8. Disclaimers & Limitations
We work hard to provide an excellent educational platform, but we must set realistic legal boundaries regarding our liability.
"As Is" Service
Funjp.me is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we strive for accuracy in our Japanese language curriculum, we do not make any warranties, express or implied, regarding the platform's fitness for a particular purpose or guarantee specific fluency outcomes.Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Funjp.me and its creators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the platform. Our total liability to you for any claims arising from our service is capped at the total amount you paid to Funjp.me in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.Consumer Exceptions
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for incidental damages. If you reside in such a jurisdiction, these specific limitations will apply to you only to the maximum extent permitted by your local laws.9. Dispute Resolution
If a disagreement arises, we want to solve it fairly and efficiently.
Informal Resolution
Before filing a formal claim, you agree to try resolving the dispute informally by contacting us at hello@funjp.me. We will attempt to resolve the issue within 30 days.Binding Arbitration
If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, any remaining claims must be resolved through binding, individual arbitration rather than in court. The arbitration will be administered under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA).Class Action Waiver
You and Funjp.me agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action.Small Claims Exception
Either party may bring a qualifying individual claim in small claims court, provided it remains in that court and advances only on an individual basis.10. Changes & Termination
As our platform grows, we may need to update these terms or change how we operate.
Modifying These Terms
We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you via email or through a prominent notice on our platform before the changes take effect. Your continued use of Funjp.me after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.Our Right to Terminate
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to Funjp.me at our discretion, particularly if you violate our Acceptable Use policy or fail to pay for services.11. General Legal
These final legal formalities ensure our agreement is structurally sound.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.Severability
If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that specific section will be modified or removed, and the rest of the agreement will remain in full effect.Entire Agreement
These Terms of Service, along with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Funjp.me regarding your use of the platform.Assignment
You may not assign or transfer your rights under these terms to anyone else. We may assign our rights and obligations to a successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of the business.12. Contact Information
We are always here to help. You can reach us through the following methods:
- Email: hello@funjp.me

13. Confidentiality
During your use of Funjp.me, both parties may share non-public information. We mutually agree to protect each other's confidential information with the same degree of care we use to protect our own. This obligation does not apply to information that is already public, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law.
14. Indemnification
To ensure fairness, we offer mutual protection against third-party claims.
You agree to indemnify and hold Funjp.me harmless from any claims, damages, or legal fees arising from the content you upload or your misuse of our platform. In return, Funjp.me agrees to indemnify and hold you harmless against any third-party claims alleging that our platform's underlying software or original educational content infringes upon their intellectual property rights.
15. Service Levels
While we utilize robust infrastructure like Cloudflare to maintain high availability, Funjp.me is currently provided without a formal uptime Service Level Agreement (SLA) or service credit system. We monitor our systems closely and will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the platform accessible at all times.
16. Force Majeure
Neither you nor Funjp.me will be held liable for any delay or failure to perform obligations under these terms if the failure is caused by events beyond our reasonable control. This includes natural disasters, internet outages, government actions, or labor strikes.
17. Beta and Preview Features
Occasionally, we may offer early access to new learning tools labeled as "beta," "preview," or "experimental." These features are provided strictly "as is" so we can gather user feedback. They may contain bugs, are excluded from any service commitments, and may be changed or removed at any time without notice.
18. Order of Precedence
If you are a corporate client or educational institution that has signed a separate Master Services Agreement (MSA), Data Processing Agreement (DPA), or specific Order Form with Funjp.me, those documents will take precedence over these Terms of Service in the event of any direct conflict.
19. Arbitration Opt-Out
You have the right to opt out of the binding arbitration agreement outlined in Section 9. To do so, you must send a written notice to hello@funjp.me within 30 days of creating your Funjp.me account. If you opt out, all other parts of these terms will continue to apply.
Savings Clause: If the class-action waiver in Section 9 is found to be unenforceable by a court, then the entirety of the arbitration agreement shall be void as to that specific claim, and the claim must be brought in court.
20. Data Export and Deletion on Termination
When your account is terminated—whether by you or by us—you have a 30-day window to request an export of your personal learning data and homework submissions. We will provide this data in a standard, readable format (such as CSV or PDF). Once this 30-day export window expires, your data will be immediately and permanently deleted from our active production systems.
