Terms of Service

Article 1 (The service)

EVOA Play is a hub of browser games. Free games can be played without an account. Some features, such as cloud save, comments and purchases, need an account. Paid features (Pro subscription, game purchases and credits) are currently offered only in South Korea; we do not sell overseas.

Cloud save: members who sign in with Google can save the progress of supported games to their account, free of charge, and continue on other devices. Progress is saved automatically at certain points, such as when a game ends. If devices differ, progress is merged: highest values win for scores, records and lifetime counters; achievements and top-10 records are combined; the most recent daily reward record wins; items and settings follow the device that saved last. As a result, lifetime counters may show less than you actually played if you play on several devices separately. If a device is shared, progress on this device that has never been saved is linked to the first account that signs in, and on a device that already holds progress saved under a different account it is replaced by the signing-in account's saved data, so one person's progress is never merged into another person's account. We make reasonable efforts to keep saving and syncing working, but saves may be delayed or fail because of network problems, so please do not rely on it as your only copy. Except in the replacement case above, we do not delete the copy stored on your device. If you withdraw or choose "Delete cloud save", the progress stored on your account is deleted and cannot be restored. This clause does not limit liability for damage caused by our intent or gross negligence.

The clauses on paid features (Pro, game purchases and credits) apply from the day we start offering those features, and we announce that day before it happens.

Article 2 (Accounts and eligibility)

Keep your sign-in details safe and give accurate information. You are responsible for activity on your account.

People under 14 cannot create an account or pay. If a minor pays without the consent of a legal guardian, the minor or the legal guardian may cancel the payment (Article 5 of the Civil Act).

If we suspend or terminate an account for breaking these terms, we email the reason and how to object, and if the member is not at fault we refund the unused paid period.

Article 3 (Pro subscription and purchases)

(1) Displayed prices are Korean won amounts including value-added tax. (2) Pro is a monthly subscription that renews automatically every month from the payment date. The payment screen shows the renewal cycle, amount, next payment date and how to cancel, and you can cancel at any time under Dashboard > Cancel subscription. After you cancel you are not charged from the next payment and can use Pro until the end of the period you have already paid for. (3) If we change the fee, we notify you by email 30 days before it applies, and if you do not agree you can cancel before it applies. (4) You may request withdrawal within 7 days of the payment date (or the date the service became available). However, where notice was given and your consent obtained before payment, withdrawal is restricted for the part of a game or Pro benefit whose use has already started. (5) Consumer rights set by applicable law, such as where the service is provided differently from what was displayed or advertised, are not limited by this clause. (6) Refunds are made to the payment method within 3 business days.

For a game that has no trial (demo), the restriction in (4) for use that has started does not apply to its purchase.

A purchased game can be used for as long as that game's service is provided. If we end the service, we announce it 30 days in advance and refund the period during which you can no longer use it.

Article 4 (Credits)

Credits: The credits feature is not currently available. Before it launches, we will publish its terms, including the validity period, refunds and treatment of any balance on account closure, in these Terms and notify users.

Article 5 (Acceptable use)

• Do not cheat, exploit bugs, or interfere with the service or other players.
• Do not post unlawful, abusive or infringing comments (see Article 6 for comment rules).
• Do not use an inappropriate nickname or manipulate scores in the ranking (see the Ranking section).
• Do not attempt to access data or systems you are not authorized to use.

Article 6 (Comments and member posts)

(1) Only members signed in with a Google account can post comments. We do not run a separate age-verification step; we judge whether a member is 14 or older from the age information set on the member's Google account, and children under 14 cannot become members or post comments. If we learn that a member is under 14, we may delete that account's comments and restrict its use. A comment can be up to 500 characters, and only text can be entered; images and files cannot be posted. Links (URLs) in a comment are shown only as text that cannot be clicked. We automatically filter out input in the form of links, but we do not guarantee that every link is blocked.

(2) The copyright in a comment belongs to the member who wrote it. When a member posts a comment, the member permits us to store, display, transmit and back up it to the extent necessary to run the service, and to use it in the reporting and review procedure under Article 7. This permission is free of charge and non-exclusive. We do not use comments for other purposes such as advertising or promotion, and we do not assign or license them to third parties. The permission ends when the comment is deleted or the member leaves, and backups we made are deleted within 30 days. Copies that Google keeps while providing its service are deleted according to Google's published deletion schedule.

(3) A comment is shown together with the author's Google account display name and profile photo, which are public to everyone, including other users. Before a member posts a first comment, we tell the member this on screen and ask for confirmation. If a member changes the display name or photo on the Google account, the change may be reflected in the service. If you do not want this to be public, do not post a comment.

(4) Members must not post any of the following comments.

• 1. Content that defames others or invades their privacy, or that reveals personal information such as another person's real name, contact details or address
• 2. Insults, belittling, discrimination or hate, threats or harassment, or content that repeatedly causes fear or anxiety
• 3. Obscene content or content harmful to minors, and illegal information such as illegally filmed material
• 4. Content that infringes others' copyright or other rights
• 5. Advertising, promotion or spam, repeated posting of the same content, and content relating to fraud, gambling or illegal goods
• 6. Content that encourages crime or otherwise violates applicable laws
• 7. Content that disrupts the operation of the service, or that impersonates others

(5) If we judge that a comment falls under paragraph (4) or is likely to, we may hide or delete it, and may restrict a member who repeats this from posting comments. When a comment is hidden or deleted, the hidden or deleted state and its reason are shown to the member who wrote it when that member views their own comment on the service screen. We do not send a separate individual notice, such as an email. However, in urgent cases or where an investigative agency, court or other authority requests it, we may act first and show the reason later.

