2) Eligibility & Accounts
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required by your jurisdiction) to use the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and for all activities under it.
3) Plans, Pricing, and Payments
Plan details and pricing are shown on our Plans page. Payments are processed by third-party providers (e.g., Stripe, Gumroad). By purchasing, you authorize us and our payment processor to charge your selected payment method for recurring subscriptions (if applicable) until you cancel.
4) Refunds & Cancellations
Unless otherwise stated on the purchase page, downloadable digital goods and subscription periods already started are generally non-refundable. You can cancel future renewals at any time via your account or by contacting us. Your access will continue until the end of the current billing period.
5) Digital Content & License
All course materials, mnemonics, illustrations, audio/video, and downloads are licensed to you for personal, non-commercial use.
You are welcome to share short excerpts, screenshots, or small portions of our content for the purposes of commentary, review, or recommending our Service to others, provided you include a visible link to our website.
Republishing substantial portions, complete chapters, or downloadable materials without our written permission is prohibited.
6) User Conduct
- No unlawful, infringing, or harmful use of the Service.
- No attempts to bypass paywalls, access controls, or technical protections.
- No scraping or bulk downloading of content.
7) Intellectual Property
All trademarks, logos, and content are owned by us or our licensors. No rights are granted except as expressly described in these Terms.
8) Third-Party Services
We use third-party services (e.g., Stripe and Gumroad for payments, Firebase for hosting/authentication/data storage, and Namecheap for domain registration). These services may collect and process your personal data according to their own terms and privacy policies.
Specifically, Firebase stores your account email address, subscription tier, and course progress (such as chapters completed) so that we can deliver the Service and maintain your account.
9) Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation or specific learning outcomes.
10) Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the amount you paid to us in the 3 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
11) Changes to the Service
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the Service at any time. We may update these Terms; continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
12) Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access for breach of these Terms or misuse of the Service. You may stop using the Service at any time.
13) Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. If required by law, consumer protections of your country of residence may also apply.
