Terms of Use
1. Agreement
These terms apply to the Ippo Nihongo app and this website, provided by legal entity name, postal address. By using the app you agree to them. Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies, and where these terms are silent, Apple's terms govern.
2. Licence
We grant you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app on Apple devices you own or control, as allowed by the App Store rules.
3. Free part, trial and purchase
- Part of the app is free to use without time limit: all hiragana and katakana, the first N5 unit, the daily review of what you learned, and the widget.
- The full app is unlocked with a one-time in-app purchase of CHF 39, or the local equivalent shown in the App Store. It is not a subscription and nothing renews.
- A 7-day free trial of the full app is offered once per Apple Account. It is a free item in the App Store: nothing is charged and there is nothing to cancel. When it ends, the app returns to the free part and keeps your progress.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies at reportaproblem.apple.com.
4. Content
Lessons, vocabulary and other content are provided for learning. We work hard to keep them accurate, but we cannot guarantee they are free of errors. Some data comes from third-party sources used under their licences and listed in the app under About: stroke order from KanjiVG, dictionary data from JMdict and KANJIDIC2, JLPT word lists by Jonathan Waller.
5. Acceptable use
Do not copy, resell, reverse engineer or redistribute the app or its content except where the law allows.
6. Your data
Your study data is stored on your device and is your responsibility to back up. See our Privacy Policy.
7. Updates and availability
We may update, change or stop parts of the app. We aim to keep everything you have paid for working on supported iOS versions.
8. Warranty and liability
The app is provided as is. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, or your statutory consumer rights.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by governing law, for example Swiss law. Place of jurisdiction is place of jurisdiction, subject to mandatory consumer protection rules.
