Terms of Service
The phrases and emergency cards provided in this application are supplementary language aids only. K-Talkie is NOT an emergency response service and is NEVER a substitute for contacting emergency professionals. If you or someone around you faces immediate medical distress, injury, danger, or crime in South Korea, immediately dial 119 for ambulance and fire rescue, or 112 for police assistance. Free 24-hour foreign language interpretation is supported by Korean emergency dispatchers.

2. Permitted Use & Intellectual Property
K-Talkie grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the application for your individual, non-commercial language learning purposes.

4. No Guarantee of Outcomes
K-Talkie is designed to assist travelers with everyday situational phrases. We provide no guarantee of specific learning outcomes, including but not limited to:
- Fluency or comprehension of colloquial Korean beyond the taught phrases.
- Successful immigration clearance, customs passage, or visa issuance at border control.
- Commercial dispute resolution, healthcare outcomes, or travel itinerary success.
5. Third-Party Services & Links
The App may display links to third-party travel products, ticketing services, or affiliate partners (such as transit cards and tour providers via Klook). These external services operate independently, and K-Talkie is not responsible for their availability, fulfillment, or terms.
6. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, K-TALKIE, ITS DEVELOPERS, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, OPPORTUNITY, OR HEALTH ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APPLICATION. THE APP IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
7. Governing Law & Jurisdiction
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Korea, without regard to conflict of law principles.
8. Optional Account
You may use K-Talkie without an account. If you choose to sign in with Google, you must be 18 years or older, and you agree (a) to keep your Google account secure — you are responsible for activity under it; (b) to use one account per person and not to share it; and (c) not to misuse the service, for example by trying to reach other users’ data or to bypass purchases.
We may suspend or close an account that breaches these Terms. You may delete your account at any time as described in the Privacy Policy and on the account deletion page; deletion is permanent.
Accounts and purchases are specific to each K-Talkie app: a Pro purchase made in one K-Talkie app does not unlock another. Purchases are processed by Google Play under its terms; signing in does not change prices, refunds or subscription management, which remain with Google Play.
