"App Store says I need a 特商法 page." What is that?

You built a great app. You set up your subscription. You go to ship it in Japan — and App Store Connect (or Google Play, or your payment processor) demands a "特定商取引法に基づく表記" page. You don't read Japanese, you've never heard of this law, and every guide you find is written for Japanese business owners who already know what it is.

This skill is the translator that was missing. It explains, in plain English, what Japanese commerce law requires of you, whether it even applies to your case, and then generates the actual Japanese document — the one with legal force — ready to paste into your listing.

What 特商法 actually is (the 30-second version)

The Specified Commercial Transactions Act requires a public disclosure page from anyone selling to consumers in Japan. That includes paid apps, in-app purchases, and SaaS subscriptions in the Japanese market. If you're shipping anything paid to Japan's App Store or Google Play, you almost certainly need this page — and a missing or wrong one is a real rejection / takedown risk. If you genuinely aren't selling to Japanese consumers, this skill will tell you that too, instead of generating a page you don't need.

How it works

1. Tell it your situation in English — "I sell a $4.99/month subscription on the Japan App Store"
2. It confirms whether you need the page, and explains which fields the law requires for your case
3. It asks ~6 plain questions (seller name, contact, price, refund stance, etc.)
4. It generates the Japanese 特商法 page (the legally-binding version) + an English reference translation so you understand every line

What it generates

✅ 特商法 (Specified Commercial Transactions Act disclosure)
✅ Privacy Policy (個人情報保護法-compliant)
✅ Terms of Service
✅ Refund / Cancellation Policy
✅ Cookie Policy
✅ Output for Notion, WordPress, STORES, BASE, Shopify, or plain text

Built for the indie developer case

The #1 user here is a solo overseas dev shipping to Japan. So it knows the things that matter to you:

• The privacy clause for solo devs — you don't have to publish your home address and phone. Japanese law lets you withhold them and disclose "without delay upon request." This skill includes that clause by default.
• Consumption tax — Japanese prices must be shown tax-included; it handles that.
• App Store / Google Play specifics — cancellation via the platform, IAP fees, the live-URL requirement.

More than generation

🔍 Compliance check — paste your existing 特商法 page and it audits it against current law, flagging high/medium-risk gaps with the legal basis for each.
🌐 Multilingual — Japanese (binding) + English / Chinese / Korean reference translations.
📋 Industry-specific — apps, SaaS, EC, digital goods, freelance services, secondhand/古物商.

Honest about the law's currency

Japanese law changes — the Specified Commercial Transactions Act has provisions effective after 2022, and the privacy law runs a multi-year review cycle. This skill verifies requirements against the Consumer Affairs Agency (消費者庁) guidance before asserting them, rather than trusting a hardcoded date. (It's not a substitute for a licensed Japanese attorney on high-stakes matters — and it says so.)

Part of the Japan App Launch Stack

Shipping a paid app to Japan touches four things:

• App Store Rejection Buster — getting past App Review
• SwiftUI StoreKit 2 — implementing the subscription
• Supabase × Claude API — the secure backend
• This — the legal pages Japan requires

Your 特商法 page and your App Store paywall both need live ToS + Privacy URLs — generate them here, host them, wire them in.

Who this is for

Overseas indie developers shipping a paid app or subscription to Japan. SaaS founders expanding into the Japanese market. Anyone who got the "you need a 特商法 page" message and has no idea where to start.

Built by someone who files these for real Japanese businesses. You bring the app; it brings the law.
