Special Terms for Sales Solicitations

These Special Terms apply to anyone (the "Sender") who agrees to them and sends a message through the contact forms (the "Forms") of the websites operated by Preferred Inc. (the "Company"): pref.co.jp, estate.pref.co.jp and slowrush.jp, regardless of the inquiry type selected.

The agreement is formed when the Company has presented these Special Terms and the data sent by the Sender with consent has been successfully received by the Company's system. Submissions that fail to be received are excluded.

When sending on behalf of a company or other business, the message must be sent by a person authorized to make that business a party to these Special Terms, and that business becomes the party. Company names, names and email addresses entered must be accurate, and third-party information must not be used without permission.

A "sales solicitation" is a message that, for the business of the Sender or a third party, offers, advertises or solicits products or services the Company has not requested, including advertising or media placement, marketing or SEO support, staffing services, outsourcing, paid coverage, or brokerage. This is judged from the content and circumstances of the message, not only from the inquiry type or wording selected.

The following are excluded: requests, consultations and questions about the products and services of the Company (including its divisions and stores), media inquiries that do not ask for fees, job applications, communications about existing transactions, proposals to resell or refer the Company's products and services, joint projects or events that do not ask the Company to bear costs, and complaints, exercise of rights, or other messages not for sales purposes.

Messages from individuals using the Forms other than in the course of business are not sales solicitations.

The Company prohibits sales solicitations through the Forms. If a message sent with consent to these Special Terms is a sales solicitation, the Sender shall pay the Company JPY 100,000 per message as liquidated damages for the prohibited message.

This amount is liquidated damages, and no consumption tax is added. It is not a price for any product or service. No payment obligation arises for messages that are not sales solicitations.

Duplicate submissions confirmed to be resends of the same content caused by communication errors will not be charged more than once.

Payment is due by the last day (Japan time) of the month following the month of receipt.

If the Company reviews a message and determines that it is a sales solicitation, it will send an electronic invoice to the email address entered. The invoice states the billed party, the receipt date/time and receipt ID of the message, the amount, the due date and the bank account, together with the reason for the determination. The Company may ask for additional information such as an address needed for billing.

The Sender shall pay by bank transfer to the account designated by the Company and bear the transfer fee. If the Company's invoice is delayed, the due date is the later of 14 days after the invoice is sent or the last day of the month following the month of receipt.

If you notice an error in the email address entered, please notify the Company promptly.

The Company does not accept withdrawal for the Sender's own convenience after receipt, cessation of solicitation, or exemption from payment solely because the Sender overlooked these Special Terms or the amount. This does not exclude invalidity, rescission, cancellation or other rights granted by law.

If you disagree with the determination or the invoice, please reply to the Company's notice and explain. The Company does not unilaterally and finally establish the payment obligation.

To confirm the agreement and handle disputes, the Company keeps the entered content, whether consent was given, the receipt date/time, the receipt ID, the version of these Special Terms and the consent text agreed to.

These Special Terms are governed by the laws of Japan, and the Tokyo District Court has exclusive jurisdiction in the first instance over any dispute relating to them.

The Company may amend these Special Terms. Amended terms do not apply retroactively to messages sent before the amendment.
