Terms of service

The terms for using this site and for the monthly research plan you buy through it. Execution and spot work have their own written agreements.

1. Who runs this site

Dorado LLC ("Dorado", "we", "us") runs this site. Address: Hamamatsu-cho Dia Building 2F, 2-2-15 Hamamatsu-cho, Minato-ku, Tokyo 105-0013, Japan. Email: support@dorado-group.jp.

2. What these terms cover

These terms cover your use of this site and the monthly research plan. Hands-on execution and spot work are agreed in writing for each customer. Where such an agreement exists, it applies to the work it covers instead of these terms.

3. The research plan

What you get

  • Your first brief after your intake form
  • One brief each month after that
  • Up to 5 written questions a month
  • Each brief reviewed by Dorado before it is sent

The plan does not include sales execution, translation, or meetings with buyers or with us. We offer those as spot work or hands-on execution.

Price and payment

The first month costs $50. After that, the plan costs $200 a month. Prices are in US dollars. Stripe charges your card when you start and then on the same date each month. Prices exclude consumption tax.

Cancelling

You can cancel any month by email to support@dorado-group.jp. The plan ends on the day you cancel. We refund the unused days of that month, prorated by day, and we do not charge you again.

Price changes

We tell you by email at least 30 days before a new price applies to you. You can cancel before it does.

4. Your briefs

You can use your briefs inside your company, and you keep them after you cancel. You can also share or publish a brief outside your company.

We keep your intake answers and briefs confidential. We do not publish them, and we use an example from your research only with your permission.

5. What a brief is, and is not

A brief reports what public sources showed on the date we checked them. Prices, competitors, and rules change. A brief is not legal, regulatory, tax, or financial advice. Check regulations with a qualified professional before you act on them.

6. Using this site

You can view, download, and print pages from this site for your own reference. Any other copying, distribution, or commercial use needs our written permission. Do not:

  • Scrape or bulk-copy content or data from the site
  • Send malware or other harmful material
  • Interfere with the site's performance, availability, or security
  • Use the site in a way that breaks the law

When you send a form, the information must be accurate and lawful. We handle it as the privacy policy describes.

7. Intellectual property

The text, graphics, logos, and layout of this site belong to Dorado LLC or its licensors. Do not use our name, logo, or content without permission.

9. Liability

We provide this site as it is, without warranties. We try to keep it available, but we do not promise that it is always available or free of errors.

To the extent the law allows, our liability for the research plan is limited to the fees you paid in the 3 months before the claim. This limit does not apply to fraud or willful misconduct.

10. Governing law

Japanese law governs these terms. The Tokyo District Court has exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute about these terms, the plan, or this site.

11. Changes to these terms

When we change these terms, we update the date at the top of this page and email current customers. If you keep using the plan after a change takes effect, the new terms apply.
