Website Terms of Use

These Website Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the wisledge.co website (the "Site"), operated by Wisledge LLC ("Wisledge," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms apply only to your use of the Site itself; they are not a services agreement. By using the Site, you agree to these Terms.

1. About this Site

The Site describes Wisledge's Japan market-entry consulting services, including the Japan Entry Diagnostic, Japanese Sales & Support Desk, Alliance & BD, Demand Generation, Brand & Content, Localization, and B2B Merchant of Record offerings. Content on the Site is provided for general informational purposes and does not itself create a service engagement.

2. No engagement by browsing

Viewing this Site, submitting a Contact form enquiry, or requesting a diagnostic does not create a client relationship, a professional advisory relationship, or any obligation on either party. Nothing on the Site constitutes a proposal, offer, or professional opinion addressed to your specific circumstances. A services relationship with Wisledge begins only once a separate, signed engagement agreement (or statement of work) is in place, which will set out scope, fees, and terms specific to that engagement.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site or its underlying systems
• Submit false or misleading information through any form on the Site
• Scrape, copy, or republish Site content for commercial purposes without permission

4. Intellectual property

The Site's text, graphics, logos, and other content are owned by Wisledge or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may view and share Site content for personal, non-commercial reference, but may not reproduce, modify, or distribute it without our prior written consent.

5. Third-party links and tools

The Site may link to, or rely on, third-party services such as Netlify (hosting) and HubSpot (forms and communications). We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of third-party services. See our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy for how these tools process data and use cookies.

6. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including as to accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. Nothing on the Site constitutes legal, tax, immigration, or financial advice; you should seek independent professional advice relevant to your own circumstances before making business decisions.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Wisledge will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Wisledge's total liability arising out of or relating to your use of the Site will not exceed one hundred US dollars (US$100). Nothing in these Terms limits liability for intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain liability limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

8. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court (or, where applicable, the Tokyo Summary Court), which has jurisdiction over Wisledge's registered office in Japan, except where mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence provides otherwise.

9. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
