2. What OpenToon Does

OpenToon allows users to paste web links to third-party content and generate translations for private reading.

OpenToon is a translation tool only. We do not own, operate, control, endorse, or provide the third-party websites, manga, manhwa, manhua, webtoons, comics, artwork, images, characters, brands, stories, or other materials that users choose to access or translate.

OpenToon does not grant you any rights to third-party content. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have the legal right to access, submit, translate, view, and use any content through OpenToon.

  3. ensuring your account information is accurate; and
  4. notifying us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.

You must not share, sell, rent, transfer, or allow others to use your account.

We may suspend or terminate your account if we reasonably believe that you have breached these Terms, abused the Service, violated intellectual property rights, attempted to bypass usage limits, misused credits or subscriptions, or used OpenToon in a way that creates legal, technical, security, reputational, or commercial risk.

5. Link-Based Translation

OpenToon currently allows users to paste web links for translation.

You must only submit links to content that you are legally permitted to access and use.

You agree that you will not use OpenToon to:

  1. access content in breach of a third-party website’s terms;
  2. redistribute third-party content;
  3. access private, unauthorised, leaked, stolen, or restricted content;
  4. translate content for which you do not have the necessary rights or legal basis; or
  5. use OpenToon as part of a piracy, scanlation, reposting, redistribution, or unauthorised content-sharing workflow.

OpenToon may refuse, fail to process, block, or limit certain links, websites, domains, content types, or requests at any time.

6. Private Reading Only

OpenToon is provided for your personal, private, non-commercial reading use only.

You must not use OpenToon to:

  1. publish translated chapters;
  2. share translated chapters publicly;
  3. upload translated chapters to websites, forums, social media, Discord servers, Telegram channels, file-sharing platforms, or other public or semi-public spaces;
  4. sell, license, monetise, or commercially exploit translated content;
  5. operate a translation, scanlation, piracy, reposting, or content redistribution service;
  6. create public libraries, archives, collections, or databases of translated content;
  7. train, fine-tune, benchmark, or evaluate AI models using third-party manga, manhwa, manhua, webtoon, comic, or translated content without permission; or
  8. use OpenToon in a way that competes with or undermines lawful distribution channels for third-party works.

You are responsible for how you use any translation generated through OpenToon.

7. No Public Library

OpenToon does not provide a public manga, manhwa, manhua, webtoon, or comic library.

OpenToon does not host or make available a public catalogue of translated third-party chapters.

Any third-party content accessed, imported, translated, or viewed through OpenToon remains the property of its respective rights holders.

OpenToon does not claim ownership of third-party content and does not grant you any licence to use third-party content beyond what you already lawfully have.

8. User-Provided Content and Links

When you use OpenToon, you may provide links, prompts, account information, glossary terms, reading preferences, feedback, and other information.

This is called “User Content.”

You retain whatever rights you already have in your User Content. However, by submitting User Content to OpenToon, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to process, host, store, reproduce, analyse, modify, translate, transmit, and otherwise use your User Content solely as necessary to provide, maintain, protect, support, and improve the Service.

This licence includes the right to process User Content through third-party infrastructure providers, AI model providers, analytics providers, payment processors, cloud services, security tools, and other vendors that help us operate OpenToon.

You represent and warrant that:

  1. you own or have the necessary rights, permissions, licences, or legal basis to submit your User Content to OpenToon;
  2. your use of OpenToon will not infringe any copyright, trademark, moral right, privacy right, publicity right, contractual right, or other third-party right;
  3. your User Content does not contain unlawful, harmful, abusive, exploitative, or malicious material; and
  4. your User Content does not violate these Terms or applicable law.

9. No Server-Side Storage of Translated Chapters

OpenToon does not store translated chapters or uploaded images on our servers.

OpenToon processes content as necessary to provide the translation and reading experience. Some data may still be temporarily processed, cached, logged, transmitted, or handled by our systems or vendors for technical, security, billing, debugging, abuse prevention, analytics, legal compliance, or service operation purposes.

