Terms & Conditions

1. Application of these terms

[PLACEHOLDER — REQUIRES LEGAL REVIEW]

2. Definitions

[PLACEHOLDER]

3. Account registration

[PLACEHOLDER] Editor: confirm whether accounts are required or guest checkout is permitted.

4. Orders and formation of contract

[PLACEHOLDER — REQUIRES LEGAL REVIEW]

Editor: state the exact point at which a contract is formed — order placement, or order confirmation. This determines when you may cancel an order and matters if a price is published in error.

5. Pricing and payment

[PLACEHOLDER] Editor: prices must be displayed tax-inclusive (総額表示).

6. Delivery

[PLACEHOLDER] Editor: cross-reference the Shipping Policy.

7. Cancellation and returns

[PLACEHOLDER] Editor: cross-reference Returns & Refunds and 特定商取引法. All three must agree.

8. Prohibited conduct

[PLACEHOLDER]

9. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

[PLACEHOLDER — REQUIRES LEGAL REVIEW]

Editor: under Japan's Consumer Contract Act, clauses that fully exclude liability toward consumers are void. A limitation clause copied from a US or UK template will very likely be unenforceable here.

10. Intellectual property

[PLACEHOLDER]

11. Changes to these terms

[PLACEHOLDER]

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

[PLACEHOLDER — REQUIRES LEGAL REVIEW]

Editor: for a Japanese consumer-facing store, this is normally Japanese law with a designated Japanese court. Specifying Sri Lankan law and courts against Japanese consumers would likely be unenforceable and would read badly. Raise with counsel.


Status: REQUIRES LEGAL REVIEW. Structural skeleton only.
