Article 12 Limitation of Liability

The Company is liable for willful misconduct and gross negligence.

Even if the non-performance of the Agreement is due to gross negligence or willful misconduct, the damages only include what is an immediate and direct consequence of the non-performance.

Further, the Company is liable for the negligent breach of obligations, whose fulfillment is essential to enable the ordinary implementation of the contract, whose breach jeopardizes the achievement of the purpose of the contract and on whose compliance the Member may rely on regularly.

In the last-mentioned case and except for gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Company is only liable for the damages which were foreseen or could have been foreseen at the time of conclusion of the contract, within the limits permitted by the regulations applicable towards a consumer. The same applies to breaches of duty by our vicarious agents.

The abovementioned exclusions of liability do not apply in case of damage of life, body and health. In any case, the liability pursuant to the product liability law remains unaffected and if any remains applicable.

Article 13 Force Majeure Event

Neither the Company nor the Member shall be held liable in the case where the breach or delay in the performance of any of their obligations under this Agreement derives from a force majeure event within the meaning of Article 1218 of the French Civil Code.

Article 14 Contact Method

Contact from the Member to the Company will be accepted only if submitted using the inquiry method designated by the Company which is available here. The Member may also contact us by email at the following address: support@eu-pbandai.zendesk.com.

Article 15 Data Protection

The Company is committed to being as open and transparent as possible and to provide the Member with all necessary information about how their Personal Data (as that term is defined in the Privacy Policy) is collected, used and protected related to the membership under this Agreement.
For more information, please read our Privacy Policy which is available here.

Article 16 Scope and Change of Agreement

  1. This Agreement will be applied to use of the Service by the Member; provided, however, that if there are other terms and conditions particularly agreed to in writing by the Company and the Member for any specific aspect of the Service, such terms and conditions will prevail over this Agreement, unless otherwise stated in such a writing.
  2. The Company may update and change this Agreement in a non-material manner by informing the Member thereof in advance with a reasonable notice period. The amendment of this Agreement will then take effect when the revised Agreement is posted on PREMIUM BANDAI, without effect for the sales contracts concluded prior to the change with regard notably to the use of the Service or privileges already in place. It is specified that the Agreement may be kept by anyone visiting PREMIUM BANDAI, by downloading a PDF version of the Agreement by clicking here or by printing it out.

    Regarding the use of the Service for the sales contracts concluded after the change of this Agreement, the revised Agreement will apply. However, the Company will never materially change this Agreement without the prior consent of affected Members.

Article 17 Severability, Interpretation

If any provision of this Agreement or any part thereof is deemed invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction applying applicable laws and regulations, the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the remaining portion of the provision found to be invalid or unenforceable will continue to be fully effective, subject to the hypothesis of the nullity of an essential clause of the Agreement or the interdependence of the contractual stipulations likely to lead to the cancellation of all or part of the Agreement.

Notwithstanding the above, the invalid provision is to be taken as being replaced and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objective of such enforceable or invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or applicable court decisions. The same applies if there is a gap in the provisions of this Agreement.

Article 18 Governing Law, Language

  1. The service and this Agreement will be interpreted in accordance with Japanese law without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. In the event the Member acts as a consumer, this shall only apply to the extent that this does not deprive the Member from its protection by mandatory statutory provisions of the country in which the Member has its habitual place of abode, and under French law the provisions of the French Consumer Code notably.
  2. The contract language is French. In the event that this Agreement is translated into languages other than French, the French-language version will prevail if the Member is a French resident.

Article 19 Dispute Resolution

In the event of any dispute between the Member and the Company deriving from this Agreement, the parties have the possibility to find an amicable solution, in which case the Member is invited to contact the Company.

Please visit here to submit a request to us.

The Member is informed that he has the possibility to resort to any alternative dispute resolution method and in particular to a French mediation procedure by contacting the mediator whose details and website are available on this page.

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution which is available here, that you may access in case of any dispute with the Company.

In any case, any dispute arising out of the formation, conclusion, validity, interpretation, execution or termination of this Membership Agreement and their consequences between the Company and the Member may be submitted by either party to the competent courts in accordance with applicable law.
