6. Intellectual Property

All content on Hangul Hero — including lesson text, vocabulary data, AI-generated examples, design, and code — is owned by or licensed to Hangul Hero. You may not reproduce or redistribute it without written permission.

Korean language itself is not owned by anyone. The specific presentation, selection, and organisation of content within the platform is our intellectual property.

7. User-Generated Content

If the Service allows you to add words, notes, or other content, you retain ownership of that content. By submitting it, you grant Hangul Hero a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store and display it as part of the Service.

8. AI-Generated Content

Example sentences on Hangul Hero may be generated by AI (specifically Anthropic's Claude). These are labelled "AI Example". While we strive for accuracy, AI-generated content may occasionally contain errors. Do not rely on it as a sole source of Korean language instruction.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, complete accuracy of content, or that the Service will meet your specific learning goals.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Hangul Hero is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability to you for any claim does not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms. You may delete your account at any time. Upon termination, your data will be erased in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes with at least 14 days' notice via email or in-app notification. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Hangul Hero operates, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes will be resolved in that jurisdiction.
