Article 1 (Purpose)

These Terms and Conditions clearly define the rights, obligations, responsibilities, terms and procedures for service use, and other legal relationships between the "Company" and "Users" regarding the use of all artificial intelligence (AI)-based role-playing platforms, websites, mobile applications, application programming interfaces (APIs), and all associated digital services (collectively, the "Services") developed, operated, and provided by Involuti (hereinafter referred to as the "Company"). The purpose of these Terms and Conditions is to ensure efficient service operation and legal security in a rapidly changing AI technology environment. In particular, these Terms and Conditions reflect the intent of relevant laws (e.g., the Framework Act on Artificial Intelligence) in consideration of the unique nature of AI technology, and focus on ensuring user safety and clarifying the Company's scope of responsibility to the fullest extent possible. These Terms and Conditions take effect upon the user's access to the Service, whether by logging in, creating an account, or browsing the Service as a non-member. By using the Service, the user is deemed to have fully agreed to these Terms and all individual operating policies announced by the Company from time to time.

Article 2 (Definitions of Terms)

The definitions of key terms used in these Terms and Conditions are as follows. Terms not defined in this Article shall be governed by relevant laws and customary practices.

1. "Service" refers to all digital platforms and accompanying tangible and intangible services that utilize Large Language Models (LLMs) and artificial intelligence algorithms independently developed by the Company or licensed from third parties (e.g., LLM providers) to provide users with the ability to interact with virtual characters, generate text, create images and voices, build character personas, and create worldview scenarios.

3. "Member" refers to an individual who has officially registered for the Service, possesses a unique identification (ID), continuously uses the Company's paid and free services, and has a contractual relationship with the Company. 4. "AI character (or persona)" refers to a computational entity based on an artificial intelligence model, endowed with a specific personality, background story, speech pattern, values, knowledge system, and memory data, which converses with users or performs specific virtual scenarios. It is not a sentient or living being, but rather a probabilistic computational system.
4. "Prompt" refers to any form of text, image, file, command, configuration data, or situational settings entered into the service's input window to induce interaction with an AI character or perform a specific command.
5. "Generated Content (Output)" refers to all forms of data output, including text, images, code, and voice, generated in real time by the company's AI system through probabilistic computation in response to a user-entered prompt.
6. "User-Generated Content (UGC)" includes character profiles, background scenarios, worldview settings, and saved dialogue logs created or configured by users, as well as all visual and textual materials uploaded by users. 8. "Paid Services" refers to premium features, access to advanced AI models, and additional digital content that users access by paying a separate fee or consuming paid goods (credits, tokens, subscriptions, etc.).

2. The Company has the exclusive, absolute, and unilateral right to modify or completely revise these Terms and Conditions at any time, without prior notice, to meet business needs, enhance technical security, update AI models, reflect market fluctuations, address policy decisions, or manage legal risks, as long as it does not violate relevant laws and regulations (e.g., the Act on Regulation of Terms and Conditions, the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, the Content Industry Promotion Act, etc.). 3. If the Terms of Use are revised, the Company will post the revised Terms of Use on the Service's notice board or in a pop-up window on the home screen, specifying the effective date and reason for the revision. If the revision includes significant or unfavorable changes to users (e.g., increased fees for paid services, reduced liability coverage), notice will be provided at least 30 days prior to the effective date. Individual notification may be provided via the member's registered email address or other means. However, urgent changes for technical defect corrections, security patches, or legal compliance may be applied immediately.
3. If the user continues to use the Service, log in, or use the creation function after the effective date of the revised Terms of Use, the user will be deemed to have unconditionally, definitively, and irrevocably agreed to all provisions of the revised Terms of Use. If the user does not agree to the revised Terms of Use, the user must terminate the Service Agreement and cease using the Service.

