Last updated: March 25, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using Binge Senpai. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Binge Senpai ("Binge Senpai," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the Service.

These Terms apply to all visitors, registered users, API consumers, team members, and any other person who accesses the Service in any capacity.

Age requirement: You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age. We do not knowingly permit anyone under 18 to use the Service. If we discover that a user is under 18, we will terminate their account and delete their personal data.

For users in Mexico, data portability rights are further described in the ARCO rights section of our Privacy Policy. For users in the European Economic Area, these rights are provided under GDPR Article 20.

5. AI Features and the Senpai Chat Assistant

5.1 Nature of AI Features

Senpai is an artificial intelligence system, not a human. When you use the "Chat with Senpai" feature, you are interacting with an AI chatbot powered by Claude (created by Anthropic, PBC) accessed through OpenRouter, Inc. This disclosure is provided in accordance with the EU AI Act Article 50(1).

Senpai has access to tools that allow it to search our content database, view your library and profile, and — at your direction — add or modify entries in your library. When Senpai modifies your library, it does so based on its interpretation of your instructions.

5.2 Accuracy and Reliability

AI-Generated Content may contain inaccuracies, including material inaccuracies that may appear plausible. You acknowledge and agree that:

5.3 Library Modifications by Senpai

Senpai can modify your library entries (add titles, change statuses, update scores and progress) when you instruct it to do so through conversation. You acknowledge that:

5.4 Conversation Data

Your Conversation Data is stored on our servers and processed by third-party AI providers as described in our Privacy Policy. You may star, rename, and delete individual conversations at any time. Deleted conversations are permanently removed from our systems, with sub-processor copies purged within their stated retention periods.

5.5 Prohibited Uses of AI Features

You agree not to use AI Features to:

Violation of these restrictions may result in temporary or permanent suspension of your access to AI Features or your entire account.

6. AI-Generated Content

6.1 Scope

The following content on the Service is generated by artificial intelligence and is labeled as such:

6.2 Intellectual Property Status

AI-Generated Content may not be eligible for copyright protection under applicable law. Courts in multiple jurisdictions have held that AI-generated works without human authorship do not qualify for copyright registration. Accordingly:

6.3 Labeling

AI-Generated Content on the Service is identified through visual labels (such as "AI-generated" badges or similar indicators). In compliance with the EU AI Act Article 50(2), we will mark AI-generated text content in a machine-readable format where technically feasible.

7. User Data and Library Management

7.1 Your Data, Your Ownership

You retain ownership of your User Data — including your library entries, scores, progress tracking, collections, favorites, and conversation history. We do not claim ownership over data you create within the Service.

7.2 License Grant to Binge Senpai

By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, process, and display your User Data solely for the purposes of:

This license terminates when you delete your account or the relevant data, subject to our retention periods described in the Privacy Policy.

7.3 Collections

Collections you create — including custom named collections and your use of system collections (Favorites, Watchlist, Set Aside) — are part of your User Data. The organizational structure and curation of your collections is yours. We may display aggregate collection statistics (e.g., most-collected titles) without identifying individual users.

8. Data Import from Third-Party Services

8.1 Supported Imports

The Service allows you to import anime and manga tracking data from:

8.2 Your Representations and Warranties

By importing data, you represent and warrant that:

8.3 Import Processing

Imported data is processed using automated matching algorithms to map entries to our content database. This process may involve multi-season splitting, conflict resolution, and approximate title matching. We make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy but:

8.4 Imported Custom Lists

Custom lists from Crunchyroll exports are automatically imported as Collections within Binge Senpai. These become part of your User Data and are governed by the same terms.

9. Team Accounts

9.1 Creation and Administration

You may create a Team Account by providing a team name and optionally an avatar. The creator of a Team Account is its initial Owner. Owners have full administrative privileges, including inviting and removing members, assigning roles, and transferring ownership.

9.2 Roles and Responsibilities

9.3 Data and Departure

9.4 Ownership Transfer

Team ownership may be transferred to another Admin with the consent of both parties. If a team Owner deletes their personal account without transferring ownership, the team may be dissolved or transferred to the next Admin at our discretion.

9.5 Liability

Team Owners and Admins are responsible for the activities of their team members to the extent those activities are conducted through the Team Account. We may suspend or terminate a Team Account if any team member violates these Terms.

10. API Access and Tokens

10.1 Token Creation and Security

You may create named API Tokens for programmatic access to the Service. API Tokens are displayed once at creation — we store only a cryptographic hash and cannot recover the plaintext token. You are solely responsible for:

10.2 Acceptable API Use

When using the API, you agree to:

10.3 API Availability

The API is provided "as available." We reserve the right to modify, deprecate, or discontinue API endpoints at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of breaking changes, but we do not guarantee backwards compatibility.

