Article 3 (Notice on AI-Generated Content)
- All dialogue, messages, and expressions of Personas within the Service are AI-generated creative works and are not the actual statements, actions, or opinions of the real person concerned.
- Personas are provided under official license agreements with the person or their agency; however, individual conversations are not written or reviewed by that person.
- Members are deemed to use the Service with awareness of the above. The Company provides notice of this fact within the Service.

Article 4 (Posting and Amendment of Terms)
- The Company posts these Terms within the Service.
- The Company may amend these Terms within the scope permitted by applicable laws.
- Amendments are announced at least 7 days before the effective date, or 30 days with individual notice for changes unfavorable to members.
Article 5 (Formation of the Service Agreement)
- The agreement is formed when an applicant agrees to these Terms, applies through the prescribed procedure, and the Company accepts.
- Registration is made through Kakao, Apple, or Google account linkage.

Article 6 (Use of Content)
- The free portion of each World's first Season, as determined by the Company, is provided free of charge.
- Subsequent Seasons require a Season Pass. Seasons proceed sequentially.
- Free-form conversation beyond the daily free allowance deducts Points. Story-progression conversation does not deduct Points.
