Apioni Terms of Service

This English version is a courtesy translation. The Korean-language version is the legally binding document; in case of any discrepancy, the Korean version prevails.

Effective date: 2026-06-14 (Amendment: the basis for withdrawal of subscription and refunds was changed to the time the license key is sent, and the wording on update provision was refined.)

Article 1 (Purpose)

These Terms set out the rights, obligations, and responsibilities between Foo AI Corp. (the "Company") and its customers regarding the purchase and use of a license for the desktop software "Apioni" (the "Software") provided by the Company.

Article 2 (Definitions)

1. "Software" means Apioni, the desktop application for macOS and Windows provided by the Company. The Software operates on-device by calling the local LLM runtime (Ollama) installed on the user's device, and is designed so that the user's documents and queries are not transmitted to the Company or to any external server.
2. "License" means the non-exclusive right to use the Software that the Company grants to the customer under these Terms.
3. "License Key" means the unique string the Company provides to the customer for the issuance and authentication of the License.
4. "Customer" means a corporation, sole proprietor, or individual that has purchased a License.
5. "Trial" means the 14-day evaluation period during which the Software may be used free of charge before purchase.

Article 3 (Posting and Amendment of the Terms)

1. The Company posts these Terms on its website (apioni.com) so that customers can easily review them.
2. The Company may amend these Terms to the extent that doing so does not violate applicable laws, including the Act on the Regulation of Terms and Conditions (약관의 규제에 관한 법률) and the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, etc. (전자상거래 등에서의 소비자보호에 관한 법률).
3. When amending the Terms, the Company will state the effective date and the reason for the amendment and post a notice on its website at least 7 days before the effective date. For changes that are unfavorable to customers, the Company will post the notice at least 30 days before the effective date and will provide individual notice via the email address collected at the time the License was issued.
4. An amendment of the Terms may not change the core content of an already-purchased License (the scope of the License, the guarantee of perpetual use, and the refund conditions) in a manner unfavorable to the customer.

Article 4 (Nature of the Software)

1. The Software is a one-time purchase product, not a subscription service. After purchase, the customer may use the already-installed Software perpetually without any additional payment or renewal.
2. The core functions of the Software run on the user's device. In the ordinary course of using the Software, the Company does not collect or transmit externally the user's documents, queries, or generated results.
3. The performance of the Software may vary depending on the user's device specifications (such as memory and storage), and the Company publishes the recommended specifications on its website.

Article 5 (Free Trial)

1. The Software can be downloaded and used free of charge for 14 days without any payment or card registration.
2. No charges arise during the Trial period, and no payment is made automatically when the Trial ends. To continue using the Software, the customer must purchase a License Key on their own initiative.
3. The Trial is an evaluation offering provided so that the customer can thoroughly verify the functionality and quality of the Software before purchase.

Article 6 (Grant and Scope of the License)

1. The Company grants a non-exclusive, non-transferable License to use the Software to customers who have paid the price.
2. A License is granted per single purchasing organization (a corporation, sole proprietor, or individual). The License Key may be installed and used on multiple devices within that organization, to the extent its officers and employees use it for business purposes.
3. The Company does not technically limit the number of installation devices. However, this assumes use within a single organization, and any use exceeding the scope of Paragraph 2 constitutes a breach of these Terms.
4. For individual customers, the License is limited to use by the individual who purchased it.

Article 7 (Prohibited Acts)

The customer must not engage in any of the following acts:

1. Sharing, lending, selling, or transferring the License Key to any third party outside the organization that purchased it;
2. Reselling or redistributing the Software or the License Key;
3. Circumventing or disabling the license authentication system;
4. Reverse-engineering, decompiling, or disassembling the Software beyond the extent permitted by applicable law;
5. Using the Software for any purpose that violates applicable law.

If the customer breaches this Article, the Company may request that the breach be remedied, and if it is not remedied within a reasonable period, the Company may terminate the License.

Article 8 (Price and Payment)

1. The License price is KRW 39,000 (VAT included), payable as a one-time charge.
2. Payment is made by card through the electronic payment system of KG INICIS. Payment information such as card numbers is handled directly by KG INICIS, and the Company does not store it.
3. After payment is completed, the Company issues the License Key to the email address entered by the customer.

Article 8-2 (Payment by Minors)

1. If a minor under the age of 19 purchases a License without the consent of their legal representative, the minor or the legal representative may cancel the payment in accordance with Article 5 of the Civil Act (민법).
2. The cancellation under Paragraph 1 may be exercised regardless of any restriction on withdrawal of subscription under Article 10 and the "Refund Policy" and regardless of whether the License Key has been sent. Once the cancellation is confirmed, the Company will refund the full payment amount.
3. To process a minor's cancellation of payment, the Company may request the submission of materials necessary to confirm matters such as whether the legal representative consented and whether the purchaser is in fact a minor.

