed in on. Actions taken while signed in with an outside account are treated as the account holder's.

Please do not make many guests or accounts for improper purposes.

6. Minors

Minors should use features such as signing in, sending reports and sharing photos with a parent's or guardian's consent.

7. Prohibited conduct

When using the service, users must not:

  • write, in names, plaques, reports, shared photos or elsewhere, anything defamatory, discriminatory, violent or obscene, other people's personal information, advertising or solicitation, or anything else other users would find offensive
  • impersonate others or real people or organisations, or pass themselves off as us or the shrine office
  • infringe the copyright, trademarks, portrait rights, privacy or other rights of us or others
  • play other than as intended by means of cheat tools, modified programs, tampering with communications or deliberate abuse of bugs
  • operate the service with bots or other automated means, or overload the server with mass connections or messages
  • gain or attempt unauthorised access to the service or servers, bypass authentication or exploit vulnerabilities
  • analyse, copy, modify or redistribute the service's programs or data beyond what the law allows
  • misuse the service's mechanisms, such as making reports without reason
  • exchange, or try to exchange, things or records in the service for money or other economic benefit
  • use the service for commercial purposes (unless we allow it)
  • disturb other users' visits or enjoyment, or follow them around
  • break the law or public order and morals, or do anything leading to a crime
  • do anything else we reasonably judge inappropriate

8. Posts

Copyright and other rights in posts stay with the user who made them.

Users grant us, free of charge and without limit of time or territory, permission to store, reproduce, display, transmit, translate and otherwise use posts as far as needed to provide, run, improve and introduce the service. Names, plaques and figures are shown to other users in the same grounds. Users agree not to assert moral rights against us for such use.

Users warrant that they hold the rights needed for their posts and that posts infringe no one's rights.

We may hide or delete, without notice, posts that fall under prohibited conduct or that other users report. A plaque rack keeps only the newest plaques and older ones go in turn. We are not obliged to keep or restore posts.

A photo put on the server for sharing can be seen by anyone with its link and is deleted after 30 days. Once posted to X, Facebook or LINE, it is handled under that service's terms.

9. Play money and items

Play money and items are for playing within the service and have no monetary value. They cannot be exchanged for money, points of other services or goods, nor sold or given between users.

Gifts and letters from the shrine office are also play money and items.

Play money and items may be lost through changes to the service, the clearing of a guest's record or of browser data.

10. AI answers and AI visitors

The answers of the gūji and miko and the behaviour of AI visitors are made automatically by AI; we do not guarantee that they are accurate or complete.

AI answers are not religious teaching or professional advice (medical, legal, financial or other). When visiting a real shrine, follow that shrine's guidance.

11. Outside services

The service works with outside services such as Google, LINE, Apple, X and Facebook for signing in and sharing photos. Their use is governed by each provider's terms. We are not responsible for the content of outside services or for their suspension or changes, except where caused by our intent or negligence.

12. Intellectual property

Rights in the service's programs, images, 3D models, sounds, music, text and other materials belong to us or to third parties who rightfully hold them. Third-party materials and their licences are listed in the credits. These terms give users the right to use the service; they do not transfer or license those rights.

You are welcome to show the service in screenshots or videos on social media or streams for personal purposes. For commercial use, please ask us first.

13. Restrictions on use

If a user breaches these terms, or we reasonably judge that a breach is likely, we may without prior notice take the following measures.

  • Hiding or deleting posts
  • Stopping a name from being shown
  • Refusing entry to grounds shared with other users, or showing the user out of them
  • Limiting connections to the server
  • Deleting records
  • Other necessary and proportionate measures

14. Changes, suspension and end of the service

We may change the service or add or remove features.

We may suspend all or part of the service for maintenance, faults, crowding, natural disasters, network outages or other unavoidable reasons. When crowded, you may be asked to wait for entry or switched to visiting alone.

We may end the service. If so, we will announce it in the service as far in advance as we can.

15. No warranty and limitation of liability

We do not guarantee that the service is free of faults or interruptions, works on every device and browser, or suits a particular purpose. When faults are found, we will make reasonable efforts to fix them.

We are not liable for damage users suffer in connection with the service, except where caused by our intent or gross negligence. However, where our liability is recognised under the Consumer Contract Act or other laws and the damage is caused by our negligence (limited to ordinary negligence, excluding gross negligence), we are liable only for the direct and actual damage that would normally arise.

Disputes between users, or between a user and a third party, are to be settled between the parties, except where caused by our intent or negligence.

16. Users' liability

A user who breaches these terms, or causes damage to us or others by wrongful acts, is liable for that damage as the law provides.

17. Personal information

We handle users' information obtained through the service according to our separate privacy policy.

18. Notices

We give notices to users in ways we find appropriate, such as notices in the service, posts on the information site, or messages to the contacts of signed-in users.

19. Assignment

Users may not assign or pledge their position, rights or obligations under these terms to anyone. If we transfer the business of the service, we may pass our position under these terms, and users' information within the scope of the privacy policy, to the transferee.

20. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found invalid or unenforceable under the Consumer Contract Act or other laws, the remaining provisions stay in effect.

21. Changes to these terms

Under the Civil Code's rules on changing standard terms, we may change these terms where the change suits the general interest of users, or is reasonable in light of its necessity and the appropriateness of its content.

We will announce the new content and the date it takes effect, in the service or on the information site, before it takes effect. Using the service after that date means agreeing to the changed terms.

22. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by and interpreted under the laws of Japan.

Any dispute between us and a user concerning the service or these terms is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court as the court of first instance. However, where a user who is a consumer is allowed by law to bring a claim before another court, that rule applies.
