1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Nipponhomes ("nipponhomes.com", "the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Nipponhomes is a real estate listing aggregation platform that provides English-language access to Japanese property listings. We aggregate publicly available listing data from Japanese real estate websites and present it with translations, analytics, and search tools. Nipponhomes is not a real estate agency and does not directly sell, lease, or manage properties.

3. User Accounts

To access certain features, you must create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information when creating your account and to update it as necessary.

4. Agent-Client Relationships

Nipponhomes allows real estate agents ("Owners") to manage property shortlists for their clients. By accepting an agent-client relationship on the platform, you agree to the following:

Property sharing: Your assigned agent can add properties to your shared list, and you may add properties as well. Both parties can view all properties on the shared list.
Saved properties visibility: When you save or favorite a property, your assigned agent may be able to view your saved properties to better assist you in your property search.
Communication: Agents and clients can exchange messages on individual properties within the platform.
Multiple agents: Multiple agents may collaborate on your property list if authorized by your primary agent.

You may revoke this access at any time by contacting your agent or our support team. Revoking access will not delete data that was previously shared.

5. Subscriptions and Payments

Nipponhomes offers free and paid subscription plans. Paid subscriptions are billed through Stripe. By subscribing to a paid plan, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your dashboard. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period.

6. Listing Data and Accuracy

Property listings displayed on Nipponhomes are aggregated from third-party sources. While we strive to keep information accurate and up-to-date, we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or availability of any listing. Translations are generated using AI and may contain errors. Always verify property details directly with the listing source or a qualified real estate professional before making any decisions.
