Korimio Terms of Service — Canada

These Terms govern access to and use of the websites, applications, and connected features operated under the Service name and define the rights and responsibilities of the Operator, Members, and Visitors.

They are designed to support a safe and reliable service while preserving consumer, privacy, child-protection, electronic-commerce, platform, and procedural rights that applicable mandatory law does not permit the parties to waive.

Capitalised terms have the meanings below. A term not defined here has the meaning given by an incorporated policy, a feature-specific notice, applicable law, or ordinary usage.

• Service means official reviews, user reviews, Life, Knowledge Center, Korean learning, maps and places, Play, search, recommendations, notifications, community features, and related websites or applications.
• Operator means the Korean service operator identified in the applicable country document and verified operator-information notice.
• Member means a person who creates an account; Visitor means a person who uses a public feature without an account.
• Content includes posts, reviews, answers, comments, photographs, video, translations, maps, place information, ratings, reactions, learning results, and similar material.
• User Content means Content submitted by a Member or Visitor; Operator Content means Content created by or lawfully supplied to the Operator.
• Policies means the Privacy Notice, community standards, feature rules, transaction disclosures, and other notices expressly incorporated into these Terms.

The Service is operated from the Republic of Korea by the legal operator identified in the applicable country page and verified operator-information notice. Support, privacy, rights, and complaint channels are provided through the Service.

Before a regulated or paid service is offered, the Operator will disclose every identity, physical or service address, registration, tax, pricing, and contact fact required by applicable law. No local office, entity, licence, or representative exists merely because a country draft has been prepared.

Before a Canadian distance transaction, the merchant and transaction details required by the applicable province or territory must be displayed accurately. For an in-scope Québec distance contract this includes the merchant’s name, physical address, telephone number, technological address, detailed description, itemised price and charges, performance or delivery information, cancellation terms, and a retainable contract copy.

These Terms apply together with the reviewed country profile, service-specific terms, transaction disclosures, and incorporated Policies relevant to the user and feature.

The parties select the law of the Republic of Korea as the general law governing their contractual relationship. That choice does not deprive a person of non-waivable protections that apply because of habitual residence, service targeting, transaction, data processing, or another mandatory connecting factor.

A mandatory local rule prevails only to the extent of an actual conflict. The remaining provisions continue to operate, and the Operator does not claim that Korean law always overrides foreign mandatory law.

Canadian consumer, privacy, language, marketing, accessibility, and court protections apply according to the relevant federal, provincial, or territorial connecting rules. In particular, the Korean-law selection is inoperative for an applicable Québec consumer contract to the extent section 19 of the Québec Consumer Protection Act prohibits a term selecting law other than legislation of Canada or Québec.

The Operator publishes these Terms in a form that can be reviewed and retained. The applicable version, announcement date, effective date, language status, and previous-version route are shown with the country document.

A material adverse amendment receives reasonable advance notice and any affirmative consent required by law. Silence or continued use does not replace express consent where the law requires it, and an amendment does not retrospectively remove an accrued mandatory right.

For a Québec contract predetermined by the Operator, the contract and related documents must be drawn up in French. A user may be bound by an English version only after the French version has been remitted and the user has expressly wished to be bound in English, subject to the precise statutory exceptions. English-only presentation is a publication blocker, not a language fallback.

A contract is formed when the user receives the required information, takes the requested affirmative acceptance action, submits a valid registration or transaction request, and the Operator accepts it or supplies the relevant Service.

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

Electronic records, signatures, and notices may be used when valid under the law that applies to the transaction. A user should retain important contractual and transaction records.

Electronic acceptance must preserve the pre-contract information, correction opportunity, consent evidence, and retainable copy required by the applicable province or territory. A click does not waive a statutory disclosure or cancellation remedy.

A person who cannot lawfully agree to these Terms must use the Service only with the consent, involvement, and supervision required from a parent or legal guardian. A feature subject to a statutory minimum age may apply an age gate or refuse registration.

Child-directed processing, profiling, marketing, location use, and publication require heightened safeguards and any verifiable parental authorisation mandated by law. The Operator may restrict an account or remove information to protect a child, without shifting the Operator's statutory duties to the child or parent.

