4.1. PAYMENT FOR GOODS AND DELIVERY
4.1.1. Payment for Goods and delivery services to the Service Provider is made using various methods specified in the “Payment” section on maketto.jp. Depending on the selected payment method, an acquiring fee may apply, which is either included in the exchange rate or charged in accordance with the terms of the selected payment method.

4.1.4. The Service Provider may, at its discretion, make payments for goods, carrier services, warehouse and other related expenses to third parties in its own name if such payments are necessary to perform this Agreement. Such actions do not constitute money transfer services and do not create obligations of the Service Provider to make transfers on behalf of the Client.

Otherwise, the Service Provider is not liable for non-conformity of the purchased Goods.

The invoice is issued in Japanese yen.
4.2.2. Descriptions of Goods displayed on maketto.jp are generated using automatic translation and may contain inaccuracies. To clarify information, each Goods page contains a link to the original source — the Seller’s (store/auction) page. Information on the Seller’s original website has priority over the automatic translation and is final when executing the order.

Delays may occur due to reasons beyond the Service Provider’s control (orders requiring seller confirmation before payment, correspondence with the seller or service, orders requiring cash payment or payment by invoice), as well as in case of a sharp increase in the number of orders, during national holidays and sales periods. The Service Provider is not liable for possible losses caused by delays or inability to purchase goods due to reasons beyond the Service Provider’s control, restrictions imposed by payment systems, marketplaces or banks.
4.2.8. The Service Provider does not guarantee successful purchase of the Goods, even with full payment, if the Seller refused the sale, the Goods are out of stock, or purchase/delivery conditions have changed.

4.2.9. By placing an order, the Client confirms that they accept the costs of paying for the order, delivery of the Goods from the Seller to the Service Provider’s warehouse, sales tax (if charged by the Seller), packaging of the Goods, and delivery of the Goods from the Service Provider’s warehouse to the address specified by the Client.

The Service Provider notifies the Client of the need to dispose of the Goods or extend storage at least 7 days prior to disposal.
