Pathpin Terms of Use
Effective: November 10, 2026 · This is the English version of the terms of use for Pathpin (called 픽루트, PicRoute, in Korea). It is a translation of the Korean terms (픽루트 이용약관). If the two versions ever differ, the Korean version prevails, unless the law of your country provides otherwise (Article 20). If you live outside the Republic of Korea, please also read Article 21.
Notice of amendment — These terms apply from
November 10, 2026. Through November 9, 2026, the previous terms (effective November 2, 2026,
in Korean) apply.
Reason: we added two features to the trail map —
"Save the trail map for this route" (saving the trail map around a planned route, imported or drawn yourself, on your phone in advance) and
"Draw route" (drawing a planned route yourself on the map). Article 15 now states that when you use these two features,
map areas are passed to Tracestrack, and Article 8 states that
"Draw route" is always free, while saving the trail map in advance is a subscription feature once the free trial ends.
Nothing in this amendment reduces users' rights or adds to their obligations with respect to features they were already using, and the new sentences apply only when you use the new features.What changed — comparison table (in Korean)
Key points
- Pathpin has no sign-up, no login and no company server. Your records are stored on your phone; we cannot see them or restore them for you.
- You can use every feature free of charge until the end of the 3rd day, counting the day you first open the app as day 1. We do not collect payment details, and nothing is charged automatically when the trial ends.
- If you do not subscribe after the trial, you cannot start a new trip, continue a trip, add photos to existing records, or save the trail map in advance. Viewing, editing (title, memo, pin location), exporting (including photo bundles) and deleting the records you have already made, importing files you have received, and using "Draw route" are always free.
- Subscriptions (1 month KRW 5,900 · 6 months KRW 29,000 · 1 year KRW 49,000 in Korea; elsewhere, the local price shown in your app store) renew automatically for the same period until you cancel. You cancel in your app store's subscription settings. If you live outside the Republic of Korea, see also Article 21.
If you want to stop a subscription — three different things
| What you want | What happens |
| Stop the next payment (cancel) | You can do this at any time in your app store's subscription settings. You can use the period you have already paid for until it ends; that payment is not refunded. If you live outside the Republic of Korea, see also Article 21(6). → Article 10 |
| Undo a payment (withdrawal) | Under Korean law, withdrawal can normally be made within 7 days of receiving the contract details, but because a subscription opens its features as soon as you pay, withdrawal is restricted once provision has started, both for the first payment and for automatic renewals. Instead, you get a 3-day free trial before paying. The restriction does not apply where you could not use the features because of our fault, where the Service differs from how it was described, or for any part whose provision has not yet started (for that part only). In the EU/EEA and the UK, the rules on the 14-day right of withdrawal in Article 21(3) apply instead. → Article 11 |
| Stop partway and get back the fee for the rest of the period (refund on early termination) | Not offered. Please keep this in mind when choosing a 6-month or 1-year subscription. Exceptions are refunds where we are at fault, the refunds these terms provide for (Article 12(1)), and refunds the law requires. If you live outside the Republic of Korea, see also Article 21(6). → Article 10 · Article 12 |
Article 1 (Purpose)
These terms set out the rights, obligations and responsibilities of WATSI ("the Company", "we") and users regarding the use of the mobile application Pathpin (called 픽루트, PicRoute, in Korea) ("the Service").
Article 2 (Definitions)
- (1) "Service" means the application the Company provides so that you can take photos on site (or add photos from your albums) or pick points on a map, record the location, time and memo, record the path you walk, and export them as files or import files you have received to view them.
- (2) "User" ("you") means a person who uses the Service under these terms.
- (3) "Records" means the location coordinates, times, titles and memos, photo link information (the number and file name pointing to a photo in your gallery) and walked tracks you create with the Service, the points and routes read from files you import, and information attached to them. In the app, each recorded point is called an "entry".
- (4) A "trip" is the unit that groups records (for example, one day of fieldwork). "Continue a trip" is the feature that reopens a trip you have already ended to add records to it.
- (5) "App store" means the place where you download and pay for the Service, such as Google Play or the Apple App Store.
- (6) "Subscription" means a paid, fixed-term right of use that is purchased through an app store and renews automatically.
- (7) "Free trial" means the period under Article 7 during which you can use every feature without paying.
