Terms of service

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) set out the conditions for using the online shop (the “Service”) provided on this website by INS Co., Ltd. (the “Company”). Users of the Service (“Users”) agree to use the Service in accordance with these Terms.

Article 1 (Application)
These Terms apply to all matters relating to the use of the Service between Users and the Company, including browsing this site and purchasing the products listed on it, regardless of whether the User is a registered member.
The Company may establish additional rules and provisions regarding the Service (“Individual Provisions”). Regardless of their title, such Individual Provisions form part of these Terms.
If any provision of these Terms conflicts with an Individual Provision, the Individual Provision prevails unless it states otherwise.

Article 2 (Use of the Service)
Registration for the Service is complete when a prospective member agrees to these Terms, applies for registration by the method specified by the Company, and the Company notifies the applicant of its approval.
The Company may decline an application for registration if it determines that any of the following applies to the applicant, and is under no obligation to disclose its reasons:
The applicant provided false information in the application
The applicant has previously violated these Terms
The Company otherwise determines that registration is inappropriate

Article 3 (Management of user IDs and passwords)
Users are responsible for managing their own user ID and password for the Service.
Users must contact the Company immediately if they discover that their email address or password is being used fraudulently by a third party.
Users may not under any circumstances transfer, lend, or share their user ID and password with a third party. When a login is made with a user ID and password combination that matches the registered information, the Company will treat it as use by the User who registered that ID.
The Company accepts no liability for damages arising from the use of a user ID and password by a third party, except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Company.

Article 4 (Sales contract)
On the Service, a sales contract is formed when a User submits a purchase order to the Company and the Company notifies the User that it has accepted the order. Ownership of the product transfers to the User when the Company hands the product over to the carrier.
