Terms of Service [Australia]

These Terms govern the relationship between the service operator and each member or visitor who accesses Korimio websites, applications, and connected features in Australia.

They set fair conditions for use of the Service, protect the integrity of the platform, and preserve every guarantee, remedy, or other right that cannot be excluded under Australian law.

In these Terms, undefined expressions have the meaning given by applicable law, a service-specific policy, or ordinary usage.

• Service means official reviews, user reviews, Life, Knowledge Centre, Korean learning, maps and places, Play, search, recommendations, notifications, community functions, and related websites or applications.
• Operator means the Korean service operator identified on this page and in any applicable operator-information notice.
• Member means a person who creates an account; Visitor means a person who uses public functions without an account.
• Content includes posts, reviews, answers, comments, photographs, video, panoramas, translations, maps, place information, ratings, reactions, and learning results.
• User Content means Content submitted by a Member; Operator Content means Content created by or lawfully supplied to the Operator.
• Consumer has the meaning given by the Australian Consumer Law where that law applies.

The Service is operated from the Republic of Korea under the operator name displayed above. Support, rights, and privacy enquiries may be submitted through the Service support channels or the contact method shown below.

Before a regulated paid transaction, the Operator will display the supplier identity, price, taxes, material conditions, and contact information required by applicable Australian law. No statement on this page represents that the Operator has an Australian office or entity unless expressly published.

These Australian Terms apply where the Service is directed to, contracted with, or used by a person in Australia. Service-specific policies and transaction disclosures also apply.

The parties select the law of the Republic of Korea as the general law of the contractual relationship. This choice does not exclude the Australian Consumer Law, the Privacy Act 1988 where applicable, the Online Safety Act 2021, or any other Australian Commonwealth, State, or Territory rule that applies regardless of contractual choice.

If a mandatory Australian rule conflicts with these Terms, that rule prevails only to the extent of the conflict. The remaining provisions continue to operate.

The Operator publishes these Terms in a form that can be read, saved, and printed. A Member accepts them by an affirmative account, transaction, or feature action; silence alone is not consent where affirmative consent is required.

For a materially adverse change, the Operator will normally give at least 30 days’ advance notice and explain the change and effective date. Other changes will normally receive at least 7 days’ notice. A change does not retrospectively remove an accrued right or statutory remedy.

A request to register or purchase is an offer. The contract forms when the Operator confirms acceptance or supplies the relevant Service, subject to any mandatory electronic-transaction rule.

The Operator may reject or reverse a request affected by impersonation, fraud, manifest error, technical duplication, sanctions, legal restriction, or prior material misuse. Any money taken for an unformed transaction will be returned as required by law.

A person who cannot lawfully agree to these Terms must use the Service only with the consent and supervision required by law. The Operator may apply age gates, guardian consent, restricted defaults, or disable features that create an unacceptable risk to a child.

If a Service feature is an age-restricted social media platform or otherwise subject to a statutory minimum age, the Operator will take the reasonable steps required by law to prevent Australians below that age from creating or keeping an account for that feature. A young person, parent, or guardian may report an under-age account or child-safety concern; this clause does not transfer the platform's statutory responsibility or create a penalty that the law does not impose on the young person or parent.

Members must provide accurate registration information, protect credentials and recovery answers, and promptly report suspected compromise. Credentials may not be sold, shared for abuse, or used to impersonate another person.

The Operator may require proportionate verification, invalidate sessions, rate-limit attempts, or temporarily protect an account where fraud or compromise is reasonably suspected.

The Service may provide publishing, community, translation, discovery, mapping, learning, ranking, vendor, and entertainment functions. A description on a feature page forms part of these Terms for that feature.

A free function is supplied subject to reasonable operational limits. Paid functions are supplied according to the purchase disclosure and the guarantees that apply by law.

Information about the Service will be made available in a reasonably accessible alternative format on request where required by the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 or another applicable law.

The Operator may maintain, secure, improve, replace, or discontinue a free function with reasonable notice where practicable. Emergency security, legal, or infrastructure action may be taken without advance notice.

For a paid Service, a material reduction does not remove any refund, cancellation, repair, replacement, or other remedy required by the Australian Consumer Law or the purchase terms.

A user must comply with law, these Terms, incorporated policies, reasonable security instructions, and the rights of others. The user is responsible for activity caused by the user’s own conduct or failure to take reasonable care.

A user must not misuse the Service or assist another person to do so.

• Illegal, fraudulent, deceptive, threatening, hateful, exploitative, defamatory, privacy-invasive, or sexually abusive conduct.
• Child sexual exploitation material, cyberbullying directed at an Australian child, non-consensual intimate imagery, or seriously harmful cyber-abuse material.
• Spam, malware, credential attacks, scraping that defeats controls, unauthorised automation, interference, reverse engineering where prohibited, or evasion of a safety restriction.
• Fabricated reviews, undisclosed paid endorsements, ranking manipulation, impersonation, intellectual-property infringement, or publication of another person’s sensitive location without a lawful basis.

