Children under the age of 14 may not register for an account. Where the law of the user's country of residence sets a higher minimum age for the use of information society services, registration is permitted only from that age.

Article 12-2 [External AI Tool (MCP) Integration]
The Company provides an MCP Integration feature that allows a user to connect an External AI Tool to the Company's MCP server in order to read or change the user's own routine data. This feature is available only to users who have completed registration and signed in, and operates only where the user has carried out the connection procedure themselves and has consented to the provision of their personal data. The processing of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy.
The scope of the operations available through the MCP Integration is determined by the Company and may change as required for the operation of the service. Call counts, the number of routines that may be created, and the features available may differ by plan. However, any change that expands the items provided or the scope of permissions described in Article 4-2 of our Privacy Policy will apply to a user only after that user has given a new, separate consent.
Creating, duplicating, modifying, or deleting a routine through the MCP Integration takes effect only where the Company's server first returns the proposed change together with a confirmation code to the connected AI tool, and that tool submits the confirmation code back. The step of displaying the proposed change to the user and obtaining confirmation is performed by the connected AI tool, so users must review the change presented by that tool before confirming it.
In addition, routine schedules and notification settings changed through the MCP Integration reach the mobile device only after the user launches the Application; for as long as the Application is not launched, the previous settings remain in effect. The Company's server returns a notice of the pending state together with a link to launch the Application, but this notice is provided in English, and whether the connected AI tool displays it to the user depends on the behaviour of that tool. The pending state persists without any time limit for as long as the user does not launch the Application, so where you have changed a schedule or notification setting, please launch the Application to confirm that the change has taken effect.
The MCP Integration is provided as a supplementary feature of the Application and no separate service level is guaranteed. The Company may modify or discontinue the MCP Integration without prior notice where this is necessary for security, for compliance with law, for technical reasons, or because of changes on the part of an External AI Tool, and will give notice without delay after doing so.
Users are responsible for complying with the terms of service and policies of the External AI Tool they have connected, and any issue arising in connection with the use of that tool is to be resolved between the user and the provider of that tool.
This Article and the provisions of these Terms concerning the MCP Integration (Article 2 items 11 and 12, the sixth bullet of Article 9, the second part of Article 14, and Article 21 paragraphs 2 through 4) apply to a user from the point at which that user reviews and agrees to them while carrying out the MCP Integration procedure. They do not apply to users who do not use the MCP Integration.
Article 13 [Service Changes or Suspension]
We may modify or suspend services for operational or technical reasons, with notice where appropriate.
Article 14 [Restrictions]
We may restrict access if users violate these Terms.
We may restrict use of the MCP Integration, or revoke the access rights issued, in any of the following cases:
- Where the user has breached Article 9
- Where the user exceeds the call limits set by the Company, or an abnormal access pattern is identified that is liable to affect the stability of the service or other users' use of it
- Where the user's account is deleted or deactivated, or where we otherwise consider this necessary for security reasons
Article 15 [Information Collection]
- We collect and use personal information and usage data strictly in accordance with our Privacy Policy, including purposes, legal bases, and user consent requirements.
- We may collect non-personal data for service improvement.
- Users may decline optional data collection.
Article 16 [Paid Services]
Paid services are subject to applicable payment and subscription terms. Certain paid services may be offered as subscription-based services that automatically renew unless cancelled. Payments for certain web-based subscriptions may be processed by a third-party payment provider acting as the Merchant of Record ("MoR"). In such cases:
- The payment provider (e.g., Paddle) is the legal seller of the subscription
- The Company provides access to and operation of the service
By purchasing a subscription through a web-based payment page, you agree that:
- Your payment will be processed by the MoR
- Applicable taxes (including VAT) may be calculated and handled by the MoR
- Transactions may be conducted in a designated currency (e.g., USD)
Article 17 [Changes to Paid Services]
Changes to subscriptions may take effect immediately and may not carry over remaining benefits. Subscription plans, pricing, and billing conditions may vary depending on region, payment method, or platform.
Article 18 [Cancellation and Refunds]
Refunds and cancellations follow applicable laws and platform policies. Subscription services are billed on a recurring basis and will automatically renew using the payment method provided at the time of purchase unless cancelled prior to the next billing cycle. You may cancel your subscription at any time. Upon cancellation:
- No further charges will be made from the next billing cycle
- You will retain access to the paid service until the end of the current billing period
For subscriptions processed via a third-party Merchant of Record (e.g., Paddle):
- Refund requests may be initiated by the Company on your behalf
- However, final approval of refunds is subject to the policies and discretion of the payment provider
Refund eligibility and conditions (including applicable timeframes such as 7-day or 30-day policies) may vary depending on applicable laws, platform rules, and payment provider policies. Partial refunds may not be available unless required by applicable law.
Article 19 [Intellectual Property]
- We retain rights to our content.
- Users retain rights to their content but grant limited usage rights within the service.
Article 20 [Advertisements]
- The service may include advertisements.
- We are not responsible for third-party ads.
- We may use advertising and tracking technologies (such as Meta Pixel) as described in our Privacy Policy, subject to applicable consent requirements.
Article 21 [Limitation of Liability]
We are not liable for service interruptions or user-caused damages except where required by law.
Where damage is caused to a user by the wilful misconduct or negligence of an External AI Tool that the user connected themselves, responsibility for that damage lies with the provider of that External AI Tool and is to be resolved between the user and that provider. This does not apply where there is wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Company.
We are not responsible where the user deletes content or account information provided by the Company, or where an External AI Tool connected by the user deletes the user's routines or other content after completing the confirmation procedure. This does not apply where the deletion is caused by the wilful misconduct or negligence of the Company. External AI Tools cannot read or delete account information, email addresses, or payment information.
A routine deleted through the MCP Integration may be restored on request to customer support within 10 days of deletion. Deleted data for which more than 10 days have passed is permanently erased at the point when the user launches the Application and synchronisation takes place, and recovery is not possible after permanent erasure.
We are not responsible for the accuracy or suitability of responses, suggestions, or judgements generated by an External AI Tool connected by the user. A response from an External AI Tool is not advice or a recommendation from the Company, and where a decision concerning health or medical matters is required, the user should obtain a diagnosis from a qualified professional. This does not apply where there is wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Company.
Article 22 [Dispute Resolution]
We provide channels for complaints and will respond appropriately.
Article 23 [Governing Law]
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea.
Article 24 [Relationship with Privacy Policy]
These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy. In case of conflict, the Privacy Policy shall prevail with respect to personal data matters.
Article 25 [Marketing Content Use]
We may use non-identifiable content for marketing purposes. Identifiable content requires consent.
