Legal Framework and Dispute Resolution

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal action or proceeding arising under these terms shall be brought exclusively in the courts of Tokyo, Japan, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

Dispute Resolution Procedures

If you have any dispute with us, we encourage you to first contact us directly to seek an informal resolution. Most concerns can be resolved quickly and amicably through direct communication.

If informal resolution isn't successful, you agree that any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the Japan Commercial Arbitration Association, conducted in Tokyo, Japan, in the English language. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding.

Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights or confidential information.

Severability Clause

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be deemed severable from these terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. The unenforceable provision shall be replaced with an enforceable provision that most closely reflects the original intent.

Terms Modification Policy

We reserve the right to modify these Terms and Conditions at any time. When we make changes, we will:

Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page

We may assign these terms to any affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets without restriction. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section is void.

Waiver

No waiver of any term of these Terms and Conditions shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term. Our failure to assert any right or provision under these terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Survival

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination of these terms shall survive, including but not limited to ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnification obligations, and limitations of liability.
