This English translation is provided for reference only. The Japanese version is the authoritative text (Article 25). In case of any discrepancy, the Japanese version prevails.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") set forth the conditions for use of the game "Beast Market" and related services (including Trial Versions, collectively the "Service") provided by [Operator legal name and address — to be finalized] (the "Operator"). You may use the Service only if you agree to these Terms.

Article 1 (Application)

  1. These Terms apply to all relationships between the user and the Operator concerning use of the Service.
  2. The Service is provided through the Steam platform operated by Valve Corporation. Use of Steam is governed by the Steam Subscriber Agreement; with respect to purchases, payments, refunds, and accounts on the Steam platform, the Steam Subscriber Agreement prevails to the extent it conflicts with these Terms.
  3. Individual rules and guidelines posted by the Operator within the Service or on the Official Site ("Individual Provisions") form part of these Terms. If an Individual Provision conflicts with these Terms, these Terms prevail unless the Individual Provision expressly states otherwise.

Article 2 (Definitions)

  1. "User" means an individual who uses the Service after agreeing to these Terms.
  2. "Official Site" means the website concerning the Service operated by the Operator ([URL — to be finalized]).
  3. "Game Data" means all data recorded within the Service, including the user's progress and acquired in-game currency, items, equipment, and monsters.
  4. "In-Game Currency" means currency-like data usable only within the Service. In-Game Currency can be obtained only through playing the Service or when granted by the Operator free of charge. The Operator does not sell In-Game Currency for real-world money.
  5. "Tradable Items" means those items of Game Data designated by the Operator as tradable on the In-Game Market.
  6. "In-Game Market" means the in-Service feature allowing Tradable Items to be bought, sold, or traded for In-Game Currency (including exchange-style trading where the Operator sets prices and stock, and user-to-user trading).
  7. "Trial Versions" means trial, demo, playtest, beta, or other experimental offerings of any name provided before or alongside the full version.

Article 3 (Amendment of Terms)

  1. The Operator may amend these Terms without obtaining individual user consent, pursuant to Article 548-4 of the Civil Code of Japan, where: (i) the amendment conforms to the general interest of users; or (ii) the amendment is not contrary to the purpose of these Terms and is reasonable in light of the necessity of the amendment, the appropriateness of the amended content, and other relevant circumstances.
  2. When making such an amendment, the Operator will set an effective date and announce the fact of the amendment, the amended content, and the effective date, within the Service or on the Official Site, a reasonable period before the effective date.
  3. The amended Terms apply from the effective date. For material amendments, the Operator may additionally request renewed consent through an in-Service confirmation screen.

Article 4 (Accounts and Game Data)

  1. A Steam account is required to use the Service. Game Data is managed on the Operator's servers, linked to the user's Steam account.
  2. The authoritative copy of Game Data is the data on the Operator's servers; in case of discrepancy with the display or records on the user's device, the server data prevails.
  3. Idle (offline) progress and rewards are calculated and finalized on the server based on server time and records. If a client-side estimate differs from the finalized result, the finalized result prevails.
  4. Users must not allow third parties to use their account, nor transfer, sell, or lend it.
  5. If Game Data is lost due to server failure or similar causes, the Operator will make reasonable efforts to restore it but does not guarantee complete restoration.

Article 5 (Use by Minors)

  1. Minors must use the Service with the consent of a parent or other legal guardian. By agreeing to these Terms, a minor represents that such consent has been obtained.
  2. For purchases of paid content, use of Steam Family features or similar guardian controls is recommended.

Article 6 (Special Provisions for Trial Versions)

  1. Trial Versions provide work-in-progress content on an experimental basis; the Operator may change their content or suspend or terminate their provision without notice.
  2. Game Data in Trial Versions is not guaranteed to carry over to the full version or any other environment. The Operator may delete (wipe) all or part of Trial Version Game Data during or at the end of the Trial Version period.
  3. Changes, suspensions, terminations, and deletions under the preceding two paragraphs are a pre-announced part of the Trial Version service and do not in themselves constitute a breach by the Operator. Where the Operator bears liability in connection with them, Article 19 applies.
  4. The Operator may freely use, free of charge, any feedback (bug reports, suggestions, impressions, etc.) provided by users regarding Trial Versions for the development, improvement, and promotion of the Service, and users shall not exercise moral rights in respect of such feedback.

Article 7 (Fees and Purchases)

  1. The basic play of the Service is free. Purchases of paid content such as downloadable content (DLC) are made exclusively through the Steam platform.
  2. Payment, refunds, and cancellation of paid content follow Steam's procedures and policies.
  3. The Operator does not offer, within the Service, the sale of In-Game Currency for real-world money, nor any mechanism whereby items with randomly determined content are provided in exchange for real-world money (so-called paid gacha/loot boxes).

  2. Users acquire only the right to use Game Data within the Service under these Terms and do not acquire ownership or any other property rights.
  3. The Operator does not exchange, refund, or buy back Game Data for cash or any other real-world assets, and does not guarantee its value.

  5. Prices and stock on the In-Game Market may vary based on the Operator's settings or user supply and demand. The Operator does not guarantee the conclusion of transactions at any particular price, liquidity, or stock availability.
  6. Exchanging Game Data for real-world currency, crypto-assets, or any other real-world assets (so-called RMT: real-money trading) is prohibited by any method or route, except through means officially provided by the Operator as a feature of the Service (including trading on the Steam Community Market under Article 9).
  7. For features whose outcomes are randomly determined by consuming In-Game Currency or other in-game resources (rune draws, container openings, etc.), the Operator will display in-game the principal provision rates and the existence and content of any guaranteed thresholds (so-called pity systems), and will update the in-game display when rates change.
  8. Certain features of the Service (prestige/rebirth, dismantling of runes and similar, sale or melting of items, opening of containers, and others designated by the Operator) cause irreversible changes to Game Data when executed. The Operator will not, as a rule, restore or compensate for the results of such operations executed by the user.
  9. The Operator may change the effects, performance, acquisition methods, and provision rates of In-Game Currency and items, and the specifications of the In-Game Market, based on game-balance adjustments, bug fixes, seasonal updates, or other operational needs. The Operator provides no compensation for resulting changes in the in-Service usefulness or rarity of Game Data; provided that, for paid content, the Operator will maintain provision of the content as displayed at the time of purchase, and adjustments will be made within that scope.

Article 9 (Steam Inventory and Community Market)

  1. The Operator may in the future provide a feature whereby, limited to certain items designated by the Operator, Game Data can be issued (exported) as items in the Steam Inventory upon the user's explicit operation. Exports may be subject to restrictions on eligible items, frequency, timing, and similar.
  2. Items in the Steam Inventory and their trading on the Steam Community Market are governed by the Steam Subscriber Agreement and Valve's specifications (including that sale proceeds become Steam Wallet balance and cannot be withdrawn as cash). The Operator may receive fees on such transactions through Valve's systems.
  3. The Operator is not responsible for failures, specification changes, or discontinuation of the Steam Inventory or the Steam Community Market. Even if these are suspended, the Operator will make reasonable efforts to keep the core Service playable.
