Terms of Service
The principal changes from the Terms dated August 10, 2026 (v3) are:
- A new urgent-security-response provision requires content-free metadata to be reviewed first and permits temporary, minimum-scope review of incident-related content records only when metadata is insufficient and further harm is imminent. It also requires masking, restricted access, access logs, limits on sensitive-information use, and prompt destruction.
- Trial operation of the Service as a whole ends at 00:00 KST on September 29, 2026. After that time, only features individually designated and identified by the Company are treated as Trial Features.
- The Terms clarify that mandatory law in a User's country of residence may govern interpretation or jurisdiction differently.
- New U.S. supplemental terms address informal dispute resolution, individual arbitration, class-action and jury-trial waivers, mass arbitration, opt-out rights, warranty disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, and California notices. Arbitration and waiver provisions apply to existing U.S. Users only after separate affirmative assent.