Article 3 (Publication and amendment of the terms)
- (1) The Company publishes these terms on the terms web page, and you can save or print them. On request, we will send you a copy of the terms by email or other means. In versions of the Service that include the terms link, you can also view these terms in the "Settings" screen, and, from versions that include the subscription feature, on the subscription screen.
- (2) The Company may amend these terms within the limits of applicable law.
- (3) When amending these terms, the Company posts the effective date, the reason for the amendment and a table comparing the old and new wording on the terms web page together with the current terms, from 7 days before the effective date until 30 days after it. Amendments unfavorable to users are posted from 30 days before the effective date. The Company also announces the amendment inside the app in any app update released during that period, and in the update notes in the app stores.
- (4) For amendments unfavorable to users, the Company states separately and clearly on the terms web page and in the in-app notice that "if you do not object by the effective date, you will be deemed to have agreed to the amended terms." To object, please tell us by email before the effective date. If you did not receive the update containing the in-app notice and so did not see it, the previous terms apply to you until 30 days have passed from the day you first see the notice. If you object, you may terminate your subscription, and in that case the Company will, at your request, refund the fee for the remaining period of use (calculated as in Article 12(6)).
Article 4 (What the Service provides)
- (1) The Company provides the following:
- Recording location coordinates, time, sequence number, title and memo together with a photo you take (or pick from your albums), or at a point you pick on the map
- Viewing records on a map (the standard and satellite maps and, where the Company provides it, the trail map) and correcting their positions
- Recording the path you walk while walk recording is on
- Exporting records as KML, GPX or CSV files (or a ZIP containing them), and exporting a trip's photos as they are in a ZIP file ("photo bundle")
- Importing KML, GPX or CSV files (or a ZIP containing them) you have received and viewing them as trips
- Drawing a planned route yourself on the map ("Draw route"), and saving the trail map around a planned route (imported or drawn yourself) on your phone in advance ("saving the trail map in advance"; in the Service, "Save the trail map for this route")
- Other features the Company adds
- (2) The Company does not create user accounts; there is no sign-up or login.
- (3) The Company may add or change features to improve the Service. However, if it removes or substantially reduces a major feature provided under the subscription, it gives notice on the terms web page and in the app 30 days in advance and, if you wish, refunds the fee for the remaining period of use (calculated as in Article 12(6)).
Article 5 (Storage of records and responsibility)
- (1) Your records are stored on your phone and are not sent to any server of the Company. The Company runs no server and does not receive or keep your photos, location coordinates, memos or walked tracks.
- (2) Therefore the Company cannot access your records and cannot restore them for you. If records are lost because the phone is lost, broken or reset, the app is deleted, or through your own actions, the Company cannot recover them.
- (3) Please keep important records separately using the Service's export feature.
- (4) The Service is set to allow the phone's operating system to back up the app. If your phone's backup is on, your records may be backed up to your own account. On Android, if Google backup is on and the app data is within the backup limit, they may be restored when you reinstall the app; on iPhone, they may be restored when you restore the whole phone from an iCloud backup (reinstalling only the app does not restore them). This backup takes place between you and the operating-system provider, and the Company cannot see what is backed up. You can turn backup off in your phone's settings.
- (5) The rights to your records belong to you, and the Company claims no rights over them.
Article 6 (Outside services)
- (1) To work, the Service communicates with the following outside services. No server of the Company is involved in this communication, and the details are governed by the Privacy Policy.
- Map display: Google Maps. If you choose the trail map, trail-map images come from Tracestrack (the Netherlands), and on iPhone Apple Maps is used as the base map underneath.
- App update checks: the update server of 650 Industries, Inc. (Expo).
- Payment and subscription checks: the app store from which you downloaded the Service.
- (2) The Service includes Google Maps features and content. Use of Google Maps features and content is subject to the then-current versions of the "Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service" and the "Google Privacy Policy".
- (3) Map display, updates or subscription checks may be temporarily unavailable because of outages or policy changes of outside services. Even then you can keep using the recording features on your phone (for subscription checks, see Article 8(6)).
Article 7 (Free trial)
- (1) You may use every feature free of charge until 11:59 p.m. (by your phone's clock) on the 3rd day, counting the day you first open the Service as day 1, that is, to the very end of that day. For example, if you first open it at 3 p.m. on September 1, the trial lasts until 11:59 p.m. on September 3.
