TERMS OF SERVICE
Last updated: September 2026
Welcome to YURIKO YUCO YOSHIKAWA.
By accessing or using yurikoyuco.com (the “Site”), you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully before using the Site or purchasing any product.
1. GENERAL
By using this Site, you confirm that you are legally capable of entering into a contract in your jurisdiction and agree to be bound by these Terms.
We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms from time to time. The version in effect at the time of your purchase will apply to that transaction, subject to applicable law.
2. PRODUCTS
Products offered through this Site include:
- One-of-a-kind original artworks and other physical artworks
- Music licenses and related digital audio files
- Other products or services that may be offered from time to time
Original artworks are handcrafted works by artist YURIKO YUCO YOSHIKAWA. Each original artwork is unique.
Product descriptions, photographs, dimensions, materials, and other information are provided as accurately as reasonably possible. Colors and appearance may vary slightly depending on lighting, photography, and screen or device settings.
Music licenses are licenses to use specified musical works or recordings under defined conditions. Purchasing a music license does not transfer copyright or ownership of the music.
3. PRICING
Prices are shown in the currency displayed at checkout.
Applicable taxes may be included or added where required.
Customs duties, import taxes, brokerage charges, and other charges associated with international delivery of physical products may be charged separately as described in our Shipping Policy.
We reserve the right to change prices before an order is placed. The price applicable to an accepted order is the price confirmed at checkout, subject to correction of obvious errors as permitted by applicable law.
4. ORDERS
By placing an order, you submit an offer to purchase the selected product.
We reserve the right to accept, reject, or cancel an order where permitted by applicable law, including in cases involving pricing errors, suspected fraud, payment problems, product unavailability, or other legitimate reasons.
An order confirmation or other confirmation will be sent electronically.
Customers are responsible for providing accurate order, contact, billing, and delivery information.
5. PAYMENT
Available payment methods are those displayed at checkout.
Payments are processed through Shopify and/or applicable third-party payment providers.
We do not directly control the security systems, payment processing procedures, or availability of third-party payment providers.
6. PHYSICAL ARTWORK SHIPPING
Physical artworks are shipped internationally by DHL Express or Japan Post / EMS.
The shipping method may be selected according to the destination, artwork dimensions, value, and shipping requirements.
Shipment insurance or applicable compensation arrangements will be handled as described in our Shipping Policy.
Delivery times are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed.
We are not responsible for delays caused by customs authorities, carriers, weather, transportation disruptions, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control, except where otherwise required by applicable law.
7. CUSTOMS, DUTIES AND IMPORT TAXES
International shipments of physical artworks may be subject to customs duties, import taxes, brokerage charges, or other fees imposed by the destination country.
Where Shopify calculates and collects applicable duties and import taxes at checkout, those amounts will be charged at checkout.
Where such charges are not collected at checkout, the buyer may be required to pay them directly to the customs authority, shipping carrier, or other applicable party during customs clearance or upon delivery.
Except where expressly stated otherwise, such charges are the responsibility of the buyer.
Music licenses delivered digitally do not involve physical shipping or customs duties associated with physical delivery.
8. RETURNS AND REFUNDS — ARTWORKS
Because original artworks are unique and one-of-a-kind, artwork sales are generally final and we do not accept returns or exchanges for change of mind or personal preference, except where otherwise required by applicable law.
If an artwork arrives damaged or is confirmed lost in transit, please contact us within 7 days of delivery in accordance with our Refund Policy.
Photographs, video, packaging materials, shipping labels, and other documentation may be required for a carrier or insurance claim.
Our Refund Policy forms part of these Terms.
9. MUSIC LICENSES
Music licenses sold through this Site are non-exclusive unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise.
The purchaser receives only the rights specifically granted in the relevant product description and license agreement.
Copyright, authorship, ownership, and all intellectual property rights in the music remain with the applicable creator or rights holder.
Purchasing a music license does not transfer copyright or ownership of the music to the purchaser.
10. MUSIC LICENSE AGREEMENT
After purchase confirmation, we will normally contact the purchaser by email within two business days.
The applicable license agreement must be signed and returned before the licensed use begins.
Unless otherwise stated in the applicable agreement, the license becomes effective after:
- Full payment has been received; and
- The applicable license agreement has been signed and returned.
The permitted use, duration, territory, audience or distribution limits, commercial scope, and other conditions are determined by the applicable product page and license agreement.
If an individually executed license agreement contains terms that differ from these general Terms, the individually executed agreement will control with respect to that license, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
11. MUSIC FILE DELIVERY
After the applicable license agreement has been signed and returned, the WAV file will be delivered digitally through WeTransfer.
The WeTransfer download link will remain available for the period stated on the applicable product page, currently three days where specified.
The purchaser is responsible for downloading the file during the stated period and securely storing the downloaded file.
Music licenses do not involve physical shipping.
12. MUSIC LICENSE CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS
Subject to applicable mandatory law, a music license order may be cancelled for a full refund before the applicable license agreement has been signed and returned.
Once the license agreement has been signed and returned, or the WAV file has been delivered, cancellation and refunds are generally not available, except where otherwise required by applicable law.
Special quotations, commissioned licenses, customized licenses, or individually negotiated transactions may be governed by separate written agreements.
Our Refund Policy also applies to music license purchases.
13. MUSIC LICENSE RESTRICTIONS
Unless expressly permitted by the applicable license agreement, the purchaser may not:
- Resell the music
- Sublicense the music
- Transfer the license to another person or organization

- Claim authorship or ownership of the music

- Use the music in a manner prohibited by the applicable license agreement
Any required credit or attribution must be provided as stated on the applicable product page or license agreement.

Copyright, reproduction rights, image rights, licensing rights, and other intellectual property rights in the artwork remain with YURIKO YUCO YOSHIKAWA unless expressly transferred through a separate written agreement.

29. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, disputes arising from these Terms or purchases made through this Site shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts in Aichi Prefecture, Japan.
Nothing in this provision deprives a consumer of mandatory rights or protections that apply under the laws of the consumer's jurisdiction where such rights cannot legally be waived or restricted.
30. EU CONSUMERS — RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
If you are a consumer located in the European Union, mandatory EU consumer protection laws may provide you with a right to withdraw from certain distance contracts within 14 days without giving a reason.
The fact that an artwork is unique, handmade, or one-of-a-kind does not by itself necessarily remove this statutory right.
Different rules may apply to commissioned, custom-made, or clearly personalized artworks produced according to the individual purchaser's specifications.
For digital content that is not supplied on a tangible medium, including downloadable audio files, applicable law may provide that the right of withdrawal is lost after digital performance begins only where the required conditions have been satisfied, including the purchaser's prior express consent to begin performance during the withdrawal period and acknowledgement that the right of withdrawal will be lost when performance begins.
Where required by applicable law, we will obtain the purchaser's express consent and acknowledgement before making digital content available for download.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit mandatory rights granted to consumers under applicable law.