Article 9 (Updates and Support)

1. After purchase, the customer may use the Software perpetually without any additional payment or renewal.
2. If a significant security issue is identified in the Software, the Company endeavors to address it with a free security patch. This Paragraph does not commit the Company to any specific provision period, and the Company will provide notice through its website when a patch is made available.
3. Use of the already-installed Software is not restricted regardless of whether the Company provides updates or security patches.
4. If supporting a particular operating system version becomes difficult due to causes beyond the Company's control, such as a policy change by an operating system vendor, the Company will provide advance notice through its website.

Article 10 (Withdrawal of Subscription and Refunds)

1. The provision of the License (digital content) is deemed to begin when, after payment is completed, the Company sends the License Key to the customer's email. Until the License Key is sent, the customer may withdraw their subscription and request a full refund for any reason.
2. After the License Key has been sent, because the customer was able to thoroughly evaluate the Software through the free Trial before payment (Article 5), withdrawal of subscription and refunds based on a simple change of mind are restricted in accordance with Article 17(2)5 and Article 17(6) of the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, etc. (전자상거래 등에서의 소비자보호에 관한 법률).
3. Notwithstanding Paragraph 2, (i) if the Software differs from its labeling/advertising or from the terms of the contract, or has a material defect, the customer may withdraw the subscription and claim a full refund in accordance with Article 17(3) of the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, etc. (전자상거래 등에서의 소비자보호에 관한 법률); and (ii) in the case of a minor's cancellation of payment (Article 8-2), the customer may claim a full refund regardless of whether the License Key has been sent.
4. The detailed conditions and procedures for refunds are governed by the separate "Refund Policy," which forms part of these Terms.
5. This Article and the Refund Policy do not restrict the rights guaranteed to customers under applicable laws, including the right of withdrawal of subscription, under the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, etc. (전자상거래 등에서의 소비자보호에 관한 법률), the Civil Act (민법), and the Act on the Regulation of Terms and Conditions (약관의 규제에 관한 법률).

Article 11 (Notice Regarding AI-Generated Results)

1. The Software uses generative AI (a local LLM) to produce results such as answers and summaries. By the nature of generative AI, the results may contain content that is inaccurate or inconsistent with the facts.
2. The customer should treat the generated results as reference material and must independently verify the source materials and the underlying facts before relying on the results for important decisions in areas such as legal, medical, or financial matters.
3. The Company does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose of the generated results. This, however, does not exempt the Company from its responsibility for the quality of the Software itself (Article 12).

Article 12 (The Company's Responsibility and Its Limits)

1. The Company will, in good faith and with due diligence, endeavor to ensure that the Software operates in accordance with the functional descriptions stated on its website.
2. The Company is responsible for damages incurred by the customer in accordance with applicable laws, including the Civil Act (민법) and the Act on the Regulation of Terms and Conditions (약관의 규제에 관한 법률). The limits of liability in this Article do not apply to damages arising from the Company's intent or gross negligence, damages to the customer's life or body caused by the Company's negligence, or other damages for which liability cannot be limited under applicable law.
3. Except in the cases set out in Paragraph 2, the Company's liability for damages that arise despite the Company exercising ordinary care is measured against ordinary damages. For damages arising from special circumstances that the customer, as a party to the transaction, could not ordinarily have foreseen (special damages), the Company is responsible only where it knew or could have known of those circumstances.
4. Nothing in this Article excludes or unfairly limits the Company's liability for damages in a manner that would be void under Article 7 of the Act on the Regulation of Terms and Conditions (약관의 규제에 관한 법률), nor does it restrict the rights granted to customers, such as under the Criteria for Resolution of Consumer Disputes (소비자분쟁해결기준).
5. For damages caused by reasons beyond the Company's control, such as force majeure or changes or failures in the operating system or third-party software (such as Ollama), the Company is not responsible except where the cause is attributable to the Company. When such causes arise, the Company will, within a reasonable scope, provide guidance on how to address them.

Article 13 (Termination of the License)

1. If the customer receives a refund, or if a minor's payment is canceled and refunded under Article 8-2, the relevant License Key loses its effect.
2. If the Company terminates a License because the customer breached the prohibited acts in Article 7, the Company will notify the customer by email of the grounds for termination and the requested remedy, grant the cure period under Article 7, and then terminate the License.

Article 14 (Dispute Resolution, Governing Law, and Jurisdiction)

1. In the event of a dispute between the Company and a customer, both parties will first endeavor to resolve it in good faith through consultation.
2. To resolve a consumer dispute, the customer may apply for mediation to a dispute mediation body designated by the Fair Trade Commission or a Mayor/Provincial Governor, the Korea Consumer Agency (1372, no area code required), or similar bodies.
3. These Terms are interpreted and applied in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Korea.
4. Jurisdiction over any lawsuit relating to these Terms is determined in accordance with the Civil Procedure Act (민사소송법).

Addendum

These Terms apply from 2026-06-14. For customers who purchased a License before these amended Terms took effect, any conditions in the Terms in force at the time of purchase that are more favorable to the customer continue to apply.
