4. Use of the Service

(A) License and Registration:

Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-sub-licensable, revocable, license to use the Service solely for your personal, noncommercial use, and as set forth in this Agreement, provided that (a) you will not alter or modify any part of the Service other than as may be reasonably necessary to use the Service for its intended purpose, (b) you will not copy, distribute, or disclose any part of the Service in any medium, and (c) you will otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Company may revoke this license at any time, and in its sole discretion. Upon such revocation, you must promptly destroy all materials downloaded or otherwise obtained from the Service, as well as all copies of such materials, whether made in accordance with these Terms of Use or otherwise.

In order to access certain features of the Service, such as purchasing a ticket for the AOT Party, registration with Company will be required and you will need to create an AOT Party account or other user account or profile (referred to herein as a "Member"). Your Member account gives you access to the services and functionality that we may establish and maintain from time to time and in our sole discretion.

(B) Tickets, Merchandise and Other Online Sales:

In order to purchase tickets for the AOT Party, attend related events and purchase merchandise, digital items or other items or content through the Service, you must register as a Member. We anticipate that tickets for the AOT Party will go on sale starting September 12, 2023, unless otherwise posted on the Service, and will remain on sale for the fixed period of time stated on our Service. We may offer different categories of tickets, such as "early bird" and "normal" tickets, which will be subject to the terms and conditions posted by us on the Service. We intend to shut down the AOT Party website once all merchandise and other items that have been purchased have been sent, currently anticipated to be March 31, 2024, unless we post otherwise on the Service.

Tickets and inventory for some items may be limited, and popular tickets or other items with limited inventory may sell out quickly. Only one ticket purchase per Member is allowed and you may not transfer a ticket to another Member or Member account. You may also be limited to a certain number or amount of other items, as may be posted during the purchase process.

All purchases through the Service will be in Japanese yen. We may also provide approximate purchase prices in U.S. dollars for your information and convenience, although such information is only an estimate since settlement with respect to all purchases will be in Japanese yen and based on the exchange rate for the Japanese yen purchase price listed at the time of purchase. We may change prices offered for tickets, merchandise, digital items or other items or content at any time in our discretion.

Purchases of tickets, merchandise and other items cannot be exchanged for other items and are non-refundable, except as expressly stated in these Terms of Use or any other terms we may post. All purchases are non-refundable unless terms we post for a particular purchase state otherwise. Tickets and digital items purchased cannot be used after the AOT Party and will not be refunded, regardless of whether or not you used them. However, if we cancel merchandise or other product sale for our convenience, we will refund you the purchase price. If we cancel or postpone an event for which you have purchased a ticket, we may, upon your request, exchange your ticket for an item of approximately the same value or provide another substitute. In the event of a refund you the purchase price for the ticket, although we may retain an administration fee in the amount of up to 20% of the purchase price.

If you do not receive a confirmation (in the form of a confirmation page or email) after making a purchase, or if you experience an error message or service interruption after submitting payment information, it is your responsibility to confirm with our customer support team whether or not your order has been placed.