A Member retains ownership of User Content. The Member warrants that the Content is lawful and that the Member has the permissions reasonably required for copyright, trade marks, privacy, confidential information, images of people, location information, and advertising disclosures.

The warranty is limited to matters within the Member’s knowledge or control and does not transfer ownership to the Operator.

The Member grants the Operator a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, format, encode, translate where disclosed, display, distribute, index, moderate, back up, and technically adapt User Content only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, improve, and promote the Service.

The licence ends when the Content is deleted, subject to reasonable backup cycles, legal retention, prior authorised distribution, and independent quotations or replies. It does not permit an unrelated sale of authorship.

Any consent concerning an author’s moral rights is limited to specific acts reasonably required to operate the Service; these Terms do not demand a blanket waiver that Australian law does not recognise.

The Operator may correct formatting, create thumbnails, add accessibility text, and provide disclosed translations without materially changing meaning. Material editorial changes to attributed Content require an appropriate basis and, where practicable, notice or correction tools.

Automated translation may contain errors. Users should consult the source text for safety, legal, medical, or financial decisions and may report a translation issue.

Official reviews are editorial Content prepared or commissioned under the Operator’s standards. Sponsorship, a material commercial relationship, or supplied benefits will be disclosed where required.

An official review reflects information available at publication and is not a guarantee of price, availability, safety, quality, or future performance. Correction and rights-reporting channels remain available.

User reviews express the contributor’s experience and are not the Operator’s endorsement. Reviews must be genuine, relevant, and free from undisclosed incentives or manipulation.

Businesses may respond or report a review but may not threaten, reward, or pressure a user to suppress an honest review. The Operator may label, reduce distribution of, or remove unreliable review activity after proportionate assessment.

Community functions must be used respectfully. Reactions, bookmarks, follower signals, and counters may be recalculated to remove fraud, duplication, or technical error.

A deleted comment may remain as a deletion marker so that the conversation structure and moderation record remain intelligible.

Knowledge, everyday-life, and learning materials are general information. They are not professional legal, medical, financial, immigration, safety, or emergency advice.

Learning scores and examples are educational aids rather than accredited qualifications. Users should verify important information with an authorised source.

Map boundaries, routes, timetables, opening hours, accessibility information, and place records may be delayed, approximate, or supplied by third parties. They must not be used as the sole source for navigation, emergency response, legal boundaries, or safety-critical decisions.

A user must obtain permission before publishing another person’s precise or sensitive location. Location permissions may be withdrawn through device or account settings, subject to essential processing disclosed in the Privacy Policy.

Play results, rankings, points, and badges may be corrected where affected by abuse, duplication, error, or a rule breach. Unless expressly stated in a regulated offer, they have no cash value, are not property, and cannot be transferred or redeemed.

A promotion will have separate rules stating eligibility, dates, judging or draw method, prizes, and any permit requirement. Gambling or wagering is not offered unless separately authorised and lawfully disclosed.

Advertising and sponsored Content must be identifiable where required. A vendor is responsible for the accuracy of its offer and for statutory guarantees relating to goods or services it supplies.

Where the Operator acts only as an intermediary, that role will be disclosed. Nothing in these Terms misrepresents or removes responsibility that the Operator has under the Australian Consumer Law for its own conduct or supply.

Results may consider relevance, recency, language, location, quality, safety, popularity, availability, and integrity signals. Paid placement is labelled where required and does not secretly purchase an organic score.

The Operator may explain principal ranking factors and provide correction or appeal routes for materially adverse account decisions. Privacy disclosures will be updated for substantially automated decisions when and to the extent Australian law requires.

The Service may link to or depend on hosting, maps, payments, identity, media, analytics, or vendor systems supplied by third parties. Their separate terms may apply when the user chooses them.

The Operator is responsible for its own conduct and does not exclude liability that law assigns to it, but it does not control an independent third party’s service or representations.

Users may report illegal, unsafe, infringing, misleading, privacy-invasive, or inaccurate Content through the available reporting route. A report should identify the Content, the concern, the reporter’s authority, and reliable supporting information.

The Operator may preserve evidence, restrict distribution, add a warning, request information, remove Content, or refer a matter to a competent authority. It will act proportionately and comply with valid notices under the Online Safety Act 2021 and other applicable law.

The Operator may warn, rate-limit, suspend, restrict, or terminate an account for a material or repeated breach, fraud, security risk, illegality, or serious harm. Immediate action may be taken where delay would create material risk.

Except where prohibited by law or necessary to protect an investigation, the Operator will provide a reason and an appeal route. It will consider context, severity, history, evidence, and any mandatory consumer remedy.

The Service software, design, trade marks, databases, and Operator Content are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. The user receives only a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use the Service as intended.