For example, we may process or retain account information, payment status, credit balances, usage records, error logs, device information, submitted links, support communications, and security logs.

We may also retain aggregated, anonymised, or de-identified information that does not identify you.

More information about how we handle personal data is provided in our Privacy Policy.

10. Copyright and Third-Party Rights

You must not use OpenToon to infringe copyright or any other intellectual property rights.

You agree that you will not use OpenToon to:

  1. translate, copy, download, store, distribute, or modify content unless you have the legal right to do so;

  3. publish, share, sell, upload, or distribute translated content without permission from the rights holder;
  4. create or operate piracy websites, scanlation sites, reposting channels, or unauthorised content libraries;

OpenToon does not endorse or authorise infringement.

If you use OpenToon with third-party content, you are responsible for making sure your use is lawful.

We may remove content, disable features, suspend accounts, limit access, or terminate users where we reasonably believe there is copyright infringement, suspected infringement, rights-holder complaints, platform policy risk, repeated misuse, or legal risk.

11. Adult and Mature Content

OpenToon may technically process web links that users choose to submit, including links to third-party content that may be adult, mature, explicit, violent, or otherwise unsuitable for minors.

OpenToon does not create, publish, endorse, or control third-party adult or mature content. Users choose which third-party websites and links they access.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that:

  1. you are legally permitted to access the content you submit;
  2. you meet any applicable age requirements;
  3. the content is lawful in your jurisdiction;
  4. your use of the content complies with the third-party website’s terms; and

We may block, restrict, suspend, or terminate access where we reasonably believe OpenToon is being used for unlawful, exploitative, abusive, or platform-prohibited content.

12. AI Translation Output

OpenToon uses artificial intelligence and automated systems to generate translations.

AI-generated translations may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, offensive, misleading, or unsuitable for your intended purpose. Names, pronouns, tone, cultural references, formatting, reading order, dialogue attribution, sound effects, and context may be translated incorrectly.

You are responsible for reviewing and verifying any translation output before relying on it.

We do not guarantee that:

  1. translations will be accurate, complete, or error-free;
  2. translations will preserve the original meaning, tone, style, formatting, or intent;
  3. the Service will correctly identify speakers, bubbles, captions, sound effects, panels, or reading order;
  4. AI output will be free from bias, hallucinations, or inappropriate wording;
  5. any translation output will be suitable for publication or commercial use; or
  6. any translation output will be lawful for your specific use case.

You must not represent AI-generated translations from OpenToon as official, licensed, authorised, human-certified, publisher-approved, or rights-holder-approved translations unless you have separately obtained the necessary rights and approvals.

13. Third-Party AI Providers

OpenToon may use third-party AI model providers, infrastructure providers, cloud providers, analytics providers, and other vendors to operate the Service.

By using OpenToon, you acknowledge that your submitted links, extracted text, prompts, glossary terms, translation requests, outputs, usage data, and related information may be processed by third-party providers as necessary to provide the Service.

You must not submit confidential, highly sensitive, unlawful, private, or restricted information that you do not have permission to process through third-party AI systems.

We will take reasonable steps to protect user data, but we do not control every aspect of third-party AI providers’ systems, models, or outputs.

We may change prices, plans, credit amounts, subscription benefits, feature availability, or usage limits from time to time. Where required, we will provide notice or obtain consent before changes apply to existing subscriptions.

15. Refunds

For purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play, refund requests are handled according to the applicable app store’s rules and processes.

For purchases made on the web, refund requests may be considered at our discretion unless otherwise required by applicable law.

17. Usage Limits and Fair Use

OpenToon may include usage limits, credit limits, subscription limits, rate limits, daily limits, fair usage policies, device limits, or other restrictions.

We may change or enforce limits at any time to protect the Service, prevent abuse, manage costs, comply with law, maintain quality, or ensure fair access for other users.

You must not attempt to bypass usage limits through multiple accounts, automation, scripts, bots, modified clients, account sharing, payment abuse, or any other method.
