1. Delivery Requests

After a buyer purchases a product listed on the Service from a seller, the order will be matched with a delivery agent registered with the Service and who is online. However, all delivery requests that are attributed to orders buyers place between 9:00 PM and 7:59 AM (Non operational hours) will be sent to delivery agents after 8:00 AM.

2. If the delivery request is not accepted

If the delivery request is not accepted by any delivery agents within 24 hours as a result of the matching process described in Section 1 of this Article, the order will be automatically canceled. If the delivery request is not accepted, no sales contract is confirmed and no payment for the product is made, and the product remains available for sale within the Service.

3. When a delivery request is accepted

The Seller and the Buyer agree that the delivery agent who accepts the delivery request via the matching process may contact them via telephone, chat, or other means within the Service to confirm the pickup date and time, including overnight, in order to ensure prompt and reliable delivery of the Product.

4. Delivery Precautions

The Seller and Buyer shall make their utmost efforts to respond to the delivery agent to confirm the pickup date and time for delivery, etc, so that the delivery agent can complete the delivery within the time limit specified by the Company. In case the seller or buyer is not available at the time of pickup or delivery, the re-delivery date and time shall be adjusted by using the telephone or chat within this service. (However, if there is a specific method designated by the delivery agent, such as an absence slip, the seller and buyer shall comply with that method.) If the delivery agent cannot complete the delivery within the time limit specified by us or the delivery agent reports to us that it is difficult to complete the delivery due to the problems originated from either the seller or buyer as described below (However, not all are listed), and we determine, based on reasonable grounds, that the delivery agent will not be able to complete the delivery even if he/she continues his/her utmost effort, we may take measures that we deem appropriate, such as cancellation of the sales contract.

1. It becomes difficult for the delivery agent to pick up because the seller refuses the pick-up arrangement of the product, causes excessive delay beyond the limit in coordinating a pickup date and time, or because the seller is not available, or the seller's whereabouts is unknown, etc.
2. In the event that the delivery of a product becomes difficult because the buyer's whereabouts are unknown, the buyer refuses to receive the product, makes excessive delay beyond the limit in receiving the product, or because the seller is not available or he/she is unable to communicate after he/she makes the delivery.

If delivery cannot be completed due to problems caused by the Seller or the Buyer as described above, the users responsible for the problem shall be fully liable.

1. Processing Payments

Payment processing services for the User on Kaguru are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). By agreeing to the Terms or continuing to operate as a User on Kaguru, the User agrees to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of Kaguru enabling payment processing services through Stripe, the User agrees to provide Kaguru accurate and complete information about the User and the User’s business, and the User authorizes Kaguru to share it and transaction information related to the User’s use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.

2. Completion of Sales

A sales contract for a product is considered as completed when the buyer places an order of the product from the seller, the delivery agent completes the delivery, the delivery is confirmed, and the buyer confirms the receipt of the purchased product upon checking the product condition.

3. Payment and Delivery Charges

Upon completion of a sales contract, the buyer shall pay the total amount of the product price and delivery charges. In cases where the Seller bears the entire delivery charge, the delivery charge shall be included in the product price, and in cases where the Buyer bears the delivery charges either a part or in full, the Buyer's portion shall be paid by the payment method designated by the Company within this Service. The seller shall be paid for the product price after deducting the delivery charges borne by the seller.

4. Troubles concerning Products, etc.

In the event where a dispute arises between the Seller and the Buyer regarding the product, etc., the dispute shall be resolved between the relevant Users. In addition, if the seller or buyer has a problem with the delivery agent regarding a product which is caused by the delivery, the problem shall be resolved between the relevant users as well. However, at our own discretion, we may also enter into discussions.

5. Cancellation, Cancellation of Sales contract, and Refund

When using the Service, transactions that fall under any of the following shall be treated as cancellations if the User follows the cancelation procedure set forth by the Company, and no product or monetary transaction shall be considered to have occurred:

1. Transactions before the delivery request is accepted via the matching process as per Article 11.1
2. Transactions where the delivery request is accepted but where the Delivery Agent is not yet out for pickup.

For transactions that the Delivery Agent has already left for pickup but a sales contract is yet completed (as defined in Paragraph 1 of this Article), and that a sales contract is completed, cancellation is not allowed unless there is an agreement between the seller, buyer, and delivery agent, and unless there is a problem attributed to the seller, buyer, or delivery agent which falls under (but is not limited to) any of the followings. However, any cancellation request at seller’s or buyer’s own convenience shall not be accepted.

1. When the problem is attributable to the Seller, such that there is an apparent discrepancy between the description of the product and the actual product.
2. When the problem is attributed to the delivery agent, such that the product is damaged during the delivery
3. When a problem is attributed to the buyer, such that the buyer refuses to pick up the product.

In the case of cancellation of transactions that the Delivery Agent has already left for pickup but a sales contract is yet completed, and that a sales contract is completed, if the Company is notified that there is an agreement between the relevant parties on cancellation and which problem listed above is applicable to the case, and the Company approves such cancellation, such transaction shall be treated as a cancellation and the completed sales contract shall be voided. In such a case, the Seller shall be responsible if the problem is attributed to the Seller, the Buyer shall be responsible if the problem is attributed to the Buyer, and the delivery agent shall be responsible if the problem is attributed to the delivery agent.

