Terms of Use

Using the site

Pixel Nihongo is for personal Japanese study: free, with no account needed. You are welcome to use it for your own learning.

Please do not use automated means to bulk-download the content, or do anything that would disrupt the site for other learners.

The study material can be wrong

The study data here is checked for shape rather than for content: the build knows when a lesson is missing a field, but not whether a reading, a translation or an explanation is right.

Anything machine-generated — automatic translations, speech-recognised captions — is a hint at the meaning rather than an accurate rendering.

So this is not an authoritative reference and does not replace a textbook or a teacher. If you spot a mistake, please report it — see the contact page.

Other people's content

Parts of the site display or play content that belongs to someone else — a publisher's book, video and captions on their own platform, audio on their own server. The site does not own that content, and does not upload or store it.

Where content plays through another platform's embedded player, that platform's terms apply to that part.

Parts that may stop working

The site relies on outside services to work. Any of them may change, rate-limit or stop at any time, and the matching feature stops working when they do. The privacy policy lists which services these are.

The site is provided as it is, with no guarantee that it will always be available or always correct.

Code and content

The source code is open under the MIT licence. That licence covers the code only — it grants no rights to third-party books, audio, text, trademarks or datasets that the project references.

The details of where the study material comes from, and whose rights attach to it, are in the repository's NOTICE file.

Rights complaints

If you are a rights holder and believe something here should be corrected, restricted or removed, write to [email protected]. The contact page sets out what happens next.
