Parental Consent (Valid Until Adulthood)
This consent sets out what a parent or legal guardian agrees to when a minor under 18 acts as a worker on Cosmos.
The Japanese version is the authoritative original. If there is any discrepancy in interpretation, the Japanese version prevails. This consent is governed by the laws of Japan.
Consent
The guardian gives consent to the minor registering and working as a Cosmos worker, providing services in person, and complying with the Service's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. This consent is valid until the minor reaches adulthood (age 18). Individual consent for each instance is not required. However, you may be asked to complete the consent procedure again if the contact details (email or phone) change, the legal guardian changes (e.g. bereavement or divorce), or this consent document is substantially revised.
Guardian Identity Verification
As part of the consent procedure, the guardian shall complete identity verification (matching an ID document with a selfie) provided by the payment provider (Stripe).
How Remuneration Is Received (Account in the Guardian's Name)
Remuneration for the minor's work belongs to the minor. However, because the payment provider (Stripe) only allows adults to complete account setup, it shall be received into an account in the guardian's name.
The guardian shall open the payout account in their own name and agree to the payment provider's (Stripe's) terms. The guardian shall pass on any remuneration credited to that account to the minor without delay, and until it is passed on, shall hold it as the minor's property. Once the minor reaches adulthood (age 18), the account can be switched to one in the minor's own name.
Method of Contact With the Guardian
The operator contacts the guardian primarily by email and uses the phone only in emergencies. The guardian shall keep the contact email address and phone number up to date.
Procedure to Withdraw Consent
The guardian may withdraw this consent at any time via the operator support window (the in-app "Contact support" chat or the contact listed on the official site). Once withdrawal is confirmed, the minor worker is stopped from taking on new jobs. If a job is in progress, the operator arranges for it to be completed safely or canceled.
Safety Considerations
The guardian shall supervise the minor to work with care for health and safety (preventing overwork, avoiding dangerous jobs, and observing the face-to-face rules). Workers under 18 are restricted from receiving night-time requests (22:00–05:00), certain hazardous categories, and shopping requests that include alcohol or tobacco.
