Terms of Use

We, GemsCove Co. (hereinafter referred to as “GemsCove” or “Company”), operate the Prilog application and related websites (collectively referred to as the “App” or “Site”).

These Terms of Use (hereinafter referred to as “Terms”) set forth the conditions for using the Prilog app. By using the app, the user agrees to comply with these Terms. Specific features of the app may be subject to additional instructions, which are considered part of these Terms.

Purpose

The purpose of these Terms is to define the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of the user in connection with the use of the sites, apps, and any future content developed by GemsCove.

Effectiveness and Changes to the Terms

By downloading the app or using the service, the user is deemed to have agreed to and accepted these Terms. Users who do not agree to the Terms may not use the app.

The contents of these Terms take effect for all users who agree to them and are announced on the GemsCove website, the app interface, or through other notification methods.

The Company may revise these Terms when necessary, provided such changes do not violate applicable laws. If the Terms are amended, the Company will notify users of the changes via announcements within the app.

If a user does not agree to the revised Terms, they must discontinue using the app.

User Registration and Account Synchronization

Prilog does not require users to register an account. All users can access and use the app’s full range of features immediately after installation without creating a personal account.

By default, all diary entries are stored locally on the user’s device. If users enable the in-app synchronization feature, they can log in with their Google account to sync their data with their personal Google Drive. Once synchronization is enabled, any diary entries created prior to activation will also be uploaded to Google Drive. This allows users to access and use the same data across multiple devices. Google Drive functions solely as a storage location, and ownership of all diary data remains with the user.

Since Prilog does not involve account creation or management, the company cannot access or handle users’ diary content. Furthermore, diary-related data is never transmitted during error reporting processes.

User Obligations

Users must comply with applicable laws while using the service and must not engage in the following activities:

• Violating the rights of others
• Actions that compromise the stability of the app (e.g., uploading or distributing malicious code, viruses, etc.)
• Infringing on the copyrights or other rights of the company or third parties, or interfering with their operations
• Bypassing or disabling the company’s technical safeguards
• Copying, modifying, distributing, selling, transferring, leasing, pledging, or granting the use of any part of the service or the software contained therein without the Company’s consent
• Replicating, dismantling, imitating, or otherwise altering the service
• Misusing another person’s information or falsely stating a relationship with others
• Submitting inquiries or complaints containing abusive language, threats, sexual harassment, or repetitive claims that disrupt operations
• Engaging in any other unlawful activities

License and Usage Rights

The Company grants the user a limited, non-transferable license to use the Prilog app for personal and non-commercial purposes only. This license may not be sublicensed, and the user is prohibited from granting third parties a license, or engaging in activities such as selling or distributing the app without prior written consent from the Company.

The unique content included in the Prilog app (such as code, design, graphics, images, text, software, logos, etc.) is the exclusive property of the Company and is protected by copyright laws and other intellectual property rights.

The app includes open-source software provided under BSD-2-Clause, BSD-3-Clause, Apache-2.0, MIT, and OFL licenses. These software components are subject to the terms of their respective licenses. For further details, please refer to the licenses of the libraries included in the app.

The user may not reverse engineer, modify, copy, rent, lease, sell, display, or redistribute the app for commercial purposes. These actions are strictly prohibited.

Third-party content included in the app is subject to the respective third-party’s licensing conditions, and the use of such content must comply with these terms. The user may not copy or distribute third-party content without the Company’s approval.

In the event the user violates these Terms, the Company reserves the right to revoke the license granted to the user and suspend access to the app. In such cases, the user will no longer have access to the app, and all related rights will terminate.

Provision and Modification of Service

The Company provides the app “as is” and does not make any guarantees regarding its suitability for any particular purpose or non-infringement.

The Company may modify the service content due to changes in technical specifications or for unavoidable reasons. In such cases, the Company will notify users in advance, specifying the changes and the date they will take effect. However, in cases of unforeseen circumstances, prior notice may not be provided.

The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the services provided for free, based on company policy or operational needs, without offering any compensation for such changes.

Service Suspension and Termination

The Company may limit or suspend all or part of the services in the following cases:

• Regular or temporary inspections or maintenance of service equipment or systems
• Disruptions in service due to power outages, equipment failures, or excessive traffic affecting normal service use.
• The inability to maintain services due to termination of contracts with affiliates, government orders/regulations, or changes in service/member policies.
• Force majeure events such as natural disasters or national emergencies.

In the event of temporary service suspension, the Company will notify users through app or site announcements. However, if advance notice is difficult, urgent, or unavoidable, the Company may provide notification after the suspension.

