Toyosaburo Kondo Architectural Design Archive — Terms of Use

Effective date: July 13, 2026

This is an English translation of the original Japanese Terms of Use, provided for reference. In the event of any discrepancy between this translation and the Japanese original, the Japanese version shall govern.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") set out the conditions of the transaction between Masayuki Iida (sole proprietor, the "Operator"), who operates the "Toyosaburo Kondo Architectural Design Archive" (the "Site"), and customers who purchase image data through the Site (the "Purchaser"). By completing a purchase of image data on the Site, the Purchaser is deemed to have agreed to these Terms.

Article 1 (What the Site Provides)

The Site is a service through which drawings, sketches, and other image data (the "Work Data") created by architectural designer Toyosaburo Kondo may be purchased individually or as part of a bulk purchase plan. After payment is completed, the Purchaser may download the Work Data via a dedicated link issued at that time.

Article 2 (Copyright)

1. Copyright and all other intellectual property rights in the Work Data belong to Toyosaburo Kondo and the Operator, and are not transferred to the Purchaser.
2. What the Purchaser acquires is a license to use the Work Data within the scope set out in Article 3, not ownership of the copyright or the Work Data itself.

Article 3 (Scope of Use)

The Purchaser may use purchased Work Data within the following scope:

• Use as reference material in the Purchaser's own business, including internal documents, proposals, and client presentations;
• Presentation of such proposals or presentations to the Purchaser's own clients or other third parties;
• Introduction or citation on social media, provided the source (Toyosaburo Kondo Architectural Design Archive) is credited.

Article 4 (Prohibited Acts)

The Purchaser may not do any of the following with respect to the Work Data:

• Redistribute, resell, lend, or share the Work Data itself, or a lightly modified version of it, with any third party (whether for payment or free of charge);
• Register or submit the Work Data to any third-party stock-image distribution or sales service;
• Publish or file all or part of the Work Data as the Purchaser's own creative work (including design registrations or trademark applications);
• Use the Work Data in any manner that damages the reputation or credibility of Toyosaburo Kondo or the Operator;
• Use the Work Data for any purpose that violates applicable law.

Article 5 (Downloads)

1. Download links issued after payment are valid for 24 hours and may be used up to 5 times.
2. If you require a new link after expiry or after reaching the download limit, please contact us at the address below. The Operator may reissue a link at its discretion where a reasonable reason is provided.
3. In addition to a renamed file, downloaded data contains an invisible identifier that can identify the Purchaser. If unauthorized copying, resale, or redistribution is discovered, this information will be used to identify the source of the purchase.

Article 6 (Refunds)

As the Work Data is downloadable digital content, refunds are not available in principle once a purchase has been completed. This does not apply where a download could not be completed due to a system failure or other cause attributable to the Operator.

Article 7 (Response to Violations)

If a Purchaser violates the prohibited acts set out in Article 4, the Operator may suspend future sales to that Purchaser, seek compensation for damages incurred, and take any other legal action it deems necessary.

Article 8 (Disclaimer)

The Operator does not warrant that the Work Data is suitable for any particular purpose of the Purchaser, or that a particular use will not infringe the rights of any third party. The Operator is not liable for any dispute arising between the Purchaser and a third party in connection with the use of the Work Data.

Article 9 (Changes to These Terms)

The Operator may change these Terms at its discretion without prior notice to Purchasers. The revised Terms take effect once posted on the Site.

Article 10 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction)

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. Any dispute arising in connection with the Site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the court having jurisdiction over the location of the Operator as the court of first instance.
