Urania Partner Terms (Draft)

  • Version: draft (not in force)
  • Operator: FUJII WORKS, K.K. (株式会社フジイワークス; "we", "us")

These Partner Terms (the "Terms") set out the conditions between us and anyone who takes part in the referral program (the "Program") of our fortune-telling app "Urania" (a "Partner"). Before joining, Partners must agree to these Terms, the Creator Guide (https://fworks.studio/urania/partners/guide/en/), the Urania Terms of Use and the Urania Privacy Policy. The Creator Guide forms part of these Terms.

1. The Program

  1. In the Program, a Partner introduces Urania on social media or elsewhere, and we pay the Partner a reward based on purchases made by users who started Urania through the Partner's own link or code ("Referred Users").
  2. The Program is not a commissioned job with a promised payment. A Partner is not our employee or agent and has no authority to enter into contracts in our name.
  3. Joining is free.

2. Application and review

  1. Anyone who wishes to join applies in the way we specify (in version 1.0, by email to 【要記入 F17: Email address that receives partner applications】).
  2. Eligible Partners are individuals or companies who are 18 or over, agree to these Terms and can complete the procedures needed to receive payment.
  3. We review applications and decide whether to accept them. We may not explain our reasons for declining, or for revoking an acceptance later.
  4. Give accurate information (name or creator name, social accounts, country of payment, etc.) and tell us promptly if it changes.

3. Personal link and code

  1. We issue an accepted Partner one personal referral link (the same for iPhone and Android). The last part of the link is the referral code, which users may also enter in the app. The offer for referred users (such as a discount) is common to all Partners; we do not issue per-Partner discounts or codes.
  2. Only that Partner may use the link and code. Do not lend, transfer or sell them.
  3. We may suspend a link and code if these Terms are breached or fraud is suspected.

4. Rewards

  1. We set the rates, scope and period of rewards separately. The current draft (provisional) is below. 【要判断 D15: Reward rates, period, confirmation days and minimum payout stay as in the design doc for now; update the table once decided (recommended: as in the design doc)】
    • Subscriptions: 30% (12 months from the Referred User's first purchase)
    • In-depth reports (one-time purchase): 20% (purchases within the same 12 months)
  1. Rewards are calculated on revenue after store fees. Exchange rates and fees use the settings we apply at the time of calculation, so the result may differ slightly from the amount actually received from the store.
  2. Whether a user is a Referred User is decided by the referral source we have recorded. If several links or codes were used, we assign the user to one Partner under our rules.
  3. We may change the reward rates and conditions. We will give notice before a change takes effect, and it applies to purchases made after it takes effect.

5. Confirmation and cancellation of rewards

  1. A reward is confirmed once 45 days have passed since the purchase.
  2. If the purchase is refunded or revoked before confirmation (including store refunds and chargebacks), the reward for it is cancelled. If we learn of a refund or revocation after confirmation, we may deduct it from later payments.
  3. The following purchases are not eligible for rewards:
    • self-referral by the Partner or a related person (purchases made with their own link or code);
    • purchases obtained through fraud, misrepresentation or prohibited conduct;
    • purchases that came through a post without the PR disclosure required by Section 8.

6. Payment

  1. We pay a Partner in a month in which the total of confirmed rewards reaches the minimum payout (provisional: USD 50 or equivalent). Smaller amounts carry over to following months.
  2. The payment method, currency, timing and who bears transfer fees are as follows. 【要判断 D16: Payment method (PayPal, Wise, bank transfer, etc.), currency, payment dates and who bears transfer fees (recommended: close at month end and pay at the end of the next month; narrow the method to either PayPal or Wise; finalize after a person checks)】
  3. If we cannot pay because of incorrect bank or account information, we will tell the Partner. If no payment procedure is completed for 6 months, we may treat the right to claim the reward as waived (to the extent permitted by law).

