Terms of Service

By accessing or using the Vetting Japan website and services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our services. These terms apply to all visitors, users, and clients of our website and services.

Vetting Japan provides due diligence, background verification, and risk analysis services for overseas companies seeking to verify Japanese individuals and businesses. Our services include individual vetting, company verification, social media risk analysis, and English-language risk report preparation.

All research is conducted using publicly available and legally accessible sources. We do not engage in illegal surveillance, unauthorized data access, or any activities that violate Japanese or international law.

As a client, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete information about the subjects you want investigated.

• Use our services and reports for lawful purposes only.

• Not share, publish, or distribute our reports to unauthorized third parties without our written consent.

• Not use our findings to engage in harassment, discrimination, or illegal activities.

• Pay all fees in accordance with the pricing and payment terms agreed upon.

Payment for services is required in full before investigation work begins, unless otherwise agreed in writing. We accept payment through secure electronic methods as specified on our website.

For Business tier clients with custom pricing, payment terms will be outlined in a separate service agreement. All fees are quoted in US Dollars unless otherwise specified.

Refunds are provided only in cases where we are unable to deliver the agreed-upon service. Partial refunds may be considered on a case-by-case basis at our discretion.

Investigation reports are prepared exclusively for the requesting client. Reports remain the intellectual property of Vetting Japan until full payment is received. Upon full payment, the client receives a license to use the report internally for their business purposes.

Clients may not resell, republish, or commercially exploit our reports without written permission. Attribution to Vetting Japan is required if findings are shared with third parties in accordance with lawful business practices.

Vetting Japan provides reports based on publicly available information and open-source intelligence. While we make every effort to ensure accuracy and completeness, we cannot guarantee that all information is error-free or exhaustive.

Our liability is limited to the amount paid for the specific service in question. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of our reports or services.

Clients are responsible for making their own business decisions based on our reports. Our findings should be considered one component of a comprehensive due diligence process, not a substitute for legal, financial, or professional advice.

We maintain strict confidentiality regarding client identities and investigation subjects. We do not disclose who requested an investigation to any third party, including the subject of the investigation.

Clients are similarly obligated to maintain the confidentiality of our investigation methodologies and any proprietary information disclosed during the engagement.

Vetting Japan does not conduct physical surveillance, wiretapping, or any form of covert monitoring. All findings are derived from publicly available records, corporate registries, digital footprints, and open-source intelligence that individuals and companies have voluntarily made accessible.

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan. Any disputes arising from these terms or our services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
