2.3. User-Generated Content

The Service may allow you to post, submit, or share content such as reviews, comments, word lists, and other materials ("User Content"). By submitting User Content, you:

  • Represent that you have the right to submit such content and that it does not violate any third-party rights

  • Restrict or revoke your ability to post User Content
  • Suspend or terminate your account
  • Take any other action we deem necessary to maintain a safe and productive learning environment

These rights apply to all users, including those on paid subscription plans. Payment for premium features does not exempt users from these Terms or guarantee uninterrupted access to User Content features.

2.4. Accuracy

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we strive to provide accurate Japanese language analysis, kana conversion, and morphological processing, we make no warranties or guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the results. The Service is intended for educational and reference purposes only. Users should verify important translations or linguistic analysis through additional sources and use the Service at their own risk.