7. Taxes

  1. Partners are responsible for declaring and paying taxes on rewards (income tax, consumption tax, resident tax, foreign taxes, etc.).
  2. The treatment of qualified invoices, withholding, consumption tax and Partners living abroad is as follows. 【要判断 D17: Whether qualified invoices are required, whether tax is withheld, consumption tax treatment, and treatment of Partners living abroad (recommended: decide after checking with a tax accountant or accounting staff; do not pay before that)】

8. PR disclosure

  1. Partners must put a disclosure that anyone can recognize as meaning the post is a paid advertisement (such as "#PR" or "#広告"; see the examples in the Creator Guide) where it is visible on every post, video or article that carries a referral link or code (a "Referral Post").
  2. Follow Japan's Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations (the stealth-marketing rule in force since October 2023), the FTC Endorsement Guides in the United States and the advertising rules of any other country or region where viewers are located.
  3. Purchases that came through a Referral Post without a disclosure are not eligible for rewards. If we find a post without a disclosure, we may ask for it to be corrected or removed.

9. Prohibited conduct

Partners must not:

  1. refer themselves (purchases with their own or a related person's link or code, registering with several of their own accounts, etc.);
  2. make false or exaggerated claims ("always right", "cures illness", "makes you richer" and the like, which guarantee results or claim effects). Follow "What not to say" in the Creator Guide;
  3. present Urania as if it were medical, legal, investment or other professional advice;
  4. target people under 16, or pressure minors;
  5. spam (indiscriminate mass posts, messages or comments), inflate clicks or sign-ups by automated or other unnatural means, or make fraudulent purchases to earn rewards;
  6. use brand names such as "Urania" or our name as keywords in bids for search or other advertising, or present themselves in a way that could be mistaken for the official site or app;
  7. obtain contact details of Urania users directly or collect users' personal information;
  8. impersonate others or infringe others' rights;
  9. do anything else that we reasonably judge to be contrary to the purpose of the Program.

10. Personal information

  1. We use a Partner's name, contact details, social accounts and payment information to run the Program (review, communication, payment, tax procedures and fraud prevention).
  2. We do not tell Partners the personal information of Referred Users. We only give Partners aggregated figures that do not identify anyone (clicks, installs, purchases, expected rewards, etc.).
  3. The handling of referral records follows the Urania Privacy Policy.

11. Intellectual property and materials

  1. Rights in the materials we provide (logo, screenshots, character, etc.) belong to us or the rightful owners.
  2. Partners may use the materials for the purpose of introducing Urania. They may not modify them (for example, change the character's look) or use them for unrelated purposes.
  3. Rights in posts created by the Partner belong to the Partner. We may share or quote posts (with credit) to promote Urania.

12. Term and termination

  1. These Terms apply from the day the Partner is accepted until either side ends them.
  2. A Partner may leave the Program at any time by telling us by email.
  3. We may revoke a Partner's participation by notice if the Partner breaches these Terms or if we end the Program. For serious breaches or fraud, we may revoke participation without notice and withhold unpaid rewards.
  4. After participation ends, rewards confirmed for purchases made before it ended are still paid under Sections 5 and 6.

13. Disclaimer

  1. We do not guarantee that the Program will continue, the amount of rewards or the number of Referred Users.
  2. We are not liable for disputes with third parties arising from the Partner's posts. The Partner resolves them at their own responsibility and compensates us for any loss we suffer.
  3. Except in cases of our intent or gross negligence, our liability is limited to the rewards paid to the Partner in the last 12 months. Limits not permitted by the Consumer Contract Act or other laws do not apply.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms. We will give notice to Partners by email or on our website a reasonable time before a change takes effect. A Partner who continues to post Referral Posts after it takes effect is deemed to have agreed. A Partner who does not agree may leave the Program under Section 12(2).

15. Contact

Contact about the Program is by email. Our contact is FUJII WORKS, K.K. Urania Support (admin@fworks.studio). Applications go to the address in Section 2.

16. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. The district court that has jurisdiction over our head office location is the exclusive court of first instance for any dispute between us and a Partner relating to these Terms.

Supplementary provision

  • These Terms will take effect on an effective date to be decided (draft).
