A private lodging intermediary must establish the terms and conditions of the private lodging intermediary services with regard to the contract concerning the private lodging intermediary services (referred to as a "private lodging intermediary contract" in Article 57, item (i) and Article 59, paragraph (1)) that it concludes with a lodger, and must notify the Commissioner of the Tourism Agency of them before their implementation. The same applies when the intermediary seeks to change them.
If the Commissioner of the Tourism Agency finds that the terms and conditions of the private lodging intermediary services referred to in the preceding paragraph fall under any of the following items, it may order the private lodging intermediary to change the terms and conditions, setting a reasonable time limit:
if there is a risk of harming the legitimate interests of the lodgers; or
宿泊者の正当な利益を害するおそれがあるものであるとき。
if the terms and conditions do not clearly specify particulars concerning the receipt and refunding of fees for the private lodging intermediary services and money for other transactions with the lodgers, and particulars concerning the responsibilities of the private lodging intermediary.
If the Commissioner of the Tourism Agency has established and made a public notice on the general terms and conditions of the private lodging intermediary services (including cases in which the Commissioner has changed and made a public notice on them), and the private lodging intermediary establishes terms and conditions of its private lodging intermediary services that are identical to the general terms and conditions of the private lodging intermediary services or changes the terms and conditions of its private lodging intermediary services that it has already established so that they are identical to the general terms and conditions of the private lodging intermediary services, the notification under paragraph (1) is deemed to have been made for those terms and conditions.
A private lodging intermediary must make a public notice on the terms and conditions of the private lodging intermediary services pursuant to the provisions of Order of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
