Online Store Terms, Warranty & Return Policy

Welcome to FILMCAMERA TOKYO.

Every item we sell is individually inspected, tested where applicable, and accurately described to help you shop with confidence.

Please read these Terms, Warranty & Return Policy carefully before placing an order. By placing an order through our online store, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms.


Orders

Inventory & Order Acceptance

Our inventory is synchronized as accurately as possible. However, due to simultaneous sales through multiple channels, an item may occasionally become unavailable after an order has been placed.

Your order is considered accepted only after payment has been successfully processed and we have sent you an Order Confirmation email.

If an item becomes unavailable before your order is accepted, we will notify you as soon as possible and issue a full refund.

Order Verification & Fraud Prevention

To protect both our customers and our business, we reserve the right to verify orders before shipment.

We may cancel an order without prior notice if:

  • An item is no longer available.

  • A system or pricing error has occurred.

  • Payment authorization cannot be obtained.

  • Our fraud prevention system identifies the order as potentially fraudulent.

  • We reasonably determine that we are unable to proceed with the transaction.

If payment has already been received, a full refund will be issued promptly using the original payment method.


Warranty

Unless otherwise stated in the product listing, all cameras and lenses include a 30-day warranty from the date of delivery.

If a covered defect is found during the warranty period, we will, at our sole discretion:

  • Repair the item;

  • Replace it with an equivalent item; or

  • Issue a full refund if repair or replacement is not possible.

Return Shipping

For customers within Japan, approved warranty returns should be sent cash on delivery (COD).

For international customers, FILMCAMERA TOKYO will provide a prepaid DHL return shipping label for approved warranty claims.

Once we receive the returned item and confirm that the issue is covered under our warranty, we will issue a refund.

Refunds include:

  • The purchase price of the item.

  • The original shipping cost for orders under ¥90,000.

Refunds will be processed using the original payment method whenever possible.


International Orders

Import duties, customs fees, VAT, GST, and other local taxes are the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise stated.

Delivery times are estimates only and may be affected by customs clearance, weather conditions, carrier delays, or other circumstances beyond our control.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that imported products comply with the laws and regulations of their destination country.


Order Cancellations

Once an order has been placed, it cannot be canceled or modified at the customer's request.

Please review your order carefully before completing your purchase.

FILMCAMERA TOKYO reserves the right to cancel an order without prior notice if an item becomes unavailable, a system error occurs, payment authorization cannot be obtained, our fraud prevention system identifies the order as potentially fraudulent, or we reasonably determine that we are unable to proceed with the transaction.

If payment has already been received for an order canceled by FILMCAMERA TOKYO, a full refund will be issued promptly using the original payment method.
