Anti-Crime, Sanctions & Restricted Parties Policy
We refuse relationships with organized crime, sanctioned parties, and illicit finance.
Red Ark Laboratories LLC (a Japan-registered godo kaisha (limited liability company), doing business internationally as Red Ark Laboratories LLC) is committed to lawful, transparent business. This English policy reframes our Japan compliance commitments for international readers: we prohibit dealings with organized crime and related illicit actors, observe applicable sanctions (including OFAC-administered programs where relevant to a transaction), and reject money-laundering or terrorist-financing risk. We do not use local slang or gang-specific labels; we describe prohibited categories in plain compliance language.
This English version is provided for convenience for international readers. For contracts and regulatory matters governed by Japanese law, the Japanese originals prevail unless we execute a separate English agreement with you.
Representations
We represent that, except for inadvertent discovery later corrected in good faith, we are not and will not become involved in any of the following:
- Being organized crime, a member or affiliate of organized crime, or an enterprise controlled by such actors
- Having officers or persons who effectively control management who are such actors (or formerly were, in a way that creates ongoing prohibited ties)
- Using parents, subsidiaries, or subcontractors that fall into the above categories for performance of our contracts
- Threatening, using violence against, or defaming others in the course of business
- Interfering with others' business through fraud or force
- Making improper or extortionate demands
- Causing a third party that is a prohibited actor to do any of the above
Sanctions, Export & AML Expectations
Where a transaction involves U.S. persons, U.S. dollars, U.S. technology, or other U.S. nexus, we expect counterparties to comply with applicable U.S. sanctions and export-control laws, including restrictions administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and relevant Commerce / State Department rules. We will not knowingly engage parties on applicable sanctions or restricted lists, or structure deals to evade screening.
We reject the use of our services or payments for money laundering, terrorist financing, or other financial crime. We may request information reasonably needed for know-your-customer (KYC) or sanctions screening and may decline or terminate relationships where risk cannot be mitigated.
Separately, Japanese law and government guidance require companies to cut ties with organized crime and related improper demands; our Japanese-language policy addresses those domestic requirements. This English page is the international-facing statement of the same intent.