(6) Every comment has a report button. If three or more different users report the same comment, it is automatically hidden from other users; it is not automatically deleted. In this case the member who wrote it is shown the hidden state together with the reason that it is under review following reports. We review hidden comments and restore or delete them, and normally complete the review within 3 business days. The reporting function of a member who makes false reports or repeated malicious reports may be restricted.

(7) A member can delete their own comments at any time.

(8) A member can leave at any time with the "Delete account" button on the account page. We may ask you to sign in with Google again to confirm your identity. When you leave, your account information (Google account identifier, email address, display name, profile photo address), the comments you wrote in all games (including display name and profile photo address), likes, game save data, game data (character, pets) (once available), ranking data (nickname, scores), records kept for usage limits, and the sign-in account are deleted. An account with credits, a subscription or payment history may have to keep payment records under applicable law, so it cannot leave with the button; in that case, and if you cannot sign in, please request leaving at contact+game@evoa.one from the email address of your Google account. After confirming your identity, we handle the request within 10 days of receiving it and tell you the result at the same email. However, for handling reports and disputes, report records and comment-management (action) records (member identifier, action taken, reason code and similar, excluding comment content) may be kept in a limited way after you leave, within the scope and periods set in the Privacy Policy (report records 1 year from the last handling date, action records 1 year for ordinary actions and 3 years for actions linked to a rights-infringement request or dispute). A member can delete only their own comments at any time under paragraph (7).

(9) The author of a hidden or deleted comment can file an objection at contact+game@evoa.one, and we review the objection and tell you the result.

(10) The author of a comment is responsible for its content, and we do not guarantee that a comment is accurate or lawful. However, we handle rights-infringement reports under the procedure in Article 7.

Article 7 (Rights-infringement reports and temporary measures)

(1) A person who claims that a comment infringes their rights, such as by invading privacy or defamation, can request at contact+game@evoa.one that the comment be deleted or that their rebuttal be posted. The request must include: the requester's name and contact details, the game name and posting time of the comment (or a screenshot), the reason the requester believes their rights are infringed, and supporting material.

(2) When we receive a request under paragraph (1), we without delay (normally within 1 business day of receiving a request that meets the requirements) take a temporary measure blocking access to the comment and immediately tell the requester and the comment's author. We tell the requester at the contact details provided with the request, and the author by a notice on the service screen. A temporary measure lasts no more than 30 days.

(3) The author of a comment can submit an opinion on a temporary measure at contact+game@evoa.one. Within the temporary-measure period we decide whether to delete or repost the comment and tell the requester and the author.

(4) A person who holds copyright or another right protected by the Copyright Act and believes that their work is being copied or transmitted without permission in a comment can demand that the copying and transmission stop under Article 103 of the Copyright Act. The demand must include material showing they are the rights holder, information identifying the work allegedly infringed and the comment, and the demander's name and contact details. When we receive a demand, we without delay stop the copying and transmission of the comment and tell the demander and the author. The author can demonstrate a legitimate right and demand that copying and transmission resume, and we decide whether to resume under the procedure in the Copyright Act. The use of a member who repeatedly infringes copyright or other rights may be restricted.

(5) Person in charge of rights-infringement reports: A&B Network, Representative Ruby Kim, email contact+game@evoa.one

(6) Except where we follow a procedure set by law (a court order, a lawful request from a competent authority and the like), we do not give the personal information of a comment's author to the requester.

(7) A person who infringes another's rights by making a request or report based on false facts is responsible for it.

Ranking

(1) The ranking is a public service that members choose to join. If you join, your nickname and best score are shown to everyone as described in the Privacy Policy and in the join dialog.

(2) Members must not: 1. use a nickname that is abusive, demeaning or discriminatory, impersonates another person or the operator, or contains personal information such as a real name, contact details or school, or advertising or links; 2. manipulate scores or tamper with a game, submit scores automatically by programs, or submit any record that cannot be obtained by normal play.

(3) We may delete nicknames or records that break these rules, reset a nickname, and bar the member from the ranking. Except in urgent or repeated cases we notify in advance, and after acting we give the reason on request. Objections can be sent to contact+game@evoa.one.

(4) If you believe a nickname shown in the ranking infringes your rights, tell us at contact+game@evoa.one. After checking, we take the necessary action, such as removal.

(5) There is no prize, reward or compensation for ranking position. The ranking is for entertainment; we may reset, change or stop it, for example after a game update or to clear cheated records, and it is provided as is.

(6) You can withdraw at any time with "Leave ranking", and your nickname and scores are then deleted as set out in the Privacy Policy. Joining the ranking and cloud save are separate, and deleting one does not affect the other.

(7) This article does not limit liability for damage caused by our intent or gross negligence.

Article 8 (Intellectual property)

The hub, the games and their content belong to EVOA Play or its licensors. You may play them for personal use, but not copy, resell or reverse engineer them.

Article 9 (Availability and disclaimers)

We work to keep the service running but provide it as is, without guarantees of uninterrupted availability. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect losses. Damage caused by the company's intent or gross negligence, and consumer rights set by applicable law, are not limited by these terms.

Article 10 (Changes to these terms)

When we change these terms, we announce the change on the service screen 7 days before it applies (30 days before for changes that are unfavorable to users), and we also notify unfavorable changes by email. Members who do not agree can cancel before the effective date, and the unused paid period is then refunded.

Article 11 (Governing law and contact)

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea and do not limit the protection a consumer receives under the mandatory rules of their country of residence. Lawsuits about these terms are brought in the court with jurisdiction under the Civil Procedure Act.

Questions can be sent to contact+game@evoa.one.
