These Terms of Use (the "Terms") set forth the conditions of use of the online store service (the "Service") provided on this website by PLAINS Co., Ltd. (the "Company"). Registered users (the "Users") shall use the Service in accordance with these Terms.

Article 1 (Application)

These Terms apply to all relationships between Users and the Company relating to the use of the Service.

In addition to these Terms, the Company may establish various rules and other provisions regarding use of the Service (the "Individual Provisions"). Regardless of their name, such Individual Provisions form part of these Terms.

If any provision of these Terms conflicts with an Individual Provision, the Individual Provision will prevail unless otherwise specifically provided.

Article 2 (User Registration)

Registration for the Service is completed when a person wishing to register agrees to these Terms, applies for registration in the manner specified by the Company, and the Company notifies the applicant that the registration has been approved.

The Company may refuse an application for registration if it determines that any of the following applies, and the Company is not obligated to disclose the reason for such refusal:

• The applicant provided false information in the registration application.

• The Company otherwise determines that registration is inappropriate.

Article 3 (Management of User ID and Password)

Users are responsible for properly managing their User IDs and passwords.

Users may not transfer or lend their User IDs or passwords to any third party, nor share them with any third party. If a login is made using a User ID and password that match the registered information, the Company will regard the use as having been made by the registered User.

The Company will not be liable for any damage arising from use of a User ID or password by a third party, except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence by the Company.

Article 4 (Sales Contract)

A sales contract is formed when a User submits an order to the Company and the Company notifies the User that the order has been accepted. Title to the purchased product transfers to the User when the Company hands the product over to the carrier.

The Company may cancel a sales contract without prior notice to the User if any of the following applies:

• The User violates these Terms.
• Delivery cannot be completed because the destination is unknown or the recipient is absent for an extended period.

Payment methods, delivery methods, cancellation of purchase applications, returns, and related procedures are governed by methods separately specified by the Company.

The Company is not liable for any damage incurred by a User as a result of the Service. However, if the contract between the Company and the User relating to the Service (including these Terms) constitutes a consumer contract under Japan's Consumer Contract Act, this limitation of liability will not apply to the extent prohibited by that Act. Even in such a case, the Company will not be liable for damages arising from special circumstances resulting from default or tort caused by the Company's negligence (excluding gross negligence), including cases where the Company or the User foresaw or could have foreseen the occurrence of such damage.

The Company is not liable for transactions, communications, or disputes arising between a User and another User or a third party in connection with the Service.

The Company may change the content of the Service or discontinue provision of the Service without notice to Users and will not be liable for any damage resulting from such changes or discontinuation.

Article 12 (Changes to These Terms)

The Company will appropriately handle personal information obtained through use of the Service in accordance with the Company's Privacy Policy.

Article 14 (Notices and Communications)

Notices and communications between a User and the Company will be made by methods specified by the Company. Unless the User submits a change in accordance with a method separately specified by the Company, the Company will regard the currently registered contact information as valid and send notices or communications to that contact information. Such notices or communications will be deemed to have reached the User when sent.

Article 15 (Prohibition on Assignment of Rights and Obligations)

Users may not assign or transfer their contractual status, rights, or obligations under these Terms to any third party, or provide them as security, without the Company's prior written consent.

Any dispute relating to the Service will be subject to the exclusive agreed jurisdiction of the court having jurisdiction over the location of the Company's head office.