Where consent is relied on under PIPEDA or applicable provincial privacy law, the consent must be meaningful to the individual’s maturity and the sensitivity and consequences of processing. If a child cannot meaningfully consent, parent or guardian authorisation and child-appropriate explanation are required; this draft does not invent one nationwide contractual age.

Members must provide accurate information, protect passwords, passkeys, sessions, recovery methods, and authentication devices, and promptly report suspected compromise.

The Operator may require proportionate reauthentication, terminate sessions, reset credentials, rate-limit attempts, or temporarily restrict high-risk activity. A Member is responsible only for loss lawfully attributable to that Member's fault and causation.

The Service may include publishing, reviews, community interaction, translation, discovery, mapping, learning, rankings, vendors, notifications, and entertainment features. A feature page may state additional eligibility, device, location, permission, or account requirements.

Beta and free features may have limited availability. Paid features are supplied under the pre-contract information, service level, and mandatory guarantees applicable to the purchase.

The Operator may maintain, secure, improve, replace, or discontinue a free feature for legal, technical, security, dependency, or operational reasons and will give reasonable notice of a foreseeable material discontinuation.

Emergency action may be taken without advance notice where delay would materially increase an outage, security incident, unlawful use, disaster, or safety risk. A paid feature retains every refund, substitute performance, cancellation, or other remedy required by law.

Users must comply with law, these Terms, incorporated Policies, and reasonable security or feature instructions, and must respect the rights and safety of others.

A user must verify submitted information and obtain permissions required for copyright, trade marks, privacy, publicity, confidential information, location information, and commercial disclosures.

A user must not misuse the Service or assist another person to do so, including through the following conduct:

• Illegal, fraudulent, deceptive, threatening, exploitative, defamatory, privacy-invasive, discriminatory, or seriously unsafe conduct.
• Identity misuse, impersonation, account trafficking, sanction evasion, credential attacks, unauthorised access, malware, injection, or security-control bypass.
• Spam, scams, unauthorised scraping or automation, unreasonable load, manipulated requests, fake engagement, ranking abuse, or coordinated inauthentic behaviour.
• Fabricated reviews, undisclosed paid endorsements, insider reviews presented as independent, or pressure intended to suppress a lawful negative review.
• Copyright, trade mark, publicity, privacy, confidential-information, or other rights infringement.
• Unauthorised collection, disclosure, sale, or tracking of sensitive, financial, health, child, or precise-location information.

Users retain ownership of User Content. These Terms do not transfer authorship or ownership to the Operator.

A user represents that the user may lawfully submit the Content and has obtained permissions required for included works, people, personal information, locations, brands, and commercial claims. The user remains responsible for unlawful Content to the extent of fault, causation, and legally recoverable harm.

By submitting User Content, the user grants the Operator a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, transmit, format, display, and distribute it only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, improve, and promote the Service within the user-selected visibility.

The licence includes accessibility conversion, device optimisation, thumbnails, search indexing, disclosed translation, recommendations, backups, moderation, and rights enforcement. It does not permit an unrelated stand-alone sale of the Content or a blanket waiver of moral rights.

The licence generally ends after deletion and a reasonable backup period, subject to lawful retention, dispute preservation, prior authorised distribution, and copies independently shared by others.

The Operator may make formatting, spelling, accessibility, safety-presentation, and technical adjustments that do not materially distort meaning. A material editorial change requires authorisation or a clearly stated legal or moderation basis.

Automated or model-assisted translations and summaries may contain errors. The identified source controls unless a reviewed translation is expressly designated as controlling, and users may report a material translation error.

Official Reviews are Operator Content produced or reviewed under editorial standards. Prices, hours, menus, availability, rules, transport, and local conditions may change after verification.

Sponsorship, affiliate relationships, free products, payment, or another material connection will be disclosed where required. An Official Review is information and opinion, not a guarantee of safety, quality, availability, or transaction outcome.

A review, endorsement, price claim, environmental claim, performance claim, or disclosure must not create a materially false or misleading general impression under the Competition Act. Material relationships and incentives must be conspicuous rather than cured by inconspicuous fine print.

