In principle, we do not accept the return of the payment by bank transfer, but upon request from the User, we may transfer the payment directly to the account of the User (limited to the account under the User's own name) and return the payment if we acknowledge that there are special circumstances where it is unavoidable to use bank transfer. In this case, if we are unable to return the price for the reason that there is an error in the information necessary for the bank transfer, such as the account number received from the User, we will notify you again.
