Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the "Branmado" platform (the "Service") provided by KajimaKikaku.LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account or using any part of the Service, all users, including Brands and Crowdfunding Partners, agree to be bound by these Terms.

2. Nature of the Service and Visibility

Branmado operates strictly as a B2B matching platform for the Japanese market (Japan). We provide a digital venue to facilitate information exchange between Brands and Crowdfunding Partners.

• For Brands: Please note that registering a profile or listing products does not guarantee that your information will be visible to all users at all times. Access to detailed product listings is restricted to active, paying subscribers of our platform. Therefore, your brand may only be discovered by users who meet our current membership requirements.
• No Guarantee of Discovery: We do not guarantee that your brand or product will be found, viewed, or contacted by any specific number of partners.

3. Disclaimer of Warranties and Information Accuracy

We strive to maintain a high-quality professional environment; however, we do not verify and cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or legality of any information provided by users.

All content is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Users are solely responsible for conducting their own due diligence, credit checks, and legal verifications before entering into any business discussions or agreements. We do not endorse or warrant the credibility of any Brand or Crowdfunding Partner registered on the Service.

4. Limitation of Liability and No Guarantee of Results

The Service is designed to provide *opportunities* for connection, not guaranteed outcomes. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we explicitly disclaim the following:

• No Guarantee of Match: We do not guarantee that use of the Service will result in a successful business match, partnership, or contract.
• No Guarantee of Response: We do not guarantee that inquiries or messages sent through the platform will receive a reply.
• No Liability for Negotiations: We are not a party to any communication or agreement between users. We are not liable for any losses, damages, or disputes arising from negotiations, contract failures, or the conduct of other users.

5. Subscriptions, Trials, and Cancellations

Our Service includes a paid subscription model primarily for Crowdfunding Partners to ensure a committed professional community.

• 3-Day Free Trial: First-time subscribers may access the Service via a 3-day free trial. You must provide valid payment information to start the trial.
• Automatic Billing: If the subscription is not canceled before the trial expires, the subscription fee will be automatically charged to your designated payment method. Subsequent renewals occur every 30 days.
• Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your subscription at any time through your Account Settings. To ensure the system processes your request before the next billing cycle begins, we recommend that cancellation be completed at least 30 minutes prior to the exact expiration time of your current trial or billing period.
• Refunds: All fees are non-refundable. We do not provide credits or prorated refunds for mid-month cancellations.

6. Intellectual Property and Content License

Users maintain ownership of their content while granting the Service the rights necessary for operation.

• Ownership: Brands and Partners retain all intellectual property rights to the product information, company profiles, and media they upload to the Service.
• Limited License to Branmado: By submitting content, users grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license to host, display, and use such content solely for the purpose of providing the Service, facilitating matches, and promoting the user's listing or the Branmado platform.
• Partner Usage Restrictions: Crowdfunding Partners are strictly prohibited from downloading, reproducing, or using Brand information or media for any purpose outside of the internal evaluation and negotiation processes facilitated by the Service without the express written consent of the Brand owner.

7. Prohibited Conduct

Users agree to use the Service in a professional and lawful manner. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:

• Registering false, misleading, or unauthorized brand or corporate information.
• Using the Service for any fraudulent or illegal purposes.
• Interfering with the operation of the Service or attempting to access unauthorized data.
• Circumventing Technical Measures: Attempting to circumvent, disable, or interfere with technical protection measures (including but not limited to blurring, masking, or skeleton screens) intended to restrict access to information reserved for paying subscribers.

8. Service Interruption and Termination

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the Service or any user's access at our sole discretion, without prior notice, if we believe these Terms have been violated or for necessary system maintenance.

9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan. Any disputes arising in connection with the Service shall be subject to the exclusive primary jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court.
