Terms of Use

This is a reference translation. The Japanese version is authoritative and prevails in case of any discrepancy.

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") apply to your use of the game "EDO ONLINE" (the "Game") provided by this site (the "Operator"). By using or attempting to use the Game, you (the "User") confirm that you have reviewed and agree to all of these Terms. The Operator may also publish separate guidelines or rules ("Rules"); where Rules conflict with these Terms, the Rules prevail with respect to the conflicting provisions.

Article 1 (Use of the Game)

  • Users shall play the Game on devices they own (including devices owned by a legal guardian who has consented to use by a minor).
  • Users are responsible, at their own cost, for preparing and maintaining any devices, network services, and other equipment needed to play the Game.
  • Users shall use the Game for their personal use only. They shall not obtain multiple User IDs or use the Game across more devices than a typical single user would.

Article 2 (Use by Minors)

  • If a User is a minor, they shall obtain the prior consent of a legal guardian regarding these Terms and their use of the Game. If a minor uses the Game without such consent, the Operator may terminate the contract of use and suspend access.
  • If a User who began playing as a minor continues to play after reaching the age of majority, that continued play constitutes ratification of all prior use.
  • The Operator may restrict all or part of the Game based on the User's age, and the User shall comply with any such restriction.

Article 3 (User IDs)

  • The Operator issues User IDs (linked to email address or Google account) to identify Users and provide support.
  • Users shall manage their User ID securely and shall not disclose, lend, transfer, sell, inherit, or pledge it to any third party.
  • Users shall not acquire, create, or use multiple User IDs. The Operator reserves the right to disable any User ID found to violate this rule.
  • Any use of the Game via a User ID is deemed to be the act of the User to whom that ID was issued, and the User is solely liable for any resulting charges. The Operator is not liable for any damages except in cases of its willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Article 4 (In-Game Currency)

  • The Operator may provide in-game currency (referred to by names such as "ryō" or "mon" within the Game) for consideration or without charge.
  • Users may use provided in-game currency only within the scope and purpose specified by the Operator.
  • For minors, the Operator may set limits on the amount of paid in-game currency that can be purchased within a given period.
  • If a User does not log in or take any action for 30 consecutive days, the in-game currency on that account may be forfeited.

Article 5 (Discontinuation of In-Game Currency)

  • The Operator may, for any reason, change the scope or use of in-game currency, terminate any title in which it is usable, or otherwise discontinue and extinguish any unused in-game currency.
  • Except in the following cases, the Operator is not liable for any damages arising from such discontinuation:
  • where a refund is required by law;
  • where the Operator separately provides otherwise; or
  • in cases of the Operator's willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Article 6 (Fees)

  • Users shall pay the fees set by the Operator when purchasing paid in-game currency or other paid services related to the Game.
  • When paying via a payment method designated by the Operator, Users shall comply with the terms of the relevant payment processor.
  • Any dispute with a payment processor shall be resolved directly between the User and the payment processor. The Operator bears no responsibility except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence.
  • Fees paid by a User are non-refundable except where otherwise provided by the Operator or in cases of the Operator's willful misconduct or gross negligence. The same applies if the Game is unplayable due to issues with the User's devices or network services.
  • Paid in-game currency has an expiry period of four months (120 days), and additional content is not treated as a prepaid payment instrument.
  • Paid in-game currency is deemed delivered upon acquisition of the corresponding additional content, and such additional content is not a prepaid payment instrument.

Article 7 (User-Generated Content)

  • Users are solely responsible for any content they transmit.
  • Users represent that their content does not infringe any third-party intellectual property, privacy, reputation, or other rights. Disputes with third parties shall be resolved between the User and the third party.
  • The Operator may use any content posted by Users, free of charge, indefinitely, and unconditionally, for any purpose including promotion or research, including by copying, editing, modifying, transmitting, or providing to third parties. Users consent to this in advance.
  • The Operator may, without prior notice, review posted content and suspend or delete any or all of it.
  • The Operator is not liable for damages arising from its decision to suspend, delete, or not delete posted content, except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence.
