It is a disclosure required of sellers under Japanese law; the Japanese text is the governing version.

| App page | https://www.searedbonito.com/bonito-scan/ |
| Product name | Bonito Scan Pro (yearly plan) An auto-renewing subscription, and the only item sold. |
| What it includes | While subscribed, all features of the App can be used, including scanning new documents, importing from photos and files, and editing pages. Without a subscription, viewing, searching, sharing and exporting documents already created remain free, with no time limit. |
| Free period | All features can be used free of charge for 30 days from the day the App is first obtained. No sign-up or payment details are required. The free period is not an App Store free trial: nothing is charged automatically when it ends, and a subscription starts only if the customer completes a purchase. Deleting and reinstalling the App does not start the free period again. |
| Price | US$7.00 per year on the U.S. App Store. In Japan and other countries and regions, the price (including how consumption tax or other taxes are shown) is the one displayed on the App Store of that country or region. The price that applies is the amount displayed on the App's purchase screen and on the App Store before purchase. Prices follow the App Store's regional pricing, so the amount shown at the time of purchase applies. |
| Additional costs | Any data and internet connection charges incurred in using the App are borne by the customer. The Studio charges nothing beyond the subscription price. |
| Means of payment | The payment methods of the App Store operated by Apple Inc. (a card registered to the Apple Account, carrier billing, Apple Gift Card and the like). Payment is processed by Apple Inc.; the Studio does not receive card numbers or other payment credentials. |
| Time of payment | When the subscription starts (upon completion of the purchase) and at each renewal. Renewal charges are billed by Apple Inc., in accordance with its terms, within the 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. |
| Time of provision | The subscription's features become available immediately upon completion of the purchase. |
| Term and automatic renewal | One year. The subscription renews automatically for one year at a time unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. |
| How to cancel | Cancel at any time (turn off automatic renewal) in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions on the iPhone or iPad. Cancelling stops future renewals; the subscription remains available until the end of the period already paid for. Cancelling does not by itself refund any amount already paid (for refunds, see "Returns and cancellation"). The Studio cannot cancel a subscription on the customer's behalf, so please use the method above. |
| Returns and cancellation | Given the nature of digital content, returns and cancellations after completion of the purchase cannot be accepted where the reason lies with the customer. Requests to cancel a purchase or obtain a refund are made through the procedure operated by Apple Inc. (reportaproblem.apple.com), and the outcome is determined by Apple Inc. |
| If the App is defective | Where a defect prevents a feature from working as described, please contact the address below. The Studio will repair the defect, provide guidance on obtaining a refund, or otherwise respond as required. |
| System requirements | iPhone with iOS 18.0 or later, and iPad with iPadOS 18.0 or later. The App, and the features of the subscription, cannot be used on a device that does not meet these requirements. Please check before purchasing. |
| Use on several devices | Available on all devices signed in with the same Apple Account; on another device, use Restore Purchases in the App. The subscription supports Family Sharing: where the purchaser has turned on Family Sharing, members of the family group can also use it at no extra charge. |
| Contact | support@searedbonito.com Email is received at all times; the Studio ordinarily replies within three business days. |
