- We shall receive from Users of the Service the following proceeds from transactions with respect to Products (including license fees arising from the licensing of rights held by Creators and us with respect to the Content and the Product), on Creator’s behalf as commissioned by Creators. A User’s obligation to pay the proceeds to Creators shall be extinguished by performance as of the time we receive payment of the proceeds:

- Notwithstanding the provisions of the Basic Terms of Service, any amount of damages that we may owe Creators is further limited to the Commission Fees paid by Creators to us in the one-year period prior to such damages surfacing.

- Notwithstanding Article 16(2), if the Creator ends the Subscription, the Fan terminates the Subscription Agreement, or the Fan deletes their Zaiko account, that Fan will lose the right to use the ONEFAN ID under Article 16(2). We shall not be held liable in such case.
Article 17 (Trading)
- Fans may trade ONEFAN IDs with another Fan with the same Subscription using the Service. ONEFAN IDs may only be traded through the Marketplace.
- By providing the Service, we only provide a platform and the opportunity to enter into agreements with respect to a ONEFAN ID. We are not a party to an agreement with respect to any trading of ONEFAN IDs. A sale agreement with respect to a ONEFAN ID trade (an agreement that sets forth terms including the assignment of the rights to use the ONEFAN ID and the payment of consideration in exchange for that assignment) is formed between Fans when such Fans agree to the terms and conditions of a ONEFAN ID trade (including but not limited to the price; the same applies hereinafter).
- After a sale agreement for a ONEFAN ID trade is formed, the Fan cannot cancel such agreement (includes revocation of an offer, rescission and termination; the same applies hereinafter) and shall not attempt to invalidate or rescind an executed transaction for any reason unless otherwise permitted by law.
- If Fans wish to trade a ONEFAN ID, the Fan receiving the consideration for the trade (the “Trade Price”) hereby authorizes us to accept payment of the Trade Price on their behalf. Fans shall not receive the Trade Price from the other party to the trade under any name or by any method. The Fan paying the Trade Price shall pay for any transfer fees required to send the Trade Price to us.
- We will pay the Trade Price that we received upon the Fan’s behalf as set forth in Article 17(4) upon deducting a fee that we set forth separately (the “Trade Fee”) by wiring such payment to an account that the Fan receiving the Trade Fee designates by a date that we set forth separately. However, if the payment date is a bank holiday, we will pay by the preceding day.
- We shall pay for any transfer fees associated with the payment set forth in Article 17(5).
- The Fan paying the price in a ONEFAN ID trade shall not pay the Trade Price directly to the other party to the trade. The Trade Price shall be paid to us, as the party authorized to receive payment on behalf of the other party to the trade, by a date that we specify separately.
- We are in no way responsible for any dispute or other issue that arises between Fans with respect to any ONEFAN ID trade.
Article 18 (Upgrade)
- When a Fan cancels or terminates his or her use of Subscription Services in connection with his or her ONEFAN ID and such ONEFAN ID number becomes vacant (“Vacant ID”), Creators may, by a method that is set forth by us separately, provide an opportunity for other Fans of the Subscription to upgrade their ONEFAN ID number and acquire a Vacant ID number that is smaller than the one he or she currently has (“Upgrade Right”).
- A Fan that receives the Upgrade Right may acquire a Vacant ID number that is a lower number than the one he or she currently has by exercising the Upgrade Right within the exercise period that we set forth separately. The ONEFAN ID formerly held by a Fan that exercises the Upgrade Right will be treated as a Vacant ID upon the exercise of the Upgrade Right, and become subject to upgrading.
- A Fan that exercises the Upgrade Right shall pay the fee for exercising the Upgrade Right (the “Upgrade Fee”) to us. The Fan shall pay for any transfer fees.
- The Upgrade Fee and other conditions of the exercise of the Upgrade Right are as set forth in these Terms of Service, or as separately set forth by us and the Creator.
- Any agreement with respect to any upgrades is formed between the Creator and the Fan that exercises the Upgrade Right. We are authorized by Creators to accept payment of the Upgrade Fee on their behalf, and will receive payment of the Upgrade Fee from Fans. Fans that exercise Upgrade Rights shall pay the Upgrade Fee by the method that we designate, and shall not pay the Upgrade Fee directly to the Creator under any name or by any method.
Article 19 (Liability for Trades, etc.)
- Users shall be responsible and pay for resolving any disputes or problems that arise between a Creator and a Fan or between Users and any third parties (including disputes or problems between Users) in connection with the trading of ONEFAN IDs, upgrading ONEFAN IDs, and the like, and we shall not be held liable for any such disputes or problems.
- If we are required to pay any costs (including but not limited to settlement payments, attorneys’ fees and the like) to resolve a dispute or problem under Article 19(1), Users shall reimburse us for any amount of such costs that we specify. Users shall pay for any fees associated with payment of such costs.
Article 20 (Misuse of Credit Cards)
- If there is a chargeback (refers to where a credit card company cancels the approval for a payment due to unauthorized use of the card or other reasons) with respect to a credit card purchase, we may return to the credit card company the amount credited by the credit card company, at our sole discretion, without any notice to the Fan receiving the Trade Price.
- If a chargeback occurs under Article 20(1) before the Fan receiving the Trade Price receives payment, we shall deduct the amount to be returned through the chargeback from the total amount to be paid to that Fan. If the chargeback occurs after the Fan receives payment, the Fan shall pay to us the amount to be returned through the chargeback by a date that we specify.
Chapter 4: Other Standard Provisions
The provisions of this Chapter 4 apply to the use of the Service by both Creators and Fans.
Article 21 (Prohibited Acts)
Users shall not enter into an agreement with respect to a ONEFAN ID without using the Service (including, but not limited to, direct negotiation with another Fan without using the Service and listing a ONEFAN ID on an external auction site). In addition, Users shall not commit any act prohibited under the Basic Terms of Service.
Article 22 (Intellectual Property Rights)

- Notwithstanding the provisions of the Basic Terms of Service, any amount of damages that we may owe Creators is further limited to the total commissions (meaning the total of Subscription Commissions, Trade Commissions, and Upgrade Commissions) actually received by us in the one-year period prior to such damages surfacing.
- Notwithstanding the provisions of the Basic Terms of Service, any amount of damages that we may owe Fans is further limited to the total of the Subscription Fees, Trade Fees, and Upgrade Fees paid by the Fan claiming the damages in connection with the Service in the one-year period prior to such damages surfacing, upon deduction of the amount that we paid to Creators.
- If the Consumer Contract Act of Japan applies to the relationship between Users and us, the limitation of damages under Articles 23(3) and (4) shall only apply to any damages that Users may incur as a result of our slight negligence. If Users incur damages due to our willful misconduct or gross negligence, the Basic Terms of Service apply irrespective of Article 23(3) and (4).
