Shizue Terms of Service

Effective from the day Shizue accounts and the Shizue subscription open. Until then, the sections about accounts, points, and the subscription apply to no one.

These terms cover the Shizue browser extension, the Shizue app, the shizue.net and shizue.ai websites, and Shizue accounts and the subscription (together, "Shizue"). The Shizue app is not out yet, and terms that apply only to the app will be added here when it is. By installing Shizue, creating a Shizue account, or subscribing, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use Shizue.

1. Who we are

Shizue is run by Hyungrok Kim, a sole proprietor registered in the Republic of Korea under the business name Shizue ("we", "us"). You can reach us at q0115643@gmail.com.

• Business name: Shizue
• Representative: Hyungrok Kim
• Business registration number: 790-05-03731
• Address: B103, 266 Seocho-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea

2. What Shizue is

Shizue is a personal agent that records, remembers, and speaks up first. It comes as two products, which share one Shizue account and one plan:

• The extension brings AI models into your browsing: chat in the side panel, page summaries, page and caption translation, and other features described on shizue.net.
• The app is in the works. It will offer the features described on shizue.ai.

You can use Shizue in two ways:

• With your own AI account, such as Sign in with ChatGPT. Your use of that account is covered by its provider's terms, and its cost is between you and that provider.
• With a Shizue account: for free with points, or with Shizue Intelligence, a paid subscription that includes AI usage.

3. Open source

The extension's source code is published under the MIT License. These terms cover the service we run (shizue.net, shizue.ai, Shizue accounts, and the subscription). They do not limit what the MIT License lets you do with the source code.

4. Accounts

• You need a Shizue account to use points or a Shizue subscription. You do not need one to use your own AI account. You can sign in with Google, Apple, or a code sent to your email.
• You must be at least 14 years old, or older if the law where you live requires it.
• An account is for one person. Keep your sign-in secure and do not share or sell your account.
• You can delete your account at any time in the account settings. Deleting it ends your subscription benefits.

5. Subscription and payment

• Plans, what each includes, and prices are shown on the Pricing page.
• A subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period, at the price then in effect, until you cancel.
• You can cancel at any time from the account settings. After you cancel, the plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
• If we raise the price of your plan, we will tell you by email at least 30 days before the new price applies to you. You can cancel before it does.
• Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns. Paddle's buyer terms apply to your purchase, and Paddle collects any taxes that apply.

6. Refunds

Refunds are described in our Refund Policy. Nothing in these terms limits a right to cancel or to a refund that the law where you live gives you.

7. Included AI usage and points

• Each plan includes an amount of AI usage per billing period, shared by the extension and the app. Your account settings show how much you have used.
• The included usage is part of the subscription. It is not money, credit, or stored value: it cannot be bought separately, exchanged for cash, transferred to another person, or carried over to the next period.
• When you have used all of it, features that run on the subscription stop until your next billing period starts or you move to a higher plan. Features that run on your own AI account keep working.
• The models available on each plan can change. We may add, replace, or remove models, for example when a provider retires one.
• Without a subscription, you can use AI with points. You earn points through the missions and invitations shown in Shizue. Points cannot be bought, sold, transferred, or exchanged for money. We may change how points are earned, what they are worth, and when they expire.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use Shizue to break the law or to harm others;
• send content through the subscription that the AI providers' usage policies prohibit, including the policies of OpenRouter and of the model's provider;
• resell, share, or give others access to your subscription, or use it to offer AI access to anyone else;
• use the subscription from scripts, bots, or other tools outside Shizue, or try to get around usage limits;
• interfere with Shizue's servers or try to reach other people's accounts or data.

If you break these rules, we may limit, suspend, or close your account. When we can, we will warn you first and tell you why.

9. Your content and privacy

• What you send through Shizue, and what the models return, stays yours. We claim no rights to it.
• With a Shizue account (points or a subscription), your requests pass through our relay server to OpenRouter, which forwards them to the model's provider. Our relay does not store or log their content.
• With your own AI account, your requests go directly from your device to that provider and do not pass through our servers.
• Our Privacy Policy explains what data is handled and how.

10. AI output and browser control

• AI models make mistakes. Their answers, summaries, and translations can be wrong or incomplete. Check anything important yourself, and do not rely on Shizue for medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice.
• Browser control acts in your tabs at your request. You are responsible for the actions you ask it to take and for reviewing what it did.

11. Third-party services

Shizue works on websites and with services we do not run, such as the sites you visit, video platforms, and AI providers. Their own terms apply to them. They can change or block how Shizue works with them, and a feature that depends on them may stop working.

12. Changes to Shizue and to these terms

• We may add, change, or remove features. If we remove a feature that a paid plan substantially depends on, we will tell you in advance where we can.
• We may update these terms. We will post the new version here with its effective date at least 7 days before it applies. If a change reduces your rights, we will tell you by email at least 30 days before. If you keep using Shizue after the new terms apply, you accept them. If you do not accept them, you can cancel and delete your account.

13. Ending

You can stop using Shizue at any time by uninstalling the extension or the app and, if you have one, deleting your account. We may stop offering Shizue or the subscription. If we end the subscription, we will tell you at least 30 days in advance and refund the unused part of any period you have already paid for.

14. Disclaimers and liability

• Shizue is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we make no warranty that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose.
• To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss caused by AI output, by third-party services, or by actions browser control took at your request. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for Shizue in the 12 months before the claim arose.
• Nothing in these terms excludes liability for our intent or gross negligence, or takes away rights that consumer law gives you and that cannot be waived.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea. Disputes go to the court that has jurisdiction under the Korean Civil Procedure Act. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live.
