Article 18Compensatory Liability of the Person Submitting a Securities Registration Statement Containing a False Statement
第十八条（虚偽記載のある届出書の届出者等の賠償責任）
If a securities registration statement contains a false statement regarding a material particular, lacks a statement of a material particular that is required to be stated, or lacks a statement of a material fact that is necessary to prevent it from being misleading, the person that submitted the securities registration statement is liable to compensate for damage sustained by a person that acquires the securities through the public offering or secondary distribution; provided, however, that this does not apply if the person that acquires the securities knows that the statement is false or has been omitted at the time the person offers to acquire the securities.
The preceding paragraph applies mutatis mutandis if a prospectus referred to in Article 13, paragraph (1) contains a false statement regarding a material particular, lacks a statement of a material particular that is required to be stated, or lacks a statement of a material fact that is necessary to prevent it from being misleading. In this case, in the preceding paragraph, the phrase "the person that submitted the securities registration statement" is deemed to be replaced with "the issuer that prepared the prospectus" and the phrase "through the public offering or secondary distribution" is deemed to be replaced with "through the public offering or secondary distribution after receiving the prospectus".

damages
損害賠償
Compensation for loss one person has caused another. A debtor who does not perform an obligation as it should be performed, or cannot perform it, must compensate the creditor for the loss that results, unless the failure comes from a cause the debtor is not responsible for, judged by the contract or other source of the obligation and by accepted views in dealings (Civil Code, Article 415, paragraph (1)); and a person who, intentionally or negligently, infringes another's rights or legally protected interests must compensate for the loss that results (Article 709). It is paid in money unless otherwise agreed (Articles 417 and 722, paragraph (1)), and the parties to a contract may agree in advance the amount due if it is not performed; a sum fixed for breach (違約金) is presumed to be such an agreement (Article 420, paragraphs (1) and (3)). The Consumer Contract Act makes void the part of such an amount in a consumer contract, for its cancellation, with any penalty added, above the average loss the business would suffer from the cancellation of consumer contracts of that kind, measured separately for each category the clause sets, such as the reason for and time of cancellation (Consumer Contract Act, Article 9, paragraph (1), item (i)).
