  • Repair, replacement and legal guarantee

    We are a professional seller based in Japan. Almost all of the items we sell are used or vintage, and most are one-of-a-kind - we hold only a single unit of each item.



    For consumers habitually resident in an EU Member State - that is, if you are buying mainly for purposes outside your trade, business, craft or profession, and the consumer law of an EU Member State applies to your purchase:




    • If your item has a lack of conformity covered by the applicable legal guarantee, please message us through eBay before returning it. You may choose between repair and replacement. Where the law requires it, the remedy is provided free of the necessary costs to you.


    • Your chosen remedy may not be available if it is impossible, or if compared with the other remedy it would impose disproportionate costs on us. Because our items are used and one-of-a-kind, an identical replacement unit is often not available. If the conditions under the applicable law are met, you may instead be entitled to a proportionate price reduction, or to terminate the purchase and receive a refund. Termination may not be available for a minor lack of conformity.


    • If repair is carried out as the legal remedy, the seller's liability period is normally extended once by at least 12 months. The national law that applies to your purchase may provide a longer period, or a different system giving equivalent protection. We will tell you which rule applies to your purchase, and explain your choice between repair and replacement, before we provide the remedy.



    For buyers outside the European Union: the information above reflects European Union consumer law and applies where that law governs the purchase. Your purchase remains subject to the returns policy shown in this listing, the eBay Money Back Guarantee, and any mandatory rights that apply under the law governing your purchase.
