No one other than a small and medium-sized enterprise may conclude a specified-industry retirement allowance mutual aid contract.
中小企業者でなければ、特定業種退職金共済契約を締結することができない。
When a specified-industry retirement allowance mutual aid contract is concluded, all persons prescribed in Article 39 who are employed by the mutual aid policyholder, except persons who are not to become covered employees pursuant to paragraph (4), become covered employees under that specified-industry retirement allowance mutual aid contract at the time when that specified-industry retirement allowance mutual aid contract takes effect (for a person newly employed by that mutual aid policyholder after that specified-industry retirement allowance mutual aid contract takes effect, at the time when that person is employed).
特定業種退職金共済契約が締結されたときは、第四項の規定により被共済者とならないものとされた者を除き、共済契約者が雇用する第三十九条に規定する者は、当該特定業種退職金共済契約の効力が生ずる時（当該特定業種退職金共済契約の効力が生じた後当該共済契約者に新たに雇用された者については、その者が雇用された時）において、すべて当該特定業種退職金共済契約の被共済者となる。
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, a person who is currently a covered employee under a specified-industry retirement allowance mutual aid contract and any other person specified by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare do not become covered employees under a specified-industry retirement allowance mutual aid contract.
前項の規定にかかわらず、現に特定業種退職金共済契約の被共済者である者その他厚生労働省令で定める者は、特定業種退職金共済契約の被共済者とならない。
A small and medium-sized enterprise may, in concluding a specified-industry retirement allowance mutual aid contract (for a specified-industry retirement allowance mutual aid contract deemed to have been concluded pursuant to Article 73, paragraph (7), in responding to the solicitation under paragraph (6) of that Article), provide that persons whose prescribed working hours are particularly short and other persons specified by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare are not to become covered employees under that specified-industry retirement allowance mutual aid contract.
中小企業者は、特定業種退職金共済契約の締結に当たつて（第七十三条第七項の規定によつて締結されたものとみなされる特定業種退職金共済契約については、同条第六項の規定による募集に応ずるに当たつて）、所定労働時間が特に短い者その他の厚生労働省令で定める者が当該特定業種退職金共済契約の被共済者とならないものとすることができる。
The Organization must not refuse to conclude a specified-industry retirement allowance mutual aid contract, except where the applicant for the contract is a person whose specified-industry retirement allowance mutual aid contract was cancelled pursuant to paragraph (2), item (i) of the following Article and for whom six months have not elapsed from the date of cancellation, or where there are other justifiable grounds specified by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
機構は、特定業種退職金共済契約の申込者が次条第二項第一号の規定により特定業種退職金共済契約を解除され、その解除の日から六月を経過しない者である場合その他厚生労働省令で定める正当な理由がある場合を除き、その締結を拒絶してはならない。
A mutual aid policyholder may expand and reduce the scope of the persons prescribed in paragraph (4) who are not to become covered employees under a specified-industry retirement allowance mutual aid contract, even after that specified-industry retirement allowance mutual aid contract has taken effect.
共済契約者は、特定業種退職金共済契約の効力が生じた後においても、第四項に規定する者であつて当該特定業種退職金共済契約の被共済者とならないこととなるものの範囲を拡大し、及び縮小することができる。
When a mutual aid policyholder intends to expand the scope of the persons prescribed in the preceding paragraph pursuant to that paragraph, and among the employees it currently employs there are persons who would not become covered employees as a result of the expansion of the scope, the mutual aid policyholder must obtain the consent of three-fourths or more of those persons; provided, however, that this does not apply where the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare finds that it would be extremely difficult to continue paying premiums for those persons.

Defined inArticle 2, paragraph (7)· applies throughout the law
cancellation
解除
Ending a contract by one party's notice to the other, where the contract or the law gives that party a right to cancel (Civil Code, Article 540, paragraph (1)). The Civil Code lets a party cancel for the other's failure to perform: after a demand to perform within a reasonable time that is not met, unless what is still missing is minor (Article 541), or at once where performance has become wholly impossible, or the other party has clearly refused to perform, among other cases where performance clearly will not come (Article 542, paragraph (1)). On cancellation each party must put the other back in the position before the contract, and damages can still be claimed (Article 545, paragraphs (1) and (4)); a lease, though, ends only from then on (Article 620). Cancellation differs from rescission (取消し), after which the act is treated as void from the start (Article 121).