If the Company can no longer provide services due to business changes, discontinuation, mergers, or other reasons, users will be notified through app or site announcements. However, if service suspension occurs due to factors beyond the Company’s control (e.g., disk failures or system downtime not caused by the Company), prior notice may not be possible, and the Company may notify users afterward.

The right to suspend or modify the service is held by GemsCove, and users may not dispute such decisions.

Users may discontinue the use of the service at any time. However, any data that the Company is legally entitled to retain after service termination will be processed in accordance with the Terms.

Privacy Protection

The Company is committed to protecting the personal information of users and collects only the minimum amount necessary for the operation of the service. The personal information collected during the use of the app is protected in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

Prilog does not require users to register, and does not collect or store any data entered by the user. However, the Company processes only the minimum information necessary to provide services such as error reporting, email inquiries, and Google Drive synchronization. When using the Google Drive synchronization feature, users log in to their Google account directly through the app to connect their drive, and Prilog does not store or access users’ Google account information (such as email address or password). For more details, please refer to the Privacy Policy.

Outsourcing of Personal Data Processing

The Company outsources personal data processing to an external service provider, Sentry, for service improvement and error analysis. This service automatically collects users’ device information and error logs, which are used solely for analysis to enhance service stability and resolve issues. The Company does not collect or store users’ personal data directly, and the third-party service provider only processes error logs and device information.

Additionally, when users wish to utilize the Google Drive synchronization feature, they may provide their Google Drive account information to proceed with synchronization. In this case, the Company does not store users’ Google account information or passwords, and the synchronized data is processed only on the user’s device.

The Company is not responsible for the privacy protection and security of third-party service providers related to personal data processing and users may be subject to the privacy policies of these service providers.

Payments and Subscriptions

The free trial is limited by the number of diary entries, and users can access all features for the first 14 entries. To write 15 or more diary entries, users must choose a premium option. There are three premium options, each providing the same features:

• Monthly subscription: billed monthly
• Annual subscription: billed annually
• Lifetime purchase: one-time payment for lifetime access

All payments are processed through the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the renewal date, and users will be charged within 24 hours of the renewal date.

To cancel a subscription, users must do so via the subscription management page in the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. If a subscription is canceled, users can continue using all features until the end of the current subscription period. However, once the subscription period ends, the diary writing feature will no longer be available.

If both the Lifetime Purchase and a subscription are purchased, the subscription will not be automatically canceled. To avoid double billing, users must manually cancel the subscription either via the in-app subscription management feature or directly in the app store.

The Company reserves the right to change the subscription fee for the service. If a change in the subscription fee occurs, the Company will notify users in advance via an in-app announcement. The new subscription fee will take effect at the next renewal, and existing subscribers can decide whether to continue their subscription according to the notice provided before the new fee is applied.

Except as required by law, subscription fees are non-refundable.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from the use or inability to use the app. This includes, but is not limited to, data loss, loss of profits, service interruptions, or other commercial damages and losses. However, in certain jurisdictions, limitations on liability for personal injury or incidental and consequential damages may not be permitted, and therefore, this limitation may not apply to users in those jurisdictions. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, all risks and liabilities related to the use of the app are borne by the user.

The user is solely responsible for the content they create, and the Company shall not be liable for any issues or damages arising from such content.

If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid or unenforceable by a competent court, that provision shall be considered severed from the Terms, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Dispute Resolution

The Company will consider and address any legitimate concerns or complaints raised by users through email. Complaints will be handled promptly, and if it is not possible to resolve them quickly, the user will be notified of the reasons and the expected timeline for resolution.

Any disputes between the user and the Company shall be resolved primarily through consultation and mediation. If a resolution cannot be reached through consultation or mediation, the parties may proceed with dispute resolution through an appropriate dispute resolution agency, in accordance with applicable laws. Dispute resolution shall, in principle, be governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, although in cases where the user resides in a particular region (e.g., European Union, United States), the mandatory regulations of that region may take precedence.

All legal disputes will be subject to the governing law provisions outlined in these Terms.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, and any disputes arising between the Company and the user will be interpreted and resolved in accordance with Korean law. In the event that a lawsuit is filed in connection with these Terms or the use of the service, the exclusive jurisdiction shall lie with the court located where the Company’s headquarters are based. However, if mandatory laws in a particular region require otherwise, the laws of that region shall take precedence.

The governing law clause in these Terms shall remain effective as long as it does not conflict with mandatory laws, in which case the applicable mandatory laws will apply.

Prohibition of Class Actions

The User agrees that any dispute arising from these Terms or the use of the Service shall be resolved individually and not through class actions or any other collective procedures. All claims and disputes between the User and the Company may only be filed individually and may not be filed as part of a class action, consolidated action, representative action, or any other form of collective litigation.

If the laws of a specific country or region do not permit such a restriction, this provision may not be enforceable in that region.
