■4. Use of an In-app Billing System
  1. An 'in-app billing system' is an element included in certain Content.

The in-app billing system includes and encompasses all related elements, such as the functions to Purchase relevant elements within the Content, the web-sites accessed by the relevant functions, the functions of online payment platforms provided by third parties, etc., in addition to the Items themselves within the Content.
  2. 'Points' are special Items which when applied permit the use of 'points-supporting Items'. 'Points-supporting Items' are a type of Item, but are different in that they become usable through the application of points rather than through a Purchase. Irrespective of any literal definition or meaning, points are not like a virtual currency or net money, which can be used just like physical money to make payments. Essentially, points are 'the usage rights for a points-supporting Item'. Points have the following characteristics.
  3. Points are sold as Items with general names such as '*** point(s)' or '*** ticket(s)', in Content which includes an in-app billing system.

In all other cases, no financial transaction occurs, nor is any financial transaction permitted or accepted, between the Company and the Customer, or between the Customer and a third party.
  7. An Item once Acquired cannot be exchanged for any other Item, benefit, service, goods, money, or goods with monetary value, with an effect or value greater than that of the Acquired Item. This applies to exchanges involving the Company, the Customer, or any third party. Furthermore, when points have already been applied, it is not possible to apply those points to any other points-supporting Item. Even to attempt any such improper exchange shall be regarded as a breach of the terms and conditions of this EULA.
  8. Acquired Items have their own characteristics. Depending on its individual characteristics, an Acquired Item may be consumed partially or entirely when used within the Content, with the Item being reduced or disappearing (being used up) completely. Furthermore, some Items may have limited periods of validity. When the period of validity of such an Item is exceeded, the Item may become no longer usable, and may disappear. Whether or not an Item is reduced or disappears completely when used is governed by the explanation provided when the Item is supplied. When an Item is reduced or disappears completely when used in accordance with this explanation, this shall be regarded as proper and correct usage and consumption, to which the Customer has given consent.
  9. When Acquiring an Item, the Customer shall be deemed to have read carefully any and all explanations (including but not limited to explanations relating to how to use the Item, to whether or not the Item is consumed when used within the Content, to the presence or absence of any period of validity, or the price or quantity of points) and to have Acquired the Item in a proper way having assented to any and all terms and conditions set out in the explanations. With regard to Items, the ability to cancel an order, and the availability of refunds, exchanges, and re-downloads shall be determined according to the policies and capabilities of the Distribution Service.
