Arbitration
All disputes, controversies, or differences which may arise between the Parties hereto, out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement, which may not be settled by mutual accord without undue delay, shall be finally settled by arbitration in Tokyo in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of The Japan Commercial Arbitration Association.

ARBITRATION AFFECTS HOW DISPUTES ARISING FROM THESE TERMS WILL BE RESOLVED. BY BECOMING A MEMBER OR USING ANY OF OUR SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis many of the same damages and relief as a court.

The provisions of these Terms shall bind the arbitrator and shall not make any decision or award that is contrary to, or in excess of, what these Terms provide.
The arbitration in this Section will be administered by the Judicial Arbitration Mediation Service (“JAMS”) pursuant to its arbitration rules and procedures then in effect. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267 (international rates may apply). Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $5,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, COTODAMA will not seek attorney’s fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration in this Section must be brought in New York, NY, U.S.A before one (1) arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator will be rendered within thirty (30) days following the conclusion of the arbitration. It will be in writing and will set forth in detail the reasons for such a decision.
You and COTODAMA agree that any dispute will be brought to the parties’ individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class proceeding.
YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION THAT YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED

These Terms represent the entire agreement between you and COTODAMA (and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, whether oral or written, between you and COTODAMA) relating to the subject matter hereof. Certain Services-related activities and/or other items or services made available by COTODAMA to you in connection with the Program may be subject to their own respective terms and conditions (each “Supplemental Terms“). Unless the Supplemental Terms expressly state otherwise, each set of Supplemental Terms shall be deemed in addition to these Terms (and are hereby incorporated into these Terms by reference), and to the extent of any conflict between these Terms and the Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms shall prevail.
Severability. You and COTODAMA agree that it is our mutual intent that these Terms, including without limitation any limitation of liability herein, be enforced as written, but otherwise to the maximum extent allowable by law. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, then (a) the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect, and (b) you and COTODAMA agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace the provision with a provision that is legal, valid and enforceable and that most closely approximates the original legal intent and economic impact of such provision, and these Terms shall be enforceable as so modified in respect of such jurisdiction. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it as aforesaid, then such provision will be ineffective solely as to such jurisdiction and will be substituted (in respect of such jurisdiction) with a valid, legal, and enforceable provision that most closely approximates the original legal intent and economic impact of such provision.
Relationship. You and COTODAMA are solely independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between you and us. You must not under any circumstances make or undertake any warranties, representations, commitments, or obligations on behalf of us.
Assignment. COTODAMA may assign these Terms (or any of its rights and/or obligations hereunder) without your consent and without notice or obligation to you. You may not assign these Terms (or any of your rights and/or obligations hereunder) without COTODAMA’s prior express written consent. Any prohibited assignment shall be null and void.
Accessing the Website. Those who choose to access the Website do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.
Force Majeure. COTODAMA shall not be liable for any damage, loss, cost, or expense arising in connection with any failure to perform any obligation caused by any circumstance beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, invasion, war, acts of governments, pandemics, natural disasters, strike, lockout (“Force Majeure“).
Modifications to these Terms. COTODAMA may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, modify these Terms. COTODAMA will endeavor to (but does not guarantee that it will) notify you of the updated Terms (the “Updated Terms“). In any event, the most current Terms will be available at \. The Updated Terms will take effect upon the date specified in the notice given to you (or, if no notice is given, or no date is specified, then ten (10) days after the date such Updated Terms are posted online). Your continued access or use of the Services after such effective date shall constitute your acceptance of the Updated Terms. If you object to the modifications, you may terminate your Membership as your sole remedy and COTODAMA’s sole liability.
Remedies. Except as may be expressly stated otherwise in these Terms, no right or remedy conferred upon or reserved by any party under these Terms is intended to be, or shall be deemed, exclusive of any other right or remedy under these Terms, at law or in equity, but shall be cumulative of such other rights and remedies.
Language; Electronic Contract. The language of these Terms is expressly agreed to be English. By entering into these Terms, you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the maximum extent legally permitted, any law applicable to you requiring that these Terms be localized to meet your language (as well as any other localization requirements) or requiring an original (non-electronic) signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records.
