PokeVPN Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (these "Terms") set forth the conditions for using "PokeVPN" (the "Service") provided by Value Maker LLC (the "Company"). All users of the Service ("Users") must agree to these Terms before using the Service.

Article 1 (Application)

1. These Terms apply to all relationships between the Company and Users regarding the provision and use of the Service. 2. If the Company sets forth additional rules, individual terms, guidelines, etc. ("Individual Rules") regarding the Service, such Individual Rules shall constitute part of these Terms. 3. In case of inconsistency between these Terms and the Individual Rules, the Individual Rules shall prevail.

Article 2 (Description of the Service)

1. The Service provides Users, via the internet, with OpenVPN client configuration files and related information ("Client Files, etc.") for the purpose of supplementing the use of Pokémon Trading Card Game Live ("PTCGL"). 2. The Service is an independent and unofficial service provided solely by the Company. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed by the operator of PTCGL or any other third party. 3. The Company may change, add to, or discontinue all or part of the Service without prior notice to Users.

Article 3 (Registration)

1. Any person wishing to use the Service shall register through the method designated by the Company (login via the Company-designated authentication service, payment procedures, etc.) after agreeing to these Terms. 2. The Company may refuse a registration request if it determines that any of the following applies: (1) The applicant has registered false information; (2) The applicant has previously been subject to suspension or other measures for violating these Terms; (3) The applicant is or may be associated with anti-social forces, in the Company's judgment; or (4) The Company otherwise deems the registration inappropriate. 3. A service contract between the Company and the User shall be formed when the Company accepts the registration.

Article 4 (Account and Authentication Information)

1. Users shall properly manage, at their own responsibility, the login account, registered email address, and other authentication information granted in connection with the Service. 2. The Company shall not be liable for any damages incurred by Users due to inadequate management of authentication information, errors in use, or use by third parties. 3. If a User suspects that authentication information may be misused by a third party, the User shall immediately contact the Company and follow the Company's instructions.

Article 5 (Fees and Payment)

1. Fees for the Service shall be the amount separately set by the Company and displayed on the Service website. As a general rule, the basic fee is JPY 700 (tax included) per season, with a "season" corresponding to one PTCGL Battle Pass season (approximately two months). Fees may vary in the range of JPY 500–700 (tax included) due to campaigns or other circumstances. 2. Users shall pay fees through Stripe, by credit card or other payment methods that Stripe makes available in the relevant region/currency (which may include PayPay, various electronic money, convenience store payment, etc., limited to those displayed on the checkout page). 3. The Service offers continuous-use service to Users who pay by credit card. For payment methods other than credit card (PayPay, convenience store payment, etc.), payment is a one-time payment and is not subject to auto-renewal. Unless a credit-card User cancels the subscription, the fee for the next season will be charged automatically when a new PTCGL season begins ("Auto Charge"). 4. Auto Charges are executed on a date set by the Company based on the start of each new PTCGL Battle Pass season. Users may check their current contract status and the next scheduled Auto Charge on the My Account page of the Service. 5. Credit card information entered at the first payment is stored by Stripe and used for subsequent Auto Charges. 6. Fees are paid in advance per season. Paid fees are non-refundable except as otherwise provided in these Terms. 7. If an Auto Charge fails (expired card, insufficient balance, etc.), the Company will notify the User by email or other means and provide guidance for re-payment. If re-payment is not completed, the User may be unable to use the Service for that season. 8. The Company may change the fee structure, payment methods, and other conditions at its discretion. The Company shall give reasonable advance notice of any fee changes.

Article 6 (Cancellation)

1. Users may stop auto-renewal (Auto Charge) at any time from the My Account page of the Service. 2. Auto-renewal must be stopped before the next Auto Charge is executed (by the day before the next season's start date). If a User cancels after an Auto Charge has been executed, the fee for that season will not be refunded. 3. Even after stopping auto-renewal, Users may continue using the Service until the end of the paid season. 4. Once auto-renewal is stopped, no further Auto Charge will be made from the next season onward. The payment method on file is retained, and the User may re-enable auto-renewal at any time from the My Account page. 5. Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs, if a User stops auto-renewal during a free trial for new users (a campaign allowing the first season to be used free of charge; the "Free Trial"), the User will become unable to use the Service from the moment the cancellation is processed, because no fee has been paid for that period.

