Terms of use.

Effective 2026-07-26 · Version v1.0

1. Agreement and who we are

These terms govern your use of ipe()’s websites (ipe.rest and every *.ipe.rest subdomain) and mobile apps (distributed through the App Store and Google Play), together “the Services”. pawstcard is excluded. The operator is Davy Kim (ipe Studio), Seoul — an individual developer, not yet registered as a business (once registered, the trade name, registration number etc. will be added to this section) (“we”). We do not publish an address or phone number and take enquiries by email at privacy@ipe.rest only (once the business is registered, we will add its address and phone number). By using a Service you accept these terms; if you do not, please do not use it. These terms are available at the canonical address (https://ipe.rest/legal). Personal information is handled under the privacy policy. If a Service has its own specific terms (for example paid-subscription terms), those control for that part. For apps, the end-user license agreement (EULA) is the Apple Standard EULA and the Google Play terms as they are, and these terms apply alongside them. If they differ, the one more favourable to you applies, and your statutory consumer rights are not limited.

2. Using the Services

You may use the Services for personal, non-commercial use. You agree not to:

• copy, scrape or republish a Service or a substantial part of its text, music, images or code, or use them to train a commercial model, without our written permission;
• interfere with a Service, probe or test its security, or send automated requests at a rate that burdens it;
• use a Service or the contact address for spam, harassment, unlawful content or anything that harms others;
• click on or generate ads artificially, or encourage others to;
• reverse-engineer or tamper with an app, or bypass payment or subscription checks (except where law allows).

Ordinary search-engine indexing is welcome, and so is quoting a short passage with credit and a link back.

3. Content and ownership

Unless stated otherwise, the text, music, artwork, design, code and games of the Services belong to the operator, and all rights are reserved. Third-party names, logos and marks belong to their owners. Some of our writing, music and content is made with AI assistance and reviewed by a person; we say so in the journal and about pages. To reuse something beyond the quoting allowed above, write to us.

4. What you send us

If you email us, you keep ownership of what you write and allow us to read it and use it to reply and handle your request. We will not publish your message or name without asking first.

5. Paid features and in-app purchases (apps that offer them)

1. Some apps (currently the “Still & Deep” subscription in still; prices are the store prices shown on the purchase screen) offer in-app purchases or subscriptions. We add to this item as more apps offer paid features. Payment, renewal, cancellation and refunds follow the terms and procedures of the Apple App Store or Google Play; we never receive card details.
2. Subscription notice: before payment a subscription app shows in the app the subscription name, price, billing period, the fact that it renews automatically, and how to cancel (store account settings). A subscription renews automatically unless cancelled; cancel in your store account settings.
3. Minors: a purchase made by a minor without a legal guardian’s consent can be cancelled by the minor or the guardian. Cancellation and refunds go through the store process, and you may also write to us.
4. Withdrawal and refunds: withdrawal from and refunds for in-app purchases follow the refund policy and procedure of the store (Apple App Store or Google Play), and you may have to apply to the store directly. If the law limits withdrawal on some ground (for example digital content already in use), we tell you in the app before you pay.
5. Use “Restore purchases” in the app to restore a purchase.
6. Send questions about payments or subscriptions to the address in section 12 (privacy@ipe.rest). We reply within 10 days.

6. Advertising, links and third parties

The Services currently show no ads (before we serve Google AdSense ads we update these terms and the privacy policy first), and the Services link to others we do not control, such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, SoundCloud, X, Facebook and the app stores. Ads and linked services are provided by third parties under their own terms; we do not endorse them and are not responsible for them. Please do not treat an ad as our recommendation. See the privacy policy for ads, cookies and consent. The apps covered by these terms currently use no advertising SDK; if that changes we update these terms and the privacy policy first.

7. No professional advice

The Services share writing, music, games and notes about our apps, for general interest only. They are not medical, mental-health, religious, legal, financial or investment advice. If you are in distress, contact a qualified professional or your local emergency service. Output from AI features in some apps can be inaccurate.

8. Availability and accuracy

We provide the Services “as is” and “as available”, with no promise that they will be error-free, uninterrupted or up to date. We may change or suspend free pages and features. If we change, suspend or end a paid service, we give at least 30 days’ notice in the app, on the site and at the canonical address, and refund the unused part of any period you have already paid for under the refund policy of the relevant store.

9. Limits of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for loss from using or being unable to use the Services, or from third-party ads and links. This does not apply to loss caused by our intent or gross negligence, and nothing here releases us from that liability. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or mandatory consumer rights where you live.

10. Changes

If these terms change, we announce the new version at the canonical address (https://ipe.rest/legal) and in the app or site 7 days before it takes effect. For changes that disadvantage you or are material we give 30 days’ notice and tell you that, if you do not agree, you may stop using the Services before the effective date (for paid services, a refund for the remaining period under the relevant store’s refund policy). Where the change does not disadvantage you, continuing to use the Services after the effective date means you accept the new version.

11. Governing law

Korean law governs. Disputes are first settled by talking to us; if that fails they go to the competent court under applicable law. The courts of Seoul may also hear them (non-exclusive agreed venue), without limiting any mandatory consumer protection or court-choice right under the law where you live (for example the court of a consumer’s home).
