====Restrictions:====

====''Restrictions:''====

</blockquote>Miku has many restrictions it places on customers upon agreement to their terms of service, Miku's ToS begins in this section by stating:

"You represent, warrant, and agree that you will not contribute any Content or User Submission (each of those terms is defined below) or otherwise use the Services or interact with the Services in a manner that:"

following this, many restrictions are put in place, of those, these are the ones that violate consumer rights:

*Decompiles, reverse engineers, or otherwise attempts to obtain the source code or underlying ideas or information of, or relating to, the Services;

*Jeopardizes the security of your Miku account or anyone else’s (such as allowing someone else to log in to the Services as you);

*Builds a competitive product or service using the Services, or builds a product or service using similar ideas, features, functions, or graphics as the Services or determines whether the Services are within the scope of any patent;

As can be seen from the ToS, if Miku were to stop providing access to Miku care+ services or general infrastructure. Independent developers would not be able to create or otherwise "revive" the use of these services through creating an open-source replacement or plug-in for Miku devices without violating their terms of service.

====''Reservations:''====

Miku reserves the right to remove, edit, or modify any content at their sole discretion, at any time, without notice to the customer including but not limited to the following reasons:

* No reason at all

* Allegations from third parties or authorities concerning the content

* to remove or block any content from the services.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Miku ToS section "What are my rights in Miku?" |url=https://mikucare.com/pages/terms-of-service#toc6 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250722045420/https://mikucare.com/pages/terms-of-service#toc6 |archive-date=22 Jul 2025 |access-date=16 Aug 2025 |website=Miku ToS section "What are my rights in Miku?"}}</ref>
