Gidem Terms of Service

This is an English translation of the Korean Terms of Service. If the two versions differ, the Korean version prevails.

Article 1 (Purpose)

These Terms set out the conditions and procedures for using "Gidem" (the "Service"), a voice messaging app for couples provided by Daisuyou (the "Company"), and the rights and obligations of the Company and users.

Article 2 (Definitions)

• "Voice message": a voice recording a user sends to their partner
• "Walkie call": a real-time conversation where two people take turns talking. The voice is not saved.
• "Couple connection": linking two accounts with a connection code to create a space just for the two of you

Article 3 (Effect and changes of these Terms)

The Company may change these Terms and will announce changes in the app at least 7 days before they take effect (30 days for changes unfavorable to users). If you do not agree to the changed Terms, you may stop using the Service and delete your account.

Article 4 (Sign-up)

• You sign up with a Kakao or Google account.
• Children under 14 cannot sign up.

Article 4-2 (Account deletion and restrictions)

• You can delete your account at any time in the app's settings. If you sign in again within 3 months, the deletion is cancelled.
• If a user violates Article 10 and harms other users or the Service, the Company may restrict use after notice. Except in urgent cases, the user will have a chance to respond.

Article 5 (Connecting and disconnecting)

• You are connected when one person sends a connection code and the other enters it. The code disappears after 24 hours.
• Disconnecting from your partner and deleting your account are separate. If you disconnect, your account remains and you can connect again.

Article 6 (Content and deletion)

• Rights to the voice, photos and text you upload belong to you. The Company uses them only as needed to provide the Service (storage, transmission, backup, compression).
• Only the receiver can delete a voice message. The sender cannot cancel or delete it after sending. (The core principle of the Service: words once sent stay as they are.)
• Photos can be deleted by the person who uploaded them.
• Voice in walkie mode is not saved; only the time and length of the call are recorded.

Article 7 (Data storage and backup)

• The Company stores and backs up your data in several places so it is not lost.
• When you delete your account, we guide you to export a backup, and your data is erased 3 months after deletion. The free backup file is provided in original sound.
• The Company does not delete your data without prior notice and a chance to back it up.
• Voice messages you exchanged are also the other person's records. If one person deletes their account, the messages remain on the other person's side while they still use the Service. Once both have deleted their accounts, they are erased after 3 months.

Article 8 (Paid services)

• There is a Premium subscription (₩2,900 per month or the local store price) and Lifetime (one-time payment). Benefits include no ads, original sound, and keeping everything for as long as the Service runs (as described in the app).
• When one person pays, their connected partner gets the same benefits. The payment record stays with the person who paid.
• Payments are made through Google Play, ONE store and Galaxy Store. Payment, cancellation and refunds follow each store's policy and applicable law.
• Subscriptions renew automatically every month unless cancelled. You can cancel in the store's subscription management.
• With Lifetime, the purchaser keeps the benefits even if the couple disconnects.
• When you disconnect, voice messages and photos from before become "Past memories" and can be viewed free in the app for 90 days from the day you disconnected. To keep viewing them in the app after that, a one-time Memory Keep purchase or Premium is needed. Exporting them as files is always free.
• Withdrawal: you may withdraw (get a refund) within 7 days of payment if you have not used the paid benefits. For digital content you have started using (e.g. applying a purchased sticker or theme), withdrawal may be limited under Article 17 of the Korean E-Commerce Act, and the Company will show this on the payment screen in advance.
• If you cancel a subscription, you will not be charged from the next billing, and you keep the benefits until the paid period ends.
• If we raise the subscription price or reduce benefits, we will notify you at least 30 days in advance and ask for consent as required by store policy. If you do not agree, the subscription ends at the next renewal.
• If a minor pays without the consent of a legal guardian, the minor or guardian may cancel the payment.
• Refunds are made through the store where you paid (Google Play, ONE store, Galaxy Store).

Article 9 (Ads)

Free users see ads on some screens in the app (settings, anniversaries, etc.). Ads are never shown while recording or on a walkie call.

Article 9-2 (Notifications)

The Company may send service notices such as new voice messages, walkie calls, anniversary and trip reminders, and the once-a-day message reminder. You can turn them off in the app's settings. Promotional notifications are sent only with your separate consent.

Article 10 (User obligations)

You must not use someone else's account, share recordings or photos outside the Service without the other person's consent, or interfere with the Service.

Article 10-2 (Company obligations)

• The Company follows the law and these Terms and strives to provide the Service reliably.
• The Company protects your personal information according to the Privacy Policy.
• Complaints and requests are received at the contact below and handled promptly. If it takes time, we will tell you why and when.

Article 10-3 (Notices)

The Company notifies you through in-app notices or notifications, or by email to your account. Notices for all users are posted in the app for at least 7 days.

Article 11 (Service interruption)

• The Company may pause the Service for maintenance or outages, and will notify you in advance when possible.
• Your records are kept for as long as the Service runs. If the Company ever ends the Service completely, it will notify you in the app and by notification at least 90 days in advance, and during that period you can export all your records (original voice messages, photos, etc.) for free. Remaining paid benefits such as Lifetime will be handled according to applicable law and store policies.

Article 12 (Limitation of liability)

The Company is not liable for damage caused by events it cannot prevent, such as natural disasters. However, the Company is liable under applicable law for damage caused by its intent or negligence.

Article 13 (Disputes)

Disputes are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, and the competent court is determined under the Civil Procedure Act.