10.4 Enforcement

API misuse will result in graduated enforcement: warning → rate limiting → temporary token suspension → permanent token revocation → account suspension. We reserve the right to skip enforcement steps for severe violations.

11. Chrome Extension

The Binge Senpai Chrome Extension facilitates exporting your tracking data from supported third-party platforms (currently Crunchyroll) for import into Binge Senpai. By installing and using the Chrome Extension:

12. Mature Content (NSFW)

12.1 Age Verification

By default, the Service displays content rated G through R+. Access to NSFW content (rated R-X) requires you to:

Your NSFW preference is stored in your browser session and resets when you log out.

12.2 Tracking Metadata, Not Content Hosting

Binge Senpai is an anime and manga tracking and discovery platform. We display metadata about anime and manga titles (titles, synopses, cover art, episode information, ratings) for informational and cataloging purposes. We do not host, stream, or distribute the actual anime or manga content itself. Links to external streaming platforms or reading sources are provided for your convenience.

12.3 Your Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for ensuring that accessing mature-rated anime/manga metadata complies with the laws of your jurisdiction. We reserve the right to implement geographic restrictions or additional age verification measures as required by applicable law.

13. Third-Party Content and External Links

13.1 Content Database

Our Content Database of 40,000+ anime and manga titles aggregates metadata from multiple sources. This metadata — including titles, synopses, episode lists, character and staff information, genres, ratings, and cover art — is compiled and displayed for informational and cataloging purposes.

Cover art and promotional images are displayed in reduced resolution for identification and reference purposes, in a manner consistent with industry practice among anime and manga tracking platforms. All rights to such images remain with their respective rights holders.

13.2 Videos and Trailers

The Service may embed or link to videos from YouTube and other platforms. Such embeds are governed by the respective platform's terms of service (including the YouTube Terms of Service). We do not host video content.

13.3 Community Reviews and Recommendations

The Service may display community reviews and user-generated recommendations sourced from external platforms. This content is provided for informational purposes. We do not verify, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy of community-contributed content.

13.4 External Links

The Service contains links to third-party websites, including anime streaming platforms, databases, and information resources. We have no control over the content, availability, privacy practices, or terms of these external sites. Clicking an external link takes you outside the Service, and your use of those sites is governed by their own terms.

13.5 No Endorsement

The inclusion of any third-party content, link, or reference on the Service does not constitute endorsement, affiliation, or recommendation by Binge Senpai.

14. Intellectual Property

14.1 Binge Senpai's Intellectual Property

The Service — including its design, code, user interface, logos, trademarks, and original content — is owned by or licensed to Binge Senpai and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works based on the Service without our prior written consent.

14.2 Third-Party Intellectual Property

Anime and manga titles, character designs, cover art, and related intellectual property belong to their respective rights holders (studios, publishers, authors, artists). Binge Senpai displays this material for informational and cataloging purposes. If you are a rights holder and believe that material on the Service infringes your rights, please see Section 15.

14.3 Your Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of the User Data you create, including the curation and organization of your Collections. The license you grant us (Section 7.2) is limited to operating the Service.

14.4 Database Compilation Rights

The selection, coordination, and arrangement of our Content Database as a whole constitutes an original compilation. Systematic extraction, scraping, or reproduction of a substantial portion of the database is prohibited.

15. Copyright Notice and Takedown

We respect intellectual property rights and respond to valid copyright infringement notices under both Mexico's Federal Copyright Law (Ley Federal del Derecho de Autor, LFDA) and the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

15.1 Filing a Takedown Notice

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to our designated agent with the following information:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
  3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with sufficient detail for us to locate it (e.g., URL).
  4. Your contact information (name, address, telephone number, and email).
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

If you believe content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notification including:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the removed material and its prior location.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and consent to the jurisdiction of the applicable courts.

Under Mexico's LFDA, we will restore removed content within 15 business days of receiving a valid counter-notification unless the complainant initiates judicial proceedings.

16.1 Account Violations

We will provide a statement of reasons for any content restriction or account action, as required by applicable law.

17. Push Notifications and Communications

The Service offers push notifications through browser, iOS (APNS), and Android (FCM) channels. Push notifications are opt-in only — we will never send push notifications without your explicit consent through the operating system's permission dialog.

You may revoke notification consent at any time through your browser or device settings as described in our Privacy Policy.

By creating an account, you consent to receive transactional communications necessary for the operation of the Service, including:

These communications are not marketing and cannot be opted out of while maintaining an account.

17.3 Platform Announcements

We may publish platform announcements about new features, improvements, and updates. These are displayed within the Service and tracked for read status to avoid duplicate display. You may contact us to opt out of non-essential announcement notifications.

18. PWA and Mobile Applications

The Service is available as a Progressive Web App (PWA) installable from your browser, and through native app wrappers for iOS and Android (using Hotwire Native).

