1. The Company grants points to members using the methods set out below that are designated by the Company.

1)Three to five days after an accommodation booking is made for APARTMENT HOTEL MIMARU using the website and the accommodation booking has been fulfilled (check-out has been conducted), [the Company] will grant 1,000 points per night of accommodation for that booking (even if two or more rooms are booked in one booking, the number of points granted will be 1,000 points per night of accommodation). If it is confirmed that the accommodation booking in question was canceled or rescinded before the accommodation booking had been fulfilled, points will not be granted.

2)[The Company] will also grant points in other cases where it recognizes that conditions for granting points determined by the Company (“Granting Conditions”) have been satisfied, and those points will be granted after the lapse of a certain period determined by the Company. If during that period the Company confirms that the action in question was deleted, rescinded, invalidated, or the like, points will not be granted.

2. The website for which points are granted, Granting Conditions, the timing for granting of points, the number of points, the effective period for points, and other terms and conditions regarding the granting of points are determined at the Company’s discretion and are notified to members by the prescribed method determined by the Company.

3. Final decisions regarding whether points are to be granted under paragraph 1, the number of points granted, and other matters concerning the granting of points are made by the Company, and the members must comply with these decisions.

Article-7 Use of points

1. Requests to use points must be made by the member in question, and requests may not be made by anyone other than that member.

1)When [points] are used, [the Company] might check whether [the person in question] is a MIMARU FAN (tentative name) member. If the Company confirms using a prescribed method that the user ID and password entered at the time of the use of points match those registered, the Company will deem that points have been used by the member in question.

2)If such an instance constitutes improper use by a third person, the Company will not reimburse the points used and will not be liable for any damage incurred by a member. A member may not combine and use points obtained using multiple MIMARU (tentative name) IDs.

3)A member may not convert points into money under any circumstances.

4)A member may not transfer or lend to a third person any points that member has obtained and holds, create a security on those points for the benefit of a third person, or take any other similar action, and those points are only valid with respect to that member.

5)A member may apply points at the rate of 1 yen per point to the payment of all or a portion of the accommodation booking charge when booking accommodation on the website (the applicable scope for that charge is designated separately by the Company; that payment, “Settlement”).

6)If a member completes Settlement without using points, then after that Settlement the member may not make any request to the Company or the counterparty to the transaction in question in relation to the use of points [for that Settlement].

7)The Company might limit services, products, and the like subject to the use of points, apply terms and conditions to the use of points (including setting an upper limit for the number of points that may be used for Settlement), and take other similar actions.

2.The Japanese yen exchange rate at a point in time stipulated by the Company will be adopted as the exchange rate for the use of points, and any fraction of less than one Japanese yen will be rounded down. The Company will not be liable for any disadvantage or advantage arising as a result [of the treatment] of fractions of less than one Japanese yen under the exchange rate.

3.If a member uses any points in a Settlement and the transaction in question is subsequently canceled, the points used in that transaction will be reimbursed, but those points will not be reimbursed as cash.

4.Even if the use of points is rescinded, in some cases those points may not be used [again], such as in a case where the effective period of those points has elapsed or where other terms and conditions for use prescribed by the Company apply.

5.A member may, by a method designated by the Company, exchange points granted to that member for certain rewards, etc. or make a donation of those points (an “Exchange” or a “Donation,” respectively). The Company might establish on the website the rewards, etc. for which an Exchange may be made or the recipients of a Donation. Details of rewards, etc., the method of Exchange, and the like will be notified to members by a method determined by the Company.

6.Types and details of rewards, etc., the number of points for which an Exchange may be made, other terms and conditions for the Exchange of points, types of Donation recipients, and points required to make Donations will be determined by the Company, and the Company may, at its discretion, newly create, amend, or terminate provisions related to such matters.

Article-8 Rescission of points
