Terms of Service

Effective: 2026-08-28

This is a reference translation. The Korean version is the legally binding text; if the two differ, the Korean version prevails.

Article 1 (Purpose)

These Terms set out the rights, obligations and responsibilities of JOSHUA & COMPANY Inc. (the "Company") and users, together with the conditions and procedures of use, in connection with the AI dream reading service "Ask Dalrae" (the "Service").

Article 2 (Definitions)

1. "Service" means all services in which artificial intelligence generates and provides a reading of a dream entered by the user, grounded in a traditional dream dictionary.
2. "User" means a person who uses the Service under these Terms.
3. "Reading" means the text, images and other output the Service generates and displays for the dream a user has entered.
4. "Coins" means the prepaid digital goods the Company issues and sells so that users may use paid features.
5. "Dream dictionary" means the database of dream symbols and their readings built by the Company.

Article 3 (Effect and amendment of these Terms)

1. These Terms are announced by posting them on the Service, and take effect when a user uses the Service.
2. The Company may amend these Terms within the limits of applicable law, including the Act on the Regulation of Terms and Conditions and the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce.
3. Where these Terms are amended, the Company posts the amended content and its effective date on the Service from 7 days before that date. Where an amendment is unfavourable to users, it is posted from 30 days before that date.
4. A user who does not agree to amended Terms may stop using the Service. Continued use after the announced effective date is treated as agreement to the amended Terms.

Article 4 (Content of the Service)

1. The Company provides: generation and display of AI readings for dreams entered by users; access to the dream dictionary by symbol; and any other service the Company develops or offers through partnership.
2. The Service is in principle free of charge, and a daily usage limit (currently 3 per day) may be applied to protect server resources. The Company may change this limit and will announce any change on the Service.
3. The Company may make part of the Service paid or introduce new paid features. In that case the scope, price and payment method are announced on the Service in advance. Where a feature already provided free of charge becomes paid, the announcement is made 30 days in advance.
4. The Company may display advertisements on the Service, and users agree to the display of advertisements shown while using the Service.

Article 5 (Formation of the use contract)

1. The use contract is formed when a user agrees to these Terms and accesses and uses the Service.
2. The Service can currently be used without any sign-up procedure. The Company may later introduce member features such as social login, in which case a separate consent procedure and notice will be provided.
3. The Company may restrict use of the Service where provision is technically impossible, where a user breaches applicable law or these Terms, or where a user uses or attempts to use the Service by improper means.

Article 6 (User obligations)

Users must not do any of the following when using the Service.

1. Enter content that infringes another person's personal data, reputation or rights.
2. Enter obscene, violent or hateful content, or content contrary to public order and morals.
3. Access the Service abnormally or generate bulk requests using automated means such as bots, scripts or crawlers.
4. Circumvent or disable the usage limit, payment procedures or similar controls.
5. Reverse engineer the Service, or collect and copy the dream dictionary or readings in bulk to build a service that competes with the Company.
6. Cause faults in servers or networks.
7. Any other act contrary to applicable law.

Users are responsible for the lawfulness of the dream content they enter and for its consequences. When entering a dream, users should take care not to include personal data that identifies themselves or others, such as real names, contact details, resident registration numbers or account numbers.

Article 7 (Paid service: Coins)

1. Coins are prepaid digital goods issued by the Company. Users may purchase Coins by the methods the Company provides and use them for paid features.
2. The price, unit of sale and use of Coins are shown on the purchase screen and may be changed by the Company. A change applies to Coins purchased after the change and is not applied retroactively to Coins already purchased.
3. Coins do not expire and do not lapse while the Service is maintained. Where the Service is terminated, Article 9 applies.
4. Coins are not refundable in cash and may not be transferred to other users or traded outside the Service. This does not apply to withdrawal of subscription and refunds under Article 8.
5. Where it is confirmed that a user obtained Coins by improper means, the Company may reclaim those Coins and restrict use of the Service.