Chapter 3: Technical Nature and Disclaimer of AI Services

Article 7 (Disclaimer of Fictionality of Generated Content)

1. Principle of Fiction: All conversations, knowledge, information, value judgments, advice, counsel, and data output generated by AI characters in this service are fictional computations automatically generated by AI algorithms based on probabilistic calculations, not actual human intelligence or consciousness. No statement made by AI characters represents or verifies the company's official views, actual facts, or the opinions of any specific individual or group. Even if the AI ​​asserts, "I am ~" or "This is true," this is merely part of role-playing and not objective truth.
2. Explicit Consent to Hallucinations: Users begin using the service fully understanding that, due to technical limitations, the AI ​​model may definitively answer questions about non-existent people, places, dates, or facts as if they were real (hallucinations), or generate answers containing serious logical errors. The user acknowledges that this phenomenon is an inherent characteristic of AI technology and will not raise any objections to the company regarding this.
3. No Warranty and Responsibility for Results: The company makes no express or implied warranties regarding the truthfulness, accuracy, currency, usefulness, reliability, morality, legality, or fitness for a particular purpose of the generated content. The user is solely responsible for any legal and social consequences arising from any actions (such as online posting, offline citation, or decision-making) taken based on or relying on the AI ​​character's answers.
4. Bias and Offensive Content: Due to the influence of training data, AI may exhibit biased views toward certain races, religions, or political views, or may output unpleasant, inappropriate, or offensive responses regardless of the user's intent. The company informs that it cannot have complete control over these autonomous AI creations and will not compensate or be liable for any psychological damage suffered by the user as a result.

Article 8 (Prohibition of Consultation in Specialized Fields and Disclaimer of Direct Damages)

1. Absolutely No Substitution for Expert Advice: This service is not designed to provide reliable information in areas requiring advanced expertise and nationally recognized qualifications, such as medical care (including psychiatric diagnosis and psychotherapy), legal advice, tax advice, real estate contract advice, or financial product investment. Even if the AI ​​character answers these questions, this is merely part of a virtual role-play and is in no way a substitute for actual expert advice.
2. Disclaimer of Liability in Case of Damages: The company is not liable for any physical injury, death, mental shock, significant economic loss, or disputes with third parties resulting from the user's decision to undergo medical treatment (e.g., taking medication), initiating or waiving legal disputes, or making financial investments based on the AI ​​character's answers. If a user requires professional advice, they must personally consult with a qualified expert in the relevant field. 3. Warning Regarding Virtual Personalities: Users must clearly understand that AI characters do not possess real emotions or life. The company assumes no legal obligation or responsibility for any psychological side effects, such as emotional over-immersion, numbness, social isolation, or loss of interpersonal relationships, resulting from continuous interaction with virtual characters. Users are solely responsible for any psychological or physical damage resulting from confusing virtual characters with real people.
3. Prohibition of Psychological Dependence: Users must not use AI characters as a means of professional treatment or counseling. Interactions with AI are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide any medical guarantees regarding the user's emotional state.

Article 9 (Disclaimer of Liability in Emergency Situations)

1. No Crisis Management Services Provided: This service does not provide crisis management functions directly related to the user's life or physical safety, such as suicide prevention, self-harm prevention, domestic violence counseling, emergency rescue requests, or crime reporting. 2. Lack of Legal or Structural Effects: Even if a user expresses suicidal or self-harming intentions, plans to harm others, or an urgent medical crisis during a conversation, the AI ​​character's responses have no legal effect and do not prompt rescue efforts by public institutions or the intervention of professional counselors. The company's system does not act as an agent for emergency reporting or automatically send rescue requests to relevant authorities based on conversation content.
2. Emergency Contact Recommendations and Disclaimer: In case of crisis, users must immediately contact a state-designated professional rescue agency (e.g., suicide prevention hotline 109, emergency call 119/112). The company is absolutely exempt from all civil and criminal liability for any self-harm, injury, death, or accidents resulting from the AI ​​system's delayed response, malfunction, non-response, or inducement of inappropriate or dangerous responses. The company does not guarantee the appropriateness of responses generated in situations involving danger to life or body.