- (2) We do not collect payment details when the free trial starts, and nothing is charged and no subscription starts automatically when it ends. To keep using the features, you must buy a subscription yourself.
- (3) What you can use after the free trial ends is set out in Article 8(3).
- (4) Because the Company has no server, the trial start date is stored only on your phone. If you delete and reinstall the app or change phones, the trial period may be calculated differently.
- (5) The free trial is a trial period offered so that you can try the Service fully before paying, and it operates together with the restriction on withdrawal in Article 11(1).
Article 8 (Subscription products and payment)
- (1) The subscription products and prices are as follows. The amounts shown are the prices in the Republic of Korea, including value-added tax; the amount actually charged is the one shown on your app store's purchase screen. Outside the Republic of Korea, the local-currency price that the app store shows in your country applies.
| Product | Price (renewal period) |
| 1-month subscription | KRW 5,900 (every month) |
| 6-month subscription | KRW 29,000 (every 6 months) |
| 1-year subscription | KRW 49,000 (every year) |
- (2) A subscription renews automatically for the same period unless you cancel it, and the renewal price is the same as before except where it changes under Article 9. If you live outside the Republic of Korea, see also Article 21(6).
- (3) If you have no subscription after the free trial ends, you cannot start a new trip, continue a trip, add new photos to records you have already made, or save the trail map in advance, including saving it again (adding a photo counts as making a new record). Trail maps saved in advance during the free trial or a subscription period remain viewable for 30 days from the day they were downloaded. Regardless of whether you subscribe, you can always view, edit (change a record's title and memo and move a pin), export (including photo bundles) and delete the trips and records you have already made, import and view files you have received, and use "Draw route".
- (4) Payment and automatic renewal are carried out by the app store's payment system. The Company does not receive, see or store payment details such as card numbers. Refunds follow Article 12.
- (5) A subscription is linked to your app store account. If you change phones or reinstall the app, you can restore your subscription with "Restore purchase" in the Service, using the same app store account.
- (6) The Service checks your subscription status with the app store. If it cannot check because there is no internet connection, it accepts the subscription status confirmed at that time for 14 days from the last successful check. After 14 days, until you connect to the internet and the check succeeds again, you cannot use the subscription features in paragraph 3 (starting a new trip, continuing a trip, adding photos, saving the trail map in advance); you can still view, edit, export and delete records under paragraph 3.
- (7) When you first pay for a subscription and each time it is paid by automatic renewal, the Company shows you the contract details (product name and content, price and when and how it is paid, when use begins, automatic renewal, the deadlines, methods and effects of withdrawal and cancellation, the fact that withdrawal is restricted, the form to use when requesting withdrawal, refunds and compensation for delay, the device environment needed, complaint and dispute handling, how to view the terms, and business information) on a screen in the Service, and you can save them. Because renewal payments take place in the app store, the details are shown the first time you open the Service after a renewal. In cases such as when you have deleted the app or changed phones, you can ask the Company by email to view or receive a copy of your payment records. Payment receipts are sent by the app store to the email address of your app store account.
Article 9 (Price changes)
- (1) The Company may change subscription prices after giving advance notice where there is a legitimate reason, such as the costs of running and maintaining the Service, added features, changes to app store fee policies, or changes in prices or exchange rates.
- (2) When raising a price, the Company notifies affected users in the app, from 30 days before the effective date (or a longer period if the app store's policy or the law of the country concerned requires it), of the name of the subscription product, the current price, the new price, the effective date and how to cancel.
- (3) For users in the Republic of Korea, under Article 13(6) of the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, the Company or the app store informs you, within 30 days before the increase, of the date and time of the increase, the prices before and after, and the payment method, and obtains your express consent. It also tells you the conditions and methods for refusing the increase or canceling the subscription, and their effects. If you do not consent, you are not charged the new price, and the subscription ends without renewal at the end of the current period.
- (4) In other countries, where the app store's policy or the law of that country requires consent, the same method applies.
- (5) A changed price does not apply to a period you have already paid for.
Article 10 (Renewal and cancellation of subscriptions)
- (1) Unless you cancel, a subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, and the renewal price is charged to the payment method registered with the app store.
