Article 7-2 (Use of Entry Tickets)
-
A member may be issued Entry Tickets through the purchase of goods or services within the Service, participation in events, or the performance of other activities designated by the Company. Issued Entry Tickets belong to the Round in progress at the time of issuance; the conditions, quantity, and method of issuance are announced on each purchase screen or event page.
-
Entry Tickets are granted by the Company to members free of charge, have no monetary value, are not redeemable or refundable in cash or any equivalent, and may not be transferred to third parties or provided as collateral.
-
Entry Tickets held by a member are automatically entered into the draw for the Round to which they belong at that Round's closing date and time, without any separate application. Members need take no further action to enter, and may not enter only part of the Entry Tickets they hold or defer entry.
-
The validity period of an Entry Ticket runs until the closing date and time of the Round to which it belongs. Entry Tickets are used for automatic entry under paragraph 3 upon closing of the Round and thereby expire; they are not carried over to the next Round regardless of the draw result.
-
The Company gives advance notice of the start date and time, closing date and time, draw date, and method of announcing winners for each Round on the relevant event page. Members may check the quantity of Entry Tickets held, the Round to which they belong, and their entry history within the Service.
-
Where a purchase of goods or services or participation in an event through which Entry Tickets were issued is cancelled, the Entry Tickets are handled as follows.
- Where cancellation occurs before the close of the relevant Round: the Company reclaims the Entry Tickets.
- Where cancellation occurs after the close of the relevant Round: the Company may treat the entry made with those Entry Tickets as void and, where a prize has already been won, may cancel the win and demand the return of any prize delivered.
-
Where the Entry Tickets to be reclaimed under paragraph 6 are insufficient or cannot be reclaimed, the Company may demand from the member payment of an amount equivalent to the shortfall or to the value of the prize delivered.
-
Where a member is issued Entry Tickets or enters a draw by any of the following methods, the Company may reclaim or void those Entry Tickets and cancel the resulting entry and any win.
- Misappropriating another person's name or information, or creating duplicate accounts
- Using automated programs or other methods not provided by the Company
- Repeatedly purchasing and cancelling for the purpose of acquiring Entry Tickets, or other conduct that cannot be regarded as a normal transaction
- Any other conduct violating applicable law or these Terms
-
Where a member withdraws from membership or the service agreement is terminated before the close of a Round, the Entry Tickets held by the member expire immediately and are excluded from automatic entry, and are not restored even upon re-registration. Where a member withdraws from membership or the service agreement is terminated after the close of a Round but before the announcement of winners or delivery of prizes, the win and the delivery of the prize may be cancelled.
-
The draw method, number of winners, content of prizes, announcement of winners, method of prize delivery, and other details of each Round are as determined on the relevant event page. Where a prize is a good or service provided by an Individual Service Operator, responsibility for its provision and performance belongs to that Individual Service Operator pursuant to Article 4.
-
Where taxes and public charges arise under applicable law in connection with receipt of a prize, the party bearing them and the method of handling are announced on the relevant event page.
-
The Company may change or terminate the Entry Ticket service, in which case it will give prior notice in accordance with Article 7, paragraphs 3 and 4. Provided that, as a rule, a Round already commenced will proceed to its scheduled closing date and time and the draw will be completed; where a Round in progress is suspended for unavoidable reasons, the Company will announce the reasons and take measures to protect members' interests, such as carrying over the Entry Tickets held by members to the next Round.
-
Precautions regarding the use of Entry Tickets — including their validity period, the disadvantages of acquiring or using Entry Tickets by improper means, the draw method, and the criteria for announcing winners — are permanently posted at the bottom of each Round's event participation screen. Detailed operational matters concerning the issuance, accrual, and use of Entry Tickets follow the operating policy separately established by the Company.
-
Where the value of a prize provided by the Company exceeds the threshold for the imposition of taxes and public charges under the Income Tax Act or other applicable law, or where physical delivery of a prize is required, the Company may separately collect, at the time winners are announced and as prescribed by applicable law, the minimum personal information necessary for delivery of the prize (resident registration number, delivery address information, etc.).