If the problem is attributable to the Seller, the Seller shall be responsible for returning, disposing, repairing, or replacing the product at his/her own responsibility and expense. In order to refund the money to the Buyer (the amount varies depending on the delivery fees paid by the Seller and the Buyer), we shall deduct the amount of money to be refunded from the Seller's balance on the Service or request the Seller to refund the money to the Buyer in a payment method set forth by us, and return the applicable amount to the Buyer.
If the problem is attributed to the Buyer, the Buyer shall be responsible for paying for the product price or the cost associated with returning or disposing the product at his/her own responsibility and expense. In such cases, if the buyer has an available balance on the Service, we shall deduct the applicable money for the refund or request the buyer to pay the applicable money for the refund via a registered credit card or other payment method set forth by us, and shall return an applicable amount of money to the Seller.
If the problem is attributed to the delivery agent, the delivery agent shall take back, compensate, dispose of, repair, or replace the product at his/her own responsibility and expense. We shall handle the refund process.

6. Precautions for Cancellation of Sales contract

If the cancellation of the sales contract is approved, the Seller or the delivery agent shall take all necessary actions to restore the products that they received to their original state prior to the completion of the sales contract, such as returning the products, except for the following case (but not all of them). The applicable cost required for the restoration of the product to the original condition shall be the responsibility of the user who caused the problem.

1. When the seller, buyer, or delivery agent agree to dispose of the product

If the seller, buyer, and delivery agent agree to dispose of the product, the user who caused the problem shall be responsible for all costs associated with the disposal. Refunds for the cost associated with the disposition shall be resolved between the users in question. However, at our discretion, we may also enter into discussions, and if we undertake the refund process, we will withdraw the money for the disposition from the balance of the user who caused the problem or bill the user in question in the manner set forth by us and refund the money to the user who paid for the disposition (limited to cases where the user who is not responsible for the problem paid for such cost) as long as the seller, buyer, and delivery agent notify us that they have reached an agreement and submit to us the proof of the cost paid for the disposition of the product in question.
The Service does not provide delivery service for the return of product for which a sales contract has been completed through the Service. (Except in cases where the problem is caused by the delivery agent and the delivery agent picks up the product for return.)

1. Review of the Seller by the Buyer

The buyer shall promptly check the delivered product and review the seller within the Service. The buyer may evaluate the seller even if the transaction is affected by a problem caused by the seller.

2. Review of the delivery agent by the buyer

The buyer shall review the delivery agent only for the delivery within the Service after the product has been delivered. However, if it is found that there were problems caused by the delivery agent regarding the condition of the products (upon checking the description of the products and the actual products), the Buyer may review the delivery agent considering such problems.

1. Commission fee

The Service does not charge any fees for listing a product, regardless of the price of the product

2. Withdrawal of Net Sales

When a sales contract is completed, the Company will deposit the net sales into the Seller's account. The Seller may request a withdrawal of the net sales available in the Seller’s account to the designated bank account or any other designated payout methods available in a country where the Seller signed up for the service at any time. Upon receipt of a withdrawal request of net sales from the Seller, the Company shall process the withdrawal to the designated bank account or the designated payout method available in the country in accordance with the procedures set forth by the Company. In the event where the Seller requests a withdrawal of a balance that meets the minimum withdrawal amount set forth by the Company ("Minimum Threshold") (4,000 yen in Japan and 25 USD in the United States and other countries), the Company shall be responsible for all remittance and deposit fees incurred at the time of withdrawal, as well as the monthly account maintenance fee incurred for the month when the Seller requests a withdrawal.
However, if the Seller requests a withdrawal of a balance which is less than the minimum threshold specified in this article, the Seller agrees that the Company will deduct all remittance, deposit, and account maintenance fees from the requested withdrawal balance, and then deposit the rest of the balance to the designated bank account or the designated payout method available in the country in accordance with the procedure which the Company set forth. However, even in the event where the Seller requests a withdrawal of a balance which is less than the minimum threshold specified in this article, if the Seller requests a withdrawal of a balance greater than the minimum threshold within the same month at least once, the Company will refund the account maintenance fee deducted from the requested withdrawal balance. However, the Seller agrees that the Company shall deduct the remittance and deposit fees from the requested withdrawal balance for each withdrawal request which is less than the minimum threshold. However, the Seller agrees that, if the Seller has not initiated a withdrawal of the amount deposited into the account for a set period of time determined by each country’s requirement (For Japan, 60 days from the date of the receipt of the amount. For the U.S., 2 years from the date of the receipt of the amount. For Thailand, 10 days from the date of the receipt of the amount. For all other countries, 90 days from the date of the receipt of the amount ), the Company shall automatically process a withdrawal of such an amount or the aggregated balance available in the account at the time of such a withdrawal to the bank account or the payout method registered in the Seller’s account. The Seller agrees that if the requested withdrawal balance is less than 500 yen in Japan or 3 USD in the United States or other countries, the Seller shall not request a withdrawal, and that the Company will hold the balance for the holding period specified in this article until processing the withdrawal to the designated bank account or the designated payout method available in the country in accordance with the procedure which the Company set forth.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify the contents of the Service, or suspend or discontinue all or part of the Service without prior notice to the users. However, in the event of termination of all or part of the Service, we will make our best efforts to notify and publicize such termination to the users as far in advance as possible.

Unless otherwise stated, the Service is the exclusive property of the Company, and the Company owns and manages the rights to all materials on the Service. The users shall not acquire any rights to any material on the Service, and shall not engage in any act that infringes on any rights without the permission of the rights holder.
