Saju Pals Terms of Use

Effective date: October 4, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Frederick Young Lee, an individual who makes and runs Saju Pals ("Saju Pals", "we", "us") about your use of the Saju Pals app and website. By using Saju Pals, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

1. For entertainment

Saju Pals is for entertainment and self-reflection. Readings, daily fortunes, compatibility reports, names and chat answers are playful interpretations of traditional Korean saju. They are not predictions and not advice about health, mental health, money, investments, legal matters, relationships or any other decision. Don't rely on them to make important choices. For those, talk to a qualified professional.

Saju Pals is not for emergencies. If you or someone else is in danger, call 911. If you're thinking about suicide or self-harm, call or text 988 (the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, in the US), any time.

2. Who can use Saju Pals

• You must be at least 18 to create an account, connect with friends, turn on AI readings, use the chat or make purchases (for now; we'll update these terms if that changes). If you're under 18, you need a parent's or guardian's permission to use Saju Pals.
• Users under 13 can use the features that work entirely on the phone (Korean name, chart, daily fortune and offline readings), with a parent's or guardian's permission.
• You must be in the United States to use Saju Pals.

3. Your account

An account is optional and only needed to connect with friends. You sign in with Apple. Keep your Apple ID secure and tell us at support@sajupals.com if you think someone else is using it. You're responsible for activity on your account. You can delete your account any time in Me → Privacy & data → Delete account. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms.

4. AI-generated content

Some readings and all chat answers are written by an AI model, using your chart. AI can be wrong, inconsistent or odd. Two people with similar charts may get similar text. We don't promise that any AI content is accurate, complete or suitable for you.

Your guide is an AI character, not a person. It won't give professional advice, and it will decline some topics (like health, legal questions, specific money moves, or whether a relationship will last).

5. Your Korean name

The Korean-style name the app gives you is made for fun from your birth details and a curated list of names and characters. It is not an official or legal name, and the meanings of Chinese characters (hanja) are simplified. You're free to use it however you like.

6. Name twins

The app may tell you that your Korean name matches the name of a well-known person. This is a factual note about names only. Saju Pals is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by those people or their agencies. Names and trademarks mentioned belong to their owners. If you'd like a name removed, email legal@sajupals.com, and we'll remove it within a few days.

7. What you send us

When you type messages into the chat, you give us permission to use them to produce answers (including sending them to our AI partner, as the Privacy Policy explains). You keep any rights you have in what you write. Please don't send anything unlawful, private information about other people, or anything you don't have the right to share.

If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without paying you or owing you anything.

8. Rules of use

Please don't:

• use Saju Pals for anything unlawful, harmful or abusive, or to harass anyone
• try to get the guide to produce harmful, sexual or hateful content, or to get around its limits
• copy, scrape, resell or build a competing service from our content, or use it to train AI models
• reverse-engineer the app, interfere with our servers, or get around free-question limits or purchase checks
• pretend to be someone else, or enter someone else's birth details without their permission
• share invite links publicly, invite anyone under 18, or use friends features (invites, names, sparkles) to harass, spam or upset anyone

Friends. Inviting and connecting with friends is for users 18 and over with an account. We have no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. You can remove, block or report a friend at any time. We review reports within 24 hours, and we may remove a connection, a name or an account that breaks these terms, without notice. We don't reward invitations.

9. Purchases and subscriptions

Purchases are available only to users 18 and over, and are made through Apple's App Store under Apple's terms. You don't need a Saju Pals account to buy. Prices are shown in the app before you buy.

Saju Pals Plus is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly.

• It renews automatically at the price and period shown when you subscribed, until you cancel. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm, and again at each renewal.
• To cancel, go to Settings › [your name] › Subscriptions on your iPhone (or Me › Manage subscription in the app) at least 24 hours before the renewal date. You keep Plus until the end of the period you've paid for. Deleting the app or your account doesn't cancel a subscription.
• What's included is described on the Plus screen, for example unlimited people in Match and up to 20 chat questions a day. We may add, change or remove Plus features; if a change reduces what Plus includes in a significant way, we'll tell you in the app first.
• Introductory offers: if an offer is shown (for example, a lower price for your first month), it's for new subscribers only, Apple decides who's eligible, and after the offer period the subscription renews at the regular price shown, until you cancel.
• Price changes follow Apple's rules: Apple tells you in advance, and for a price increase, asks you to agree where required.

One-time purchases (for example, "Your 2027 reading" or a deep-dive report) are yours to keep on your Apple ID for as long as we offer the app, and can be restored with Restore purchases. When a one-time item is included with Plus, you can use it while you have Plus; if Plus ends and you didn't buy the item separately, it locks again.

Deep-dive reports are written by AI for your chart once, when you unlock them, and aren't rewritten on request. If writing one fails, you keep the purchase and can try again. If you reinstall without an iCloud backup, Restore purchases unlocks it again, but it's written again and may read differently. We don't promise the same text.

Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies. If Apple refunds a purchase, what it unlocked locks again.

Free questions and bonus questions have no cash value and can't be transferred.

10. Our content

The app, the guide characters (Dal-tokki, Kkachi and Dokkaebi), their art and animation, and our text are owned by us or our licensors and protected by law. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on Apple devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use, under these terms and Apple's Usage Rules. You may share your name card and reading cards for personal, non-commercial use. Third-party components are listed in the app under Me → About → Acknowledgements.

11. Changes and ending

We may update Saju Pals, add or remove features, or stop offering it. We may update these terms; if a change is significant, we'll tell you in the app before it takes effect. If you keep using Saju Pals after that, the new terms apply. You can stop using Saju Pals at any time.

12. Disclaimers and limits

Saju Pals is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't promise the app will be uninterrupted, error-free or available at any particular time.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of Saju Pals. Our total liability for any claim relating to Saju Pals is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or $50. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, such as for fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

13. Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. This doesn't take away any protection you have under the consumer laws of the place where you live.

Before starting any formal dispute, please email legal@sajupals.com so we can try to resolve it. We'll reply within 30 days.

If we can't resolve it, either of us may bring a claim in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and we both agree to those courts' jurisdiction. Either of us may instead bring an individual claim in a small-claims court that has jurisdiction, including where you live.

14. Apple App Store terms

These terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for Saju Pals or its content. For the version of the app you download from the App Store:

• License. The license in section 10 is limited to using the app on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms.
• Support. We, not Apple, are responsible for maintenance and support. Contact support@sajupals.com.
• Warranty. If the app fails to meet an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
• Claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for any claims relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and consumer-protection, privacy or similar claims.
• Intellectual property. If someone claims the app infringes their intellectual property, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging the claim.
• Legal compliance. You confirm you are not in a country subject to a US government embargo or designated as "terrorist supporting", and you are not on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Third-party terms. You must follow any applicable third-party terms (for example, your wireless carrier's) when using the app.
• Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
