Terms of Service

These Terms set forth the conditions for the provision of the UR Vacancy Checker (the "Service") and the rights and obligations between the operator and users. By using the Service, the user is deemed to have agreed to these Terms and to the separately defined "Privacy Policy".

The Service is operated on the premise that it is provided in Japanese for users residing in Japan.
The operator makes no warranties regarding the provision of the Service or its compliance with the laws of any country with respect to use from outside Japan.

Users shall use the Service only if they are 18 years of age or older, or if under 18 and have obtained the consent of a parent, guardian, or other legal representative. By using the Service, users are deemed to represent that they meet the above requirements.
The operator may refuse, suspend, or cancel registration without prior notice in any of the following cases:
- The user has previously had their registration cancelled due to a violation of these Terms

The Service is not affiliated with UR or any of its related organizations.
Information displayed and notified through the Service may differ from UR's official information. Users must verify UR's official information themselves before making decisions regarding contracts or applications.
If there are changes to the specifications, terms of use, or accessibility of UR's website, the operator may suspend, modify, or terminate the Service without prior notice.

Users shall verify UR's official information themselves and at their own responsibility before entering into contracts or making applications.
The operator shall not be liable for delayed, undelivered, or misdirected notification emails, or other events related to notifications, nor for opportunity losses such as the inability to obtain a property as a result of using the Service.
The operator does not assume responsibility for the preservation of users' registered information or other data stored or recorded in the Service, and shall not be liable for the loss, damage, or alteration of such data.

Article 10 (Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability)

The operator shall not be liable for damages incurred by users in connection with the Service, except in cases of intentional misconduct or gross negligence by the operator.

When a user makes a claim for damages or other claims against the operator regarding the Service, the user shall make such claim in writing (including electronic methods) within one year from the date the user becomes aware of the facts giving rise to the claim, and if such period passes, the user shall lose the right to make such claim.

The revised Terms shall take effect from the time they are posted on the Service (or from the announced effective date in the case of the preceding paragraph), and if a user uses the Service after such time, the user is deemed to have agreed to the revised Terms.
