This is an English translation provided for convenience. The Korean version is the legally binding original; where the two differ, the Korean version prevails. Read the Korean original

Article 1 (Purpose)

These Terms govern the relationship between the business operating SparkLore AI (the "Company") and the members who use the service (the "Service"), including rights, obligations, and the conditions and procedures for use. The Company's legal name, representative, business registration number, e-commerce registration number, address, and contact details are shown at the bottom of the Korean site.

Article 2 (Definitions)

  1. "Service" means the AI-assisted writing tools for novels, web novels, and screenplays that the Company provides at sparkloreai.com and related domains.
  2. "Member" means a person who signs in with a Google account, agrees to these Terms, and uses the Service.
  3. "Credits" are the in-service unit deducted when you use AI generation features. One credit corresponds to roughly 100 generated words; the deduction may vary by model and feature. Credits have no cash value and are not transferable.
  4. "Subscription" means a recurring monthly plan that charges a fixed fee and grants a fixed number of credits each month. Subscription credits are valid only within the billing cycle in which they are granted and do not roll over.
  5. "Pack" means a one-time purchase of credits. Pack credits are valid for 90 days from the date they are granted.
  6. "Input" means any data a Member enters or stores in the Service, including manuscripts, story bibles (characters, world, plot), and instructions.
  7. "Output" means text produced by the Service's AI features from a Member's Input and instructions.

Article 3 (Effect and Amendment of the Terms)

  1. These Terms take effect when posted in the Service or otherwise communicated to Members.
  2. The Company may amend these Terms within the limits of applicable Korean law, including the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, the Act on the Regulation of Terms and Conditions, and the Content Industry Promotion Act.
  3. Amendments are announced in the Service at least 7 days before they take effect (30 days for changes unfavorable to Members), with the effective date and reason stated. Unfavorable changes are also notified by email.
  4. If a Member continues to use the Service after the effective date without objecting, the Member is deemed to have accepted the amended Terms. A Member who does not agree may terminate the agreement.

Article 4 (Accounts)

  1. Sign-up is done through Google sign-in. The Company does not store a separate password.
  2. One person may use only one account. Creating multiple accounts to repeatedly claim free credits is prohibited; the Company may reclaim credits and restrict such accounts.
  3. Members are responsible for their account and must notify the Company immediately of any unauthorized use.
  4. Members may close their account at any time from the account page or through support. Remaining credits expire on closure (except amounts refundable under Article 7), and Input is handled as described in Article 8.

Article 5 (The Service)

The Service provides AI-assisted writing features (continue, rewrite, scene and dialogue generation, story bible management, novel-to-screenplay conversion, critique) and editing features for storing and exporting manuscripts. Available features and AI models depend on the plan and are described on the pricing page.

  1. Output is a draft produced probabilistically by a large language model. It may be factually wrong, inconsistent, or different from what you intended. You are responsible for reviewing and editing Output before use.
  2. The Company does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, originality, or fitness for a particular purpose of any Output.
  3. Some requests may be declined or altered under the safety policies of the AI providers.
  4. The Company may improve or change features, models, and credit deduction rules, and will announce material changes in advance.
  5. The Service consists of a free tier (credits granted on sign-up — about 3,000 words — and free tool pages) and paid products. Free use may be limited by daily usage, output length, and number of projects (1 for free members).

Article 6 (Fees and Payment)

  1. Paid products, prices, credit amounts, and validity periods are as displayed on the pricing page. Displayed prices are the final amount charged, inclusive of applicable taxes where stated.
  2. Payments within Korea are processed in KRW through PayApp; international payments are processed through Whop in USD or another displayed currency. The Company does not store card numbers or other payment instrument details.
  3. Subscriptions are recurring. They renew and are charged automatically on the same day each month, starting from the first payment date, until you cancel. You give separate consent to this when subscribing.
  4. You can cancel a subscription at any time from the account page (and, for Whop payments, from the Whop customer portal). Cancelling before the next billing date stops future charges; credits already granted remain usable until the end of the current cycle.
  5. If the Company changes subscription fees, current subscribers are notified by email at least 30 days before the change applies and may cancel before that date.
  6. If a renewal payment fails, the account reverts to the free tier. Stored manuscripts are kept.

Article 7 (Withdrawal and Refunds)

Paid products are digital content under the Korean Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce. The Company handles withdrawal and refunds as follows, in accordance with Article 17 of that Act and the Content Industry Promotion Act. If the mandatory consumer law of your country of residence grants you stronger rights, those rights are not limited by this Article.