Nothing prevents fair dealing, criticism, review, quotation, accessibility use, interoperability, or another act that Australian law permits notwithstanding contract terms.

Personal information is handled under the Privacy Policy and, where applicable, the Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles. The Privacy Policy describes collection, purposes, disclosures, overseas recipients or locations where practicable, security, access, correction, and complaint handling.

Where the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme applies, eligible breaches likely to result in serious harm will be assessed and notified as required. Nothing authorises a serious invasion of privacy; statutory and common-law remedies remain unaffected.

Operational, security, legal, and transaction notices may be sent through the Service or verified contact details. Users must keep those details reasonably current.

Commercial electronic messages are sent only with the consent or other basis permitted by the Spam Act 2003. They will identify the sender and provide a functional unsubscribe method, and a valid unsubscribe request will be honoured within the statutory period, ordinarily no more than 5 working days. Withdrawing marketing consent does not disable essential service notices.

Before payment, the Operator or supplier will disclose the total price in the stated currency, applicable GST or other charges, billing frequency, essential conditions, and cancellation method. Optional charges are not preselected where consent is required.

Australian consumer guarantees cannot be excluded. If goods or services fail a guarantee, the consumer may be entitled to repair, replacement, refund, cancellation, compensation, or another remedy depending on whether the failure is major and on applicable law.

Australian law does not create a universal change-of-mind cooling-off right for every online purchase. Any contractual change-of-mind policy or statutory unsolicited-consumer-agreement right will be honoured as stated or required.

The Operator uses reasonable care in providing its own Service but user, map, translation, vendor, transport, and other changing information may be incomplete or out of date.

To the maximum extent lawful, non-essential free information is supplied without additional promises beyond those expressly stated. Nothing excludes a consumer guarantee, statutory warranty, or representation that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

The Operator does not exclude or limit liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability arising from fraud, wilful misconduct, or a non-excludable Australian consumer guarantee.

Where liability may lawfully be limited, the Operator is not responsible for loss that was not reasonably foreseeable, was caused by the user or an independent third party, or could reasonably have been avoided. Any permitted limitation is applied fairly, transparently, and only to the extent reasonably necessary to protect legitimate interests.

Where section 64A of the Australian Consumer Law permits a limitation for non-household goods or services, liability may be limited to the statutory forms of re-supply or the cost of re-supply, but only when reasonable and lawful.

A Member is responsible for direct loss caused by the Member’s unlawful or culpable breach to the extent proved and recoverable by law. There is no blanket indemnity for matters outside the Member’s fault or control.

The Member must reasonably assist with a third-party claim concerning that Member’s Content. The Operator retains control of its own defence and will not agree to an unreasonable settlement at the Member’s expense.

Neither party is liable for delayed performance caused by natural disaster, war, epidemic, government action, nationwide network or power failure, or a similar event beyond reasonable control, except for an obligation that law does not permit to be excluded.

The Operator will use reasonable efforts to reduce the impact and restore Service. Mandatory remedies for a paid Service remain available.

A Member may request account closure through account settings or support. Reasonable identity, security, payment, legal-retention, and active-dispute checks may be completed before final processing.

Personal information and User Content are handled under the Privacy Policy. Records required by law, security evidence, de-identified aggregates, dispute materials, and independent replies or quotations may remain on a lawful basis.

The Operator may retain records reasonably necessary to evidence agreement, consent, payment, reports, moderation, security events, and disputes for lawful retention periods.

Electronic records may be used to the extent admissible under applicable evidence and electronic-transactions law. A Member may challenge a material inaccuracy through support.

Except for mandatory Australian protections, these Terms and the general contractual relationship are governed by the law of the Republic of Korea.

The parties should first give a reasonably detailed notice and try in good faith to resolve a non-urgent dispute. This does not prevent urgent relief, a regulator complaint, a tribunal claim, or any statutory remedy.

Courts in the Republic of Korea are a non-exclusive forum. An Australian consumer may bring a claim in any Australian court or tribunal that has jurisdiction, including a forum made available by mandatory Commonwealth, State, or Territory law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies a consumer guarantee, right, remedy, or liability where sections 64 or 67 of the Australian Consumer Law or another law makes that exclusion, restriction, or modification void.

A standard-form term applies only to the extent it is transparent, reasonably necessary to protect legitimate interests, and not unfair under applicable law. If a term is invalid or unenforceable, it is limited to the minimum lawful extent and the remaining Terms continue.

These Australian Terms were announced on 1 September 2026 and take effect on 1 October 2026. Version: AU-2026-10-01-v1.

For users in Australia, this Australian English country text is the controlling text for contractual interpretation. The Korean core remains the general drafting and governing-law baseline only and does not override this text or any mandatory Australian law. Any other-language copy is informational unless expressly published as a reviewed counterpart.

This is the first country-specific Australian version, so there is no earlier Australian version to display. Future versions will remain addressable for notice, audit, and rollback.
