Terms of service
OVERVIEW
This website is operated by Kanjimix. Throughout the site, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Kanjimix. Kanjimix offers this website, including all information, tools, products, and services available from this site, to you, the user, conditioned upon your acceptance of all terms, conditions, policies, and notices stated here.
By visiting our site, purchasing something from us, or otherwise using our services, you engage in our “Service” and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”), including any additional terms and policies referenced herein or made available by hyperlink.
These Terms apply to all users of the site, including browsers, customers, purchasers, and contributors of content.
Please read these Terms carefully before accessing or using our website. By accessing or using any part of the site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access the website or use the Service.
Any new features, tools, products, or services added to the current store will also be subject to these Terms. We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms by posting changes to this page. Your continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of those changes to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Our store is hosted by Shopify, which provides the e-commerce platform that allows us to offer our products and services to you.
SECTION 1 - ELIGIBILITY AND ONLINE STORE TERMS
By using this site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your place of residence, or that you have obtained any consent required by applicable law to use this site and purchase our products or services.
You may not use our products or services for any unlawful or unauthorized purpose, nor may you violate any applicable laws in connection with your use of the Service.
You must not transmit viruses, malicious code, or other harmful material.
A breach of these Terms may result in termination or restriction of your access to the Service.
SECTION 2 - GENERAL CONDITIONS
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any lawful reason at any time.
You understand that content you submit, excluding payment information, may be transferred over various networks and may be adapted to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices. Payment information is encrypted during transmission over networks using appropriate security measures provided by our payment and commerce service providers.
You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, exploit, or commercially use any portion of the Service, access to the Service, or content made available through the Service without our prior written permission, except where permitted by applicable law.
SECTION 3 - KANJI IDENTITY DESIGN SERVICES
Kanjimix creates personalized Kanji identities by considering factors such as the sound of a name, meaning, historical usage and readings, visual balance, and the harmony of the name as a whole.
A Kanji identity is a creative and interpretive design. It is not a literal translation, official legal name conversion, government-issued transliteration, academic certification, or guarantee of a single objectively correct representation of a name in Kanji.
Because Kanji characters may have multiple readings, meanings, historical uses, cultural associations, and interpretations, different valid design approaches may be possible for the same name.
By purchasing or using a personalized Kanji identity service, you acknowledge that the resulting design reflects Kanjimix’s creative process, selection criteria, cultural knowledge, and design judgment.
Personal preference regarding a particular Kanji character, meaning, reading, visual style, or interpretation does not by itself constitute an error or defect.
SECTION 4 - CUSTOMER-PROVIDED INFORMATION
You are responsible for providing accurate information necessary for us to create or fulfill your order, including your name, preferred pronunciation, spelling, and any other requested details.
Where pronunciation is relevant, you are responsible for providing sufficiently clear and accurate pronunciation information.
Kanjimix is not responsible for errors resulting from incorrect, incomplete, ambiguous, or misleading information provided by the customer.
If you discover an error in information you submitted, please contact us as soon as possible. We may not be able to make changes after design work, production, printing, embroidery, or fulfillment has begun.
SECTION 5 - CUSTOM AND PERSONALIZED PRODUCTS
Many Kanjimix products and services are custom-made, personalized, made to order, or created specifically for an individual customer.
These may include, but are not limited to:
- Custom Kanji identities
- Kanji Identity Sheets
- Personalized name artwork
- Digital designs
- Clothing featuring a customer-specific Kanji identity or name
- Printed or embroidered personalized products
- Special-order or made-to-order items
Because of their personalized nature, such products may not be eligible for cancellation, return, exchange, or refund due to a change of mind, personal preference, incorrect customer selection, or other customer-related reasons once work or production has begun.
Please refer to our Refund Policy for further details.
SECTION 6 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Unless otherwise stated, the website, Kanjimix brand materials, logos, text, graphics, layouts, photographs, illustrations, design systems, product presentations, and other original content made available through the Service are owned by or licensed to Kanjimix and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, publish, sell, commercially exploit, or create unauthorized derivative works from such content without prior written permission, except where permitted by applicable law.
SECTION 7 - PERSONALIZED KANJI DESIGNS AND USAGE
Subject to full payment and any specific terms stated at the time of purchase, customers may use the final personalized Kanji identity delivered to them for personal purposes.
Any commercial use, resale, sublicensing, trademark registration, mass production, redistribution, or use of a personalized Kanji design as part of a commercial brand or business identity may require separate written permission or a separate license from Kanjimix.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, purchasing a personalized product or service does not transfer ownership of Kanjimix’s underlying design methods, templates, systems, source files, working files, selection processes, or other proprietary materials.
SECTION 8 - ACCURACY OF INFORMATION
We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate and current information on this site. However, information made available through the site may occasionally contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions.
We reserve the right to correct errors, update information, or modify content at any time, subject to applicable law.

SECTION 9 - PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND AVAILABILITY
Certain products or services may be available exclusively online and may have limited quantities.
We reserve the right to limit the availability of products or services, discontinue products or services, or modify product specifications where reasonably necessary.
We make reasonable efforts to display product images, colors, materials, prints, embroidery, and other visual details accurately. However, actual appearance may vary due to screen settings, production methods, materials, printing processes, embroidery processes, or other technical factors.
For personalized products, mockups, previews, examples, or illustrations may be representative and may not perfectly reproduce the final physical product.
SECTION 10 - PRICES AND PAYMENT
Prices for products and services are subject to change without notice, except where prohibited by applicable law or after a binding purchase has been completed.
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made through our store.
Taxes, duties, customs charges, currency conversion fees, and other charges may apply depending on your location and the destination of the order. Where such charges are not collected at checkout, they may be the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise required by applicable law.
SECTION 11 - ORDER ACCEPTANCE AND CANCELLATION
We reserve the right to refuse, limit, or cancel an order where reasonably necessary, including in cases of suspected fraud, pricing errors, product unavailability, technical errors, misuse of the Service, or inability to fulfill the requested customization.
If we cancel an order after payment has been received, we will provide an appropriate refund for the cancelled portion of the order.

We may use customer-provided information and materials as reasonably necessary to process orders, create personalized designs, provide customer support, and operate the Service, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
We will not claim ownership of your personal name merely because you provide it to us.
