Revision of “Terms and Agreement”

Outline of Revisions

  • Compliance with the Funds Settlement Act: The ABCI service will end at Mar 30 5:00pm (JST), and all ABCI points will become invalid on the same date and time. In addition, the maximum number of ABCI Points and the number of ABCI Points that can be obtained for initial and additional applications after October shall be limited.
  • Support for Rack Occupancy: When the new “Rack Occupancy Annual Subscription Service” is launched, a new provision will be added to assume “ABCI Annual Subscription”. In order to simplify the usage application process, we will allow multiple usage groups to apply for usage in a single application. For this purpose, a new definition of “Responsible Supervisor” will be added, and provisions will be made for ABCI usage applications by the Responsible Supervisor.

Revisions

  1. All provisions related to the date when ABCI points become invalid, “Mar 30, 5:00pm” (the date of service termination).
  2. “Definitions” (Addition to article 1-20)