User Reviews express the author's experience or opinion and are not the Operator's official position. They must be genuine, relevant, and free from unlawful manipulation or undisclosed material incentives.

The Operator may investigate authenticity, duplication, coordinated behaviour, and credible reports, but a lawful review is not removed merely because it is negative. Businesses may respond or report but may not coerce suppression of an honest review.

The Operator may act against fabricated or commercially manipulated reviews and undisclosed insider or incentivised reviews. Legitimate independent opinion remains protected, and moderation will not falsely represent the origin, independence, or general impression of review activity.

Comments, answers, questions, reactions, follows, and bookmarks are subject to the same legal and community standards as other Content. Counts may be deduplicated or corrected for error, fraud, or manipulation.

The Operator may restrict clear spam, malicious links, impersonation, automation, or safety threats. Legitimate criticism, questions, learning repetition, and ordinary activity are not prohibited merely because they are frequent or unfavourable.

Knowledge Center answers and Life posts provide general information and personal experience and do not replace licensed medical, legal, tax, financial, immigration, emergency, or other professional advice.

Lessons, handwriting feedback, quizzes, progress, and scores are educational aids and do not guarantee an examination, fluency, employment, admission, or other result. Important decisions should be checked with a qualified professional or public authority.

Ordinary language-learning aids are not represented as a Canadian degree, regulated credential, professional qualification, or accredited programme. Before offering a certificate, degree pathway, regulated tutoring service, or claim of governmental or institutional recognition, the applicable federal, provincial, and territorial education and consumer rules must be classified and satisfied.

Maps, boundaries, places, roads, waterways, transport, distances, and coordinates may combine public, licensed, processed, and user-reported data and may be delayed, approximate, incomplete, or outdated.

The Service is not an authoritative source for legal boundaries, surveying, property title, safety-critical navigation, rescue, or disaster response. Users must check official maps, carriers, authorities, signs, and current conditions.

Location and precise-location data are handled under the applicable Canadian privacy regime, and map, place-name, boundary, route, and review datasets require valid rights and accurate source and limitation disclosures. No map is represented as an official boundary, survey, title, emergency, or safety-navigation product without the competent authority and product review required for that claim.

Games, seasons, rankings, scores, badges, achievements, and rewards operate under feature rules. Records affected by error, fraud, automation, collusion, account sharing, or exploit use may be corrected.

Unless a lawful regulated offer expressly states otherwise, points and badges have no cash value, are not currency or property, and cannot be transferred, sold, or redeemed. Paid or promotional features require separate price, eligibility, duration, cancellation, and reward disclosures.

Before a contest, lottery, game of chance or skill, prize, draw, redeemable point, or other promotional benefit is offered in Canada, its criminal, Competition Act, provincial gaming, consumer, tax, and language classification must be completed. Where section 74.06 of the Competition Act applies, prize number and approximate value, allocation area, material odds information, timely distribution, and skill or random selection must be fairly disclosed and administered.

Displaying a restaurant, lodging, seller, advertiser, or booking link does not make the Operator a party to the transaction unless the Operator clearly states otherwise. The third party remains responsible for its price, inventory, delivery, quality, warranties, and refunds.

Advertising, sponsored placement, and affiliate relationships will be identifiable as required. The Operator remains responsible for its own representations, conduct, and intermediary duties that law assigns to it.

No vendor, payment, reward, data, software, technology, or other transaction will be processed where an applicable Canadian sanctions order, regulation, export control, permit requirement, designated-person rule, destination restriction, or end-use restriction prohibits it. The precise Canadian and Korean nexus, current lists, item classification, recipient, and end use must be verified before an affected feature launches.

Results may reflect relevance, recency, quality, language, settings, location, integrity, safety, popularity, and availability and need not be complete, neutral, or identical for every user.

The Operator may change ranking systems and protect details whose disclosure would enable manipulation or create security risk. Material sponsored placement will be distinguished, and principal-factor or appeal disclosures will be provided where law requires them.

The Service may depend on external hosting, login, payment, storage, maps, media, notifications, analytics, or other providers. Their terms and privacy notices may apply to a user's direct relationship with them.

The Operator does not control an independent provider's acts or availability but remains responsible for its own selection, integration, instruction, security, and oversight to the extent required by law.

