If this happens, you will forfeit your deposit, which will be used towards the costs of re-selling the car.

If you are unable to find what you require at auction in the first Month, please select an option from below.
 
Option 1. If you no longer require access to the Showa Trade System.

We will refund your deposit, less the Auction System Fee for the time that you have accessed the System, ( per month or part of ).

( The Auction System Fee is for using the system, auction data costs, inspection fees, bidding fees etc. Currently 10,000 yen per month )

The system fee is 10,000 Yen for any whole month or part of.  We will deduct each month's access fee from the remainder of your deposit.

Refund Example. If 2 months access ( or part of ) is used, at a cost of 10,000 Yen per month, The cost will be 20,000 Yen ( 2 months auction system fee ).

In this instance, The initial Deposit of 100,000Yen, less 20,000Yen costs would allow a refund of 80,000 Yen

Please provide your bank details for the refund, if applicable.


Option 2. Extension of your membership:

If you require a membership extension because you have not yet found what you are looking for in the previous month's access period.
We will allow you extended access of our system. If you purchase a car during this extended period,
you will receive this month's access charge ( 10,000 Yen ) free. Please note: you will still be charged for any previous monthly access charge ( per complete month ).
