1. What Jiwami is
Jiwami is desktop software for Japanese learners. It helps users turn their own content, such as local video files, subtitle files, EPUB books, streaming URLs, plain text, and manga/image content via OCR, into review-ready study decks and related study materials.
2. License and permitted use
Jiwami is licensed, not sold. Subject to purchase and compliance with these terms, you receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Jiwami for your own lawful study and productivity purposes.
- You may not resell, sublicense, redistribute, or share the software or license access unless explicitly permitted in writing.
- You may not remove branding, ownership notices, or licensing controls from the product.
- You may not use Jiwami in a way that infringes third-party intellectual property or violates applicable law.
3. User-supplied content and third-party rights
You are solely responsible for the media, subtitles, books, text, images, dictionaries, and any other materials you upload, process, or connect to Jiwami. You must have the necessary rights or permissions for the content you use.
Jiwami does not grant you any rights to third-party copyrighted works. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, Jiwami does not include ownership or relicensing rights for third-party media, subtitles, books, or copyrighted dictionary content.
4. Purchases, billing, and subscriptions
Purchases are processed by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the merchant of record for checkout, billing, tax handling, and payment processing. By completing a purchase, you may also be subject to Lemon Squeezy’s buyer terms and checkout policies.
- Monthly and annual plans renew automatically until canceled.
- Lifetime plans are one-time purchases that do not renew.
- Pricing may change for future purchases or renewals, but changes will not retroactively alter completed purchases.
5. Refunds and cancellations
Because Jiwami is digital software, refund requests are handled on a case-by-case basis. Requests tied to duplicate purchases, accidental purchases, or reproducible technical failure may be considered. Billing and refund handling may be coordinated through Lemon Squeezy, the merchant of record.
If you have a recurring subscription, cancellation stops future renewals but does not automatically entitle you to a refund for time already billed or already used.
6. Updates, features, and availability
Jiwami may change over time. Features, input support, user interface, pricing, and compatibility may be updated, improved, limited, or removed as the product evolves. We may issue bug fixes, updates, or new versions at our discretion.
Jiwami may check for updates through official Jiwami-operated services and Lemon Squeezy delivery channels. Some releases may require upgrading to a minimum supported version before the app can continue receiving licensing decisions or access updates.
Downloadable software files attached to your purchase may be replaced over time by newer builds for the same product or variant. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, support for every file format or external service forever, or compatibility with every device, OS version, or third-party tool.
7. Acceptable use
You may not use Jiwami to engage in unlawful conduct, rights infringement, malware distribution, credential abuse, or any attempt to bypass licensing, payment, or access restrictions. You may not use Jiwami to distribute content you do not have the right to distribute.
8. Disclaimer
Jiwami is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no warranty is made that the software will be error-free, uninterrupted, fit for a particular purpose, or compatible with every workflow or third-party setup.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Jiwami will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, business, or goodwill arising from use of the site or software. Any direct liability will be limited to the amount you paid for Jiwami in the 12 months preceding the claim.
10. Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this page, and continued use of the site or software after an update means you accept the revised terms.
11. Support and order questions
For billing, receipts, or order-related issues, use the Lemon Squeezy order and support channels associated with your purchase. For product-related issues, use the support channel or contact path provided with the product and purchase materials.
