Terms of Use

The Agreement

These Terms of Use set out the rules for using RandomTranslator (the "Site") and the services it offers (the "Services"). They are an agreement between you ("you" or "user") and RandomTranslator ("we", "us" or "our").

By using the Site, you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. We may update these Terms of Use from time to time, and the date at the bottom of this page shows when they last changed. Continuing to use the Site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Eligibility and Accounts

You can read parts of the Site without an account. To use features such as your library, reading progress, reviews, comments and glossary suggestions, you sign in with Patreon.

You must be at least 13 years old, and old enough to consent to the processing of your personal data in your country, to create an account or use the Site. You are responsible for activity on your account.

Paid memberships are handled entirely by Patreon, and Patreon's own terms apply to them, including its rule that you must be at least 18 or have a parent's or guardian's permission to buy a membership. We do not process payments. We only read your membership status from Patreon to decide which features and limits apply to your account, and those benefits may change over time.

The Service

Novels on the Site are sourced from third-party websites, including at the request of users, and are translated by machine translation and AI systems. Glossary entries and wiki pages are generated automatically and refined through community suggestions. Translations can contain errors and are not reviewed line by line.

Some reading options translate chapters with Google Translate. When you use them, our servers send the chapter text to Google, and Google's terms and privacy policy apply to that request.

We may add, change, limit or remove features at any time.

Content Policy

RandomTranslator does not host NSFW content. This includes sexually explicit material and any other content intended only for adult audiences.

Novels are added at the request of users and sourced automatically from third-party websites, and we do not review every chapter before it becomes available. We are not obliged to monitor content, but we may remove any content at our discretion. If NSFW content is added without our knowledge, it will be removed once it is reported to us.

Sexual content involving minors is never allowed. It will be removed immediately, and we may report it to the relevant authorities.

Fiction on the Site may depict violence, dark themes, or characters who hold offensive views. These depictions belong to the original works and do not reflect our views. Reader discretion is advised.

Your Posts and Public Activity

You are responsible for what you post on the Site, including comments, reviews, ratings, replies, glossary and wiki suggestions, and novel requests. You must not post content that:

• harasses, threatens or bullies anyone, or promotes hatred against people based on who they are;
• shares anyone's personal information without their consent;
• is spam, advertising, or deliberately misleading;
• impersonates another person;
• infringes someone else's copyright or other rights; or
• is otherwise illegal, or breaks the Content Policy above.

By posting, you give us permission to store, display and distribute your post on the Site, including after you stop using the Site, so that discussions stay readable. If you ask us to delete your account, your comments, reviews, ratings and replies are deleted with it, while novels you added and records of glossary edits remain, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Your reviews, ratings, comments, replies, accepted glossary contributions and the novels you added are public. They appear under your public username on novel and chapter pages, in the community activity feed and rankings, and on your public profile page, along with your level and reading statistics, including your daily reading activity. Your reading progress and reading history are shown on your profile unless you turn off Reading activity, and the reports you submit are shown unless you turn off Community activity. Your library, votes, notes you add to reports and moderation feedback are not shown publicly.

Reporting and Enforcement

You can report novels, reviews, replies, comments and glossary or wiki entries using the report options on the Site, or contact us at randomtranslator2@gmail.com or via our Contact Us page. Please include a link to the content and a short description of the issue.

If content or an account breaks these Terms of Use, we may remove the content, restrict features, or suspend or terminate the account. We may do this without prior warning.

Copyright complaints are handled separately. Please see our DMCA Notice page.

Use Restrictions

You may not use the Site for any unlawful purpose, interfere with or disrupt the Site or its security, try to access accounts or data that are not yours, or try to get around features, limits or bans.

You must not use automated systems that send excessive requests to the Site or scrape it in bulk. Public search engines may index the Site, but not cache or archive it.

Links to Third-Party Websites

The Site links to third-party websites and services, such as Patreon, Discord and the original sources of novels, that we do not control. We are not responsible for their content or practices. Please review their own terms and privacy policies.

Electronic Communications

When you contact us by email, Discord or through the Site, you consent to receive our replies and notices electronically, and you agree that they satisfy any requirement for written communication.

Disclaimer

The Site and all content on it, including machine translations, glossary entries and wiki pages, are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that translations are accurate or complete, that the Site will be available without interruption, or that it is free of errors or harmful components.

Indemnification

You agree to hold RandomTranslator harmless from any claims, damages, losses and costs arising from your use of the Site, the content you post, or your breach of these Terms of Use.

Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

General Provisions

We may modify, suspend or discontinue the Site at any time. If any part of these Terms of Use is found invalid, the rest remains in effect.
