  3. We are under no obligation to back up, recover or restore data in the Apps.

  4. Acts that violate laws or public order and morals.

If a user incurs damages, including loss or corruption of data, due to a defect in the Apps or any other cause attributable to us, we will be liable for compensation within the scope of direct and actual damages that would ordinarily arise. However, except in cases of our willful misconduct or gross negligence, the total amount of compensation shall not exceed the total consideration paid by the user in connection with the App during the one year preceding the occurrence of the damages (or 1,000 Japanese yen if no payment has been made).
