Terms of use.

The short version: read, listen, share a link, and write to us as much as you like. Please do not copy the site wholesale, break it, or use it to harm others. What we publish is offered as it is, and it is not professional advice.

1. Agreement and who we are

These terms govern your use of ipe.rest and the subdomains run by the same operator: idle.ipe.rest, still.ipe.rest, draft.ipe.rest, iltonggi.ipe.rest, inkisle.ipe.rest, pawstcard.ipe.rest and play.ipe.rest, plus any other *.ipe.rest site we add later (together, “the Sites”). The Sites are operated by Davy Kim (ipe Studio), Seoul, as an individual (“we”). By using a Site you accept these terms; if you do not, please do not use it. Our mobile apps are separate: each app has its own terms and privacy policy, which control for that app.

2. Using the Sites

You may browse the Sites, read the journal, play or share links to our music, and contact us, for personal and non-commercial use. You agree not to:

• copy, scrape or republish the Sites or a substantial part of their text, music, images or code, or use them to train a commercial model, without our written permission;
• interfere with the Sites, probe or test their security, or send automated requests at a rate that burdens them;
• use the Sites, or the contact address, for spam, harassment, unlawful content or anything that harms other people;
• click on or generate ads artificially, or encourage others to.

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

3. Content and ownership

Unless a page says otherwise, the text, music, artwork, design and code on the Sites belong to Davy Kim (ipe Studio), and all rights are reserved. Third-party names, logos and marks belong to their owners. Our writing and music are made with AI assistance and reviewed by a person; we say so openly in the journal and on the about page. If you want to reuse something beyond the quoting allowed above, write to ipe.haven@gmail.com.

4. What you send us

If you email us, you keep ownership of what you write. You allow us to read it and to use it to reply and to handle your request. We will not publish your message or your name without asking you first. See the privacy policy for how we handle personal information.

5. Advertising, links and third parties

The Sites may show advertising served by Google AdSense, and they link to services 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 and policies; we do not endorse them and are not responsible for them. Please do not treat an ad as a recommendation from us. How ads, cookies and consent work is described in the privacy policy.

6. No professional advice

The Sites share writing, music and notes about our apps. They are for general interest only. They are not medical, mental-health, religious, legal, financial or investment advice. If you are in distress, please contact a qualified professional or your local emergency service.

7. Availability and accuracy

We try to keep the Sites accurate and available, but we provide them “as is” and “as available”, without any promise that they will be error-free, uninterrupted or up to date. We may change, suspend or remove any page, feature or Site at any time.

8. Limits of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for any loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Sites or from third-party ads and links. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or any mandatory consumer rights you have where you live.

9. Changes to these terms

If these terms change in a way that matters, we will post the new version here with a new effective date. Using a Site after that date means you accept the new version. Current version: 2026-11-06.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, and disputes that cannot be settled by talking to us belong to the courts of Seoul, without limiting any mandatory consumer protection or court-choice right you have under the law where you live.
