Terms of Service
Last updated: 2026-05-03
Acceptance
By creating an account or using Practicehanzi (the “Service”), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. The Service is operated by Bram Agency (France).
Service Description
Practicehanzi is a Chinese character (Hanzi) learning platform: HSK dictionary, textbook-based vocabulary, stroke writing practice, OCR scanning, FSRS spaced repetition, and review modes (flashcard / quiz / writing / speaking / mix).
Accounts
You must provide a working email and a password ≥ 8 characters. You are responsible for keeping your credentials safe. One account per person. Sharing an account violates these terms.
Free vs Premium
Most of the Service is free. Premium unlocks the full Writing Studio, every textbook chapter, all review modes, unlimited lists / items / daily adds, and the mobile app + OCR when they ship. Current pricing: $9.99 / month, $79.99 / year, or $199 Lifetime (capped at the first 500 customers).
7-day Premium Trial
When you start a Monthly or Annual subscription, you get a 7-day free trial. A valid card is required at trial start. Your card is charged on day 8 unless you cancel before then. Cancel any time during the trial via Settings → Plan & billing → Manage subscription.
Auto-renewal
Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual) at the then-current price. We email a reminder before annual renewals. You can stop renewal at any time via the Stripe Billing Portal.
Cancellation
Cancel any time. After cancellation you keep Premium access through the end of the period you already paid for. We do not pro-rate the unused portion of monthly or annual subscriptions. Lifetime access is non-cancellable (it's already paid in full).
Refunds
We offer a 7-day refund window from the date of charge for Monthly, Annual, and Lifetime purchases. Email support@practicehanzi.com from the address on file with your Stripe customer ID. EU/UK consumers retain statutory withdrawal rights where applicable.
Lifetime cap
Lifetime is limited to the first 500 customers. Once the cap is reached, the Lifetime option disappears and we no longer accept Lifetime payments. Already-purchased Lifetime accounts stay active for the lifetime of the Service.
Acceptable use
Don't scrape, abuse, or attack the Service. Don't share gift codes publicly to circumvent the limits. Don't use the Service to harass or harm others. We reserve the right to ban accounts that violate this section.
Intellectual property
Character data and stroke order information are sourced from open datasets (CC-CEDICT, hanzi-writer-data). The Practicehanzi application, design, branding, and original content are owned by Bram Agency. Your study data (lists, reviews, writing sessions) belongs to you.
Disclaimers & liability
The Service is provided “as is” without warranties. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages. Total liability is capped at the amount you paid in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability for gross negligence or wilful misconduct under applicable law.
Changes
Material changes will be announced via email at least 7 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of France. Disputes go to the competent courts in France, without prejudice to consumer protection rights in your country of residence.
