Terms of service

Who we are

Ascon is made by DarmaoneProduction, Indonesia ("we"). By installing or using Ascon you agree to these terms and to the privacy policy. If you don't agree, please don't use Ascon. You need to be at least 13 to use it.

What Ascon is, and isn't

Ascon is a web browser and reading tracker. It loads sites you choose, notices the series and chapter you read, and keeps your place.

Ascon does not host, copy, sell or share manga, manhwa or comics, and does not link to or recommend any site that does. Starter sites in the app are suggestions of official sources.

The sites you read

Sites you open in Ascon belong to other people. Their terms, and the law where you live, apply to what you do there. You are responsible for choosing sites you have the right to read.

Ascon blocks ads and trackers and can show a site's pages in its own reader. We don't control any site and aren't responsible for its content, its safety or whether it stays up.

Your account

An account is optional. You sign in with Google, and it adds sync, learning new sites and cloud translation. Keep your phone and Google account secure, since anyone using them can use your Ascon account. You can sign out every phone and delete your account at any time, in the app or at https://api.readascon.com/delete-account.

Ascon Pro

• Pro is a subscription, monthly or yearly, sold through Google Play at the price Play shows you.
• If you have never had Pro, you can try it free for 7 days. You are charged when the trial ends unless you cancel first.
• Pro renews by itself until you cancel in Google Play. Deleting the app or your account does not cancel it.
• When you cancel, Pro lasts to the end of the period you paid for. Refunds follow Google Play's refund policy.
• Pro's daily and monthly limits are set on our server. We may change them, and will say so in the app first.

Shared reading rules

Ascon reads sites with rules: small descriptions of where a page keeps its title, chapter and images. Rules are shared with every user. When you report a page read wrongly, or correct a title or chapter, you let us use that report to fix rules for everyone.

Rules never hold your account or anything personal. Don't send reports meant to break a rule that works.

Translation and AI features

Learning a new site and cloud translation use an AI model, named in the privacy policy. Its output can be wrong: a rule may misread a page, and a translation may miss meaning, names or tone. Translations are for your own reading on your phone. Sharing one is up to you and to the rights in the original work.

Both have daily or monthly limits per account, and we may pause them for everyone if the service is overloaded.

Fair use of the service

Ascon's server is small and shared. Please don't:

• register devices or accounts in bulk, or get around the daily limits;
• copy the server's rules in bulk, or use them to build another service;
• overload, probe or attack the server, or reach it other than through the app and this site;
• use Ascon to break the law, or to infringe someone's rights.

Ending or pausing service

You can stop using Ascon at any time. We may suspend a device or account that breaks the section above. We may change or end parts of the service, and will give notice in the app where we can. Your library on your phone keeps working without the server, and you can export it at any time.

Warranty, liability and law

Ascon is provided as it is. We work to keep it reliable, but don't promise it will always detect a site, keep a place, block every ad or stay available.

As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or lost-data losses, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for Pro in the last 12 months. Nothing here limits rights you have by law as a consumer.

These terms are governed by the laws of Indonesia. Disputes are heard in the East Jakarta District Court.

Changes and contact

If these terms change, the new version is posted here with a new date, and the app shows a notice for important changes before they apply.
