  3. AISIN takes care concerning the content of information that is posted and the manner in which it is distributed and makes an effort to avoid the distribution of incorrect information or information that may be misunderstood.
  4. If incorrect or inappropriate information is distributed, or language that can lead to misunderstanding or inappropriate language is used, AISIN promptly apologizes and corrects the information.
  5. AISIN does not conceal its identity and uses good common sense when posting information and engaging in dialogue.
  6. AISIN complies with the rules of individual social media communities created and operated by third parties and respects their existing and unique culture and mannerisms.
