Terms of Service
Last Updated: 2026-08-16
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Officast mobile application ("Officast", "the app", "we", or "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the app, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
2. The Service
Officast is a free personal utility for hybrid workers that helps you decide whether to go to the office or work from home by combining your monthly office-day quota with local weather forecasts. It requires no account and stores your data on your device. See our Privacy Policy for details on how your information is handled.
3. License to Use
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Officast for your own personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms and to Apple's App Store Terms of Service. You may not resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit the app.
4. Forecasts and Recommendations Are Informational Only
Officast provides weather forecasts and office-versus-home recommendations for convenience and informational purposes only. Weather data is provided by a third party and may be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, or unavailable, and recommendations are generated automatically from that data and your settings. They are not professional, safety, or travel advice. You are solely responsible for your own decisions and their consequences, including whether to commute, and you should use your own judgment and consult official sources when conditions matter.
5. Third-Party Data
Officast relies on third-party services to function:
- Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com) provides weather forecasts.
- Apple provides device services such as calendar access (for public holidays) and local notifications.
Your use of these underlying services may be subject to their own terms. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of third-party data.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to misuse the app. In particular, you may not reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the app except to the extent permitted by law, interfere with its normal operation, or use it for any unlawful purpose.
7. Intellectual Property
The app, including its name, design, and software, is owned by us and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights in our trademarks or branding.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
The app is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that forecasts will be accurate.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the app or its recommendations. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
10. Changes to the App and Terms
We may update, modify, or discontinue the app or any part of it at any time. We may also revise these Terms from time to time; any changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date above. Your continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
11. Termination
You may stop using the app at any time by deleting it from your device, which also removes all local data. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms.
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. This does not deprive you of any mandatory consumer protections you are entitled to under the laws of your country of residence.