18.1 App Store Terms

If you download or access the Service through Apple's App Store or Google Play, you also agree to the applicable app store's terms of service. Apple and Google are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with respect to their respective mobile applications and have the right to enforce these Terms against you.

18.2 PWA and Offline Functionality

The PWA may cache content locally on your device for improved performance. Cached content may become stale and may not reflect the latest data. You can clear cached data by uninstalling the PWA or clearing your browser storage.

18.3 Account Deletion via App

Account deletion functionality is available within the mobile applications, consistent with our obligations under app store policies.

19. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

19.1 Service Provided "As Available"

The Service is provided on an "as available" basis. We make reasonable efforts to maintain availability and functionality but do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or secure operation. The Service is currently provided free of charge, and no service level agreement (SLA) is offered.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of material changes.

19.2 No Professional Advice

The Service provides entertainment and informational content about anime and manga. Nothing on the Service constitutes professional, legal, financial, or medical advice. AI-Generated Content is not a substitute for professional judgment.

19.3 Third-Party Content Disclaimer

We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of Third-Party Content displayed on the Service, including anime/manga metadata, ratings, episode schedules, streaming availability, or community reviews. Information may be outdated, incomplete, or incorrect.

19.4 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

Important notice for users in Mexico: Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability in ways prohibited by Mexico's Ley Federal de Protección al Consumidor (LFPC). Your statutory rights under the LFPC — including the right to effective prevention and reparation of damages (Article 1, fraction IV), the right to adequate information (Article 1, fraction III), and access to consumer protection authorities — are not affected by these Terms. Where these Terms conflict with mandatory Mexican consumer protection law, the law prevails.

Important notice for users in the European Union: Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence, (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, (c) any liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory EU consumer protection law, including the Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) and the Unfair Contract Terms Directive (93/13/EEC). EU consumers retain all rights granted by the mandatory provisions of their country of residence.

20. Dispute Resolution

20.1 Informal Resolution

If you have a concern or dispute about the Service, we encourage you to first contact us at [email protected] so we can attempt to resolve the matter informally. We will make good faith efforts to respond within 15 business days.

20.2 For Users in Mexico

As a Mexican consumer, you have the right to file complaints with the Procuraduría Federal del Consumidor (PROFECO) regardless of any dispute resolution clause in these Terms. PROFECO has mandatory jurisdiction over consumer disputes in Mexico.

We will participate in PROFECO conciliation proceedings in accordance with the LFPC.

20.3 For Users in the European Union

EU consumers may bring claims in the courts of their country of residence for disputes arising from these Terms, in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 (Brussels I Recast) and the Rome I Regulation (Article 6). Nothing in these Terms requires EU consumers to submit to exclusive jurisdiction in Mexico or to mandatory arbitration.

Your mandatory consumer protection rights under the laws of your EU Member State of residence are fully preserved, regardless of the governing law clause in these Terms.

20.4 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Mexico. However, this choice of law does not deprive consumers in other jurisdictions of the protection afforded by the mandatory provisions of their local law, including but not limited to:

21. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Binge Senpai and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

For users in Mexico and the EU: This indemnification clause applies only to the extent permitted by mandatory consumer protection law. It does not apply to situations caused by our own negligence, breach, or failure to comply with legal obligations.

22. General Provisions

22.1 Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters (earthquakes, hurricanes, floods), pandemics or epidemics, cyberattacks or distributed denial-of-service attacks, failure of third-party services (hosting providers, CDN, API providers, payment processors), government actions, sanctions, or regulatory changes, internet infrastructure failures, power outages, and acts of war or terrorism.

We will notify you promptly of any force majeure event and make reasonable efforts to mitigate its impact on the Service.

22.2 Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if:

Where feasible, we will provide notice and a statement of reasons before or at the time of suspension/termination. You may appeal account actions by contacting [email protected].

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. You may request export of your User Data within 30 days of termination.

22.3 Modifications to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. For material changes, we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice via email and/or a prominent in-app notice before the changes take effect. For minor changes (typo corrections, clarifications), updated posting on this page is sufficient.

If you disagree with the revised Terms, you may delete your account before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

22.4 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if modification is not possible, severed. The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

22.5 Waiver

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by us to be effective.

22.6 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice to you as provided in Section 22.3.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Binge Senpai regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and negotiations.

These Terms may be available in languages other than English. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the English version and any translated version, the English version shall prevail, except where prohibited by local law.

If you encounter accessibility barriers, please contact us at [email protected] and we will make reasonable efforts to address them.

22.10 Service Level and Future Changes

The Service is currently provided free of charge. We reserve the right to introduce paid features, tiers, or subscriptions in the future with advance notice. Free features available at the time of any such change may be modified or restricted, but we will provide at least 30 days' notice before materially reducing free-tier functionality.
