Terms of Use

1. Purpose

These Terms of Use set out the conditions and procedures for using Arctic Habit (the "Service") provided by GO2GYM STUDIO (고투짐 스튜디오, "we", "us") and the rights and obligations of you and us. If this English version and the Korean version differ, the Korean version prevails to the extent permitted by the law that applies to you.

2. Definitions

2. User ("you"): anyone who accepts these Terms and uses the Service.
3. Account: the Service account you create with Apple, Google or an email sign-in code.
4. Focus session: one period of focus, 10 to 180 minutes long, that you choose.
5. Rewards: the animals, decorations, Focus Ice and other digital items you receive in the app when you complete a focus session.
6. Focus Ice: a digital item you receive based on the time you focus, usable only in the app, for example to expand your island.
7. Focus Lock: the feature that locks apps during a focus session using iOS Screen Time.
8. Invite code: the code issued to each account for inviting friends.
9. Rewarded ad: an ad that you choose to watch and that gives you an in-app reward when watched in full.

11. We: GO2GYM STUDIO (representative Jeonghwan Lee), the business that operates the Service. Our business information is shown in the Supplementary provisions.

3. Effect of and changes to these Terms

1. These Terms take effect when they are posted in the Service or on this page.
2. We may change these Terms as long as the change complies with applicable law.
3. We announce changes, with the effective date and the reason, at least 7 days in advance, and at least 30 days in advance for changes that are unfavourable to you.
4. If you don't agree with the changes, you can stop using the Service and delete your account.

4. Your agreement and account

1. You need an account to use the Service. Your agreement with us starts when you accept these Terms and create an account and we accept it.
2. You must be at least 14 years old, or the minimum age required in your country if that is higher.
3. If you are a minor, you need your parent's or guardian's permission to buy Arctic Pro. A purchase made without that permission may be cancelled by you or your parent or guardian as provided by law.
4. We may refuse or later end an agreement in the following cases:
   • Someone else's identity or account was used
   • The applicant has previously violated the law or these Terms

5. What the Service provides

1. We provide:
   • A focus timer (10–180 minutes) with pause
   • Rewards for completed focus sessions, island decoration, and island expansion with Focus Ice
   • Focus statistics
   • Focus sounds
   • Focus Lock (paragraph 3 of this section)
   • Focus status on your Lock Screen (Live Activity)
   • Invite codes and the seal and orca unlocks they lead to (section 10)
   • Extra rewards for watching rewarded ads (section 9)
   • The Arctic Pro paid subscription (section 12). Some features, such as to-dos, are for Arctic Pro only.
2. We may change the content, structure or form of the Service and will announce important changes in advance. Changes that reduce Arctic Pro benefits follow section 12.7.
3. Focus Lock works only if you allow Screen Time access. It locks apps during a focus session and unlocks them when the session ends or you stop it, and while the session is paused. Phone, Messages, Clock and Settings are never locked. Choosing apps to keep unlocked and saving them as presets is for Arctic Pro only. Focus Lock works only within the limits of iOS, so some apps or system functions may not be locked. The focus timer works even if you don't allow access.

6. Suspension and termination of the Service

1. We may suspend the Service temporarily for system maintenance, replacement, failures, network outages or similar reasons.
2. We announce foreseeable suspensions in advance, and unforeseeable ones afterwards.
3. If we end the Service, we will announce it at least 30 days before the end date and stop selling Arctic Pro in the App Store so that no subscription renews past that date. For any paid subscription period you can no longer use, we will tell you how to request a refund under applicable law and Apple's refund process, and help you with it.

7. Where your data is stored

1. Your focus history, island, statistics, to-dos and tags, rewards, Focus Ice and Focus Lock settings are stored only on your device.
2. There is no sync or backup between devices. If you delete the app or lose, reset or replace your device, the data stored on it can't be recovered — by you or by us.
3. Restoring purchases (section 12.8) only re-checks your Arctic Pro entitlement; it doesn't bring back data stored on a device.

8. Rewards and Focus Ice

1. Rewards are given according to the tiers shown in the app when you complete a focus session. Stopping a session early gives no reward.
2. Rewards and Focus Ice are digital items for use in the app only. They have no cash value and can't be exchanged for money or other goods or transferred to anyone else. Focus Ice can't be bought with money.
3. If a reward is given by mistake, we may tell you and correct it.

9. Rewarded ads

1. The Service shows only rewarded ads, and an ad plays only when you choose to watch it. You keep the basic reward of a focus session even if you don't watch an ad.
2. After you complete a focus session, you can watch an ad in full on the completion screen to receive that session's Focus Ice once more (double). You can receive this extra reward only once per focus session.
3. Arctic Pro subscribers receive the same extra reward on the completion screen without watching an ad.
4. The extra reward from an ad is given only after the ad provider (Google) confirms to our server that you watched the ad in full. If you didn't watch it in full or the confirmation hasn't arrived, the extra reward may not be given or may be delayed; your basic reward stays either way.
5. Sometimes no ad may be available because of the ad provider. Ads and rewards work the same whether or not you allow app tracking or give ad consent.
6. Ads are created by advertisers. Unless we are at fault intentionally or negligently, we are not responsible for transactions between you and an advertiser made through an ad.

10. Invitations

1. You can enter a friend's invite code once, when you sign up.
2. When two friends sign up with your invite code and are verified, your seal unlocks; when seven do, the orca unlocks. The invited friend receives no separate reward. The seal also unlocks after 10 hours of total focus, and the orca after your first paid Arctic Pro charge (section 12.2).
3. You must not obtain invitation rewards dishonestly, for example by creating several accounts yourself or by repeatedly deleting and re-creating an account. We may remove rewards obtained this way and restrict the account.

