-
The Company may change fees and add-on options upon prior notice. For existing Members, the amendment procedure set out in Article 3 applies.
Article 7 (Recurring Payment and Renewal)
-
Paid Services are provided on a prepaid recurring payment basis. A Member is deemed to have consented to automatic monthly (or annual) renewal at the time the first payment is completed.
-
Payments are processed according to the Member's country of residence, as follows.
- Republic of Korea: Processed through the payment service provider designated by the Company (Toss Payments) and automatically charged on the billing date using the Billing Key registered by the Member.
- All other countries: Paddle acts as the Merchant of Record and is the seller of record in the transaction with the Member, handling payment, taxation and refunds. In this case, Paddle's terms and refund policy also apply to the payment, and Paddle performs the billing and renewal schedule and any payment retries (dunning).
-
The billing currency is Korean Won (KRW) for Members in the Republic of Korea and United States Dollars (USD) for Members in all other countries. Value-added tax and applicable transaction taxes in each country (VAT, GST and the like) are charged separately in accordance with applicable law.
-
The next billing date shall be the same day of the month as the immediately preceding billing date; where the relevant month does not contain that day, it shall be the last day of that month (e.g. billing on January 31 → February 28/29).
-
Determination of the expiry date on renewal (subscription-renewal-policy) is handled according to the following five cases:
Current status Member's payment action Expiry date after renewal ( expires_at)Active (before expiry) Repayment for the same plan MAX(current expiry, payment time) + 1 month(remaining period preserved)Active (already expired) Repayment for the same plan payment time + 1 monthTrial Payment for a paid plan payment time + 1 month(remaining Trial period is forfeited)Canceled (before expiry) Repayment for the same plan MAX(current expiry, payment time) + 1 month(resubscription; status returns to active)Payment attempted for a different plan (while Active) Payment is blocked. Plan changes follow a separate procedure -
The Company may notify Members of an upcoming renewal by email or in-Service notification 7 days before the billing date.
Article 8 (Payment Failure and Delinquency)
- Where the Company attempts to charge a Member's payment method on the recurring billing date but the payment fails due to insufficient funds, exceeded limits, card expiry or similar reasons, the Company shall notify the Member of that fact.
- The Company shall carry out payment retries or guide the Member through changing the payment method for up to 7 days from the date of payment failure (the "Grace Period"), and may temporarily maintain the Member's access to Paid Services during the Grace Period.
- If payment is not completed by the end of the Grace Period, the Company may restrict the use of some or all Paid Services upon prior notice.
- The Company is not liable for data loss resulting from payment failure (for example, data accessible only through paid features). Members are responsible for regularly backing up important data while using Paid Services.
Article 9 (Termination and Refunds)
-
A Member may cancel a subscription at any time through the cancellation menu within the Service or through customer support.
-
Upon a cancellation request, automatic payment stops on the next scheduled billing date, and the Member may continue to use Paid Services until the currently paid period expires.
-
Given the nature of prepaid recurring billing, pro-rata refunds for mid-term cancellation are, as a general rule, not provided. However, refund procedures shall be carried out in accordance with the Act on the Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce and other applicable laws in each of the following cases:
- The Member requests withdrawal of subscription within 7 days of payment and has not substantially used the Paid Services during that billing period
- The Member was unable to use the Service normally due to reasons attributable to the Company (in this case the Company shall refund on a pro-rata basis for the period of unavailability or, at the Member's election, provide an equivalent period of free extension instead)
- Any other case in which a refund obligation is recognised by applicable law
For overseas payments (Paddle), refunds are handled in accordance with Paddle's refund policy, and Members may request a refund directly through Paddle customer support as well as through the Company's customer support.
-
Refund method and processing period: Refunds are, as a general rule, processed to the same payment method used for the payment, and the refund procedure is initiated within 3 business days from the date the ground for refund is confirmed. Additional business days may be required before the refunded amount is actually reflected on the Member's payment method, depending on the payment service provider or card issuer.
-
Refund of remaining Points: Unused Points remaining after a top-up shall be refunded in full upon the Member's request. However, credits granted free of charge by the Company through events or promotions, and Points already used, are excluded from refund. The refund method and processing period follow Paragraph 4.
-
Validity period of Points: Points are valid for one year from the date of top-up or accrual, and Points that pass their validity period expire automatically. The Company shall notify Members of the upcoming expiry by email or in-Service notification beginning 30 days before the scheduled expiry date, and Members may use the Points before expiry or request a refund of remaining Points under Paragraph 5. Where Points are partially used or additional top-ups are made, the validity period is calculated per individual top-up or accrual unit.
-
Where a Member requests additional deletion of their data after termination, the Company shall process the request within a reasonable period. The Company bears no obligation to restore deleted data.
-
The Company may terminate the service agreement with a Member upon prior notice in any of the following cases; whether the remaining period is refunded shall be determined individually according to the reason:
- The Member has violated these Terms or applicable law
- The Member has interfered with the Company's or another Member's use of the Service
- The Member has attempted payment by improper means or has abused the refund process
Article 10 (One Account = One Active Session Policy)
- To prevent circumvention of payment and to strengthen security, the Company permits only one active session at a time per Member account (the "Concurrent Session Limit").
- Where a login is made from a new device or browser using the same account, any existing session is immediately invalidated and that device is automatically logged out.
- On a forcibly logged-out device, a notice reading "You have been automatically logged out because this account was signed in on another device" is displayed. The Member may log in again and continue using the Service.
- Where a Member wishes to grant concurrent access to additional users, the Member must create separate user accounts and pay for the erp_user add-on option under Article 6.
- Sharing a single account among multiple natural persons, whether concurrently or sequentially, in order to avoid payment for the erp_user add-on option, constitutes a violation of these Terms.
- Upon detecting abnormal login patterns, the Company may request additional authentication, temporarily lock the account, or impose usage restrictions.
Article 11 (Obligations of Members)
- Members shall not engage in any of the following:
- Entering false information when applying for registration or making changes

- Ownership of all content entered or uploaded to the Service by a Member — including roasting profiles, inventory data and order data (collectively, "Member Data") — belongs to the Member.
- The Member grants the Company a non-exclusive licence to store, reproduce, transmit, display, back up and analyse Member Data to the extent necessary to operate the Service.
- The Company operates a reasonable backup policy; however, ultimate responsibility for preserving Member Data rests with the Member. Members are responsible for separately backing up important data.
- Upon termination of the service agreement (cancellation or withdrawal), the Company shall destroy Member Data as provided in the Privacy Policy. Members may export their data before termination (limited to formats supported by the Service).
- Where a Member enters into the Service personal data of third parties such as its employees (including employee health examination certificates, which are sensitive personal data under Article 23 of the Personal Information Protection Act), the Member is the controller of that data and the Company acts solely as a processor performing storage and management under Article 26 of the same Act. In that case:
- The Member is responsible for securing a lawful basis for processing, such as obtaining the data subject's separate consent, and for fulfilling any notice and disclosure obligations owed to the data subject under applicable law.
- The Company shall not use the data for any purpose beyond the entrusted work or provide it to third parties, and shall apply the technical and administrative safeguards set out in the Privacy Policy.

This limitation does not apply where the Company has acted with wilful misconduct or gross negligence.
