Terms of use

These terms apply when you use Hibiyomi to learn or teach Japanese. By creating an account you agree to them and to our privacy policy.

Accounts

• Give your real email and year of birth. Learners under 18 need a parent or guardian's approval.
• Keep your password private. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
• Institutions are responsible for the people they invite and for the material their teachers upload.

Fair use

• Do not upload anything illegal, hateful, sexual or that you do not have the right to share.
• Do not try to break into other accounts, overload the service or copy the question bank in bulk.
• Speaking practice has a daily limit so it stays available for everyone.

We may suspend accounts that break these rules, after telling you why where possible.

Content

• Lessons, questions, mnemonics and software are ours or our licensors'. Stroke-order data comes from KanjiVG (CC BY-SA 3.0). Example words for each reading come from JMdict and KANJIDIC2 by the Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group (CC BY-SA 4.0). Kanji readings and meanings are standard dictionary facts; the units, their grouping and order are Hibiyomi's own. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by any textbook publisher, or by the organisers of the JLPT.
• You keep ownership of what you upload. You give us permission to store and show it to the people you share it with (for example your teacher).

AI features

Speaking practice uses an AI model. It can make mistakes, including in Japanese. It is a practice partner, not a teacher, doctor or adviser, and it does not replace official exam material.

Scores and predictions

Mock-test scores and pass predictions are estimates to guide your study. They are not official JLPT results and do not guarantee a result in the real exam.

Service and changes

We work to keep the service available but cannot promise it will never be interrupted. We may change features or these terms; if a change is significant we will tell you before it applies. You can stop using the service and delete your account at any time.

Liability

The service is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim (zero for free accounts). Nothing here limits rights you have under Indian consumer law.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Contact: zatchbell99975@gmail.com.
