Article 3 (Application for Use)

1. Those who wish to use the service ("applicants") may apply to use the service by agreeing to these Terms and providing certain information ("registration information") to our company in the manner specified by our company.

2. The application must always be made by the individual or corporation intending to use the service and, in principle, applications by agents are not permitted. Moreover, applicants must provide true, accurate, and up-to-date information to our company at the time of application.

3. Our company may refuse use if the applicant under paragraph 1 is deemed by our company to be likely to breach these Terms or if the registration information provided to our company is found to be false, incomplete, or omitted. Other grounds for refusal may include prior cancellation of service usage, status as a minor, ward, person under conservatorship, or person under assistance without necessary consent, affiliation with anti-social forces, or other reasons deemed inappropriate by our company.

4. Our company will determine the eligibility of the applicant based on the criteria in the previous paragraph and other standards. If our company approves the use, it will notify the applicant. Upon such notification, the use by the applicant as a user is complete, and a contract for the use of the service according to the provisions of these Terms ("usage contract") is established between the user and our company.

5. Users must promptly notify our company of any changes to their registration information and submit any documents requested by our company.



Article 4 (Use of the Service and Minimum Usage Period)

1. Users may use the service during the effective period of the usage contract in accordance with these Terms and the methods set by our company.

2. The minimum usage period shall be 6 months or 12 months, calculated from the date of the first billing or the start date of service provision after plan changes (the duration differs depending on the plan, so please check the periods listed on the site before using the service). The usage contract is automatically renewed on the expiration date unless terminated according to Article 20.

3. Our company offers a free cancellation period of up to 14 days, without crossing 11 days from the contract date, during which users can cancel their contract at any time. However, if you upgrade your plan or after the free cancellation period, you will be subject to the minimum usage period as per the contract plan.



Article 5 (Fees and Payment Methods)

1. Users shall pay the service fees calculated according to the rate system specified separately on our website, using the designated credit card. Users are responsible for any costs necessary for the payment.

2. The settlement of the usage fee in the initial month of the application will be made within 3 days from the application date if the credit card information registered is correct. There will be no prorated charges for the first month; payment is required according to the full monthly fee specified on our website regardless of the number of days used.

3. Charges for the service are invoiced once on the application date and subsequently on the 11th of each month. Therefore, if you apply on the 9th, you will also be charged on the 11th of every month. At the time of cancellation, billing occurs on the monthly renewal date post contract expiration, ensuring that service is provided until the 11th of the following month after the cancellation month, minimizing any disadvantage to the customer.

4. Our company offers a satisfaction-based usage, allowing cancellations during a freely designated period of 14 days, starting from the application date, without crossing 11 days. During this period, a minimal charge of $0.1 for activation (approximately 14 cents, which will later be refunded to the designated credit card) is applied. After this period, it automatically shifts to the respective plan fees and minimum usage period.

5. After the minimum usage period, cancellations can be requested anytime between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM daily via the management screen, without any cancellation fee.

6. Payments are made through the designated credit card on the monthly billing date. For the initial month of the application, payment occurs once within 3 days from the application date, which is not limited to the monthly schedule.

7. Monthly fees are treated as prepaid, and service provision is suspended if payment cannot be confirmed. Service will resume once payment is confirmed. However, no prorated fees are calculated for the period of service suspension; the full fee is charged regardless of the number of days used.

8. If payment is not resumed over a period of one month, our company will cancel the user's service.

9. In cases of non-payment of service fees, a late fee of 3% per annum may be applied. Additionally, if payment is overdue for two months or more, the overdue amount will accumulate due to server management and administrative operations.

10. Payments in Japanese Yen (¥) are available, with different fees depending on the plan and duration. For example, the MEO BASIC PLAN requires a 12-month contract (¥19,880 x 12 months = ¥238,560), the IG GOLD PLAN is a 6-month contract (¥42,000 x 6 months = ¥252,000), and the IG + MEO PLAN is also a 6-month contract (¥69,800 x 6 months = ¥418,800). Exchange fees vary by credit card company and are the user's responsibility.

11. If opting for payment in USD ($), settlement in USD is possible with the respective plan fees and duration applying. For instance, the MEO BASIC PLAN involves a 12-month contract (USD 134 x 12 months = $1,608), the MEO GOLD PLAN a 6-month contract (USD 282 x 6 months = $1,692), and the IG + MEO PLAN also a 6-month contract ($469 x 6 months = $2,814). Exchange fees vary by credit card company and are the user's responsibility.

12. Due to the use of multi-currency settlements, there may be automatic changes from Japanese Yen to US Dollars. If the exchange rate increases the price in a given month from the agreed price at the time of application, the company can refund the difference through the credit card company. However, if the price decreases due to exchange rate fluctuations, the agreed price at the time of application will still be charged.



Article 6 (Refund Policy After Payment)

1. Due to the nature of the service, any refunds after payment are strictly non-acceptable, and users agree to this condition.

2. Billing for the service fee occurs immediately from the application date (date of service request), and users agree that billing is not dependent on the start of the service.

3. Due to the nature of the product, no refunds, returns, or cancellations are accepted. Additionally, since the service involves customer acquisition for stores and business premises and is clearly intended for business use, it does not qualify for cooling-off periods typically available for consumer contracts. This non-applicability is because at the time of application, investments such as the purchase of management terminals, staffing, server setup, and the provision of call centers and other support services have already been made.



Article 7 (Prohibited Actions)

Users must not engage in any of the following acts when using the service:
