Apgujeong 96 Terms of Service

Document version: 2026-10-03

Effective date: the day the Service opens · Version: 2026-10-03

Article 1 Purpose

These Terms govern the rights, obligations and responsibilities of timoworks Inc. (the Company) and members using Apgujeong 96 (the Service).

Article 2 Definitions

The Service is an online platform where adult members view profiles, choose people to communicate with, exchange messages and arrange meeting dates and places.
A member is a person who has entered into a service agreement under these Terms.
A pass provides access to messaging and other paid features for the period shown before purchase.
A meeting is the feature for two members to arrange a date and place and confirm attendance. A pass pays for the Company's service, not for another member's attendance or any act by that member.

Article 3 Publication and amendments

These Terms are available to read and save before registration and throughout use, in the Service and on the website.
Amendments must comply with applicable law. The Company announces the changes, reasons and effective date at least 7 days in advance, or 30 days for adverse or material changes. Adverse or material changes are also notified individually by email or in-service notification.
Adverse changes require renewed express consent. Silence, absence or continued use alone is not consent. Changes do not adversely affect accrued rights retrospectively.
Members who decline an amendment normally retain their existing terms for the remainder of the paid period. If continued provision on those terms is impossible, including for legal compliance, the Company explains the reason individually and offers termination without a penalty and a refund for the unprovided portion under Article 10.
Additional statutory procedures apply where required. Notice or consent does not make an otherwise invalid term valid.

Article 4 Formation of the agreement

The agreement is formed when an applicant accepts these Terms, reviews the Privacy Policy, gives each separately required data consent, and the Company approves registration. Reviewing the Privacy Policy is not blanket consent to all processing.
The Company may reject applicants who do not meet the age requirement, impersonate another person, have not completed identity and age checks, submit false material or are subject to a valid re-registration restriction. Issues identified later are handled under Article 14.
An unsubstantiated report or revoked sanction alone does not justify permanent refusal. The Company explains the reason and how to correct or challenge it, except for information whose disclosure is legally prohibited or would compromise another person's safety or privacy.

Article 5 Eligibility

The minimum service age is 19. Any higher age or additional eligibility requirements under applicable law also apply. Additional information for Japanese users: In Japan the service is for people aged 18 and over. In Korea it is 19 and over.
If cross-border matching is offered, the relevant countries and age requirements are displayed before selection. Selecting a country does not replace identity or age verification.
Entry review checks that the applicant uses their own actual photograph, completes essential profile fields and passes identity and age verification. The Company does not grade appearance or ask other members to approve applicants.
Applicants may reapply after correcting a remediable issue. Repeated false submissions or system abuse may be subject to reasonable restrictions under Article 14.

Article 6 Identity and optional verification

Every member must pass identity and minimum-age checks through 신분증 등 공적 증명서 before their profile is published or they use messaging or meetings.
Before submission, conceal unnecessary national identification numbers, passport or licence numbers, address, bank details and other unnecessary information. The submission screen specifies what must remain visible and what must be masked. If essential information is concealed, resubmission may be requested.
A document is processed temporarily for human review and deleted without delay at the earliest of the decision, 24 hours after submission or account closure. If review is not completed in 24 hours, the file is deleted and resubmission instructions are given.
Employment, income and asset verification is optional and is not required for basic membership. The Company checks the job category or financial band and verification date. Names, dates of birth and amounts visible during review are temporarily processed, but legal names, full dates of birth and detailed amounts are not stored as separate fields after review. Retained data and exceptions are described in the Privacy Policy.
Verification concerns the submitted material at the time of review. It does not guarantee present assets, continuing income, ability to pay, character or safety. Only results the member consents to disclose appear on the profile. Unverified fields may be marked unverified.

Article 7 Features and service changes

Features include profile viewing, interest, messaging between matched members, meetings and attendance records. Optional features such as translation are available when offered on the relevant screen.
Members choose people and meetings themselves. No particular match, reply, number of conversations or successful meeting is guaranteed.
Material limits, including daily visibility, interest, concurrent meetings and supported environments, are shown before use or purchase. Material reductions during a paid period are subject to Articles 3 and 10.
Scheduled maintenance is announced in advance. An urgent security incident or outage may require immediate suspension, followed without delay by an explanation and recovery updates. Paid services not provided for reasons attributable to the Company are handled under Article 10.
The Company normally gives 30 days' notice before closing the Service and refunds unprovided paid periods. If legal or urgent security reasons prevent advance notice, notice is given without delay afterwards.

