Effective date: May 24, 2026 · Last updated: August 2, 2026

Notice: This English text is provided for convenience only. The Korean version of these Terms is the sole legally binding document. In the event of any discrepancy or conflict between the English and Korean versions, the Korean version shall prevail.

Article 1 (Purpose)

The purpose of these Terms is to set out the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of Canuse Lab (hereinafter "the Company") and its users, as well as other necessary matters, in connection with the use of In the Egg (hereinafter "the Service") provided by the Company.

Article 2 (Definitions)

  1. "Service" means the study timer and the pet-collecting and village-decorating game features provided by the Company.
  2. "User" means any member or non-member who uses the Service under these Terms.
  3. "Member" means a person who has registered for membership by providing personal information to the Company.
  4. "Paid Service" means the Lifetime Pass (the price is shown on the in-app purchase screen), which is purchased once and used permanently. There is no auto-renewal and no recurring billing.

Article 3 (Effect and Amendment of these Terms)

  1. These Terms take effect upon being posted through an in-app notice.
  2. The Company may amend these Terms where there is a reasonable ground to do so. Any amendment will be announced through the in-app notices from 7 days before its effective date (from 30 days before, in the case of an amendment unfavorable to users).

Article 4 (Membership Registration)

  1. A user applies for membership by entering member information in the form prescribed by the Company and agreeing to these Terms.
  2. A child under the age of 14 obtains the consent of their legal guardian through the following procedure.
    • Enter a parent's email address during membership registration
    • The Company sends a 6-digit verification code to the parent's email
    • The child enters that code in the app to complete the consent
    • After consent, the child may use the Service

Article 5 (Provision of the Service)

The Company provides the following services.

Article 6 (Paid Services and Payment)

  1. Paid products
    • Lifetime Pass: the price shown on the in-app purchase screen (one-time payment, permanent use)
    • Benefits upon purchase: lifetime access to the Pet Village + village decorating + permanent removal of in-app ads
  2. Payments are made through the Apple App Store and Google Play.
  3. The Lifetime Pass is used permanently after a single payment, with no auto-renewal and no recurring billing.
  4. After a discount period ends, the product is sold at its regular price. This does not affect the validity of passes already purchased.
  5. A purchase by a child under the age of 14 is valid only with the consent of their legal guardian, and a purchase made without such consent may be cancelled under Article 5 of the Civil Act. The Company recommends that parents approve their child's purchases directly using Apple's Ask to Buy or Google Play's purchase approval feature.

Article 7 (Withdrawal of Subscription and Refunds)

  1. A user may request withdrawal of subscription within 7 days after payment. However, withdrawal may be restricted in the following cases.
    • Where the user has used the paid content (for example, entering the Pet Village, placing village decoration items, or otherwise using features exclusive to the Lifetime Pass)
    • Where 7 days have passed since the purchase
  2. Where a minor (under the age of 19) has made a payment without the consent of their legal guardian, the legal guardian may cancel the payment under Article 5 of the Civil Act, and the Company will issue a refund regardless of whether the content was used.
  3. Please submit refund inquiries to support_intheegg@canuselab.com.
  4. Refunds for payments follow Apple's and Google's refund policies, and the Company may not refund directly to the payment method.

Article 8 (Obligations of Members)

Members must not engage in the following acts.

  1. Misappropriating another person's information
  2. Modifying, reproducing, distributing, or reverse-engineering the Service provided by the Company
  3. Infringing the copyrights or intellectual property rights of the Company or third parties
  4. Acts that interfere with the normal operation of the Service

Article 9 (Display of Advertising)

The Company displays banner ads to free users. The content rating of ads is restricted to G (suitable for all audiences) regardless of the user's age, so all users are shown only ads that children can safely see. What changes with age is not the content of the ads but the personalization method: users under the age of 14 are shown only non-personalized ads that do not use advertising identifiers. Users aged 14 and over may be shown personalized ads; on iOS this switches to non-personalized ads according to the App Tracking Transparency response, and in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland according to the advertising consent (UMP) response. Ad placement and the handling of advertising identifiers follow Privacy Policy Article 9-2. All ads are permanently removed upon purchase of the Lifetime Pass.

Article 10 (Suspension of the Service)

The Company may temporarily suspend provision of the Service in the event of unavoidable circumstances such as a natural disaster or system maintenance, and shall not compensate for any damages arising therefrom unless otherwise specifically provided by law.

Article 11 (Disclaimer)

The Company shall not be liable for any impairment of the use of the Service caused by reasons attributable to the user.

Article 12 (Dispute Resolution and Jurisdiction)

Any lawsuit concerning a dispute arising between the Company and a user shall be under the jurisdiction of the district court having jurisdiction over the user's address at the time the suit is filed. However, if the user's address or place of residence is not clear at the time the suit is filed, or if the user resides abroad, the suit shall be filed with the competent court determined in accordance with the Civil Procedure Act.

Supplementary Provisions

These Terms take effect on May 24, 2026.
