Website Terms of Use

Acceptable Use

You may use the website and auction system for their intended purpose: researching, evaluating and purchasing vehicles, goods and services through us. You must not use them for any unlawful purpose, attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of our systems or accounts, or interfere with their operation or security.

Automated Access and Scraping

Automated access is not permitted. You must not use bots, crawlers, scrapers, or any automated tools to access, harvest, or extract listings, prices, images, or any other data from the website or auction system, and you must not reproduce or compile our data or databases in bulk, whether manually or by automated means.

Auction Images, Sheets and Data

Vehicle photographs, inspection reports, auction sheets, videos and associated data accessed through our service — whether made available via our platforms, sent to you directly, or accessed through third-party accounts or tools arranged, provided, or authorized by us — are supplied solely for your own vehicle evaluation and purchase decisions. These materials originate from third-party networks and service providers to whom we hold strict confidentiality obligations; they are proprietary trade assets, and the originating networks strictly prohibit public disclosure.

You must not download for republication, screenshot for sharing, publish, or redistribute these materials — including on websites, social media, or to third parties — without our written permission. If auction materials are published or redistributed in breach of these terms, we may suspend or terminate access, recover any penalties, losses or costs imposed on us as a result (including, for account holders, from deposits or other funds held on the account), and take legal action.

Information and Estimates

Content on the website and in the auction system — including prices, calculators, translations, guides and market information — is provided as general guidance only. It may change at any time and should not be relied upon as advice. Binding amounts are those stated on your invoice, as set out in our Terms and Conditions.

Intellectual Property

The content of this website and our auction system — including text, design, branding, logos, photographs and data compilations — belongs to us or our licensors. You may not reproduce or reuse it without our written permission, except as needed for your own use of our services.

Third-Party Links

The website may link to third-party websites (for example, payment providers or the auction houses). We are not responsible for their content or their handling of your information.

Changes and Governing Law

We update these terms of use from time to time; the latest version is always published on this page with the date shown above. These terms of use are governed by the laws of Japan, and the Kyoto District Court or Kyoto Summary Court have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute concerning them.
