1. Sekaimen, managed by Shovice Pte. Ltd. on behalf of Alpha Japan Co., Ltd., handles the management of product payments and logistics. We provides an online platform for proxy bidding and purchasing (collecting and paying) goods from foreign sellers under the members' personal names (website: https://www.sekaimon.com.sg, hereinafter referred to as "the Service"). Therefore, the relationship between Sekaimen and its members is that of an agent under civil law, not a trustee.
2. Members are required to carefully read these terms. By using Sekaimen, members indicate that they have read, understood, and agree to accept these terms, as well as the related provisions and descriptions on the website, which form part of these terms. If members disagree, they should immediately stop using the Service. Members under 18 year old must also obtain the consent of their parents (legal guardians) after reading and understanding these terms. Continuing to use Sekaimen implies that the members' parents (or guardians) have read, understood, and agree to all the terms.
3. Sekaimen assists members with customs clearance for imported goods. Members are the taxpayers responsible for any customs duties, Goods and Services taxes, and sales taxes required for customs declaration.
1. Sekaimen provides a platform for proxy bidding and purchasing (collecting and paying) to facilitate members' shopping. Members may browse or link to other websites operated by other businesses, but these sites have no relation to Sekaimen. Websites operated by other businesses are their responsibility and not covered by Sekaimen. Sekaimen does not guarantee the suitability, reliability, timeliness, effectiveness, accuracy, or completeness of search results. Sekaimen is not responsible for any warranties when members use the Service or link to other websites to obtain information, software, or suggestions. Members should independently assess and judge the appropriateness, effectiveness, accuracy, completeness, and potential infringement of others' rights before downloading software or data to avoid losses (e.g., damage to the member's computer system or loss of stored data). Sekaimen is not liable for such losses.
2. Sekaimen conducts proxy bidding on the Japanese Yahoo! Auctions website on behalf of members. Once the bid is successful, Sekaimen will collect the winning bid amount and service fee from the member and pay the foreign seller or individual in the member's name. The product will then be shipped to Singapore by Shovice Pte. Ltd. using international logistics companies and delivered to the member's specified location (if self-pickup is required, please notify in advance, and Sekaimen will inform the pickup location). However, Sekaimen does not assume responsibility for product defects or counterfeit items. Sekaimen only provides assistance with after-sales service and repairs but does not handle related matters. Members must consider these conditions before authorizing Sekaimen to place bids.
3. Internet fraud and product loss compensation guarantee: To ensure members' online shopping safety, the company offers a full compensation system for internet fraud. If the Japanese seller or foreign merchant's negative ratings exceed 2% of the total ratings or if the foreign merchant is new, Sekaimen cannot provide any compensation or claims to the member. Members should pay attention to the seller's ratings as a reference before bidding. Members should personally judge whether branded products are counterfeit, as Sekaimen cannot verify authenticity on behalf of the members. Think carefully before bidding.
Members must comply with the laws of Singapore and relevant international internet conventions when using the Service. Members must not use the Service for illegal purposes or in any illegal manner, nor infringe on the rights of others or engage in illegal or improper conduct.
