Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of ManhwaDaily (the "Service"), accessible at manhwadaily.com, including our website, editorial content, recommendation quiz, free browser games (Gate Crawler, Gate Crawler World), accounts, and the paid AI Portrait feature.

Use of the Website

You may use ManhwaDaily for lawful, personal purposes only. You agree not to misuse the website or the game, interfere with its normal operation, attempt unauthorized access, scrape the site in a harmful way, or use the site to violate any applicable law, platform rule, or third-party right.

Editorial Content

ManhwaDaily publishes manhwa and light novel recommendations, rankings, and opinionated editorial content. We link out to where a series can be read — we do not host, copy, or republish manhwa or novel chapter content ourselves. We recommend reading on official, licensed platforms.

Accounts

Creating an account is optional. If you sign in, you're responsible for keeping your account credentials secure. Account sign-in is provided by our authentication provider, Clerk — creating an account also means you accept Clerk's own terms for the sign-in service itself.

Gate Crawler World — Leaderboard

If you sign in and play Gate Crawler World, your best score, class, and level may be displayed publicly on the in-game leaderboard alongside your account's display name. Do not use an offensive or impersonating display name. We may remove leaderboard entries at our discretion.

AI Portrait — Purchases

The AI Portrait feature lets you generate a stylized portrait from a photo you upload, for a one-time fee shown at checkout, paid via PayPal. You confirm you have the right to use the photo you upload. Because this is a digital good generated specifically for you, all sales are final once the paid file has been delivered, except where required otherwise by law.

Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on this website — including links to Amazon and to manhwa/novel reading platforms such as Webtoon, Tapas, and MangaDex — are affiliate links. If you click a qualifying link and make a purchase, ManhwaDaily may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. These relationships do not guarantee placement, endorsement, or ranking.

No Warranty

The website, the game, and all content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee that the site will always be uninterrupted, accurate, secure, complete, or free from errors.

Third-Party Services and Platforms

ManhwaDaily may link to or integrate with third-party services such as PayPal, Clerk, Giscus/GitHub, analytics providers, hosting services, affiliate platforms, and advertising networks. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

Comments

Article comments are powered by Giscus and posted as GitHub Discussions on our public site repository. Keep comments on-topic and respectful; we may hide or remove comments that are abusive, spam, or unlawful.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the branding, layout, written content, original graphics, and editorial assets on ManhwaDaily are owned by ManhwaDaily or used with permission. Cover art for reviewed titles is used for identification and review purposes. You may not reproduce, republish, distribute, or commercially exploit substantial portions of the site without prior written permission.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ManhwaDaily and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of the website, the game, or the AI Portrait feature.

Changes to the Service

We may modify, suspend, update, or discontinue any part of the website, the game, or related features at any time without prior notice.

Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms of Service from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this page with the updated effective date. Continued use of the site after changes become effective means you accept the revised terms.

Contact

For questions regarding these terms, contact ManhwaDaily through the official website and public brand channels.
