No refund will be given for mid-session withdrawal or removal due to violations.
Refunds are made in principle via the original payment method; transfer and related fees are borne by the Participant.

Except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence by the Organizer, the Organizer is not liable for damages (bodily injury, property damage, lost profits, etc.) arising in connection with participation.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan.
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Training or these Terms shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the court having jurisdiction over the Organizer’s location as the court of first instance.

In sessions designated by the Organizer as “No-Recording,” any photography, videography, or audio recording by Participants is strictly prohibited.
If recording is discovered in a No-Recording session, data may be deleted and participation may be suspended.

Some portions of the Training are restricted to professionals (e.g., law enforcement, JSDF, security personnel).
For professionals-only sessions, additional proof (e.g., staff ID, service ID, appointment letter) may be required.