- (2) You can go straight to the app store's subscription management screen from "Manage or cancel subscription" in the Service and cancel there. You can also cancel directly in the app store's subscription management screen.
- (3) If you do not want automatic renewal, please cancel before the next renewal date. On the Apple App Store the renewal price may be charged from 24 hours before the next period begins, so cancel before then; on Google Play, canceling at least 2 days before the next payment date is safe (Google Play may obtain payment authorization from 48 hours before the payment date).
- (4) Even after you cancel, you can keep using the subscription features until the end of the period you have already paid for. After a subscription ends, your records are not deleted, and you can still view, edit, export and delete them under Article 8(3).
- (5) Canceling stops the next renewal; even if you cancel, you can use the period you have already paid for until it ends. Cancellation is different from withdrawal; withdrawal is governed by Article 11 (and, outside Korea, Article 21), and refunds by Article 12. Except where the law gives you the right to terminate the contract and claim a refund, we do not offer any other way to end a subscription partway through a period and get back the fee for the rest of it.
Article 11 (Withdrawal)
Withdrawal means undoing a payment and getting your money back. Because a Pathpin subscription opens its features as soon as you pay, withdrawal is restricted as a rule and is possible only in the cases in paragraph 2. If you live in the EU/EEA or the UK, the rules on the 14-day right of withdrawal in Article 21(3) apply instead of paragraph 1.
- (1) Because provision of the subscription features starts at the same time as payment, under Article 17(2)(5) of the Korean Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, withdrawal is restricted once provision has started. This applies both to the first payment and to payments by automatic renewal. If you do not want automatic renewal, please cancel before the renewal date under Article 10.
- (2) However, you may withdraw in the following cases:
- Where there is a part whose provision has not yet started: for that part only (the proviso to Article 17(2)(5) of that Act)
- Where you could not use the subscription features for reasons attributable to the Company
- Where the content of the Service differs from how it was described or advertised, or from the contract
- (3) Withdrawal under paragraph 2(1) and 2(2) may be made within 7 days of the day you received the contract details (or, if provision of the subscription features started later, of the day it started). For an automatic renewal, it is within 7 days of the day you received the renewed contract details on a screen in the Service; if the renewed period starts later than that, from its start date; and if you did not receive the contract details, within 7 days of the day you knew or could have known of the renewal. Withdrawal under paragraph 2(3) may be made within 3 months of the day you received the Service and within 30 days of the day you knew or could have known of the matter. Where the law provides a longer period, that period applies.
- (4) The Company clearly displays the restriction in paragraph 1 (including that it also applies to payments by automatic renewal) in these terms and on the subscription screen, so that you can easily see it before paying for the first time, and offers the 3-day free trial in Article 7 as a trial-use product (a way of letting you use the Service for a set period) so that the exercise of the right of withdrawal is not obstructed (Article 17(6) of the same Act). After a payment by automatic renewal, this is shown again on the contract details screen under Article 8(7).
- (5) You may withdraw through the app store's refund request screen or by emailing the Company. We recommend email, so that the date of your request is recorded. In the email, please state the app store you paid through, the order number (or the payment date, time and amount) and your request. When a withdrawal is made, the Company refunds the payment under Article 12.
Article 12 (Refunds)
- (1) The Company refunds payments in the following cases:
- Where you withdraw under Article 11 (or Article 21)
- Where you paid by mistake or were charged twice (overpayment)
- Where there is a defect in the Service as described in paragraph 5
- Where Article 3(4) or Article 4(3) applies
- Where a contract made by a minor is rescinded under Article 13
- Other cases where the law requires a refund
- (2) The Company refunds within 3 business days, counting for paragraph 1(1) from the day you withdrew (if you did so in writing, such as by email, the day you sent it), and in other cases from the day your request or notice of rescission reached the Company (or, if the Company found the error first, the day it found it). For Google Play payments, the Company refunds through Google Play, and the subscription ends at that point. For Apple App Store payments, the Company cannot refund directly through the payment channel. In that case the Company first guides you through Apple's refund request procedure, and if Apple refunds, Apple ends the subscription. If Apple declines the refund or no result comes within the period above, the Company refunds to the bank account you provide. Even if refunded to a bank account, the Company cannot cancel the subscription in the app store, so if you do not want the next renewal payment, you must cancel it yourself in the app store; the Company will tell you how when it refunds. If both Apple and the Company refund the same amount, you must return the duplicate amount. When refunding to a bank account, the Company receives the bank name, account number and account holder name and handles them under the Privacy Policy.
- (3) If the Company or the app store does not refund by the deadline in paragraph 2, the Company pays compensation for the delay at 15% per year for the period of delay (Article 21-3 of the Enforcement Decree of the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce; Article 12 of the Content User Protection Guidelines).
- (4) Overpayments are refunded in full by the same method as the payment. If that is not possible, the Company tells you immediately and refunds by the method you choose; overpayments caused by the Company's error are refunded without deducting any fee.
- (5) If you could not use the subscription features properly because of a defect in the Service, you may request compensation using the Company's contact details. The Company provides an update fixing the defect as soon as possible and refunds the fee for the period you could not use (calculated as in paragraph 6). If the defect is not fixed and you still cannot use the subscription features, you may terminate the subscription and receive a refund of the fee for the remaining period. Compensation for damage caused by a defect follows Article 18.
- (6) In these terms, "the fee for the remaining period of use" and "the fee for the period you could not use" are calculated by dividing the amount paid by the total number of days in that period and multiplying by the number of days concerned.
Article 13 (Rescission of contracts by minors)
If a user who is a minor paid for a subscription without the consent of a legal representative (a parent or other person acting for the minor), the minor or the legal representative may rescind the contract. Rescission may be requested through the app store's refund request or using the Company's contact details, and the refund follows Article 12(1)(5) and Article 12(2).
Article 14 (Points that differ from the Content User Protection Guidelines)
Under Article 28(3) of the Korean Content Industry Promotion Act, the Company states below the points where these terms differ from the Content User Protection Guidelines (a notice of the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism).
- (Notice before payment) Because there is no sign-up, the Company does not receive users' contact details to which it could send payment notices (contact details you give when contacting us are used only to handle that inquiry), so it cannot send individual notices by email or text message before automatic payment dates. You can check the scheduled payment date and amount at any time in your app store's subscription management screen. If you live outside the Republic of Korea and the law of your country requires notice before renewal, see Article 21(6).
- (Consent to renewal) You are treated as having agreed to automatic renewal when you first pay for a subscription, and separate consent is not obtained before each renewal. Cancellation follows Article 10.
- (Notice of and consent to amendments) Amendments unfavorable to users are announced on the terms web page and in the app instead of by individual email or text message, and consent to the amended terms is not confirmed with each user individually but determined as set out in Article 3(4).
- (Remedy for defects) The Guidelines recommend paying back the price and damages if complete content cannot be provided again within 24 hours of a serious defect; the Company instead provides the remedy in Article 12(5) (a corrected update and a refund of the fee for the period you could not use), and compensation for damage follows Article 18.
- (Refund on early termination) Canceling a subscription only stops the next renewal; we do not offer ending a subscription partway through a period and receiving back the fee for the rest of it. This does not apply to refunds under Article 12(1) or where the law gives you that right. If you live outside the Republic of Korea, see also Article 21(6).
Article 15 (Location and personal information)
- (1) The Service uses your phone's location function to record where photos are taken and to draw the paths you walk. Recorded location coordinates are stored on your phone and are not sent to any server of the Company. However, in the course of loading map images, the map area shown on screen (which may be around your current location) is passed to the map provider (Google; if you choose the trail map, Tracestrack and, on iPhone, Apple). If you save the trail map in advance by tapping "Save the trail map for this route" on a trip that has a planned route (imported or drawn yourself), the map area around that planned route is also passed to Tracestrack (the route's coordinate list is not sent as such, but the requested map images reveal the area around the route). Tapping "Draw route" switches the map type to the trail map, so the map area shown on screen while you draw is passed to Tracestrack. The coordinates of the planned route you draw are stored only on your phone.
- (2) You can turn permissions off at any time in your phone's settings. If you turn off the location, camera or photo permission, you cannot use the features that need it; if you turn off notifications, the walk-recording notification does not appear in the notification bar.
- (3) Information processed by outside companies in the course of map display, update checks and payment, and personal information processed by the Company (such as inquiries), are governed by the Privacy Policy.
