What floortok is

floortok is an information service about Japan's retail and luxury market. We compile store directories, brand locations, operator financials, market indicators and curated news from public and officially published sources.

The service is provided for general information and professional reference. It is not financial, investment, legal or tax advice, and should not be relied on as the sole basis for any decision.

Accuracy and availability

We work to keep the information accurate and current, but it is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. Figures, store details and openings change frequently and may contain errors or omissions.

We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the service at any time without notice.

Permitted use

You may use floortok for your own personal or internal business reference. You may not scrape, bulk-copy, resell, or redistribute our compiled datasets as a substitute for the service without our written permission.

Underlying source data (government statistics, company disclosures, and similar) remains subject to the rights of its original publisher; see our Sources page for how each may be reused.

News and third-party content

News items are shown as a headline, a short summary and a link to the original publisher. Copyright in the original articles belongs to those publishers, and the link takes you to their site to read in full.

We are not responsible for the content of external sites we link to.

Submissions and press materials

If you send us material — a press release, press kit, images, a correction or any other content (a "Submission") — you confirm you have the right to do so and that our using it as described here will not infringe anyone's rights. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, reproduce, translate, edit for length and style, and publish the Submission in our reporting, in both English and Japanese.

We publish press photographs only on the terms set out in our Editorial Policy — used whole and unaltered, credited as requested, and alongside our own reporting. We are under no obligation to publish, and may decline or later remove any Submission. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, Submissions are not treated as confidential, and sending one does not create any employment, agency or payment obligation.

Our intellectual property

The selection, arrangement and presentation of the data, together with the floortok name and design, belong to us. Brand names, logos and trademarks shown belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only.

Our original articles, analysis and the illustrations we produce are floortok's copyright works.

Paid features

Some features may be offered on a paid subscription in future. When they are, the price, billing cycle and cancellation terms will be shown clearly before you subscribe.

Liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, the service or the information in it.
