Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: January 1, 2026

By joining the NihongoDekita Discord server and/or completing your purchase through LaunchPass, you (“Member,” “User,” or “Student”) agree to be bound by the following Terms of Agreement. Please read them carefully.

1. Acceptance of Terms

Access to the NihongoDekita Discord community is conditioned on your acceptance of these terms, as well as the Discord Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. If you do not agree, you may not access the server.

2. Membership and Payments

Subscription & Billing: All memberships are processed via LaunchPass/Stripe. By providing a payment method, you authorize recurring charges (if applicable) for the subscription tier selected.

No-Refund Policy: Due to the digital nature of the content and the immediate access provided to proprietary learning materials, all sales are final. Refunds are generally not provided for partial months or "change of mind."

Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time through your LaunchPass dashboard. Upon cancellation, access to the Discord server will be terminated at the end of your current billing cycle.

3. Intellectual Property (IP) Rights

Proprietary Materials: All Japanese learning materials, PDFs, videos, custom bots, and lesson structures provided within the Discord are the exclusive property of NihongoDekita.

Limited License: Members are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use these materials for personal study.

Prohibited Use: You may not record, screenshot, download (for distribution), or share NihongoDekita materials with non-members. Any unauthorized redistribution or commercial use of our content will result in an immediate ban without refund and potential legal action.

4. Community Conduct & Japanese Learning Environment

To maintain a safe and productive environment for learning Japanese, all members must adhere to the following:

Respectful Interaction: Harassment, hate speech, or discrimination based on race, gender, religion, or Japanese proficiency level is strictly prohibited.

No Spam/Self-Promotion: Do not post unsolicited links, advertise other Discord servers, or promote personal services unless explicitly permitted in a designated channel.

Language Etiquette: Please follow channel-specific guidelines regarding the use of Japanese (Romaji/Kana/Kanji) and English.

Academic Integrity: While collaboration is encouraged, do not use the community to cheat on formal exams or external Japanese language certifications (e.g., JLPT).

5. Privacy and Safety

Confidentiality: Respect the privacy of fellow students. Do not share screenshots of private conversations or personal information (doxing) outside of the server.

Account Security: You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Discord account. NihongoDekita is not liable for unauthorized access to your account.

6. Termination of Access

NihongoDekita reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to remove any member from the Discord server for:

Violation of these Terms of Agreement.

Non-payment or failed subscription renewals.

Behavior that is deemed disruptive to the learning environment. In cases of severe behavioral violations (harassment, IP theft), access may be terminated immediately without a refund.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

While we strive to provide the highest quality Japanese instruction, NihongoDekita provides its services "as is." We do not guarantee specific fluency outcomes or exam results. We are not responsible for technical outages caused by Discord, LaunchPass, or Stripe.

8. Modifications

NihongoDekita reserves the right to modify these terms at any time. Significant changes will be announced in the #announcements channel. Continued use of the server after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
