1. Scope of Application

The Terms of Use shall apply to all persons and entities who use the System (hereinafter referred to collectively as "Users", and individually as "User").

2. Registration

1. 2.1Those who wish to use the System shall agree to abide by the Terms of Use and register certain information as determined by us in the manner prescribed by us.
2. 2.2Users must register true, accurate and up-to-date information.
3. 2.3
   We reserve the rights to refuse the use of the System by a User if We determine that the User falls under any of the following:

   1. (1)When We reasonably judge that there is a possibility of violation of these Terms of Use;
   2. (2)If there is any falsehood, error, or omission in all or part of the information registered in the System;
   3. (3)If it is found that the person has been previously refused to use the System;
   4. (4)The person is a minor, an adult ward, a person under curatorship, or a person under assistance, and has not obtained the consent of a legal representative, guardian, curator, or assistant;
   5. (5)If the User is an anti-social force (meaning a crime syndicate, a member of a crime syndicate, a person for whom five years have not passed since he/she ceased to be a member of a crime syndicate, a right-wing organization, a quasi-member of a crime syndicate, an extortionist, a social movement advocacy group, a special intelligence group or any other similar group) or if We reasonably determine that the person is a person who has been involved in the maintenance, operation, or management of antisocial forces, through the provision of funds or otherwise, or is involved in some other form of interaction or involvement with antisocial forces;
   6. (6)In the event that a User cancels a reservation at a Restaurant (as defined in Article 3) without prior notice (hereinafter specifically referred to as "unauthorized cancellation") or cancels immediately before the reserved time, makes two or more reservations for the same time slot, makes a reservation for a Restaurant without the intention of using it, sells or provides a third party with a reservation slot for a Restaurant obtained through the System, or does any other similar act; or
   7. (7)In any other cases where We reasonably determine that the User's use of the System is not appropriate.

3. Relationships with Restaurants

1. 3.1In the event that a restaurant, etc. registered the System (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Restaurants", and individually as "Restaurant") has any regulations (cancellation policy or any other regulations by whatever name) regarding reservations, the User shall make a reservation at the Restaurant, etc. upon agreeing to such regulations. All transactions and negotiations with restaurants registered in the System shall be conducted between the User and the Restaurant. We assume no responsibility for the relationship between Users and Restaurants, including reservations, cancellation of reservations, changes to reservations, and payment, except in the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence on us.
2. 3.2If a User wishes to cancel or change a reservation after making a formal reservation through the System, the User shall cancel or change the reservation through the System or by directly contacting the Restaurant concerned. In such cases, the User may be charged a cancellation fee or change fee by the Restaurant in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Restaurant. The User shall pay such cancellation or change fees to the Restaurant. With respect to reservations made through the "Cancellation Protection" service provided by us, the cancellation fee or change fee will be settled by the credit card registered by the User at the time of reservation and will be paid to the Restaurant through the payment service provided by Stripe Japan KK or its affiliates (hereinafter referred to as "Stripe Service"). For the avoidance of doubt, even if the User registers a credit card at the time of reservation, at that time, only a line of credit is secured for the payment of cancellation or change fees, etc., and no payment is made. If no cancellation or change fees are incurred, such as when the User visits the Restaurant, the credit line will be released approximately seven (7) days after the date of such visit. However, if a debit card is registered, the amount equivalent to the cancellation or change fee may be debited immediately after registration, but will be refunded a few days to a few weeks later. In addition, the User shall agree in advance that the service named "Cancellation Protection" is provided through the Stripe Service, that the conditions for refunds of cancellation and change fees and other conditions for settlement of cancellation and change fees are subject to the provisions of the Stripe Service, and that We shall not be liable for any delay in payment or refund of cancellation or change fees, etc., except in the case of our willful misconduct or gross negligence.
3. 3.3The deadline for canceling or changing a reservation through the System varies depending on the Restaurants. After the deadline, the User shall notify the Restaurant, directly of the cancellation or change. Any other conditions regarding cancellation or change, including the amount or calculation method of the cancellation fee or change of reservation fee, shall be in accordance with the rules and regulations of the relevant Restaurant.
4. 3.4
   When using the System, Users should be aware of the following points as such:

   1. (1)The availability of seats, course prices, and other information on the System may differ from the information provided elsewhere by the Restaurant;
   2. (2)The Restaurant may change the course price or other information in the System. In this case, the changed price will be applied only to those who have made a reservation after the change, and the price at the time of reservation will be applied to those who have already made a reservation;
   3. (3)The information provided by the System regarding Restaurants is the direct responsibility of the Restaurants that register with the System, and We do not guarantee the truthfulness, currency, certainty, or any other aspect of the information provided, nor do We assume any responsibility for it, except in the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence on us;
   4. (4)We do not guarantee the safety, quality, accuracy, reliability, integrity, legality, or otherwise of the food and beverage services provided by the Restaurants, and, except in the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence on us, We are not responsible for any of these; or
   5. (5)If We reasonably determine that there is any irregularity in the registration of contact information by the User, or if We reasonably determine that the User is otherwise in violation of the Terms of Use, We may, upon the request of the Restaurant, void the reservation of such User.
