The Service allows users to learn Japanese through a variety of features, including AI-based speaking practice, SRS flashcards, and phrasebooks. Benkyō Mashou may, at its sole discretion, update, modify, or discontinue any aspect of the Service temporarily or permanently.
The mobile app can be used without an account. The learning dashboard on our website requires an account with your name, email address and a password. The information you give us must be accurate, an account is for one person, and you are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for activity under your account.
3. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions
All in-app purchases and subscriptions for Benkyō Mashou are handled by third-party platforms, including Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and RevenueCat. By making a purchase or subscribing to the Service, you agree to abide by the payment terms and policies of these platforms.
Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless canceled at least 24 hours before the renewal date. Subscription management, including cancellations, must be handled through your Apple or Google account settings. Benkyō Mashou cannot process subscription cancellations directly.
Subscriptions bought on our website are billed by Benkyō Mashou through Stripe, our payment processor, and require an account. New subscribers start with a 7-day free trial. Your card is taken at checkout and is first charged when the trial ends, unless you cancel before then. After that, the subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly, every 3 months or yearly, depending on the plan you chose) at the price shown at checkout, until you cancel.
You can cancel a website subscription at any time from the Account page of your dashboard, which opens Stripe's billing page. When you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for and you are not charged again. A subscription bought on the website cannot be managed through your Apple or Google account.
4. Refund Policy
Benkyō Mashou offers a full refund if the refund is requested within 14 days of the transaction date(purchased date). After 14 days, refunds are not accepted. Refunds must be requested through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store in accordance with their respective refund policies. If further assistance is needed, you can contact us at hello@benkyoumashou.com.
For subscriptions bought on our website, we offer a full refund of your most recent payment if you request it within 7 days of that payment. Earlier payments are not refundable. To request a refund, email hello@benkyoumashou.com from the email address on your account.
