Revision of Terms Of Use due to Adoption to Invoice Number Registration for Japanese Consumption Tax
In order to comply with the consumption tax eligible invoice storage system (i.e. invoice system) in Japan, we will revise the terms of use with January 31, 2024 as the revision date.
Purpose of Revision
We will revise to comply with the invoice system so that purchasing customers can receive a purchase tax credit.
Although it is necessary to display the seller's name and address on the receipt, in order to protect the personal information of private sellers, we will continue to display the address and invoice number of the operating company, Stlinig Corp.. As a result, we are required to pay consumption tax, including the amount other than our site charge, so we have to deduct it from the amount paid to the seller when a sale occurs and it requires a revision of terms of use.
