BILLING & PAYMENT

What payment methods can I use?

We accept payments through PayPal and all major credit cards. All payments are processed through our secure checkout, and we never share any of your details with third parties.

Does the shipping fee cover custom fee and tax?

Please double-check your country's customs regulations. Each country has different rules regarding the customs fee and tax. If you get charged for any customs fees or taxes, we are not responsible to cover it. Please keep in mind that we do not have control over the import taxes because customs taxes are charged by your local government.

What currency are you using?

You can switch between different currencies for display, but since the exchange rate fluctuates daily, we cannot provide a specific price quote. You can check the exchange rate for reference here: https://www.oanda.com/currency-converter.

If you sign up for each plan, will you be charged upfront for all of them?

1.Subscription payments are billed monthly based on your sign-up date.

2.You can confirm your monthly billing date from your member page.

When will I be charged?

After completing the checkout process, you will be billed immediately.

Subsequent payments will be billed on the same date and time every month. Please note that JST (Japan Standard Time) is used for the timing of payments, so the renewal date may be one day earlier or one day later than your time zone.

For example, if you complete the checkout process and start your subscription on April 10th, you will be billed on the 10th of every following month.