Article 7 (Refunds and Cancellations)

1. Due to the nature of digital content and Client Files, etc., the Company does not, in principle, accept cancellations or refunds at the User's convenience. 2. However, if the Company determines that ongoing connection failures attributable to the Company have made the Service unusable for a User for a substantial period, the Company may refund all or part of the fee for that season in accordance with the Company's procedures. 3. The decision on whether and how to issue a refund shall be made by the Company on a case-by-case basis.

Article 8 (Prohibited Acts)

Users shall not engage in any of the following acts when using the Service: (1) Acts that violate laws or public order and morals; (2) Use of the Service in violation of the terms or rules of PTCGL or other services; (3) Maliciously using the Service for purposes unrelated to PTCGL over extended periods (such as streaming videos/music unrelated to PTCGL, downloading large files, or other communications unrelated to PTCGL); Note: Streaming PTCGL gameplay is not prohibited and is in fact welcomed. (4) Acts that attempt to alter or intercept the contents of communications carried over the Service; (5) Acts that analyze the operation of the Service (reverse engineering, decompilation, disassembly, etc.); (6) Transferring, reselling, or redistributing the Service or Client Files, etc. to third parties; (7) Acts that place an excessive load on the Service's servers; (8) Acts that infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, honor, or other rights or interests of the Company or any third party; (9) Acts intended to provide benefits to or otherwise involve anti-social forces; or (10) Other acts the Company deems inappropriate.

Article 9 (Suspension/Interruption of the Service and Communication Restrictions)

1. The Company may suspend or interrupt all or part of the Service without prior notice to Users in the following cases: (1) When performing maintenance, inspection, or updates of the Service systems; (2) When servers, networks, etc. encounter accidents or failures; (3) When the provision of the Service becomes difficult due to natural disasters, power outages, or other force majeure; (4) Other cases where the Company deems it necessary to suspend or interrupt the Service. 2. If the Company determines that a User's traffic significantly exceeds the range expected for normal PTCGL use, or that the User is using the Service for purposes other than PTCGL, the Company may take the following measures: (1) Send a warning by email or other means; (2) Apply traffic speed restrictions (bandwidth limits); (3) Block communications temporarily or continuously; (4) Suspend the use of the Service or terminate the contract. 3. The measures in the preceding paragraph may be taken at the Company's discretion without prior warning. However, the Company will use reasonable efforts to notify Users by email or otherwise before or after the action. 4. The Company shall not be liable for any damages incurred by Users or third parties due to suspension, interruption, or communication restrictions under paragraph 1 or 2, except in cases of the Company's willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Article 10 (Intellectual Property)

1. All intellectual property rights to the Service and to the content, programs, know-how, design, and other materials related to the Service belong to the Company or to third parties who license such rights to the Company. 2. By using the Service, Users do not acquire any intellectual property rights, but only a non-exclusive right to use the Service in accordance with these Terms.

Article 11 (Restrictions and Termination)

1. The Company may, without prior notice, restrict use of all or part of the Service or terminate the use contract if a User violates these Terms or in other cases the Company deems necessary. 2. The Company shall not be liable for any damages incurred by a User due to restrictions or termination under the preceding paragraph.

Article 12 (Disclaimers)

1. The Company makes no warranties, express or implied, that the Service will operate normally at all times, will be suitable for any particular purpose of the User, or that use of PTCGL or other external services will not be impaired. 2. Except in cases of the Company's willful misconduct or gross negligence, the Company's liability for damages incurred by Users in connection with the Service (including communication costs, loss of opportunity, data loss, third-party claims, etc., without limitation) shall be capped at the fee actually paid by the User for the relevant season. 3. The User shall resolve, at the User's own responsibility and expense, any disputes that arise between the User and the operator of PTCGL or other third parties. The Company shall bear no responsibility for such disputes.
