If Seller fails, at any time during the term of an Agreement, to insist upon strict performance of any of Customer obligations under the agreement or any of these terms and conditions, or if Seller fails to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the Agreement, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve Customer from compliance with such obligations. A waiver by us of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default. No waiver by Seller of any of these terms and conditions shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to Customer in writing.

 

22.- SEVERABILITY

If any of these terms and conditions or any provisions of an Agreement are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

23.- ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These terms and conditions and any document expressly referred to in them represent the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the subject matter of any Agreement and supersede any prior agreement, understanding or arrangement between the parties, whether oral or in writing. Both parties acknowledge that, in entering into an Agreement, neither party has relied on any representation, undertaking or promise given by the other or be implied from anything said or written in negotiations between the parties prior to such Agreement except as expressly stated in these terms and conditions. Neither party shall have any remedy in respect of any untrue statement made by the other, whether orally or in writing, prior to the date of any Agreement (unless such untrue statement was made fraudulently) and the other party´s only remedy shall be for breach of Agreement as provided in these terms and conditions.

 

24.- OUR RIGHT TO VARY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Seller has the right to revise and amend these terms and conditions from time to time to reflect changes in market conditions affecting our business, changes in technology, changes in payment methods, changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and changes in our system's capabilities. Customer will be subject to the policies and terms and conditions in force at the time that Customer order Products from Seller, unless any change to those policies or these terms and conditions is required to be made by law or governmental authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by Customer), or if Seller notifies Customer of the change to those policies or these terms and conditions before Seller sends Customer the Order Confirmation (in which case we have the right to assume that Customer have accepted the change to the terms and conditions, unless Customer notify us to the contrary within seven working days of receipt by Customer of the Products).

 

25.- MISCELLANEOUS

Any Orders which have been accepted by Seller, but which have not been fulfilled by Seller, will not be binding on successors of Seller and shall be cancellable on reasonable notice to Customer with return of any deposit payments received. Subject to the restrictions in assignment contained herein, these terms and conditions will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns. The relationship between Seller and Customer is that of independent contractors and not that of employer/employee, partnership or joint venture.

 

26.- NOTICES

Notices provided under this Agreement will be given in writing and deemed received upon the earlier of actual receipt or three (3) days after mailing if mailed postage prepaid by regular mail or airmail or one (1) day after such notice is sent by courier or e-mail transmission. Any delay or failure by either party to exercise any right or remedy will not constitute a waiver of that party to thereafter enforce such rights.

 

In proving the service of any notice, it will be sufficient to prove, in the case of a letter, that such letter was properly addressed, stamped and placed in the post and, in the case of an e-mail, that such e-mail was sent to the specified e-mail address of the addressee.

 

27.- WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS

Applicable laws require that some of the information or communications Seller sends to Customer should be in writing. When using the site, Customer accept that communication with Seller will be mainly by e-mail. Seller will contact Customer by e-mail or provide Customer with information by posting notices on the site. For contractual purposes, Customer acknowledge that all notices, information and other communications that Seller provides to Customer by e-mail comply with any legal requirement, and this condition does not affect Customer statutory rights.

 

28.- PERSONAL INFORMATION

It is obligatory to provide personal information (identity, username, password, e-mail address, telephone number, billing address, delivery address, payment methods, etc.) collected in the context of remote sales, as this information is necessary for processing, order delivery, as well as for drawing up invoices. Failing to provide this information shall lead to the automatic rejection of the order. The information can be transmitted to partners, particularly the commercial partners of Seller, acting on its behalf (intermediaries for order payments, couriers, delivery companies, etc.).
This information and data are also saved, for the purposes of security, in order to comply with the legal and regulatory requirements, to improve and personalise the proposed services and the information addressed to the Customer. This information is strictly confidential.

Depending on the choices made by the Customer when creating or consulting their account, the Customer will be proposed several options, notably those allowing them to receive newsletters or offers from Seller, or to authorise the transfer of this data to the Seller’s partners.