  1. Within 7 days of payment and no credits used: full refund.
  2. Within 7 days of payment and some credits used: the amount corresponding to the credits used (payment × credits used ÷ credits granted) is deducted and the remainder refunded. You are informed at checkout that withdrawal is limited for the portion already used.
  3. Packs older than 7 days are generally non-refundable, except where the Company's fault prevented normal use, in which case a proportional refund is made.
  4. For subscriptions, cancelling before the next billing date stops renewal. The current month's charge is refundable under items 1 and 2 (within 7 days of payment). After 7 days, the current month is not refunded pro rata.
  5. Credits granted free on sign-up or through promotions are not refundable.
  6. Refunds are made to the original payment method. The Company requests the refund from the payment provider within 3 business days of confirming eligibility; the provider or card issuer may take additional time.
  7. Submit refund requests from the account page or by email to hello@sparkloreai.com, including the email used for payment and the order number.
  8. Refunds may be limited where an account is restricted for violating these Terms.

Article 8 (Copyright and Data)

  1. You retain copyright in your Input. The Company uses Input only as needed to provide the Service (storage, display, AI processing, export).
  2. Rights in Output belong to you to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Company claims no rights in Output, and you may publish, serialize, and commercially use it. Whether AI-generated text qualifies for copyright protection varies by jurisdiction, and the Company makes no warranty on this point.
  3. The Company does not use your Input or Output to train AI models, and configures its contracts with third-party AI providers so that your data is not used for training.
  4. Input is kept in your projects until you delete it or close your account. Deleted projects are permanently removed after a 30-day recovery window; on account closure, Input is deleted or irreversibly anonymized immediately, and backup copies are purged within 30 days.
  5. Parts of your Input are sent to third-party AI providers for processing. The scope and the providers are listed in the Privacy Policy.
  6. You must not enter third-party works without authorization or use Output to infringe another person's copyright, likeness, or reputation. You are responsible for any resulting dispute.
  7. The Service itself (software, design, trademarks, prompt design, and explanatory content) remains the Company's property.

Article 9 (Prohibited Conduct)

Members must not:

  1. use another person's account or create multiple accounts to repeatedly claim free benefits;
  2. send excessive automated requests or attempt to bypass credit deduction;
  3. reverse-engineer the Service or bulk-collect AI responses to build competing services or train models;
  4. attempt to generate content that violates the law or the AI providers' usage policies, including child sexual abuse material, sexual depictions of real people, incitement of hatred or violence, promotion of self-harm, or specific instructions for illegal acts;
  5. distribute Output while presenting it as the statement, article, or official document of a real person or organization;
  6. exploit vulnerabilities or attempt to access other Members' data;
  7. otherwise violate the law or public order or interfere with the operation of the Service.

Article 10 (Minors)

  1. Persons under 14 may not sign up.
  2. Minors aged 14 to 18 need the consent of a legal guardian to purchase paid products. A purchase made by a minor without such consent may be cancelled by the minor or the guardian.

Article 11 (Suspension and Restriction)

  1. The Company may temporarily suspend the Service for maintenance, outages at AI, payment, or hosting providers, or force majeure, and will announce this in advance where possible.
  2. If paid service is unavailable for 24 consecutive hours or more due to the Company's fault, the Company compensates with credits or service time corresponding to the outage.
  3. If a Member violates Article 9, the Company may restrict use or terminate the agreement after notice (or, in urgent cases, with notice afterward). Members may object, and access is restored promptly if the objection is justified.

Article 12 (Disclaimer)

  1. The Company is not responsible for outcomes you obtain by using Output (publication, contests, contracts). Reviewing Output and making final decisions is your responsibility.
  2. The Company does not intervene in disputes between Members or between a Member and a third party arising through the Service and is not liable for resulting damages.
  3. The Company is not responsible for manuscript loss caused by the Member (cleared browser storage, shared accounts, etc.). Keep separate copies of important work using the export feature.
  4. Except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence, the Company's liability is limited to the fees you paid in the 3 months preceding the event. Rights granted to consumers by mandatory law are not limited by this clause.

Article 13 (Governing Law and Disputes)

  1. These Terms and your use of the Service are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea.
  2. Disputes are first resolved through good-faith consultation. Korean residents may also seek remedies through the Korea Consumer Agency or the Electronic Commerce Dispute Mediation Committee.
  3. Any lawsuit not resolved by consultation is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Seoul Central District Court as the court of first instance, subject to any mandatory venue rules that protect consumers.
  4. For Members outside Korea, Korean law still governs; however, where the mandatory consumer protection law of your country of residence grants you more favorable rights, those rights are not limited.
