Terms and Conditions

Introduction

The following Terms and Conditions shall apply to parties living in countries or regions outside Japan using or purchasing items from JSHOPPERS.com (hereinafter "the Site"), a website administered by Navibird, Inc. (hereinafter "the Company"; a Japanese company headquartered at 5-19, Kyutaromachi 2 chome, Chuo-ku, Osaka 541-0056, JAPAN).
While using or purchasing items from the Site you are considered to be in agreement to the terms of this document, so you should understand and agree to the following Terms and Conditions before using the Site.

How to Order and Delivery

  • For a first-time order, in accordance with the Terms and Conditions the Company requires you to first accurately provide your name and address information before ordering and then receive a notification of your ID and password from the Company (member registration). Please consult with the "Areas We Ship To" and "Shipping and Handling Charges" pages for more information regarding service in your area.
    Please take care to prevent discovery and misuse of your member ID and password by a third party. You are considered to have agreed to bear responsibility for all actions taken using your ID and password.
    In the event that an order could not be delivered even though it was sent to the shipping address you specified, the Company will bear no responsibility. If you would like to have the order re-shipped, then you should pay the actual, full price of the shipping costs, etc.
  • There is a spending limit of JPY 200,000 per single order. The JPY 200,000 limit is calculated from the merchandise sub-total and does not include Shipping and Handling charges.
  • Even though an item was listed as being in stock, and was successfully added to the shopping cart, stock may no longer be available by the time your account has been settled, and purchase may not be possible.
  • The contract between you and the Company is considered to be fulfilled when the Company ships items to you.
    The sending of an Order Confirmation email by the Company is for the purpose of confirming the contents of your application to enter into a contract with the Company, and does not mean that the Company has approved your application to enter into said contract.
  • In the event that one or more items ordered as part of an order are out of stock, the equivalent cost of the out-of-stock items will be deducted from the settlement amount and the order will be shipped without prior notification. Additionally, even if the item comes into stock after the order has shipped, the Company is unable to ship the item as a supplement to your previous order. Please make a new order for the item.
  • Order contents (such as size, color, or quantity) and the shipping address information cannot be changed once the order has been placed. Orders cannot be cancelled or changed in any way once they have been submitted.
  • Although the Company strives to ship your order within 9 days from the day it was placed, depending on the contents of the order, stock status, the volume of orders we are receiving etc., there may be instances where shipment of the order is delayed. (JCRAFTS items may take additional time to manufacture).
  • You should investigate the rules and regulations regarding importing into your country, including goods restricted for import, before placing an order. In the unlikely event that an ordered item is not allowed for import into your country or is subject to tax due to its high value, the Company will accept no responsibility. Furthermore, the Company will not refund the item amount and shipping & handling charges in such cases.
  • The Company reserves the right to combine multiple orders from the same customer, and ship them together as one unit. Even in the event that this results in shipping and handling fees being levied multiple times, the Company will not refund them.
  • Orders to countries and regions other than Hong Kong will be sent by Express Mail Service (EMS). Orders to Hong Kong will generally be sent by international couriers DHL and Overseas Courier Service (OCS). However, depending on the contents of the order EMS may also be used. No matter the country or region, you may not choose the shipping service.

Shipping and Handling Charges

  • Shipping and handling charges are set based on the total amount of ordered merchandise and those charges include the Express Mail Service (EMS) or international courier postage and insurance fees, etc. They should be paid together with the total amount of the ordered merchandise.
  • Orders containing heavy items are charged an extra shipping charge. This charge is based on the EMS (Express Postal Service) shipping charge. Half that amount is born by the Company with the other half being your responsibility. If a special shipping charge is levied, every unit ordered of an item that has a special shipping charge will incur that charge on top of the price of the merchandise.
  • In the event that you refuse to accept the delivery of an order, or if an order is returned to the Company after the retention period at the post office has passed after failed delivery attempts, the cost of returning the item to the Company will be deducted from the cost of the items when making the refund, and will not be returned to you. Further, if the cost of returning the item to the Company is more than the value of the items, you must pay that difference to the Company.

Payment

  • The amount charged to you will be the total sum of the merchandise plus the shipping and handling charges.
  • The Company accepts payment by credit card, PRC RMB, PayPal, and Alipay. For more details regarding payment, please contact directly your credit card company, your debit card company, PayPal, or Alipay.
  • In the event of a credit card order, please use a credit card that is in your own name. If you use a credit card that is not in your name, the Company may refuse your order(s) without prior notice.
  • Credit card, PayPal, and Alipay settlements will be made in Japanese Yen, and for PRC RMB cards, settlement will be made in Chinese Yuan.

Customs Duties and Export Certificates

  • Orders may be subject to import tax, value tax, customs handling fees, and/or delivery fees in some countries or regions. In this case, you (or the recipient if the merchandise is shipped to someone other than you) should be responsible for the payment of any such taxes or fees.
  • In the event that the delivery of an order is delayed due to complications or processing at customs, the Company bears no responsibility for this situation.
  • We do not issue export certificates such as a certificate of origin and export visa for delivered goods.

There are two methods for you to choose from for your refund of the merchandise cost and shipping.

  • Refund in the form of JSHOPPERS points (JPY 1 = 1 point)
    There is no loss due to fluctuating exchange rates, and the refund can be processed quickly.
    *Please note that depending on campaign rules, there are situations where points are not available for use.
  • Refund through the credit card, PayPal, or Alipay account that was used to purchase the merchandise.
    The merchandise and/or shipping refund will be made through the credit card company, PayPal, or Alipay account that was used to purchase the merchandise. For a refund through credit card, PayPal, or Alipay, the exchange rate applied to the amount billed for the merchandise and shipping and handling charges may differ from the exchange rate at the time of refund.
