Im in australia and carry the emotional baggage of a 60 year old but have the emotional intelligence of a 10 year old. So i should probably pack my bags…
This is the first Tos I’ve ever bothered to sort of read thanks to the short summaries that cut through the BS legalese. So cheers. Do I get a prize? There’s the 10 year old inner me, wanting cake.
I see I am not the only one surprised about the age 13 thing…
Granted I think I only started using forums when I turned 12. But, ah, today’s youth are a different breed. Who knows what they might get interested in early. If I had language sites when I was a middleschooler like there are today, you bet I would have been rummaging around on them.
Most websites do have a 13+ policy because it’s simply more complicated / not legal for them to have people under 13. Not exactly ideal for a language learning community, but more ideal for social networking. Nonetheless, not much you can do.
It’s also been in the privacy policy since forever so there’s that I guess.
You really know how to motivate people to do things, you probably have some behavioral experts on board don’t you?
Well the tidbit I’m posting is the many ways I can screw up and you will not be held accountable, nice protection haha don’t know much about law yet but I liked of how many different hypothetical situations are considered on those terms.
Haha they made fun of me for being dumber than my 12 year old cousin, but jokes on him because I’m the only one getting WK xD
And also I commend you for being the first company I have seen to value not leaving the clients in ignorance in the offchance that it might be used against them if problem arises, that just built my trust in you further.
Since it goes against Wanikani’s TOS to share an account, not to mention that it would seriously mess up the SRS and who want’s that?, it would be awesome if Wanikani created a pricing tier for family use, or at least multiuser. My oldest son is about to start studying Japanese and I think Wanikani is the best resource out there for learning kanji. My youngest son will be starting Japanese next year. It’d be awesome to have an option for a family account–especially if there were a discount involved!
In your case it would indeed be awesome, but it’s also very easy to exploit. How do you even define “family”? How do you prove that you’re related to someone? Even if it says so on your personal ID or birth certificate from country XYZ, how is WaniKani going to confirm that it’s not fake ID?
Ah man, when I first saw this I was blown away. Why can’t more websites build a TOS like this? It’s actually…engaging? The summary at the top and the short versions are fantastic! Thank you for making it more readable and user friendly
I wonder if WK could have a recommendation program. Like if a friend registers for a credit card with my name as reference, I get some money. Or it could be a free month.
So, from the reading of “Must be of at least 13 years of age” and “only one user per account” I take it that the TOS prevents parents and/or guardians from sharing an account with a child to help them learn.
Over-all, this would be my only complaint, which considering I actually read every bit of fine print on every paperwork and TOS anymore. I have to admit, this is the first time I have something i agree to that only has a single minor complaint from me. Good on the Crabrigator. (Which, by TOS, cannot be a user either, as it is not human :-p )
