Terms of use

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) form an agreement between you and the haneoka project maintainers concerning your access to and use of haneoka. By creating an account, selecting the agreement checkbox, submitting content, or otherwise using the Service after these Terms take effect, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not create an account or use restricted features.

Effective and last updated: September 27, 2026

Eligibility and authority

You must be legally capable of agreeing to these Terms. If you are below the age of legal majority, a parent or legal guardian must review and agree where required by law. You may not use the Service if applicable law prohibits you from doing so. If you use the Service for an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind it. The public archive remains viewable without creating an account, subject to the provisions that apply to all visitors.

Unofficial project, game materials, and project code

haneoka is an independent, unofficial, non-commercial fan project for learning and community exchange. It is not authorized, approved, endorsed, or sponsored by, affiliated with, or otherwise connected to BanG Dream! Project, Bushiroad Inc., FROM TOKYO Inc., bilibili game, or any other rights holder. Game-related names, marks, characters, artwork, images, audio, music, video, stories, text, data, fonts, and other materials displayed or indexed by the Service are compiled from sources accessible on the Internet. Copyrights, trademarks, and other applicable rights in those materials remain with their respective owners. The Service displays and indexes them solely to support individual learning, research, commentary, and non-commercial community exchange. Online availability, source attribution, or inclusion in the Service does not place material in the public domain, verify its provenance or authorization, establish that the Operator owns or may license it, or grant the Operator or any user permission for further use. Haneoka-authored Source Code Form and MPL-covered adaptations in the current revision are available under MPL-2.0 unless a file or notice states otherwise. Third-party and derived components retain their own licenses. The repository license does not cover game-related materials, names, marks, publisher code, proprietary runtimes, separately licensed components, or rights held by another person. haneoka expressly opposes and prohibits improper use of the Service or game-related materials, including unauthorized redistribution, sale, commercial exploitation, bulk repackaging, removal of rights notices, circumvention of access or usage controls, and conduct that infringes rights or violates law. Unless expressly permitted by the relevant rights holder or applicable law, you must not download material for reuse, copy, republish, adapt, distribute, commercialize, use it in a model or dataset, or otherwise exploit it.

Account registration and consent

Email registration requires control of the submitted mailbox and completion of the password-setting link. Do not register an address you do not control, impersonate another person, create deceptive identities, or evade a prior restriction. Information you provide must be materially accurate and kept reasonably current. A public numeric UID is an account identifier, not proof of identity, seniority, ownership, or official status. You must protect your email account, password, recovery links, OAuth account, devices, and sessions. You are responsible for activity performed through your credentials to the extent permitted by law. Notify the Operator promptly of suspected compromise and use the available controls to reset credentials or revoke sessions. Accounts and permissions may not be sold, transferred, rented, or shared to evade enforcement.

License to use the Service

Subject to these Terms, the Operator grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Service for personal, non-commercial, lawful purposes and any other use expressly permitted by the Operator. This license does not include ownership of the Service, source data, third-party material, or other users’ content. These Service-access restrictions do not limit rights separately granted by MPL-2.0 or another open-source license in the corresponding source code. Except where the Operator or applicable law expressly permits it, you may not reproduce the Service as a competing database, commercialize access, remove notices, frame or mirror substantial portions, or use the Service or archive to train, benchmark, or supply a model or dataset at scale.

User content and license

You retain any rights you hold in content you submit. You grant the Operator a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, cache, format, adapt for technical display or accessibility, transmit, display, distribute within the Service, moderate, and make backup or audit copies of that content solely to operate, secure, promote the availability of, and improve the Service, enforce these Terms, and comply with law. This license continues for retained audit, backup, legal, or safety copies after deletion to the extent reasonably necessary. You represent that you have all rights and permissions needed to submit the content and grant this license; that the content and its use by the Service will not violate law, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, contract, intellectual-property, or other rights; and that disclosures about real people are lawful and appropriately limited. Do not upload secrets, credentials, or personal data you are not authorized to disclose.

Prohibited content

You may not submit or facilitate unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, defamatory, threatening, harassing, hateful, discriminatory, sexually exploitative, violent, privacy-invasive, doxxing, impersonating, rights-infringing, malicious, or deliberately dangerous content; content that exploits or endangers minors; unsolicited promotion or spam; instructions primarily intended to enable wrongdoing; or material prohibited by published community rules. Context, public interest, quotation, criticism, and applicable legal exceptions may be considered, but do not create an automatic right to publish through the Service.

Prohibited technical and abusive conduct

You may not bypass authentication, authorization, moderation, rate limits, robots directives, or other controls; probe or exploit vulnerabilities without prior written authorization; access another person’s account or non-public data; scrape or automate at a volume that burdens the Service or violates rights; introduce malware; interfere with availability or integrity; forge request metadata; manipulate votes, recommendations, reports, or identities; harass users through repeated contact; or use the Service to violate law, sanctions, court orders, or third-party terms. Reasonable use of documented public interfaces is permitted only within stated limits. The Operator may block traffic, rotate interfaces, preserve evidence, or cooperate with providers and authorities when responding to suspected abuse.

