Effective date: [6/9/2026]
By using Anime Vault (animewebsite.net), you agree to the terms below. Read them once. They are written in plain English so you actually can.
1. Acceptance
By accessing or using this site, you accept these terms. If you do not agree, please leave the site. Continued use means continued acceptance.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use Anime Vault. Some features (commenting, newsletter signup, guest post submission) may require additional verification. If you are between 13 and 18, use the site with parental or guardian awareness.
3. What you can do with our content
Anime Vault content is published for personal, non-commercial reading. You can:
- Read, share via social media, and link to any of our articles
- Quote short passages with attribution and a link back
- Reference our reviews and analysis in your own writing with proper credit
You cannot:
- Republish full articles on your own site without written permission
- Scrape the site to feed AI training datasets or content farms
- Modify our content and present it as your own
- Use our content commercially without a written license from us
4. User contributions
If you leave a comment, send a contact form message, or submit a guest post pitch, you confirm:
- You wrote the content yourself
- You are not infringing anyone’s copyright
- You are not posting illegal, defamatory, harassing, or hateful material
- You grant us a non-exclusive right to display, edit and moderate your contribution
We reserve the right to edit or delete any contribution that breaks these terms, with or without notice. We do not pre-screen comments but we do moderate them.
5. Guest writers
If we publish your guest post, our separate guest writing terms apply (see the Write for Us page). Short version: you keep credit forever, we keep publishing rights, you cannot republish the same article elsewhere without our written approval.
6. Intellectual property
The Anime Vault name, logo, theme design, custom illustrations, and editorial content are owned by us. Anime characters, key visuals, official artwork and similar third-party material remain owned by their respective rights holders. We use such material under fair-use principles for editorial commentary, criticism, and reporting.
If you believe any content infringes your copyright, see our DMCA page for the formal takedown process.
7. External links
Anime Vault links to external sites (Anime News Network, MyAnimeList, official studio sites, social platforms, and others) for the convenience of readers. We do not control those sites, do not endorse them, and are not responsible for their content, terms, or privacy practices.
8. Disclaimers
Anime Vault is provided as is. We try to keep information accurate and current, but we make no warranty about completeness, accuracy, reliability, or availability. Reviews and recommendations reflect our editorial opinion, not professional advice.
9. Limitation of liability
To the extent allowed by law, Anime Vault and its team are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site. If we made you angry by ranking your favorite character third instead of first, that does not count as damages.
10. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the site, comments, or newsletter if you violate these terms or applicable law. You can stop using the site at any time.
11. Changes to terms
We may update these terms when the site or its services evolve. Significant changes get a notice on this page and a fresh effective date at the top. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where Anime Vault is operated. Any disputes will be handled in the appropriate courts of that jurisdiction.