Article 8 (Withdrawal of subscription and refunds)

1. Under Article 17 of the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, a user may withdraw a purchase within 7 days of the date of purchase or the date of receiving the written contract.
2. However, under Article 17(2) of the same Act, withdrawal is restricted for Coins already used. Coins constitute consideration for digital content, and where a user has received a reading by spending Coins, provision of that content is treated as having commenced for that portion.
3. For goods used divisibly, such as Coins, withdrawal remains possible for unused Coins. In that case the Company refunds the amount corresponding to the unused Coins.
4. Even after the period in paragraph 1, where unused Coins remain within a reasonable period from the payment date, the Company may refund the unused portion at the user's request. Costs actually incurred, such as payment gateway fees, may be deducted.
5. Where purchased Coins differ from what was displayed or advertised, or the contract was performed differently from its terms, a user may withdraw under Article 17(3) of the same Act within 30 days of learning of that fact, and within 3 months of supply.
6. Withdrawal and refunds may be requested at hello@joshua.site with the purchase date and payment method. The Company refunds within 3 business days of receiving the request; depending on the payment method, processing may take additional time.
7. Where payment was made through an external platform such as the Apple App Store or Google Play, that platform's refund policy may take precedence.

Article 9 (Change, suspension and termination of the Service)

1. The Company may change the content of the Service or suspend part of it, and announces material changes on the Service in advance.
2. The Company may suspend the Service temporarily without prior notice where maintenance such as repair, replacement or inspection of equipment is required; where a power failure, line fault or failure of an external service (AI processing, hosting, database and similar) occurs; where force majeure such as a natural disaster or national emergency occurs; or where normal provision is difficult due to a surge in usage.
3. Where the Company terminates the Service entirely, it announces this on the Service at least 30 days before the termination date and refunds the amount corresponding to any unused Coins held by users.

Article 10 (Notice regarding readings, and disclaimer)

Readings are content for entertainment and reference grounded in traditional dream interpretation. Please enjoy them, and please keep the following in mind.

1. Readings cannot be a basis for medical or psychological advice, legal advice, investment decisions, or major life decisions such as career or marriage. For judgements about health, property or legal matters, consult a professional in that field.
2. Readings are generated by artificial intelligence. They are not statements of fact or predictions of the future, and their accuracy, completeness and reliability are not warranted.
3. The Company is not liable for loss arising from judgements or actions a user takes in reliance on a reading. This does not apply to loss caused by the Company's intent or gross negligence.
4. The Company is released from liability where it cannot provide the Service for reasons beyond its control, such as natural disaster, force majeure or failure of an external service.
5. The Company is not responsible for the reliability or accuracy of content users enter into the Service.
6. The Company has no obligation to intervene in disputes arising through the Service between users, or between a user and a third party, and is not liable for loss arising from them.
7. Advertisements displayed on the Service are supplied by advertisers or advertising networks. The Company is not responsible for their content or for transactions on external sites reached through them.

Article 11 (Intellectual property)

1. Copyright and other intellectual property rights in all works and marks included in the Service, including the dream dictionary database, illustrations, the design and name of the character "Dalrae", the composition of the Service screens, logos and copy, belong to the Company.
2. Users may not reproduce, distribute, transmit, display, publish, create derivative works from, or commercially use the intellectual property in paragraph 1 without the Company's prior written consent.
3. Rights in the dream content a user enters belong to that user. The Company uses it only to generate the reading and to improve the quality of the Service.
4. Users may freely use or share the readings they receive for personal, non-commercial purposes. Commercial use, or collection and redistribution in bulk, requires the Company's prior consent.

Article 12 (Protection of personal data)

The Company works to protect users' personal data as required by the Personal Information Protection Act and other applicable law. Details of collection, use, entrustment and overseas transfer are set out in the Privacy Policy.

Article 13 (Dispute resolution and governing law)
