  • Use the app only for its intended purpose of learning Japanese
  • Not attempt to reverse engineer, modify, or distribute the app

5. AI Features Disclaimer

The app includes AI-powered conversation practice. AI responses are generated dynamically and may occasionally contain errors. The AI tutor is a learning tool and should not be considered a definitive authority on the Japanese language.