Article 16 (Exporting files and taking photos)
- (1) You may export records as files to keep yourself or pass to others. Files are delivered only to the app or folder you choose, and no system of the Company is involved. Exported files contain the following, so please check the recipient and the content before sharing.
- Record files (KML, GPX, CSV, and a ZIP containing them): the trip name (also used in the file name), record titles and memos, location coordinates and times, walked tracks (with altitude in GPX files) and distances, planned routes (imported or drawn yourself), and photo file names. The photos themselves are not included.
- Photo bundles (ZIP): the trip's photos exactly as the files are in your Gallery (not reduced in size). The bundle's file name contains the trip name, and each photo's file name contains the date, sequence number and the record title at the time the photo was saved (it does not change if you edit the title later). Photo files may contain information your phone saved with the photo (date and time taken, device model and so on, and, depending on the photo, where it was taken). Photos edited on iPhone are included as edited.
- (2) You are responsible for managing the files you export and the files you receive or import from others. Files may contain other people's location records, so please handle them in accordance with applicable law and any agreement between the people concerned.
- (3) You must obey the law when taking photos. In particular, you must not take photos in which a person, or things related to that person, appear in places from which the inside of a restroom, bathing room, changing room or similar place used by many people can be seen (Article 25-2(2) of the Korean Personal Information Protection Act). You are legally responsible when you share photos showing other people's faces, vehicle license plates and so on.
Article 17 (Your obligations)
- (1) You must use the Service in accordance with the law and these terms, and must not:
- Reverse-engineer, copy or modify the Service, or bypass the payment process
- Use the Service to infringe the rights of others or to break the law
- Break the law, for example by entering places where entry is prohibited to make records
- (2) The Company does not keep user accounts. However, if you breach paragraph 1 or the Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service, the Company may take necessary measures, such as blocking use of the feature concerned, in accordance with applicable law and its agreement with Google. If you disagree, you may give your views using the Company's contact details.
Article 18 (The Company's responsibility)
- (1) The location coordinates, distances and times provided by the Service may contain errors depending on the performance of your phone's satellite positioning (GPS) and the surrounding environment. The Company is not responsible for results arising from such device or environmental errors in uses that require high precision, such as surveying or legal evidence. However, if coordinates or times are recorded incorrectly because of the Company's intent or negligence, such as a defect in the Service, paragraphs 3 and 4 apply.
- (2) The Company is not responsible for damage caused by the following causes in which the Company has no intent or negligence: natural disasters; the breakdown, loss or reset of your phone; your own operating mistakes; or outages of outside services such as the operating system, app stores or map services.
- (3) If records are damaged because of a defect in the Service, the Company tells you of any way to recover the records left on your phone or in a phone backup (the Company cannot restore records for you), and refunds fees under Article 12(5). This applies even if you had not made backups or exports.
- (4) If you suffer damage because of the Company's intent or negligence, the Company compensates you in accordance with applicable law.
Article 19 (Dispute resolution)
- (1) If a dispute arises between the Company and a user, both parties will try in good faith to resolve it through discussion.
- (2) If discussion does not resolve it, you may apply for counseling or mediation to the following bodies:
- 1372 Consumer Counseling Center (dial 1372 in Korea, www.ccn.go.kr)
- Electronic Document and Electronic Commerce Mediation Committee (www.ecmc.or.kr, dial 118 in Korea)
- Korea Content Dispute Resolution Committee (www.kcdrc.kr, 1588-2594 in Korea)
- (3) These terms are interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Korea. However, the rights that the law of the country where you live guarantees to consumers and that cannot be excluded by contract continue to apply.
- (4) For users in the Republic of Korea, under Article 36 of the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, lawsuits fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the district court for the user's address at the time the lawsuit is filed (meaning a lawsuit may be filed only in that court), or, if there is no address, for the user's place of abode (where the user actually stays). If neither is clear, the Korean Civil Procedure Act applies.
Article 20 (Language of the terms)
These terms are written in Korean, and the Company also publishes translations in English, Japanese, Spanish, German and French. If a translation differs from the Korean terms, the Korean terms prevail. However, where the law of the country (or province or state) where you live provides otherwise, that law applies.
