Terms of Use

Last updated: October 18, 2026

Please read these Terms carefully. They explain the rules for using Sorai and what you can expect from the service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Sorai, or by creating an account, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

2. About Sorai

Sorai is a free, personal, non-commercial web app that lets you explore anime and keep a personal list where you can track your watching status and rate the titles you have seen.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, you may only use Sorai with the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

4. Your Account

When you create an account, you agree to:

  • Provide a valid email address that you have access to.
  • Keep your password secure and not share it with others.
  • Take responsibility for all activity that happens under your account.

You can deactivate your account at any time from the Settings page. Deactivated accounts can no longer sign in.

5. Your Content

You may choose a username and upload a profile photo. You keep ownership of the content you upload, and you allow Sorai to store and display it as needed to operate the service.

Your username and profile photo must not be offensive, illegal, sexually explicit, impersonate another person, or infringe anyone else's rights. We may remove content that breaks these rules.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Attempt to hack, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to Sorai or its systems.
  • Send automated or excessive requests that overload the service.
  • Create accounts in bulk or use fake identities.
  • Use Sorai for any unlawful purpose.

7. Anime Data and Third-Party Content

Anime information shown on Sorai, including titles, synopses, images, scores, and rankings, is provided by the Tenrai API, which sources its data from MyAnimeList.

Sorai is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Tenrai, MyAnimeList, or any anime studio, publisher, or rights holder. All titles, artwork, and trademarks belong to their respective owners.

This information may be inaccurate, outdated, or temporarily unavailable. Some titles may include mature content. Sorai hides sensitive content by default, and you can change this in Settings, but we cannot guarantee that every piece of content is filtered correctly.

9. Service Availability and Changes

Sorai is a personal project and may change, be paused, or be discontinued at any time without prior notice. We recommend using the export feature in Settings if you want to keep a copy of your list.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

Sorai is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that your data will always be preserved.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sorai and its creator are not liable for any damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the service, including loss of data.

12. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or deactivate accounts that violate these Terms or that put the security or availability of Sorai at risk.

13. Privacy

Your use of Sorai is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what data we collect and how we use it.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continuing to use Sorai after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
