OCHA DAYS Terms of Use

Last updated: September 28, 2026

These terms set out the conditions for using OCHA DAYS (the “App”), an iPhone app provided by us. By using the App, you are deemed to have agreed to these terms.

Article 1. About the App

The App is for logging the tea you drink (Japanese, Chinese, and Taiwanese tea) and learning about it. It can be used without creating an account.

Article 2. Tea information

Articles, quizzes, origin descriptions, the Ocha Profile quiz, and suggested origins are provided as general guides. Actual flavor and aroma vary with the leaves, the cultivar, how the tea is brewed, the water temperature, how you are feeling, and other factors. The information in the App does not recommend any particular product or shop, and it is not health or medical advice.

Article 3. Paid plan (OCHA DAYS Premium)

1. OCHA DAYS Premium (“Premium”) is an auto-renewable subscription. There are two plans: monthly and yearly. Prices are shown on the App Store screen at the time of purchase.
2. With Premium, ads are no longer shown; you can add brewing method, shop, tea type, cultivar, and 15 flavor tags to your entries; you can collect tea type, cultivar, and brewing collections in your Passport; you can turn monthly reports into images; and in Tea Break you can use forest, campfire, and wave sounds in addition to rain. All articles are free to read regardless of plan.
3. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
4. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Renewal is charged within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
5. For 7 days from the day you first use the App, all features are open. No sign-up is required during this period, and there is no charge. It does not switch to a paid plan automatically. Ads are still shown during this period.
6. After 7 days, detailed logging, Tea Break sounds, monthly reports, and Passport collections will not open until you subscribe. You can keep logging cups for free. Your entries and photos remain on your device, are not deleted, and can still be read. Articles, quizzes, and the reading material on origins and drinks also remain readable. If you subscribe, you can continue right where you left off. Even after 7 days, you can still export your entries and restore purchases.
7. Neither the monthly plan nor the yearly plan includes a free trial period. Charges begin when you subscribe.
8. You can cancel and check your next renewal date in iPhone Settings > your name > Subscriptions. If you are using Premium, you can also open the same screen from “Manage Subscription” in the App’s Settings.
9. Payments and refunds are subject to Apple’s terms. Please request refunds from Apple. We cannot process refunds.
10. After changing devices or reinstalling, you can restore Premium with “Restore Purchases” in the App. You must be signed in with the same Apple ID you used for the purchase.

Article 4. After canceling

Your entries saved on your device remain after you cancel. Items that can only be entered with Premium (brewing method, shop, flavor tags) are still shown in entry details after you cancel. Premium is required to enter these items in new entries.

Article 5. Data management

1. Your entries and photos are stored only on your iPhone. We do not hold your data and cannot recover it.
2. There is no iCloud sync. To prepare for a device change or the unexpected, please export your data in JSON format from Settings and keep it safe.
3. We are not liable for data lost due to device failure, loss, deletion of the App, or similar events.

While you use the App for free, ads are shown at the bottom of the Learn, Explore, and Journal screens. The content of ads is determined by the ad providers, and we do not guarantee it. Any dealings at a destination reached through an ad are between you and that other party.