11. Things you must not do

You must not:

1. Use someone else's identity or account
2. Interfere with the normal operation of the Service
3. Reverse engineer the Service or access it in bulk by automated means
4. Abuse invitations as described in section 10.3
5. Obtain ad rewards dishonestly, for example by automated means or by tampering with the app or ads
6. Break the law or act against public order and morals

12. Arctic Pro subscription

1. Arctic Pro is offered as a monthly or a yearly plan. In the Korean App Store it costs KRW 4,900 per month or KRW 29,000 per year; in other countries and regions, the price shown on the purchase screen applies. The rest of the Service stays free without Arctic Pro.

2. Arctic Pro benefits are shown on the purchase screen. As of the effective date of these Terms they are:

   • The orca: unlocked after your first paid charge, not during the free trial. Once unlocked, it stays even after the subscription ends.
   • Aurora over your island
   • Double Focus Ice without ads (section 9.3)
   • To-do planning and My focus insights (including focus statistics by tag)
   • Focus Lock presets for the apps you allow
   • Unlimited custom tags

   Benefits other than the orca are available while the subscription is active. When it ends, they are no longer available or only to the extent shown in the app (for example, viewing to-dos you already wrote).

3. Payment and auto-renewal: payment is charged to your Apple Account through the Apple App Store when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically for the same period at the price then in effect unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. The renewal is charged within the 24 hours before the current period ends.

4. Free trial: both plans offer new subscribers a 7-day free trial. Apple decides eligibility, and a free trial is usually available only once. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, it converts into a paid subscription and the first payment for the plan you chose is charged when the trial ends. Whether a trial is offered, and how long it lasts, is shown on the purchase screen.

5. Cancelling: you can cancel at any time in Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions on your device, or from Manage subscription on the Arctic Pro screen in the app. After you cancel, you won't be charged from the next renewal, and Pro stays available until the end of the period you have paid for. Deleting the app or your account doesn't cancel the subscription. Switching between the monthly and yearly plans takes effect immediately or from your next renewal, according to Apple's subscription rules.

6. Withdrawal and refunds: Apple collects Arctic Pro payments, so you request withdrawal and refunds from Apple under its refund policy and applicable law, such as Korea's Act on the Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce (reportaproblem.apple.com). We can't receive or return payments ourselves or see your payment details, but nothing in these Terms limits your statutory rights of withdrawal, including any right of withdrawal in the EU or UK. If we fail to provide Pro benefits for reasons we are responsible for, we will help you with the confirmation and information you need to request a refund from Apple.

7. Changes to price and benefits: if we raise the price of Arctic Pro, we tell you in advance under Apple's process and applicable law, and ask for your agreement where the law or Apple requires it. If agreement is required and you don't give it, the subscription won't renew at the higher price. If we reduce Pro benefits, we announce it at least 30 days before it takes effect, and you can cancel before then.

8. Restoring purchases: Arctic Pro is linked to the Apple Account that bought it, not to your Arctic Habit account. On a new device, sign in with the same Apple Account and use Settings → Restore purchases in the app.

9. The App Store's terms also apply to payment conditions not covered in this section.

13. Intellectual property

1. The rights to the Service and the artwork, characters, text and sounds in it belong to us or their rightful owners. Some focus sounds are public-domain (CC0) recordings.
2. You may use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, distribute or modify all or part of the Service, or create derivative works from it, without our permission.

14. Ending the agreement and deleting your account

1. You can end this agreement at any time in the app: Settings → My account → Delete account. This isn't available while a focus session is running.
2. Deleting your account deletes your account data on our server and that account's data on the device you delete it from. It can't be undone. It doesn't cancel an Arctic Pro subscription paid through Apple; cancel it separately as described in section 12.5.
3. Some records, such as the account deletion record, are kept for the periods set out in the Privacy Policy and then deleted.
4. If you seriously breach these Terms, we may end this agreement after telling you why.

15. Apps downloaded from the App Store

1. If you downloaded the app from the Apple App Store, Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies together with these Terms.
2. Apple is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for maintaining or supporting the Service or for claims relating to it. Please contact us with any questions about the Service.

16. Liability

1. If we cause you damage intentionally or negligently, we compensate you as provided by law.
2. We are not liable for damage caused by events beyond our control, such as natural disasters, power failures or network outages.
3. We are not liable for damage caused by your own fault.
4. This section doesn't exclude our liability to the extent prohibited by Korea's Act on the Regulation of Terms and Conditions or other applicable law. In particular, it doesn't limit our liability for damage caused by our intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or for death or personal injury, or the rights that the law of your country of residence guarantees you as a consumer.

17. Disputes and governing law

1. We will try to resolve any dispute with you in good faith.
2. If a dispute can't be resolved this way, you can apply for mediation to the following Korean bodies:
   • Korea Consumer Agency, Consumer Counseling Center (1372 in Korea / www.ccn.go.kr)
   • Content Dispute Resolution Committee (1588-2594 / www.kcdrc.kr)
   • Personal Information Dispute Mediation Committee (1833-6972 / www.kopico.go.kr)
3. If a dispute goes to court, jurisdiction is determined under Article 36 of Korea's Act on the Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce and the Korean Civil Procedure Act. If you are a consumer, the district court for your address (or residence, if you have no address) when the claim is filed has jurisdiction, unless the law of your country of residence provides otherwise.
4. These Terms and your use of the Service are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea. This doesn't exclude mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence that give you more protection as a consumer.
