Village also owns all trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos and domain names used on or in connection with the Site or it has valid rights to use any such material.

You may not use the Site in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden or impair the Site or interfere with any other party’s use and enjoyment of the Site. You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any computer systems or networks associated with the Site.

Neither village nor any parties representing or otherwise affiliated with village, including but not limited to officers, employees, agents, licensors, successors or assigns (collectively the “village parties), are liable for any direct, indirect, special, punitive, incidental, exemplary or consequential damages, or intangible losses (even if village has been advised of the possibility of such losses), arising out of your use of or inability to use the site, the use or inability to use any site linked to this site, any viruses derived from this site, or any other matter relating to this site. The maximum aggregate liability of village and all village parties (but specifically excluding gross negligence or willful misconduct) shall be $100.00 (one hundred dollars). To the extent permitted by law and without limiting any of the foregoing, everything on the site is provided to you on as "as is" basis, without warranty, either express or implied, of any kind, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a specific purpose, freedom from computer virus, data accuracy, or non-infringement. Applicable law may not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so these exclusions may not apply to you in whole or in part. You assume the sole risk of making use of the site and the content it provides.

4. Links

Village is not responsible for any third party website that links to or from the Site. Village disclaims all responsibility for the accuracy of any of the information provided on such linked Site and any goods or services provided or purchased from such Site.

Village takes reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of the information included in the site.

Village may, in its sole discretion and at any time, discontinue the Site or any parts thereof or limit or restrict any user access thereto, for any reason, with or without notice. Village may take any one or more of these actions without any notice to you, prior or otherwise and Village shall not have any liability to you or to any other person for any termination of your (or anyone else’s) access to the site or parts thereof and/or the removal, discarding, disabling or deactivation of any information or data that you (or anyone else) may have provided on or by means of the Site.

7. No Waiver

The failure on the part of Village to enforce any part of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of any of Village's rights hereunder for past or future actions.

8. Jurisdiction

[NOTE – it may be very difficult to enforce jurisdiction in Japan against a US resident user of the site. Village may wish to consider an alternative choice of jurisdiction in the event that this is not enforceable. Japanese choice of law may be enforceable, but highly unusual for a sited directed to the US, so the client may wish to consider an alternative if JP law choice ultimately is not enforceable.]

 

Any dispute over the content or use of the Site shall be governed by the substantive laws of Japan, and the jurisdiction and venue of any such action shall be vested solely in the Tokyo District Court.

9. Information and Content Submitted by You

Neither Village nor any of its employees accept or consider unsolicited ideas or materials, including concepts for new movies, videos, shows, theatrical performances, promotions, marks or names, creative works, technology, or site functionality. The purpose of this policy is to avoid potential misunderstandings or disputes when Village’s content, this Site, other works or marketing strategies might seem similar to ideas or materials submitted to Village. Please do not send your unsolicited ideas or materials to Village or anyone at Village. If, despite our request that you not send to us your ideas and materials, you still send them, please understand that Village makes no assurances that your ideas and materials will be treated as confidential or proprietary.

10. Entire Agreement

You acknowledge and agree that these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Village with respect to the use of the Site. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Terms and the Privacy Policy, the terms of the Privacy Policy shall control.

11. General Terms

You may not assign or otherwise transfer rights granted under these Terms. You agree that any material breach of these Terms by you will result in irreparaable harm to Village for which damages alone would be an inadequate remedy and, therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, Village will be entitled to equitable relief, including both a preliminary and permanent injunction, if such a breach occurs. You waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security if Village seeks such an injunction.

 

Nothing in these Terms limits Village’s right to comply with governmental, court and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Site or information provided to or gathered by Village with respect to such use.

 

A printed version of these Terms and any notices given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

 

By accessing or using the Site in any way, you signify your understanding and agreement to comply with these Terms.
