Terms of Service

Article 1. Scope and agreement

These Terms of Service govern use between the provider of GLINE (including the in-app name “G-LINE”; the “App”), referred to as the “Operator,” and its users. Please review these terms when using the App. The terms of each provider also apply to the App Store, Google Play, Google accounts, Gmail and other external services.

If Apple's distribution terms make its standard licence agreement applicable, please also review Apple's standard EULA. This App does not represent an official app, endorsement or guarantee from Google, Apple or other such providers.

Article 2. About the app

The App connects to Gmail accounts authorized by the user and displays email in chat form. Features include sending and receiving, read status, labels, important markers, trash and spam management, templates and contacts. Plus provides an increased account limit, removal of ads, additional backgrounds, notifications and scheduled sending. Check the App for the current feature scope.

Email actions in the App also update Gmail. Gmail messages and labels are stored separately from contacts and background images saved on your device. Details are explained in our Privacy Policy.

Article 3. Connections and user responsibilities

Connect only Google accounts you are authorized to use and review access scopes on Google's authorization screen. Users are responsible for safely managing their accounts, devices and network environment. Where necessary, obtain a legal guardian's consent for use by minors or paid contracts.

Do not enter Google passwords, verification codes, card numbers or other confidential credentials in support fields. When adding contacts or selecting backgrounds, consider your rights to use that information or image and the privacy of third parties.

Article 4. Email, notifications and scheduled sending

• Check the recipient, message, attachments, sending account and scheduled time before sending. An email may not be cancellable once sending has started.
• Conversation-level actions may affect multiple related emails. Check the targets of moves to trash, restoration and permanent deletion. The App cannot restore permanently deleted emails.
• Notifications and scheduled sending are supporting features. Network conditions, device permissions, power-saving settings, external services or server status may delay or prevent notifications, synchronization or sending.
• Contacts and added backgrounds saved on your device are not synced to other devices by GLINE. They may be lost if you delete the App or change devices.

Article 5. Free use and GLINE Plus

We offer a free plan and “GLINE Plus,” a paid auto-renewing subscription. Prices, currencies, billing periods, included features and purchase or renewal conditions follow the in-app purchase screen and the store you use. Review these conditions before completing a purchase.

Payments are processed by the store used for purchase. Cancellation, renewal, refunds, billing and purchase restoration follow each store's procedures. Deleting the App, disconnecting Google or deleting a GLINE account does not cancel a subscription.

Plus benefits apply while an active purchase can be verified. After expiry, free-plan limits apply and ads or basic backgrounds may reappear. If verification or store problems delay entitlement updates, try restoring purchases or contact us.

Article 6. Advertising and external links

The free plan displays an advertising area. It may show the Operator's notices or third-party ads and affiliate links. Advertising is identified as such. This area is hidden while Plus entitlement is active.

Gmail information is not used to select or deliver ads or supplied to advertisers. Review the external provider's information for terms, payments and data handling at linked destinations.

Article 7. Prohibited conduct and rights

Unauthorized access, use of others' accounts without permission, spam or illegal messages, excessive system load, fraudulent acquisition of entitlements and violations of law or third-party rights are prohibited. Where there are reasonable grounds to find misuse, access may be limited to the extent necessary.

Rights to the App's code, design, text and logos belong to the Operator or lawful rights holders. Rights to users' emails and images remain with their respective rights holders and are not transferred to the Operator by using the App.

Article 8. Changes, interruptions and termination

The Operator may change, interrupt or terminate services for maintenance, incident response, security, legal requirements or changes to external services. Except in emergencies, we aim to announce important changes in advance in the App or on this website. Changes to these terms will be appropriately announced with their effective date and follow legally required procedures.

Article 9. Scope of liability

The App depends on network and external services, so continuous correct synchronization, sending, receiving, notifications and data retention are not guaranteed. Check important emails or data in Gmail or other services when needed.

The Operator is liable to the extent required by law. These terms do not exclude or limit liability for intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or where exclusion or limitation is not permitted under Japan's Consumer Contract Act or other applicable law.

Article 10. Account deletion and information

Request deletion through account deletion in the App's settings or follow our account deletion guide. Deleting GLINE does not delete your Google account or Gmail messages. Information retention and deletion follow the Privacy Policy.

Article 11. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by Japanese law. Disputes are resolved under applicable legal provisions. For questions about use, the App or these terms, contact the GLINE Operator at gline.app.support@gmail.com .