Article 21 (Users outside the Republic of Korea)
- (1) This Article also applies to users who live outside the Republic of Korea. It sets out the main rights that the laws of those countries give consumers. Rights not written here that the law of your country guarantees and that cannot be excluded by contract also continue to apply (Article 19(3)). Where this Article and another Article differ, this Article prevails for the users it covers. Article 3(4) (being deemed to agree to amended terms if you do not object by the effective date) applies only to the extent that the law of the country where you live recognizes its effect.
- (2) (Prices) Outside the Republic of Korea, the local-currency price that the app store shows in your country applies (whether tax is included follows the app store's display). The subscription products on sale may differ by country (for example, only the 1-month product is sold in Canada), and the app shows only the products that the app store in your country sells.
- (3) (EU/EEA and United Kingdom — 14-day right of withdrawal) If you are a consumer living in the European Union, the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may withdraw from a subscription contract within 14 days of the day it was concluded, without giving any reason. However, a subscription starts as soon as you pay. If, at the time of payment (the app shows this notice right above the payment button), you asked for the subscription to start during the withdrawal period and acknowledged that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal, then, as provided by law (the Company treats the subscription as digital content under (a); where the law or authorities of your country treat it as a service, (b) applies): (a) where the subscription is treated as digital content, your right of withdrawal ends once provision has started; (b) where the subscription is treated as a service, you may still withdraw within 14 days, but the fee for the period already provided until you withdraw is not refunded. If any of that request, that acknowledgement or the confirmation required by law was missing, you may withdraw within 14 days and receive a full refund. You can withdraw by emailing the Company (contact@watsi.co.kr; for Google Play purchases, the Company refunds through Google Play) or through the Apple App Store ("Purchase History" → "Withdraw Transaction" in your Apple Account); each app store's refund procedures also apply. This paragraph applies instead of Article 11(1).
- (4) (Japan) If you live in Japan, the mandatory provisions of Japanese consumer-protection laws, such as the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions and the Consumer Contract Act, may apply. The Company publishes the information required by the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions on the 特定商取引法に基づく表記 (Notation under the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions) page. Nothing in these terms exempts the Company from, or limits, liability for damage caused by its intent or gross negligence.
- (5) (United States) If you live in the United States, a subscription continues and renews automatically for the same period at the same price (except where the price changes after notice under Article 9) until you cancel it (Articles 8 and 10), and you can cancel it online at any time in your app store's subscription settings. When the Company raises a price, it gives the notice in Article 9(2); for users in California, it gives notice within the period required by California law (no less than 7 and no more than 30 days before the change).
- (6) (Ending a subscription during its period and getting the rest back — Germany, France, the Canadian province of Quebec and others) If the law of the country (or province or state) where you live gives you the right to end an automatically renewing subscription during its period and get back the fee for the remaining period, the timing and procedure set by that law apply, even where they differ from Article 8(2), Article 10(5) and Article 14. For example (if the law changes, the changed law applies): (a) Germany: after the first period, the subscription continues for an indefinite term, and you may end it at any time, with effect no later than one month after you do so; (b) France: because the Company does not receive users' contact details, it cannot send the notice that French law requires before renewal (by letter or dedicated email, between three months and one month before the deadline for refusing renewal), so you may end the subscription free of charge at any time after it renews, and the part of what you paid after the last renewal that covers the remaining period is refunded within 30 days of the day you end it; (c) the Canadian province of Quebec: you may end the subscription at any time. You end the subscription in your app store's subscription settings, and you can get back the fee for the remaining period (calculated as in Article 12(6)) as follows: (1) Google Play purchases: choose immediate cancellation and a partial refund in Google Play's cancellation flow (where Google Play offers this in your country), or email the Company (contact@watsi.co.kr) and the Company will refund you through Google Play; (2) Apple App Store purchases: first ask Apple; if Apple refuses or no result comes within the time limit in Article 12(2), the Company refunds you as provided in Article 12(2). The full text of Articles L215-1 to L215-3 and L241-3 of the French Consumer Code, which apply to consumers living in France, is reproduced at the end of the French translation.
- (7) (Other countries) If the law of your country gives you a right of withdrawal or refund, that right applies, and you may also exercise it by emailing the Company.
- (8) (Courts) If you are a consumer living outside the Republic of Korea, you may bring a lawsuit in the courts of the country where you live where that country's law allows it.