 

29.- INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The intellectual property rights attached to the items sold on the site are and remain the exclusive property of Seller. All the usage rights are exclusively reserved. Under these conditions, no person has the authority to reproduce, use, distribute or employ, for any reason whatever, even partially, the intellectual property rights, without the express advanced written approval of Seller. The brands and logos of Seller are trademarks, any reproduction thereby constitutes a forgery.

 

30.- RETENTION OF OWNERSHIP

The Products ordered remain the property of Seller, until the price is paid in full.
On the other hand, on the actual date of delivery, the risks (particularly risk of loss, theft or spoilage) affecting the delivered Products fall under the responsibility of the Customer.

 

31.- COMPLIANCE

Customer agree to comply with the above stated terms and conditions. Should Customer break these terms, or incur liabilities as a consequence of using this site, Customer will be responsible for the costs and expenses that we incur as a result of such breach including reasonable legal fees (if applicable). Customer will remain liable if someone else uses your account or personal information unless Customer can prove such use was fraudulent.

 

32.- SELLER LIABILITY

Seller warrants to Customer that any Product purchased from Seller through the site, in store sales and through other distribution and marketing channels will perform in accordance with its specifications, subject to fair wear and tear and to the Product being used in accordance with the Operating Guide, for a period of one year from the delivery date. The warranty covers free replacement of any defective parts in order to restore product function or, at our option, a replacement of the whole Product if Seller does not believe that it can be repaired by replacement of parts. Seller is not liable when: (i) incorrect handling has occurred by unauthorized personnel; (ii) use of the equipment has occurred in any way that does not comply with the instructions provided by Seller. The users should use the equipment purchased only after reading the manual and under their own exclusive responsibility, using the Products correctly in strict observance of the safety regulations.  Seller warrants that any Service provided to Customer will be performed with all reasonable skill and care and in accordance with applicable law. Seller liability for losses that Customer can suffer as a result of Seller breaking this Agreement is strictly limited to the purchase price of the Product or Service Customer purchased. This does not include or limit in any way our liability: (a) for death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) for any matter for which it would be illegal for us to exclude, or attempt to exclude, Seller liability. Seller is not responsible for indirect losses which happen as a side effect of the main loss or damage (such as loss of income or revenue, loss of business, loss of profits or Contracts, loss of anticipated savings, loss of data, waste of management or office time) however arising and whether caused by tort (including negligence), breach of Agreement or otherwise, even if foreseeable.

 

33.- ARBITRATION

Any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in agreement, tort or otherwise, whether preexisting, present or future, and including, but not limited to, statutory, common law, intentional tort and equitable claims) arising from or relating to: (i) the Products; (ii) the services; (iii) the interpretation or application of these terms and conditions; (iv) any Order; (v) the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result from these terms and conditions (including, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, relationships with third parties who are not signatories hereto), or Seller's advertising or marketing (collectively, a "Claim") WILL BE RESOLVED, UPON THE ELECTION OF ANY OF SELLER, CUSTOMER OR THE THIRD PARTIES INVOLVED, EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION. If arbitration is chosen by any party with respect to a Claim, neither Seller nor Customer will have the right to litigate that Claim in court or to have a jury trial on that Claim or to engage in pre-arbitration discovery, except as provided for in the applicable arbitration rules or by Agreement of the parties involved. Further, Customer will not have the right to participate as a representative or member of any class of claimants pertaining to any Claim. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s). Each party involved will bear its own cost of any legal representation, discovery or research required to complete arbitration. The existence or results of any arbitration will be treated as confidential. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all matters pertaining to the collection of amounts due to Seller arising out of the Products or services will be exclusively litigated in court rather than through arbitration.

 

34.- LAW AND JURISDICTION

These terms and conditions of sale and the contractual relationships between the parties are governed by Japanese law and in the event of any dispute or claim associated with these terms and conditions, that dispute or claim shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Japanese courts.