Moderation, editing, deletion, and appeals

Content and profile names may be automatically screened and manually reviewed. The Operator may place content in pending status; label, limit, hide, block, remove from public display, preserve, or restore it; limit distribution or recommendations; reject uploads; and warn, suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts. Measures may be temporary, permanent, automated, or manual and may consider content, context, technical records, earlier revisions, linked accounts, reports, risk, and prior conduct. Editing a post or comment creates a new revision and triggers a new review. Deleting content changes its public state but does not erase immutable revisions, IP and device records, moderation decisions, reports, or appeal history. Available appeals are a review mechanism, not arbitration, and do not guarantee reversal. Enforcement may be taken without advance notice when reasonably necessary for safety, legal compliance, evidence preservation, or service integrity.

Privacy

The Privacy Policy forms part of these Terms and explains how accounts, community content, cookies, original IP addresses, device information, content revisions and records after account deletion are handled. Email sign-in and registration forms require agreement confirmation; provider sign-in completes authentication through the selected service. Mandatory rights under applicable law remain in effect.

Third-party services and links

The Service may depend on or link to Cloudflare, Google, GitHub, X, Discord, email providers, game publishers, Our Notes release servers, news sources, or other third parties. The Operator does not control their availability, security, accuracy, content, terms, or privacy practices and is not responsible for them except to the extent liability cannot lawfully be excluded. Your use of a third-party service is governed by its terms. A link or integration does not constitute endorsement.

Copyright, trademark, and takedown requests

Respect copyrights, trademarks, privacy, publicity, and other rights. A rights holder or authorized representative may submit a sufficiently detailed request identifying the work or right, the challenged material and location, contact information, the basis of authority, and a good-faith statement. The Operator may request verification, forward a notice to the affected user where lawful, restrict material during review, and reject incomplete, fraudulent, or abusive notices. Misrepresentations may create liability under applicable law. Trademark references identify their owners or the subject of commentary and do not imply affiliation. The Operator may remove or alter archive references to address a substantiated rights concern without admitting infringement.

Service changes and availability

The Service is an evolving, community-oriented project. The Operator may add, change, limit, suspend, or discontinue features, data sources, servers, APIs, storage, or the entire Service; correct or remove data; impose quotas; or schedule maintenance, with or without notice where permitted. Archive data, translations, schedules, profiles, news, and community information may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, unavailable, or changed by a source. Do not rely on the Service for emergencies, legal compliance, financial decisions, preservation of the only copy of content, or any safety-critical purpose.

Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and request account deletion. The Operator may restrict or terminate access if it reasonably believes you violated these Terms, created legal or security risk, harmed users or infrastructure, evaded enforcement, or if operation is no longer practicable. Account deletion or termination does not automatically erase retained records and does not affect provisions that by their nature should survive, including licenses for retained copies, ownership, audit retention, disclaimers, liability limits, dispute terms, and indemnity.

Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service and all archive, community, news, schedule, profile, media, and third-party material are provided “as is” and “as available”, without express, implied, statutory, or other warranties, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, title, non-infringement, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, availability, security, or error-free operation. The Operator does not warrant that content is safe, appropriate, lawful, preserved, or free of harmful components. Nothing in these Terms excludes mandatory consumer guarantees or other rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so those exclusions apply only to the lawful extent.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator, maintainers, contributors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential loss; loss of data, goodwill, revenue, opportunity, or use; unauthorized third-party conduct; or damages arising from reliance on content, service interruption, account action, or third-party services, even if advised of the possibility. To the maximum extent permitted by law, aggregate liability arising from the Service will not exceed the amount you paid directly to the Operator for the Service during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. Because the Service is ordinarily free, that amount may be zero. This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including where applicable liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or death or personal injury caused by negligence.

Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Operator, maintainers, and contributors from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from your content, your violation of these Terms or law, your infringement of another person’s rights, or your misuse of the Service. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim was caused by the indemnified party’s own unlawful conduct and does not reduce non-waivable consumer rights.

Changes to these Terms

The Operator may revise these Terms for legal, security, provider, operational, or feature changes. The effective date will be updated. Material changes will receive reasonable notice, and renewed affirmative agreement will be requested when required by law. If you do not accept a material revision, stop using restricted features and close the account before it takes effect. Changes do not retroactively remove accrued rights or liabilities unless lawfully agreed.

Disputes, governing rules, and mandatory rights

Before filing a claim, you and the Operator should attempt in good faith to resolve it through written notice describing the issue and requested remedy, unless urgent relief or applicable law makes that impracticable. Governing law, jurisdiction, and venue will be determined by otherwise applicable law and conflict-of-law rules; these Terms do not impose a fictional operator location or deprive you of mandatory protections or courts available in your place of residence. No provision requires private arbitration or waives class or collective remedies unless a separate, legally valid agreement expressly states so.

General provisions and contact

These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the agreement concerning the Service, except for additional rules clearly presented for a specific feature. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions continue. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without consent; the Operator may transfer them with the project subject to applicable law. Headings are for convenience and do not limit meaning. Questions, rights notices, and complaints may be submitted through the contact link below.
