Terms of Service

1. Operator and definitions

“Operator” means ZERO EDUCATION&ARTS Co., Ltd., represented by Kenji Naito, Representative Director (contact: contact form). “Service” means ZERO-1 EXPO FUKUOKA, including its websites, profiles, QR sharing, notifications and event information.

2. Eligibility and accounts

• You must provide accurate information and keep your account secure.
• You may register with Google sign-in or with an email address and a verification code. Google sign-in is supplied through Google. Verification emails are sent using Resend.
• Users under 18 should discuss use of the Service with a parent or legal guardian.
• Do not share credentials or allow another person to use your account.

3. Profiles and public information

The ZERO LINK student directory is available only to logged-in users. A student is listed only when they choose to be included; whether their face photo is displayed is confirmed separately. You decide which other profile fields, avatar, links, roles and biography are published. Do not publish another person’s information, confidential information, or content that you lack permission to use. The Operator may hide or remove content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

4. User content and licence

You retain rights in content you submit. You grant the Operator a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, resize, convert to WebP, display and technically distribute that content only to operate, secure and improve the Service. This licence ends when the content is deleted, except for copies retained for backups, legal compliance or dispute prevention.

5. Event information and external services

Timetables, venue information, maps, calendar files and external links are provided for convenience and may change. Google Maps, calendar providers, hosting, storage, database and analytics providers are third-party services governed by their own terms. The Service does not guarantee availability, route accuracy, calendar registration or uninterrupted operation.

6. Prohibited conduct

• Illegal, fraudulent, abusive, threatening, discriminatory or harmful conduct.
• Impersonation, unauthorised access, scraping, excessive requests, malware or interference with the Service.
• Infringing copyright, privacy, publicity or other rights.
• Using the Service for advertising, solicitation or profiling without permission.

7. Suspension and deletion

We may restrict, suspend or terminate access when necessary for security, maintenance, legal compliance or a material breach. You may stop using the Service and request account deletion through settings or our contact form. Deletion by the Operator does not remove copies that other people have already lawfully shared.

8. Intellectual property

The Service, its software, design, trademarks and original materials belong to the Operator or its licensors. These Terms grant you a limited, non-transferable right to use the Service for its intended purpose.

9. Disclaimers and liability

To the extent permitted by law, the Service is provided on an “as available” basis. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded, including liability for intentional misconduct or gross negligence. The Operator is not responsible for third-party services, user content, network failures or events beyond its reasonable control.

10. Changes and governing law

We may update these Terms by posting the revised version and its effective date. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. Japanese law governs these Terms, and the Tokyo District Court has exclusive first-instance jurisdiction, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

12. Universe Coins

Universe Coins may be used only within the EXPO venue. They cannot be exchanged for cash or other points, or refunded, and may not be transferred to another user. All Universe Coins expire when the EXPO ends on October 17, 2026. The Operator may invalidate Universe Coins obtained by improper means at its discretion.
