Terms and Conditions

Below are the terms and conditions for Drive Japan (accessible via drivejapan.travel ).

Application Processing:
The company processes applications based on client specifications and requests but is not liable for any errors in the information provided by the client. The company strives to secure accurate translations within the designated timeframe but is not responsible for any issues arising from the Japan Automobile Federation, including refusal to issue or accept a translation, errors in the translation, or delays in processing. The translation is valid only when attached to an existing driving license from Switzerland, France, Belgium, Germany, Monaco, and Taiwan. It cannot be used for converting to a Japanese driving license.

If any errors or omissions by the company cause the above issues, the company’s liability is limited to the cost of a replacement translation or a refund of the fees paid. The company is not responsible for any consequential losses, including but not limited to lost profits, rental fees, or fines.

Cancellation Rights:
By submitting an application online, you consent to the immediate processing of your application and waive any right to cancel. This is because Swiss law does not provide a right to cancel or exchange. The principle “pacta sunt servanda” (Latin for “agreements must be kept”) applies.
