MangaOra

Welcome to MangaOra. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and NextGenOra (nextgenora.com), which operates the MangaOra platform and related services ("Service", "MangaOra"). By creating an account, accessing, or using MangaOra (including our website at mangaora.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Description of the Service

MangaOra is an AI-assisted platform for creating manga and comics. It includes tools for story input and analysis, character creation and prompts, page and panel planning, AI-powered panel and image generation, and export for web and print. Features, limits, and pricing may change over time as described on our Pricing page and in-product. We may offer free and paid tiers; paid subscriptions and one-time credit packs are subject to the terms described at purchase and in these Terms.

2. Eligibility and Account

You must be at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age of consent in your jurisdiction) to use MangaOra. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement and have the authority to enter into these Terms. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. You must notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We are not liable for losses arising from unauthorized use of your account.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree to use MangaOra only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not:

Create, upload, or distribute content that is illegal, harmful, defamatory, harassing, obscene, infringing of intellectual property or other rights of others, or that promotes violence or discrimination.
Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation.
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, other users' accounts, or any third-party systems connected to the Service.
Circumvent or attempt to circumvent usage limits, access controls, or billing (e.g., by creating multiple accounts, scraping, or using automated tools in violation of our policies).
Overload, disrupt, or impair the integrity or performance of the Service or any related systems.
Use the Service to train AI or machine-learning models that compete with or replicate MangaOra without our written permission.

We may suspend or terminate your account and access to the Service if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law. We may also remove content that violates these Terms or that we otherwise deem inappropriate.

4. Subscriptions, Billing, and Credits

Paid plans: Subscription plans are billed in advance on a monthly (or other interval as stated at signup) basis. Fees are non-refundable except as required by law or as stated in our refund policy. You may cancel your subscription at any time; cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period, and you will retain access until then.

Usage limits: Your plan includes a monthly allowance for certain features (e.g., AI panel generation, image transformations). Use in excess of your allowance may require a higher plan or the purchase of add-on credit packs. Add-on credits are one-time purchases; they are applied when your monthly allowance is exhausted and do not reset each month—they remain until used (subject to any expiry stated at purchase).

Payment: Payments are processed by Stripe. By subscribing or purchasing credits, you agree to Stripe's terms and our pricing as displayed at the time of purchase. Price changes will not affect your current billing period unless we state otherwise. We may change prices for future periods with notice as required by law.

Refunds: Refund requests are considered on a case-by-case basis. Contact us at info@nextgenora.com. Where required by law (e.g., EU consumer rights), we will comply with applicable refund obligations.

5. Your Content and Licenses

Ownership: You retain ownership of the content you create and upload to MangaOra (e.g., stories, character descriptions, prompts, uploaded images) ("Your Content"), subject to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

License to us: By submitting Your Content to the Service, you grant NextGenOra a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, store, process, reproduce, and display Your Content as necessary to provide, operate, and improve MangaOra (including sending content to third-party AI providers for generation, storing outputs, and enabling exports). This license survives until you delete the content or close your account, except where we need to retain copies for legal or operational reasons.

AI-generated output: Output generated by our AI features (e.g., panel images) is made available to you for use in accordance with your plan. Such output may be subject to third-party AI provider terms. You are responsible for ensuring your use of generated content complies with applicable law and these Terms.

You represent that you have all rights necessary to submit Your Content and to grant the license above, and that Your Content does not violate these Terms or any third-party rights.

6. Intellectual Property

The MangaOra name, logo, design, and the platform (including software, layout, and non-user-generated content) are owned by NextGenOra or its licensors. These Terms do not grant you any right to use our trademarks or to copy, modify, reverse-engineer, or resell the Service except as expressly permitted (e.g., using the Service in the normal course). You may not remove any proprietary notices or create derivative works based on the Service without our written permission.

7. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE. AI OUTPUTS ARE GENERATED BY THIRD-PARTY SYSTEMS AND MAY VARY; THEY DO NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL, PROFESSIONAL, OR TAX ADVICE. YOU USE THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEXTGENORA AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM (OR, IF NO AMOUNT WAS PAID, ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES; IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless NextGenOra and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the Service, (b) Your Content, (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law, or (d) your violation of any third-party rights.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause or notice, including for violation of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We may retain your data as described in our Privacy Policy. Sections that by their nature should survive (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will survive termination.

11. Disputes and Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. You waive any right to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration. If you are a consumer in the European Union or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protection laws, your statutory rights remain unaffected.

12. Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the revised Terms on this page and update the "Last updated" date. For material changes, we may notify you by email or through a notice in the Service. Your continued use of MangaOra after the effective date of changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service and may close your account.

13. General

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies or guidelines we publish in the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and NextGenOra regarding MangaOra. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision does not waive that right or provision. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
