These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Anime.com. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Notice and Community Guidelines.
If you don’t agree, don’t use the Service.
Heads up — these Terms contain:
Read these sections carefully. They affect your legal rights.
These Terms are a binding agreement between you and Anime.com Inc. (“Anime.com,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you’re using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
To use Anime.com, you must:
By using the Service, you represent and warrant that: (i) you are at least 13 years of age; (ii) if you are under 18 years of age (or under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if different), your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf and consents to your use of the Service; and (iii) you have not been previously suspended or removed from the Service.
If you are a parent or legal guardian agreeing to these Terms on behalf of a minor between the ages of 13 and 18, you are fully responsible for the minor’s use of the Service, including all financial charges and legal liability that the minor may incur.
We reserve the right to require verification of age at any time. If we learn that a user is under 13 years of age, we will promptly delete that user’s account and all associated personal information. If you believe that a child under 13 has created an account on the Service, please contact us at support@anime.com.
You can create an account by providing an email address and verifying it with a magic-link code we send. You’re responsible for keeping your email account secure, since access to it allows access to your Anime.com account.
You’re responsible for:
You may not maintain multiple accounts to evade enforcement actions or to manipulate engagement (votes, follows, comments).
You can delete your account at any time:
Deletion removes or anonymizes your identifiable data within 30 days. See our Privacy Notice for details.
When you use Anime.com, you agree not to:
Your use of the Service is also governed by our Community Guidelines, which describe what content and behavior are prohibited and how we enforce.
The Community Guidelines are part of these Terms. Violating them is a violation of these Terms.
“Your Content” means any content you submit, upload, post, or otherwise make available on or through the Service — including posts, reviews, ratings, comments, tier lists, grids, polls, direct messages, profile information, and uploaded images.
You own Your Content. These Terms don’t transfer ownership of Your Content to us.
By submitting Your Content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for technical purposes like resizing), publicly display, publicly perform, and distribute Your Content within the Service and in connection with operating, promoting, and improving the Service.
Direct messages are private. Although direct messages are Your Content, the public-facing parts of the license above do not apply to them. We host, store, and process direct messages only to deliver them to the participants you choose and for moderation and safety — we do not publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, or use direct messages to promote the Service.
This license continues for as long as Your Content is on the Service. When you delete Your Content or your account, this license ends for new uses of Your Content, except:
By submitting Your Content, you represent and warrant that:
We may, but are not obligated to, review, moderate, or remove Your Content. We may remove, restrict, or refuse to display Your Content at our discretion, including without notice, if we believe it violates these Terms, our Community Guidelines, or applicable law.
If you send us suggestions, feedback, or feature requests, we may use them without obligation to you.
The Service — including the Anime.com name, logo, design, software, recommendation algorithms, and original written content — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws.
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms. This license does not include any right to:
The Service displays content from third parties, including:
We do not endorse and are not responsible for third-party content. Your use of third-party websites or services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
We respect intellectual property rights and respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement.
If you believe Your Content has been infringed on the Service, file a notice following our DMCA process at anime.com/legal/dmca.
We may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
By creating an account, you agree to receive transactional communications from us — including verification emails, security notices, and important Service announcements.
With your permission, we may send you push notifications and marketing emails. You can opt out at any time:
You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time, as described in Section 3.
We may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Service, with or without notice, if we believe you have:
For severe violations (CSAM, threats of violence, illegal activity), we may terminate without warning.
On termination:
You represent and warrant that (a) you are not located in a Restricted Territory and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. “Restricted Territory” means Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhian regions of Ukraine, Afghanistan, Belarus, Nicaragua, Russia, Somalia, Venezuela, Yemen and any other country to which the United States embargoes goods or imposes similar sanctions.
You agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the Service (for example, your wireless data service agreement).
The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties — express, implied, statutory, or otherwise — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that any content (including Your Content or third-party content) will be accurate, reliable, or available.
Anime metadata, recommendations, and other content are provided for informational purposes only. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any content on the Service.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; the disclaimers above apply to the maximum extent permitted in your jurisdiction.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will we, our affiliates, or our service providers be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses — arising out of or related to your use of the Service.
Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) US $100.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; the limits above apply to the maximum extent permitted in your jurisdiction.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Anime.com, our affiliates, and our service providers from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:
We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, at your expense.
Please read this section carefully. It affects how disputes between you and us are resolved and limits your rights to bring a lawsuit or participate in a class action.
If you have a dispute with us, contact us at legal@anime.com first. Most disputes can be resolved this way. You agree to attempt informal resolution for at least 60 days before initiating arbitration.
If informal resolution doesn’t work, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by AAA under their applicable consumer rules.
The arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles, CA or, at your election, by phone or video. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding.
You and we agree to bring claims against each other only in our individual capacities, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action.
The agreement to arbitrate does not apply to:
You can opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing legal@anime.com with your name, email, and a clear statement that you want to opt out.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. To the extent any dispute is not subject to arbitration, you and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.
If you’re a consumer in the EU, UK, or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer-protection laws, those laws apply to the extent they grant you rights that cannot be waived by contract.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will:
Continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you don’t accept them, stop using the Service and delete your account.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Notice and Community Guidelines, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision.
You may not assign these Terms or any rights under them. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.
We may give notices to you by email to the address on your account, by posting in the app, or by posting on the Service. You may give notices to us at legal@anime.com.
