Terms of use

Effective: January 1, 2026

Purpose and scope

Junglevaultbambo operates junglevaultbambo.sbs as an independent source of general information about Japanese manga culture. These terms describe use of the site and its browser-based message tool. If you do not wish to use the site on these terms, discontinue use. Nothing here removes rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Information, not professional advice

Content is educational and introductory. It is not legal advice, a rights-clearance service, a guarantee of age suitability or an authoritative statement on every work, publisher or community. Examples explain broader distinctions and are not exhaustive.

Publishing catalogs, edition details, licensing territories and event policies change. Verify decisions involving purchases, attendance, access or permissions using current official information. We aim for accuracy but do not guarantee completeness, uninterrupted availability or freedom from errors.

Independence and third-party names

The site is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any publisher, creator, platform, library, museum or event mentioned. Third-party names and marks belong to their respective holders and are used for identification. An external link is not a representation that the destination endorses this site.

Copyright and permitted use

Original site text, teaching diagrams and design are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. You may read the site and link to its pages. Quotation and other uses may be permitted by applicable law; attribute quoted material accurately and do not imply endorsement.

For broader republication or reuse beyond what the law permits, request permission at [email protected]. Rights in photographs and third-party materials remain with their relevant owners. No permission to reproduce a manga page or redistribute a work is granted by this site.

Responsible use

Do not use the site to disrupt services, introduce malicious code, impersonate others, send unlawful or harassing correspondence, or infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights. Do not submit unauthorized scans or sensitive information through email inquiries.

The site does not host scan archives, provide piracy links or act as a storefront. We cannot manage orders, subscriptions, platform accounts or publisher support requests.

The local message tool

The contact tool prepares a plain-text draft on your device. Copying and downloading do not send it. You are responsible for reviewing the draft, choosing a recipient in your email app and deciding whether to send it. Clipboard access and downloads depend on browser permissions and settings.

We do not promise a response or a particular response time. Sending a correction does not guarantee publication, and an inquiry does not establish a professional advisory relationship.

External sites and limitations

External websites have their own terms, availability and privacy policies. We do not control their content or services. To the extent permitted by law, the site is provided as available without warranties, and we are not responsible for loss caused by reliance on incomplete information, third-party services or interruptions.

These limitations do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable mandatory consumer protections. Applicable law determines the enforceability of any provision.

Updates and contact

These terms may be updated as the site changes. The effective date identifies the version presented here. Questions about the site, rights or these terms can be sent to [email protected]. See also the Privacy policy and Cookies policy.
