Service scope
ODict provides dictionary lookups, account sign-in, and online access for companion clients. Web dictionary lookups can be used without an account; client API access requires account authorization. Local dictionaries and independently configured AI services have their own usage arrangements. An account does not guarantee unlimited requests, permanent availability, or a fixed quota.
Accounts and credentials
Register using an email address or third-party account you are entitled to use, and protect your credentials. Do not publish access tokens, refresh credentials, or administrative keys. If you suspect unauthorized access or credential exposure, reset your password and contact the developer. Third-party sign-in is also subject to that provider's account rules.
Acceptable use
Do not bypass authentication or rate limits, impersonate others, falsify statistics, submit malicious content, or probe or disrupt the service or other users' data. Automated access must follow API documentation and quotas. Abnormal requests may be rate-limited, rejected, or subject to account access restrictions to protect the service.
Dictionary and AI content
Definitions, translations, examples, and AI-generated content may contain errors or omissions and are provided for learning and general reference. Check reliable sources before relying on content for important decisions. You can report errors through Help & Contact. AI-generated content is not a guarantee of accuracy by the developer.
Open source and content rights
Source code, third-party components, imported dictionaries, and online dictionary data are subject to their respective licenses. Public access does not mean all content may be copied or redistributed. See the ODict macOS repository for its software license; do not assume that license also covers every webpage or dictionary dataset. Rights holders can contact the developer about content concerns.
Availability and responsibility
The service may be interrupted, changed, or discontinued because of maintenance, network conditions, resource limits, or third-party service changes. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided as is, without a promise of continuous availability or complete accuracy. This statement does not exclude rights or responsibilities that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Privacy and contact
See the Privacy Policy for data practices and Account & Data Deletion for deletion requests. This page will be updated when service rules materially change. Contact [email protected] with questions about the service, content, or accounts.
