Terms of Service

The Service is an online Hebrew dictionary and learning tool provided free of charge. Certain features require registration. The application for iOS displays advertising; the website does not.

Dictionary data, translations and automatically generated content are provided for educational purposes only, without warranty of accuracy, and do not constitute professional translation or advice.

Registration is permitted to persons aged 13 or over. The user is responsible for all activity under the account and for the security of access to it. The user may delete the account at any time in the profile settings on the website or in the application, or by request to privacy@openhebrew.net.

A user may hold only one account. Creating or using additional accounts, including to circumvent usage limits or restrictions imposed on an account, is prohibited unless the Operator has given prior permission upon request to support@openhebrew.net. The Operator may merge, restrict or terminate additional accounts.

The user retains rights to content submitted to the Service and grants the Operator a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, display, moderate and use such content for the operation and improvement of the Service.

The user shall not submit content that is unlawful, insulting, discriminatory, threatening, constitutes spam or advertising, contains personal data of third parties or infringes rights of third parties. The Operator may refuse, hide or remove such content and restrict the account in case of violations.

The user may upload a profile image ("Avatar") only if the user holds the rights necessary for its use on the Service. An Avatar must not contain:

• nudity, sexual or sexually suggestive content;
• any depiction of minors in a sexual, sexualised or exploitative context;
• violence, cruelty, injuries, blood or self-harm;
• symbols or content that are hateful, extremist, discriminatory or that glorify crime;
• drugs, weapons or other illegal goods and activities;
• images of other persons without their consent, or personal data of third parties;
• advertising, contact details or links;
• content infringing intellectual property or other rights of third parties.

Avatars are checked by automated means before publication. An image that fails the check is rejected and is not stored.

The user shall not: copy, download or extract the dictionary or substantial parts of it, in bulk or by automated means (including scrapers, crawlers and bots), or reuse them in another product or service; circumvent usage limits or technical protection; interfere with the operation of the Service or attempt unauthorised access; circumvent the moderation of user content; create accounts by automated means; use the Service in violation of law.

The Service, its software, design and compiled dictionary are the property of the Operator, except for third-party materials used under their respective licences, listed on the Sources and licences page. Embedded videos remain the property of their owners and are subject to the terms of the respective platform. The user is granted a personal, non-transferable right to use the Service for its intended purpose.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". The Operator may modify, suspend or discontinue any feature at any time.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator is not liable for any damages arising from the use of or inability to use the Service, including indirect or consequential damages, loss of profit or loss of data. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law or the statutory rights of consumers.

In case of any breach of these Terms, the Operator may, at its discretion, restrict the account, including by disabling individual features (such as comments or changing the display name or Avatar), remove content submitted by the user, and suspend (block) or terminate the account. Such measures may be applied without prior notice.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protection provisions of the user's country of residence.

The Operator may amend these Terms. Material amendments are announced on the Service in advance. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance. Effective date: 5 November 2026.
