国際日本武道直心会

We realize that most visitors are either members of the Jikishin-Kai or prospective members, so we care about the quality and security of your use of this website and strongly desire to maintain your trust. Despite the precautions we have taken it is possible that problems can arise as a result of your use of our website.  For instance, you may encounter broken links, incorrect information, content errors, links that have been redirected or misdirected to websites whose content you would find objectionable or possibly harmful, or viruses and other malware that could potentially harm your computer.

Just as there are practical limits to the steps we can take to minimize the possibilities of errors, omissions, and malicious actions by other visitors to the site, there are also practical limitations to our responsibility and liability for any inconvenience or harm you may experience as a result.

We believe that understanding both our precautions and the limitations of those precautions will help you to exercise sound judgment in the protection of your interests and property. Therefore, in this document we provide a description of the terms and conditions under which we are permitting your use of this website and our liability to you.  If you are unwilling to accept these terms and conditions, then you are not authorized or permitted to use this website and any further use is entirely at your own risk.  By using this website you are expressly agreeing to all the terms and conditions stated on this Legal Notices page and our Privacy Page.  If this is not acceptable to you, please exit this website now.

This Policy applies only to services provided and information collected on this Jikishin-Kai website. It does not apply to the policies and practices of any other sites or vendors to which we link from this site, or whose services we may use in providing services to you.

Warranty Disclaimer.  The information and materials on websites maintained by the Jikishin-Kai International (“JKI”) are provided "AS IS" and without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. The JKI does not warrant that the functions contained in the websites will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that this website or the server that makes it available are free of viruses or other harmful components. The JKI does not warrant or make any representations regarding the use or the results of the use of the materials on this website in terms of their correctness, accuracy, reliability, or otherwise. You (and not the JKI) assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair, or correction arising out of the use of the materials. Links to other sites can be accessed through this website. Websites accessed using those links contain information created, published, maintained or otherwise posted by people and organizations independent of the JKI and over which the JKI exercises no control or direction. Such links are provided as a convenience to users and their inclusion on this website does not endorse, approve, or certify any information, product, or service referenced or provided at such addresses.

Limitation of Liability.  While the JKI uses reasonable efforts to include accurate and up-to-date information on its websites, errors or omissions may occur. The JKI makes no warranties or representations as to the accuracy of this website. Under no circumstances including, but not limited to, negligence by act or omission, shall the JKI or any party involved in creating, producing, maintaining, or delivering its websites be liable for any direct, incidental, consequential, indirect, or punitive damages that result from the use of, or the inability to use, the materials on this website, even if the JKI or its authorized representative has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In no event shall the JKI's total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action exceed the amount paid by you to the JKI for accessing its websites.

 The JKI assumes no responsibility and shall not be liable for any damages to, or malicious software that may infect, your computer equipment or other property on account of your access to, use of, or browsing in its websites or your downloading of any materials, data, text, images, video, or audio from its websites.
