In the event that an order could not be delivered even though it was sent to the shipping address you specified, the Company will bear no responsibility. If you would like to have the order re-shipped, then you should pay the actual, full price of the shipping costs, etc.

The sending of an Order Confirmation email by the Company is for the purpose of confirming the contents of your application to enter into a contract with the Company, and does not mean that the Company has approved your application to enter into said contract.
In the event that one or more items ordered as part of an order are out of stock, the equivalent cost of the out-of-stock items will be deducted from the settlement amount and the order will be shipped without prior notification. Additionally, even if the item comes into stock after the order has shipped, the Company is unable to ship the item as a supplement to your previous order. Please make a new order for the item.
Order contents (such as size, color, or quantity) and the shipping address information cannot be changed once the order has been placed. Orders cannot be cancelled or changed in any way once they have been submitted.

In the event that you refuse to accept the delivery of an order, or if an order is returned to the Company after the retention period at the post office has passed after failed delivery attempts, the cost of returning the item to the Company will be deducted from the cost of the items when making the refund, and will not be returned to you. Further, if the cost of returning the item to the Company is more than the value of the items, you must pay that difference to the Company.
The amount charged to you will be the total sum of the merchandise plus the shipping and handling charges.
