All are fixed totals and include Japanese consumption tax when applicable. - Costs outside the price
- Bank transfer fees and the client's provider, API, VPS, SaaS, or other external-service charges. Any additional charge is stated before contract agreement.
- Payment method
- Direct engagements: bank transfer, Wise where offered, or PayPal. If an engagement began through a marketplace, the contract and payment remain on that marketplace.
- Payment timing
- By the date stated in the quote, agreement, and invoice; other services are normally paid before work starts. The USD 750 Paid Feasibility Pilot is 50% (USD 375) before work starts and 50% (USD 375) before handoff.
- Target delivery
- After required materials and scoped access are received: error triage within 1 business day; monthly maintenance review within 5 business days; async diagnostic within 3 business days; design review within 5 business days; n8n Paid Feasibility Pilot within 3–5 business days; small implementation within 10 business days. The actual date is confirmed before contract agreement.
- Inquiry and contract formation
- Submitting an inquiry is not an application and does not create a contract. A contract is formed only after both parties review the written scope, exclusions, price, delivery date, and acceptance conditions, and the client accepts them.
- Diagnostic materials
- Do not attach workflow JSON, execution history, or error screenshots to the first inquiry. Sanitization, transfer method, retention, and accidental-receipt handling are described in the privacy terms (Japanese).
- Cancellation
- No charge before contract formation. After formation but before work starts, the amount received is refunded. After work starts, completed work and incurred external costs are deducted; any remainder is refunded. The client bears the return-transfer fee.
- After delivery
- Because these are services, returns are unavailable after delivery and acceptance. Error triage includes one written question submitted within 3 days. Monthly maintenance and the async diagnostic include one written question submitted within 7 days. Monthly maintenance does not renew automatically. A design review includes one 30-minute response meeting. The implementation pack includes correction of in-scope defects reported within 14 days; added specifications and provider changes require a separate quote.
- Quote validity
- 14 days from issue unless the quote states another expiry date.