A person may report illegal, unsafe, infringing, deceptive, privacy-invasive, or materially inaccurate Content through the available route and should identify the Content, legal or policy basis, authority, and reliable supporting information.

The Operator may preserve evidence, label, limit distribution, temporarily disable, remove, restore, or report Content after a proportionate review. Where compatible with law and safety, the affected person receives a reason and a route to challenge the decision.

Where Korimio falls within the Canadian Copyright Act notice-and-notice provisions for a relevant network, storage, or information-location role, a compliant notice will be handled, forwarded, and supported by the required records. The Canadian process is not represented as an automatic takedown rule, and statutory conditions and lawful-expression safeguards remain applicable.

The Operator may warn, rate-limit, restrict, suspend, or terminate an account for a material or repeated breach, illegality, fraud, security risk, or serious harm, considering context, severity, repetition, history, and evidence.

Urgent action may precede notice where delay creates material risk. Except where prohibited by law or necessary to protect an investigation, the Operator will provide a reason and an appeal channel, without restricting regulator or court remedies.

The Service software, design, trade marks, databases, Operator Content, and other assets are protected by law and remain owned by the Operator or licensors. Service access grants only the limited right needed to use the Service as intended.

Unauthorised copying, sale, sublicensing, systematic extraction, circumvention, or creation of a substitute service is prohibited, subject to any non-waivable exception for quotation, criticism, accessibility, interoperability, research, or other lawful use.

Copyright and trade mark protection does not authorise Korimio or a user to appropriate another person’s protected work, mark, reputation, name, image, likeness, or voice. Québec Civil Code articles 35–36 and the applicable law elsewhere in Canada remain available, and consent, legitimate-public-information, parody, criticism, and other defences or exceptions are assessed under the law that actually applies.

Personal information is handled under a separately reviewed exact-country Privacy Notice. It identifies the controller, data categories, purposes, lawful grounds, recipients and processors, transfers, retention, rights, security, complaint channel, and any representative required by law.

Sensitive, child, biometric, health, financial, and precise-location information receives safeguards proportionate to risk. Acceptance of these Terms never substitutes for separate consent or authorisation where law requires it, and a generic or foreign-locale privacy page is not treated as an approved country notice.

Where PIPEDA applies, processing must follow accountability, identified purposes, valid and meaningful consent or another lawful exception, collection limitation, limiting use and retention, accuracy, safeguards, openness, individual access, and challenge procedures. Breaches of security safeguards are assessed, recorded, and notified to affected individuals and the Privacy Commissioner where the statutory real-risk-of-significant-harm threshold is met.

Substantially similar provincial private-sector laws may apply instead of or alongside PIPEDA. Québec processing must also satisfy its private-sector privacy law, including governance, privacy impact assessment, confidentiality-incident, consent, individual-rights, automated-decision, and cross-border assessment duties where triggered by actual processing.

Operational, security, legal, and transaction notices may be sent through the Service or verified contact details and will be retainable where law requires. Users should keep those details reasonably current.

Marketing email, messages, and push notifications require the consent or other basis required by applicable law, identify the sender, and provide a simple withdrawal method. Marketing withdrawal does not disable essential contractual or security notices.

A commercial electronic message with a Canadian connection will be sent only with the express or legally recognised implied consent required by Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation, will identify the sender and contact information, and will contain a working, readily performed unsubscribe mechanism. Withdrawal requests will be implemented within the statutory period, no later than 10 business days where that rule applies, and consent evidence will be retained lawfully.

Before charging, the supplier will disclose its identity, main characteristics, total price and charges, duration, renewal, payment, performance, cancellation, statutory withdrawal, refund, complaint route, and applicable exceptions in a clear retainable form.

A mandatory withdrawal, conformity, warranty, refund, repair, replacement, price-reduction, or termination right is not reduced by these Terms. Immediate digital performance that affects a withdrawal right requires the separate request, consent, acknowledgement, and copy required by law.

Cancellation and refund rights vary by province, territory, transaction type, and disclosure compliance; this draft does not create or deny a universal Canadian cooling-off period. For an in-scope Québec distance contract, failures in the prescribed disclosure, acceptance, correction, contract-copy, or performance process preserve the statutory cancellation and chargeback-related remedies.