Article 8 Passes and purchase

Profile viewing and interest are free. A pass is required for messaging and other paid features identified before purchase.
Passes cannot buy ranking advantages, verification results, attendance ratings or another member's contact details.
Passes are purchased through App Store in-app purchase. The product, service period, tax-inclusive total in the relevant currency, renewal interval, expected next billing date, cancellation and refund conditions are displayed immediately before purchase. The Company does not receive or retain card numbers.
A pass is activated after purchase verification. If payment succeeds but activation fails, Support can assist with restoration or a refund. Prices are not increased retrospectively for a paid period.

Article 9 Automatic renewal and cancelling renewal

An automatically renewing pass renews for the period and amount displayed before purchase until cancelled. No minimum number of renewals applies unless separately specified.
The Company notifies members of the expected renewal date and amount 3 days in advance. Price increases or a transition from free to paid use follow applicable legal and App Store advance-notice and consent procedures.
Cancel renewal through the Service's subscription management menu or iPhone Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions. Follow the deadline shown by the App Store and cancel before the next renewal. Apple's rules may require cancellation of a free or discounted trial at least 24 hours before it ends.
Cancelling renewal alone preserves access until the end of the paid period. Immediate termination and a refund can be requested separately under Article 10.
Deleting the app, signing out or closing an account does not itself cancel an App Store subscription. The Company explains this and provides the subscription management route before account closure. An active subscription does not itself prevent account closure.

Article 10 Withdrawal termination and refunds

The Company is responsible for refunds required by applicable law and these Terms as the provider of the paid service. Apple processes repayments through its payment system, but Apple's decision does not extinguish the Company's legal obligations.
A member may request withdrawal within 7 days after receiving the contract information, or from the later start of supply. An unused paid service is refunded in full. Where Korean electronic-commerce law applies, restrictions following commencement apply only if the statutory notice and other conditions are met; unprovided divisible portions and statutory rights remain protected.
A member may terminate during the paid period. No separate early-termination penalty applies. The refund is the actual pass price divided by the number of days in that paid period, multiplied by the unprovided days. The request date counts as unprovided; provided days end on the previous date. The price is not recalculated at an undiscounted rate merely because of partial use.
Misdescription, nonconforming supply and non-supply carry applicable statutory withdrawal, termination and damages rights. Under Korean electronic-commerce law, withdrawal for nonconformity may be made within 3 months after supply and within 30 days after the member knew or could have known of it. More favorable statutory rights prevail.
Periods unavailable for reasons attributable to the Company are not deducted. Extensions or credits do not replace a refund without consent. Sanctions do not automatically forfeit the unused balance; any damages claim is handled separately under law.
Request a refund through Support at contact@timo.work or the in-service refund menu. App Store purchases can also be submitted through Apple Report a Problem. The date of receipt by the Company determines whether a right was exercised in time. Unnecessary evidence is not required.
Amounts owed are repaid within the applicable statutory period and from its prescribed starting point. Where Korean electronic-commerce refund rules apply, the 3-business-day statutory period is observed. The Company promptly requests the necessary App Store cancellation or repayment and explains progress. Payment-method delays or App Store procedures do not themselves exempt it from legal responsibility.
If an App Store limitation, such as lack of partial-refund support, prevents performance, the Company agrees a lawful alternative repayment method with the member. Any additional minimum payment data and retention period are explained separately. Duplicate repayments are reconciled; cash refunds are not unilaterally replaced with credits.
Access is ended or adjusted to match the termination or refund. The absence of a general cooling-off regime for Japanese mail-order transactions does not remove the contractual refund rights in this Article or other mandatory rights.

Article 11 Meetings and attendance

Meetings process dates, places and attendance confirmation. They are not a feature for negotiating or paying money, gifts or any other consideration in return for a meeting.
The Company does not broker or settle consideration between members. Monetary statements contained in a message or report may nevertheless be stored and reviewed under the Privacy Policy.
Public attendance statistics reflect results confirmed by both members. A single response or disagreement does not establish non-attendance. Response and cancellation records are retained as described in the Privacy Policy.
Illness, accidents, natural disasters, cancellation by the other person and safety-related cancellation are not counted as non-attendance. Cancellation within 24 hours of a proposal is also excluded from non-attendance statistics.
Members may ask Support to correct errors, false confirmations or safety-related exceptions. The Company checks evidence, corrects the record where justified and explains why. It does not otherwise manipulate statistics.

