(Scope of Application)
The ResReserve Terms of Use (hereinafter referred to as “Terms of Use”) shall apply to all users of the Service. User shall be deemed to have agreed to these Terms of Use by using the Service, and shall have an obligation to faithfully comply with these Terms of Use.
(The content of the Service)

2. The content and specifications of the Service may be subject to change without prior notice.
(Reservation and Use of Restaurants)
1. Reservations for restaurants are considered complete when users, through the prescribed method provided by the Service, complete the reservation process for the Restaurant and receive a notification of the reservation completion on the Service Website. After a reservation is confirmed, Ikyu will promptly send a reservation completion email to the user’s designated email address, containing details of the reservation. Users are expected to check and agree to any cancellation policies and other usage conditions of the Restaurant in advance.
2. Reservations at the Restaurant made using the Service are considered as agreements between the user and the Restaurant. All matters related to the provision of food and beverages to the user based on such reservations, user’s payment, and other matters related to the use of Restaurant are to be handled directly between the user and the Restaurant, and Ikyu does not get involved in these transactions.
-2(Entering credit card information when making a restaurant reservation)
1. Within the course plans of Restaurants available for reservation in this Service, there are some that require the entry of credit card information at the time of reservation. If the user is unable to enter credit card information or if the entered credit card information is invalid or the credit limit cannot be secured, the user will not be able to make a reservation for that particular course plan.
2. The entry of credit card information as mentioned in the preceding paragraph is carried out for the purpose of settling cancellation fees in cases where the user cancels the reservation at a time when cancellation fees are incurred (including cases of No-Show as defined in the Article 4.2). Since it is not for the settlement of the course plan’s cost, the user must pay the cost of the course plan at the Restaurant on the day of use. Furthermore, if the user does not cancel and uses the Restaurant, the settlement will not be made using the entered credit card information, and the credit limit that had been reserved will be released.
3. The credit card information that can be entered must be in the name of the user themselves, and the entry of another person’s credit card information, the entry of false credit card information, or other fraudulent activities are prohibited. Ikyu or the Restaurants may demand compensation from the user for any damages incurred as a result of such fraudulent activities.
4. In the event that the credit card company refuses the use of the credit card information entered by the user for any reason, or if Ikyu determines that it constitutes fraudulent behavior as described in the previous paragraph, Ikyu or the Restaurants may, without obtaining the user’s consent, cancel the reservation or take other necessary measures. Furthermore, in such cases, even if the user incurs any damages, Ikyu and the Restaurants shall bear no responsibility whatsoever.