The Operator uses reasonable care in providing its own Service, but User Content, translations, maps, schedules, prices, and changing third-party information may contain error or become outdated.

To the extent lawful, the Service does not guarantee a commercial, educational, travel, medical, financial, or other outcome. No mandatory guarantee, conformity duty, remedy, or duty of reasonable care is excluded.

The Operator is responsible for direct loss caused by its intent or fault to the extent required by law. A lawful limitation applies only to indirect or unforeseeable loss outside an essential obligation and only where fair, transparent, and proportionate.

Nothing excludes or limits liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence where protected, death or bodily injury, privacy or security breach, paid-service obligations, statutory consumer liability, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

No limitation excludes a statutory consumer remedy, privacy responsibility, deceptive-marketing liability, or other responsibility that applicable Canadian law makes non-waivable. A province-specific unfair, unconscionable, or prohibited clause is limited or disregarded to the necessary extent.

A Member is responsible for legally recoverable harm caused by the Member's intentional or negligent breach where causation is proved. The Member does not give an unlimited indemnity or assume risk unrelated to the Member's conduct.

Users and third parties should ordinarily resolve their own transaction or Content dispute. The Operator may preserve evidence and take lawful safety measures without thereby becoming a party to the underlying transaction.

Neither party is liable for delayed or failed performance caused by an unforeseeable or unavoidable event beyond reasonable control, including disaster, war, government action, widespread network or power failure, or critical infrastructure failure.

The affected party will use reasonable efforts to reduce harm, restore performance, and communicate material effects. This Article does not remove a refund, restitution, data-protection, or other obligation that remains mandatory despite the event.

A Member may request account closure through the offered process. The Operator may complete proportionate authentication, security, payment, legal-retention, and active-dispute checks before an irreversible action.

After closure, data is deleted, anonymised, or retained only for a lawful purpose and period, including fraud prevention, accounting, security, claim defence, and backup cycles. Account closure does not by itself exercise a statutory right to cancel a separate purchase.

Within lawful limits, the Operator may retain records of acceptance, versions, notices, authentication, publication, moderation, payment, and communications to operate, audit, secure, and resolve disputes.

Electronic records have the validity and evidential weight assigned by applicable law. A person may request access to or correction of a relevant record where law provides that right.

The law of the Republic of Korea generally governs the contractual relationship. The parties should first attempt resolution through support or another available complaint procedure, without delaying urgent relief or a statutory deadline.

Courts in the Republic of Korea are an ordinary, non-exclusive forum to the extent lawful. This choice does not deprive a consumer of a mandatory regulator complaint, alternative dispute process, collective remedy, or competent court in the consumer's habitual-residence country.

Canadian users may complain to the competent federal, provincial, or territorial regulator and may use any non-waivable local court, tribunal, class, or collective remedy. Korean courts are not an exclusive forum, and an applicable Québec consumer dispute is not displaced by the foreign-law language in this draft.

If a provision conflicts with applicable mandatory law, it is disapplied or limited only to the minimum extent necessary. The remaining Terms continue, and the affected provision is interpreted as closely as lawful to its legitimate purpose.

The Korean-law choice does not remove non-waivable consumer, privacy, child-protection, electronic-commerce, advertising, platform, accessibility, procedure, jurisdiction, or language rights applicable in the user's country.

A mandatory Canadian federal, provincial, or territorial rule controls to the extent of conflict. Nothing in this profile contracts out of PIPEDA or applicable provincial privacy law, consumer protections, Québec French-language rights, the Competition Act, Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation, or mandatory jurisdiction and remedies.

The country profile states its version, announcement date, effective date, language status, and local additions. A prior country version remains addressable when one exists.

Country additions form part of these Terms only within their legal scope. Internal drafting, technical implementation, or publication does not constitute certification by independent local counsel.

Internal draft based on official sources accessed 1 September 2026. Publication is blocked until the reviewed French Canadian counterpart, exact-country privacy material, verified operator facts, province-specific product assessment, and Canadian counsel approval are complete.
