the purchase price, will ship purchased products to the delivery address
provided by the Visitor (the "Service"). The following terms and conditions
govern the use of the Shop and its Services (the "Terms"). Any Visitor who
wishes to place orders with the Shop is asked to carefully read and accept the Terms
beforehand.
AGE OF CONSENT
By placing an order at Kanojo Toys,
you declare that you are of the appropriate legal age to purchase the
items. If we discover that you are not legally entitled to order
certain goods, we will not be obliged to complete the order.
ARTICLE 1 PERSONAL INFORMATION
The Shop respects the Visitor's
privacy. The Shop may use a Visitor's personal information, as defined in Japan's
Act on the Protection of Personal Information, that distinguishes and
identifies the Visitor (the "Personal Information") and transaction
information (including the Visitor's purchasing history information) obtained
through the Service for the purpose of providing the Service. Unless otherwise
permitted by law, the Shop will not disclose or furnish any Personal
Information or transaction information to third parties without the prior
consent of the Visitor. For more information, please see the
Shop's Privacy Policy.
ARTICLE 2 SHOPPING CART, CREATING AN ACCOUNT
1. Every first time Visitor to our Shop will be given a temporary shopping
cart (the "Visitor's Cart"). This allows the Visitor to temporarily store
products the Visitor wishes to purchase in the Visitor's Cart. If the Visitor
leaves the Shop before creating an Account (defined in Clause 2 below) and
being assigned a Member's Cart (defined in Clause 3 below), the contents of the
Visitor's Cart will be emptied.
2. Visitor's may
create an account by entering and submitting the required account information
to the Shop (the "Account"). By creating an Account the Visitor will be able to
shop faster, monitor the order status and keep track of previous purchases.
3. Every
Visitor that has created an Account with the Shop is given a permanent shopping
cart (the "Member's Cart"). This allows the Visitor to store products the
Visitor wishes to purchase in the Member's Cart and return to the Shop at a
later time or date to finalize the purchase. All products will remain in the
Member's Cart until the Visitor has either purchased the products or has removed
the products by deleting them from the Member's Cart.
4. If a Visitor
adds products to the Visitor's Cart and then decides to sign in to the Shop by
creating an Account, the contents of the Visitor's Cart will automatically merge
with the Member's Cart.
ARTICLE 3 CHARACTERISTICS OF PRODUCTS
Most of the products
sold in the Shop are made for the Japanese market and may not conform to the
standards in the country of delivery. Unless otherwise specified, all instruction
manuals that accompany the products and packaging, including any displays on
the products, are in Japanese. Also, unless otherwise specified, all electronics
comply with the Japanese electrical standard of 100V.
ARTICLE 4 RETAIL PRICES AND OTHER COSTS
1. The retail price and other
costs for each product are shown in USD ($) or EUR (€) or JPY (¥). The retail price
for each product is the price that the Customer is obligated to pay when the Customer
sends the Shop a purchase order (the "Order"). The Customer must also pay all
associated shipping costs to ship the product from the Shop's storage facility
in Japan to the Customer's delivery address. The final purchase price, which includes
shipping costs, is displayed in the shopping cart after the Customer clicks
"Checkout".
2. Depending on the law in the
country of delivery the products purchased by the Customer may be subject to
tax or import duty. The Shop is
not responsible for paying any such tax or import duty and is unable to define
or pre-collect any such taxes or duties. If the Customer has any questions
regarding the applicability of tax or import duty on any purchase from the
Shop, the Customer should contact the appropriate local customs office before
placing an order. The Shop will not declare that any purchased products are a
gift or have a lower value than the retail price.
ARTICLE 5 ORDER PLACEMENT METHOD
1. Prior to placing an Order for
a product, the Customer will be required to enter certain required information
on the Shop's designated web pages and submit such information over the
Internet to the Shop. Orders may be placed 24 hours a day.
2. As part of the
process of placing an Order, the Customer will be required to confirm the Order
on the Shop's order confirmation webpage (the "Confirmation Page").
On the Confirmation Page the Customer will be asked to review and confirm the Customer's
name, delivery address, shipping method, billing address, payment method,
product details and price. The Customer will be able to correct any mistakes or
edit choices on the Confirmation Page prior to clicking the "Confirm Order"
button. Once the Customer clicks
the "Confirm Order" button the Order is transmitted to the Shop, which creates
a binding offer by the Customer to purchase the product (the "Order
Confirmation").
3. After the Order Confirmation
process is complete, Customers wishing to pay by credit card or PayPal (where offered) will be
directed to the secure webpage of the Shop's payment provider and asked to
enter their name, address, credit card details and e-mail address. Customers wishing
to pay by bank/wire transfer will not need to follow this procedure and may
simply close the browser or return to the Shop.
ARTICLE 6 SALE
AND PURCHASE CONTRACT
The sale and purchase contract between the Customer and the Shop (the
"Contract") becomes effective when the Customer receives the Order Acceptance
E-mail (defined in the Article 7 below).
ARTICLE 7 ORDER ACCEPTANCE E-MAIL
1. After receiving the Order,
the Shop will automatically send an order acceptance e-mail (the "Order Acceptance
E-mail") to the Customer. The Order Acceptance E-mail constitutes an
acceptance of the Customer's offer to purchase the product, described in
Article 5, Clause 2 above, by the Shop and thereby constitutes the formation of
the Contract.
2. If the Customer does not
receive an Order Acceptance E-mail within 48 hours after placing an Order, the
Order may not have been received by the Shop. In this case, the Shop requests
that the Customer resubmit the Order. When resubmitting the Order the Customer
should type "Resending" in the comment box in order to avoid duplicate Orders.
ARTICLE 8 CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS
The Shop will contact the Customer by telephone or e-mail to inform or confirm the
Order status if the product cannot be delivered at all or cannot be delivered for
a long period of time. This may
happen in rare occasions because the product is no longer available, out of stock
or if errors are found in the Order Acceptance E-mail. If the product cannot be
delivered at all, the Shop and the Customer agree that the Contract will be
rescinded and the Customer will receive a full refund of the purchase price,
including any associated shipping costs or other costs.
In case of a product being out of stock for a long period of time, the Shop and
the Customer may agree upon a delivery that is as close as possible to the
originally scheduled delivery date or, both the Customer and the Shop may agree
to rescind the Contract. Where the Contract is rescinded, the full refund of
the purchase price, including any associated shipping or other costs, will be
refunded to the Customer without any penalty. A short delay in delivery shall,
however, not entitle the Customer to rescind the Contract.
