Effective as of July 14, 2025
Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) carefully. By accessing or using the multilingual AI translation software‑as‑a‑service made available at nani.im and any related applications or websites (collectively, the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.
Throughout this document, “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Kioku (or its affiliates), a Japanese limited liability company, and “you” or “User” refers to the individual or legal entity accessing or using the Service.
1.1 Account Creation. To use certain features, you must create an account through an authorised external identity provider. We may introduce password‑based log‑in; you are solely responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
1.2 Previous Suspensions. We reserve the right to refuse registration or cancel existing accounts where the applicant or associated organisation previously had an account suspended or terminated for breach of these Terms.
1.3 Accuracy of Information. You agree to provide and maintain accurate, complete, and up‑to‑date information for your account.
The Service provides machine‑generated translations of text, image files, and other content.
We may modify the functionality, benefits, or limits of any plan from time to time.
We grant you a personal, revocable, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable and limited licence to access and use the Service in accordance with these Terms. You must not (a) copy, modify, reverse‑engineer, or create derivative works based on the Service’s software, source code, or machine‑learning models (collectively, “Service Source”); (b) resell or commercially exploit the Service except as expressly authorised; or (c) use the Service to develop competing products or in any unlawful manner.
4.1 Fees and Billing Cycle. Subscription fees are charged in advance for each subscription period (e.g. monthly or annually, as selected at checkout).
4.2 Auto‑Renewal. Unless you cancel before the end of the current period, your subscription will automatically renew for the same duration and the applicable fee will be charged.
4.3 Payment Processing. Payments are processed by our third‑party provider, Stripe. We do not store your full credit‑card or other payment credentials.
4.4 Cancellation and Refunds. You may cancel at any time via the account settings. Cancellation prevents the next renewal; you will continue to have paid access until the end of the current period. Fees already paid are generally non‑refundable; however, if a refund is required by applicable law, we will comply with such requirement.
5.1 Your Content. You retain all rights to the text, documents, and other materials you submit for translation (“User Content”). Except where you intentionally share content through a sharing feature, translation results are stored only on your device and are not retained on our servers.
5.2 Licence to Process. Any text you upload will be used solely to perform translations. All copyrights and other rights remain with you, and we will not freely reuse or otherwise exploit your content for any secondary purposes.
5.3 Company IP. All software, algorithms, and content of the Service are owned by us or our licensors. Except for the limited licence above, no rights are granted.

We may suspend or remove content or accounts that violate this policy.
Your use of the Service is subject to our separate Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect personal data.
8.1 By Company. We may suspend or terminate your access, without refund, if you breach these Terms.
8.2 By User. You may terminate your account at any time in the settings panel. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of prepaid fees.
8.3 Effect. Upon termination, your licence to use the Service ceases and we may delete information associated with your account, subject to our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non‑infringement, accuracy of translation, and uninterrupted operation.
Neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms if such failure or delay is due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, earthquake, storms, acts of terrorism, riots, war, civil unrest, pandemics, government actions, or failures of public or private telecommunications networks. The affected party shall notify the other promptly and use reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates from any claims, losses, or damages (including legal fees) arising out of (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) your User Content, or (c) your misuse of the Service.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the revised Terms on our website and update the Effective Date above. If a change could reasonably disadvantage registered users, we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice by email, or obtain explicit consent on the website or application. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Questions about these Terms or the Service should be sent to hello@kiok.jp. Formal legal notices must be sent via email and will be deemed received on the next business day after transmission.
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remainder will remain in full force. Failure to enforce any right is not a waiver. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements.
These Terms are drafted in Japanese and English. For Users residing in Japan, the Japanese version shall prevail over the English version in the event of any inconsistency. For Users residing outside Japan, the English version shall prevail over the Japanese version. The non-prevailing language version is provided for reference only.
