Terms of Service

1. Acceptable use

This website is provided for general information about Kelp Path Field's advisory services and to facilitate initial contact. You may use it only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these terms. The following uses are not permitted:

• Using the contact form to submit unsolicited commercial communications or automated messages.
• Attempting to gain unauthorised access to any part of the website or its underlying infrastructure.
• Reproducing, distributing or republishing content from this site without written permission.
• Using the site in any way that could damage its reputation or mislead others as to an association with Kelp Path Field.

2. Website content is not legal advice

The information published on this website is provided for general orientation only. It does not constitute legal advice on any specific situation, and no lawyer-client relationship is formed by reading it or by submitting a contact enquiry.

A formal engagement begins only when Kelp Path Field has confirmed a written scope of work and that scope has been accepted by you. Until that point, no professional obligations have arisen on either side.

3. Service access and availability

• Kelp Path Field does not guarantee continuous or uninterrupted availability of this website. Maintenance, technical issues or circumstances outside our control may result in temporary unavailability.
• The scope, pricing and availability of advisory services may change. Current information is provided in good faith but may be updated without prior notice.
• Kelp Path Field reserves the right to decline any enquiry or engagement without providing a reason, subject to applicable professional obligations.
• Geographic restrictions may apply. Services are primarily offered in connection with matters governed by Japanese law.

4. Accounts and access credentials

This website does not currently require account creation for general use. Where a matter is opened and any secure document exchange or client portal access is provided:

• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any access credentials provided to you.
• Access must not be shared with third parties without Kelp Path Field's written consent.
• Any suspected unauthorised access must be reported to us promptly via the contact form.

5. Intellectual property

• All content on this website — including text, structure and visual design — is the property of Kelp Path Field and may not be reproduced without permission.
• Written outputs delivered to you as part of a formal engagement are provided for your use in connection with the matter described in the agreed scope. They may not be distributed or republished without Kelp Path Field's written consent.
• Any materials you provide to Kelp Path Field during an engagement remain your property. We use them only for the purpose of carrying out the agreed work.

6. Modifications to these terms

Kelp Path Field may update these Terms of Service from time to time. The date shown at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the website following an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

7. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Japan. Any dispute arising in connection with them will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Yokohama, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
