Terms of Service

These Sanka Service Terms of Use (hereinafter referred to as the “Terms”) set forth the terms and conditions for the use and subscription of the sales management service “Sanka” (hereinafter referred to as the “Service”), which is provided by Sanka (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”), based on applications submitted by customers (hereinafter referred to as the “Customer”).

If separate terms or individual agreements (hereinafter referred to as the “Individual Terms”) are established for the Service, the Customer shall use the Service in accordance with both these Terms and the Individual Terms. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and the Individual Terms, the Individual Terms shall prevail.

The Company may amend these Terms and the Individual Terms pursuant to Article 548-4 of the Japanese Civil Code, provided that such amendment does not contravene the purpose of the agreements governed by these Terms, and is reasonable in light of the necessity, appropriateness, and other relevant circumstances. Upon amendment, all matters relating to the Service, including fees, shall be governed by the amended Terms.

The Service is an online platform designed to improve business efficiency. Due to the nature of the Service, the Company does not guarantee that it will operate continuously and without malfunction in any environment.

Sanka separately establishes the Sanka Privacy Policy, which describes the collection and use of personal data.
