Terms and Conditions

1 About this Website and Scope

This website is operated by OCCDesign Co., Ltd., a company based in Japan. It provides general corporate information about OCCDesign and its services, including recruitment and employment-related services, technical-job platforms, Japanese-language services, and other business activities.

These Terms apply only to this corporate website. Separate websites, platforms, applications, courses, recruitment services, job portals, or other services linked from this website may have their own terms, privacy policies, application conditions, contracts, or service rules. If separate terms apply, those separate terms govern the relevant service.

2 Informational Nature of the Website

Content on this website is provided for general information and initial enquiry purposes. Unless expressly stated otherwise in a separate written agreement, information on the website does not constitute a binding offer, employment promise, recruitment guarantee, placement guarantee, training admission guarantee, quotation, or professional advice.

Submitting an enquiry, contact form, email, or telephone request does not by itself create a contract with OCCDesign. Any service engagement, recruitment arrangement, employment placement, worker dispatch arrangement, course enrolment, or commercial transaction may require separate screening, confirmation, documentation, fees, and written terms.

3 Eligibility and Lawful Use

You may use the website only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of OCCDesign or any other person.

• Do not submit false, misleading, defamatory, unlawful, or fraudulent information.
• Do not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, servers, forms, databases, or security systems.
• Do not introduce malware, harmful code, automated attacks, scraping that materially disrupts the website, or other technology intended to damage or interfere with the website.
• Do not reproduce, copy, sell, republish, or commercially exploit website content except where permitted by law or with prior written permission.
• Do not impersonate another person or use another person's contact information without lawful authority.

4 Enquiries and Information You Submit

When submitting an enquiry, you should provide accurate and up-to-date information. You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to provide any information contained in your message.

Please do not include unnecessary sensitive or confidential information in a general website enquiry. OCCDesign may use the information you submit to respond to your enquiry, route it to the appropriate team or group company where permitted, and maintain reasonable records of the communication, as described in the Japan Privacy Policy.

5 Recruitment, Employment Placement and Worker Dispatch Information

Any recruitment, employment placement, worker dispatch, candidate introduction, or related information displayed on the website is subject to applicable Japanese laws, licensing requirements, service conditions, candidate or client eligibility, and separate agreements where required.

OCCDesign does not guarantee that a particular candidate will be hired, that a vacancy will remain available, or that an employer will make an offer. Final hiring and employment decisions are made by the relevant parties subject to applicable law.

6 Japanese-Language and Other Training Information

Information about Japanese-language training or other educational services is general information unless confirmed through the relevant service. Course content, teachers, schedules, fees, eligibility, availability, and cancellation or rescheduling rules may be governed by separate service-specific terms.

7 Accuracy, Availability and Changes

OCCDesign aims to keep website information accurate and reasonably up to date, but information may change without immediate website revision. To the extent permitted by law, OCCDesign does not warrant that all content will always be complete, current, error-free, uninterrupted, or available.

OCCDesign may modify, suspend, discontinue, or reorganize website content or functionality when reasonably necessary, including for maintenance, security, compliance, or business reasons.

8 Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, text, graphics, logos, layouts, branding, documents, photographs, and other content on this website are owned by or licensed to OCCDesign and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Personal, non-commercial viewing of the website is permitted. Any other use requires permission unless permitted by law.

9 Third-Party Links and Separate Services

The website may link to third-party sites or separate OCCD/OCCDesign group services. External websites are operated under their own policies and controls. OCCDesign is not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, or privacy practices merely because a link is provided.

10 Privacy and Personal Information

Personal information submitted through the website is handled in accordance with the Japan Privacy Policy and applicable Japanese data-protection requirements, including the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI), as amended.

11 Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including rights or remedies that are mandatory under applicable Japanese law.

Subject to the preceding paragraph and to the extent permitted by law, OCCDesign will not be responsible for indirect or consequential loss arising solely from the use of, inability to use, or reliance on general website information, where OCCDesign has not caused such loss through intent or gross negligence.

12 Security and Misuse

OCCDesign may take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the website and may restrict access where necessary to prevent abuse, security incidents, unlawful activity, or material disruption.

13 Changes to These Terms

OCCDesign may update these Terms when reasonably necessary due to changes in the website, services, law, security requirements, or business operations. The updated version will be posted on the website with a revised effective or last-updated date. Material changes will be handled in accordance with applicable law.

14 Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan, without prejudice to any mandatory rights available to users under applicable law. Any dispute should first be raised with OCCDesign so that the parties can attempt to resolve it in good faith. Where a valid jurisdiction agreement is permitted, the Yokohama District Court will be the agreed court of first instance.
