  • Not sell, transfer, or license your account to another person.

4. Responsible Vulnerability Disclosure

If you discover a security vulnerability on our platform, we ask that you report it to us responsibly rather than exploiting it. Contact us at security@tokyofishmarket.com with details of the vulnerability. Do not publicly disclose the vulnerability before we have had an opportunity to address it.

5. Enforcement

Tokyofishmarket investigates reports of policy violations and takes appropriate action, which may include:

  • Warning the user.

  • Content removal.

  • Reporting to law enforcement when required by law or to protect user safety.

Enforcement decisions are made at the sole discretion of Tokyofishmarket. Repeated or severe violations will result in escalated consequences. Attempting to evade enforcement through new accounts or other means is itself a violation.

6. Reporting Violations

If you encounter activity that violates this policy, report it through the platform's built-in reporting tools or contact us at abuse@tokyofishmarket.com. All reports are reviewed confidentially.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of Tokyofishmarket after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.
