5. Content Ownership
5.1 OniKanji Content: All content provided by OniKanji within the App, including but not limited to text, graphics, images, user interface, code, algorithms, flashcard data, and software, is the property of OniKanji or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, or publicly perform any OniKanji Content without our prior written permission.
5.2 User-Generated Content: If you submit content to OniKanji, such as feedback, suggestions, bug reports, or other contributions ("User Submissions"), you grant OniKanji a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, perform, and display such User Submissions in connection with operating, improving, and promoting the App, without any compensation to you.
5.3 Immersion Hub Content
The Immersion Hub feature within the App may provide access to content, such as manga, podcasts, light novels, articles, or other materials, provided by third-party creators ("Creator Content"). These creators retain ownership and intellectual property rights to their respective Creator Content, subject to any licenses granted to OniKanji or its users. OniKanji acts solely as a platform or marketplace to facilitate access to this Creator Content.
Disclaimer: OniKanji does not create, review, endorse, guarantee, or take responsibility for the accuracy, quality, legality, safety, appropriateness, or any other aspect of Creator Content available in the Immersion Hub. Your access to and use of Creator Content is entirely at your own risk. OniKanji shall not be liable for any issues, damages, claims, or disputes arising from or related to Creator Content, including but not limited to errors, omissions, infringing material, or offensive content. Any support or inquiries regarding specific Creator Content should be directed to the respective creator where possible. Learners may have the opportunity to support creators directly through mechanisms provided within the App, subject to separate terms if applicable.
6. Payments, Subscriptions, and Coin System
6.1 Free and Paid Features: OniKanji may offer both free and paid services, including optional subscriptions or one-time purchases (such as Coins). Details about specific features, pricing, and payment options will be provided within the App (e.g., on a relevant page or at the point of purchase). All prices are subject to change.
6.2 Subscription Terms: If you subscribe to any recurring paid features, your subscription will automatically renew for the selected term (e.g., monthly, annually) unless canceled prior to the renewal date through your account settings or the relevant app store's (e.g., Apple App Store, Google Play Store) subscription management tools. You authorize OniKanji or its payment processor to charge the applicable subscription fees to your chosen payment method.
6.3 Coin System
(a) Virtual Currency: OniKanji utilizes a virtual currency known as "Coins". Coins are digital items with no value outside of the App.
(b) Earning and Acquiring Coins: Coins can be earned through certain activities within the App, such as leveling up, or may be purchased directly using real money.
(c) Use of Coins: Coins can be redeemed within the OniKanji App solely to unlock access to certain features or digital content, primarily Creator Content within the Immersion Hub ("Unlockable Content"). Unlocking content grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access that specific Unlockable Content through the App for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms and any additional terms presented at the time of redemption. This license is contingent upon your account remaining in good standing and may be revoked if you violate these Terms.
(d) Purchasing Coins: You may purchase Coins through the payment methods made available within the App. All Coin purchases are processed securely through our third-party payment processor, Stripe. By making a purchase, you agree to abide by Stripe's terms and conditions and privacy policy. OniKanji does not directly collect, store, or process your full credit card information; this is handled by Stripe. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more details on how payment-related data is handled.
(e) No Refunds: All Coin purchases are final and non-refundable. Once Coins are purchased, earned, or redeemed for Unlockable Content, they cannot be returned, refunded, or exchanged for cash, other monetary value, or other goods or services, except as may be required by applicable law in Georgia, USA.
(f) Non-Transferable: Coins are strictly tied to your individual OniKanji account. Coins cannot be transferred, sold, gifted, traded, leased, or exchanged between user accounts or with any third party. Any attempt to do so is prohibited and may result in immediate account suspension or termination and forfeiture of all Coins.
(g) No Cash Value: Coins are a component of the App's service and are not personal property. They have no cash value, are not legal tender, cannot be redeemed for cash or any fiat currency, and cannot be used or exchanged outside of the OniKanji App.
(h) Modifications and Expiration: OniKanji reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to manage, regulate, control, modify, or eliminate Coins at any time. This includes, but is not limited to, setting or changing the purchase price for Coins, the number of Coins earned for activities, the number of Coins required to unlock specific content, and the availability of Coins or Unlockable Content. OniKanji may do so with or without notice, although we will endeavor to provide reasonable notice of significant changes where feasible. OniKanji reserves the right to implement expiration dates for Coins in the future, upon reasonable notice to users.
7. Privacy Policy Your use of OniKanji is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. The Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and disclose your information, including details regarding the handling of data related to payments processed via our third-party provider, Stripe. By using the App, you consent to the data practices described in the Privacy Policy.
8. International Users OniKanji is operated from the United States. If you access the App from outside the United States, you are responsible for compliance with local laws. By using the App, you consent to the transfer and processing of your personal data in the United States and potentially other countries, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
9. Modifications to the Service and Terms
Changes to the App: OniKanji reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the App or any service to which it connects (including features related to the Coin system such as earning rates, redemption values, purchase prices, and content availability), with or without notice and without liability to you, except where prohibited by law.
Changes to Terms: We may update or modify these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or for other reasons. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the updated Terms within the App, sending an email to the address associated with your account, or through other reasonable means. Changes will typically become effective 30 days after notification. Your continued use of the App after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the App.
10. Termination We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the App, or parts thereof, at our sole discretion, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including but not limited to your breach of these Terms. Upon termination, your license to use the App will immediately cease, and you may lose access to all associated data, including forfeiture of any accumulated Coins and access to previously unlocked content. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including, but not limited to, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability) shall survive termination.
11. Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability
Disclaimer: THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

ONIKANJI'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE APP OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO ONIKANJI FOR USE OF THE APP (INCLUDING COIN PURCHASES) IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100.00).
12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms will be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Cobb County, Georgia, USA, and the parties hereby irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue therein.

15. General Terms These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and OniKanji regarding your use of the App and supersede all prior agreements or understandings. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. OniKanji's failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. You may not assign these Terms without OniKanji's prior written consent. OniKanji may assign these Terms without restriction.