Article 12 Prohibited conduct

Members must not:

Use the Service below its age requirement or induce or exploit a minor.
Engage in prostitution, procuring, solicitation or inducement, or propose, request or negotiate money, gifts or any other consideration in exchange for sexual activity.
Propose or negotiate consideration for a meeting or request or induce money, investment or transfers from another member under any pretext.
Move others to an external messenger, site or payment method to continue prohibited conduct. Conduct connected to the Service may remain grounds for action when continued outside it.
Impersonate others, misuse their photographs or identity, submit false documents or register fraudulently.
Send unwanted sexual messages, harass, threaten, stalk, defraud, abuse discriminatorily, or create, send or publish unlawful sexual recordings or child sexual abuse material.
Collect, save or disseminate another member's photographs, messages or personal data without permission, except for the minimum evidence reasonably needed for reporting harm, pursuing rights or complying with law.
Use the Service for commercial promotion, religious solicitation or unrelated purposes; transfer or lend accounts; scrape, automate without permission or attack the system.

Article 13 Content and photograph access

Rights in member content remain with the member or the lawful rights holder.
The member grants a non-exclusive licence limited to storage, transmission, display, necessary format changes and report handling for the Service, for the necessary period. It does not include advertising, promotion, sale or separate AI model training.
Private photographs are shown only to recipients individually permitted by the member. Revoking permission stops future in-service access. Separate captures or copies already made cannot be fully recovered. This warning does not waive the Company's security duties or liability for its own fault.
Infringement reports are addressed through removal or access restrictions and objections by legitimate rights holders, as required by law.

Article 14 Safety measures and appeals

Depending on severity, repetition and risk, the Company may warn, restrict content or features, suspend or terminate. For ordinary measures, the reason, duration and appeal route are notified in advance.
Where there are reasonable grounds for an urgent risk involving minors, exploitation, fraud or account compromise, necessary features may be restricted pending verification. The Company promptly explains and reviews the measure afterwards. An unverified report is not recorded as a proven violation.
The Company targets a first response within 4 hours and an initial review within 24 hours. If further investigation is needed, it explains the delay and progress. These targets do not promise final resolution of every case within 24 hours.
Both the reporter and affected member are informed to the extent appropriate to each. Other persons' data, victim identities and protected investigative details are not disclosed.
Members may request reconsideration through Support. The Company promptly accepts the request and normally provides a result or a reason and timetable for further review within 7 days. Erroneous restrictions and records are corrected.
Evidence preservation and cooperation with authorities require a lawful basis and must remain necessary and proportionate. The Privacy Policy specifies scope and retention.

Article 15 Account closure

Members may close an account through the Service or Support at any time, subject only to necessary minimum identity verification.
Profile visibility and login access stop immediately and pending meetings are cancelled. Profiles, photographs and pending verification files are deleted without delay.
Conversations, meetings and incident records may be retained only for the purposes and periods in the Privacy Policy. Removing a profile link does not anonymize text that can still identify someone.
Renewal cancellation and refunds follow Articles 9 and 10. Refund and privacy requests remain available after closure.
A restriction following a confirmed serious violation has a stated reason and duration and an appeal route. Minimum identifying data is kept within the Privacy Policy's limits.

Article 16 Company obligations and liability

The Company provides the contracted service and performs its legal privacy, safety and report-handling obligations.
Mutual interest, communication and meeting outcomes are not guaranteed. Member information and verification have the limitations in Article 6. These limitations do not waive liability for the Company's intentional or negligent conduct or liability under mandatory law.
The Company cannot control every external act but accepts and reviews service-related harm reports and takes necessary restrictions and lawful cooperation measures. It does not adjudicate or enforce liability between members without legal authority.
Liability for force majeure or a member's fault is limited only to the extent that the Company is not responsible. A carrier or processor outage does not automatically excuse the Company. Article 10 and mandatory law govern refunds and statutory responsibility.

Article 17 Governing law and disputes

Korean law governs these Terms, without excluding mandatory consumer protections or private-international-law safeguards applicable through a member's habitual residence or otherwise.
Members may discuss a dispute with Support or directly use consumer dispute resolution or competent courts. Prior negotiation is not mandatory.
Jurisdiction follows applicable law; members are not forced into exclusive jurisdiction at the Company's location. Korean Consumer Dispute Resolution Standards are used within their lawful scope.
Language versions are intended to have the same meaning. Differences are interpreted in light of the language presented at contracting, the agreement's purpose and mandatory law, and do not diminish statutory rights.
