Chapter 3 Transactions

Article 14 (Formation of Contract)

The sales contract for the product is formed between the Listing Member who listed the said product and the Buyer at the time the Buyer completes the product purchase procedure.

Article 15 (Shipping and Payment)

If a sales contract is formed pursuant to the preceding Article, the Seller must ship the product to the Buyer by the specified method, except when the contract is canceled pursuant to Article 17, Paragraph 2. If customs duties, consumption tax, or other taxes for which the Buyer is obligated to pay under applicable laws, and associated customs clearance fees, etc., arise due to the shipping, the Buyer must bear these taxes and fees separately from the product price and payment system usage fee described later, unless otherwise agreed upon with the Seller.
If a sales contract is formed pursuant to the preceding Article, the Buyer must complete the payment procedure for the following product price and payment system usage fee via PayPal or other methods approved by the Company: (1) Product Price: The Listing Price of the product at the time the Buyer purchases the product shall be the amount of the Product Price. If there is consumption tax, value-added tax, or other taxes that the Buyer is obligated to pay under applicable laws and for which the Seller is the taxpayer, the amount of this Product Price shall be treated as including the said taxes. Furthermore, in the Service, the Seller grants the Company the authority to receive the Product Price, so the Buyer's obligation to pay the Product Price to the Seller is fulfilled at the time the Company receives the Product Price from the Buyer. (2) Payment System Usage Fee: The amount of the Payment System Usage Fee is calculated by multiplying the Listing Price by the rate separately determined by PayPal. If there is consumption tax, value-added tax, or other taxes that the Buyer is obligated to pay under applicable laws and for which the Company or PayPal is the taxpayer, the amount of the Payment System Usage Fee calculated by this formula shall be treated as including the said taxes.
If a dispute arises between the Buyer and a payment service provider such as a credit card company or other third party in connection with the payment of the Product Price and the Payment System Usage Fee, the Buyer shall resolve it at their own responsibility and expense, and must not cause any inconvenience or damage to the Company or other Users. Furthermore, the Company shall not be liable for any damages, losses, or expenses (including, but not limited to, direct damages, indirect damages, incidental damages, special damages, punitive damages, consequential damages, lost profits, and attorney's fees) incurred by the User due to such dispute, regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable (including contract liability, tort liability, and liability based on any other legal theory).
If the Company incurs damages, losses, or expenses (including, but not limited to, direct damages, indirect damages, incidental damages, special damages, punitive damages, consequential damages, lost profits, and attorney's fees) due to the dispute in the preceding paragraph, the said Buyer Member must compensate and indemnify the Company for these.

Article 16 (Settlement of Product Price)

If a sales contract is formed pursuant to Article 14, the Seller shall be obligated to pay an administrative fee to the Company. The Company will bill the Seller for the administrative fee, and the Seller will pay it by the method specified by the Company.
The amount of the administrative fee is calculated by multiplying the Listing Price by the rate separately determined by the Company. If there is consumption tax, value-added tax, or other taxes that the Seller is obligated to pay under applicable laws and for which the Company is the taxpayer, the amount of the administrative fee calculated by this formula shall be treated as including the said taxes.
The Company will remit the remaining amount, which is the Product Price received from the Buyer (excluding the Product Price that was once received from the Buyer and then refunded to the Buyer for some reason) minus the following expenses, to the Seller in accordance with the closing date and payment date separately determined by the Company. If currency exchange to foreign currency is necessary for the said payment and deduction, the exchange will be performed at the exchange rate separately determined by the Company. Furthermore, if there is a remaining balance of the following expenses that cannot be deducted from the Product Price received from the Buyer, the Seller must immediately pay the said remaining balance in a lump sum to the Company after receiving a claim for the said remaining balance from the Company. The Seller shall bear the bank transfer fee. (1) Money for which the Seller is obligated to pay the Company. (2) Bank transfer fee to the Seller. (3) Shipping costs if the Company bore the shipping costs of the product. (4) Money for which the Seller is obligated to pay the Buyer (including, but not limited to, the refund of all or part of the Product Price from the Seller to the Buyer). (5) Damages, losses, or expenses (including, but not limited to, direct damages, indirect damages, incidental damages, special damages, punitive damages, consequential damages, lost profits, and attorney's fees) incurred by the Company regarding the dispute between the Seller and the Buyer. (6) Other actual expenses necessary to realize the settlement between the Seller and the Company, which are reasonable for the Seller to bear. (7) Taxes, etc., that require withholding by the Company under applicable laws and regulations. (8) Other items that need to be deducted to realize the settlement between the Seller and the Company.
If the Buyer is not registered for the Service, the Buyer shall pay an additional ¥1,000 to the Company for each settlement by the method specified by the Company.
If any of the following events occur, the Company may withhold the settlement between the Seller and the Company and retain all or part of the Product Price received from the Buyer until the said event is resolved: (1) If the Seller infringes upon the rights of a third party, or there is a risk thereof. (2) If the Seller violates these Terms, or there is a risk thereof. (3) If a listing is made in violation of Article 11, Paragraph 1 or 2, or there is a risk thereof. (4) If the amount scheduled to be remitted to the Seller in the next and subsequent settlements, calculated according to the formula in Paragraph 3 of this Article, is likely to be less than the amount of expenses to be deducted from the Product Price received from the Buyer. (5) If a dispute has occurred between the Seller and the Buyer, and there is a possibility that the Seller will have to refund the Product Price, pay damages, or pay other money to the Buyer in the future. (6) If the Company has incurred or may incur damages, losses, or expenses (including, but not limited to, direct damages, indirect damages, incidental damages, special damages, punitive damages, consequential damages, lost profits, and attorney's fees) regarding the dispute between the Seller and the Buyer.

Notwithstanding Paragraph 3 of this Article, if the Company's obligation to remit the Product Price to the Seller is extinguished due to the completion of the statute of limitations or other reasons, the Company may not remit all or part of the Product Price received from the Buyer.
If the Company has a monetary claim against the Seller, the Company may offset it against the money to be remitted to the Seller based on this Article, regardless of whether the payment deadline has arrived.

Article 17 (Returns, Cancellations, etc.)

If a sales contract is formed pursuant to Article 14, the Buyer cannot cancel, return the product, exchange it for another product, etc.. Furthermore, even if the Buyer wishes to cancel, return the product, exchange it for another product, etc., the Seller and the Company are not obligated to return the Product Price and Payment System Usage Fee paid by the Buyer Member.
Even if a sales contract is formed pursuant to Article 14, the Seller may cancel the said contract without the Buyer's consent if the Seller has not yet shipped the product.
Even if a sales contract is formed pursuant to Article 14, the said contract shall be canceled if any of the following events occur: (1) If the Buyer does not pay the Product Price within the period specified by the Company.
