Terms of Service
These are the terms that apply to your use of the Newey AI service. Matters concerning the processing of personal data are governed by our Privacy Policy.
Effective date: July 10, 2026
Article 1. Purpose
These Terms govern the rights, obligations, and responsibilities between Newey AI (the “Company”) and its users, as well as other necessary matters, in connection with the use of the real-time interpretation captioning service Newey AI (the “Service”) provided by the Company.
Article 2. Definitions
- “Service” means all functions of Newey AI that recognize speech in the browser, translate it, and display it as real-time captions (including overlay captions, stage mode, and the glossary).
- “User” means any person who uses the Service in accordance with these Terms.
- “Account” means the usage credentials that a User registers for the Service through Google account authentication.
- “User Data” means information generated or entered by a User in the course of using the Service, such as audio, transcription and translation text, glossary entries, and settings.
- “Beta Service” means the Service provided in a trial-operation phase prior to its official release. The Service is currently provided as a free beta.
Article 3. Effect and Amendment of the Terms
- These Terms take effect when they are posted on the Service screen or otherwise announced by any reasonable means.
- The Company may amend these Terms to the extent that doing so does not violate applicable law. When amending the Terms, the Company will specify the effective date and the reason for the change and announce it within the Service at least 7 days before the effective date; for changes that are unfavorable to Users or material, the Company will announce it at least 30 days before the effective date and notify Users individually by email or other means.
- If a User continues to use the Service after the effective date of the amended Terms, the User is deemed to have agreed to the amended Terms. A User who does not agree to the amended Terms may discontinue use of the Service and terminate the service agreement.
Article 4. Accounts and Service Agreement
- The service agreement is formed when a User agrees to these Terms and logs in via Google account authentication. Logging in is deemed to constitute agreement to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy.
- The Service may be used only by persons aged 14 or older. The Company does not accept registrations from children under the age of 14 and will, without delay, restrict use of any account confirmed to belong to a person under 14 and destroy the related information.
- Each User is responsible for managing their own account (including their Google account) and may not transfer or lend the account to any third party. If a User becomes aware of any theft or unauthorized use of their account, the User must notify the Company immediately.
- The Company may withhold or refuse the formation of a service agreement in any of the following cases:
- where the User has misappropriated another person’s account information;
- where the User has a history of having a service agreement terminated for violating these Terms;
- where providing the Service is difficult for technical or operational reasons.
Article 5. Description of the Service
- The Company provides Users with real-time speech recognition and translation captioning functions. Speech recognition and translation are performed by automated artificial-intelligence processing, and the accuracy and completeness of the results are not guaranteed. Captions are for reference only and must not be used as an official record for purposes that require accuracy, such as legal or medical purposes.
- Audio data is transmitted directly from the User’s browser to the speech recognition processor designated in the Privacy Policy; the Company’s servers do not receive, store, or relay audio. Real-time transcription and translation streams likewise do not pass through the Company’s servers; however, the summary, transcription, and translation text of a completed session that the User chooses to save is retained in the User’s account (Article 11). Further details are governed by the Privacy Policy.
- The specific features and supported environments (such as browsers) of the Service are described on the Service screen and in the Docs, and the Company may add or change features to improve the Service.
Article 6. Beta Service Notice
- The Service is currently in a beta phase and is provided on an “AS-IS” and “AS-AVAILABLE” basis. The Company makes no express or implied warranty as to the merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted availability of the Service.
- During the beta period, the features, usage limits, and terms of provision of the Service may be changed following prior notice; where there are urgent security or stability reasons, the Company may act first and give notice afterward.
- During the beta period, the Company will endeavor to prevent temporary suspension of the Service and the resetting of data (including records stored in the User’s browser), but does not guarantee this.
Article 7. User Obligations
Notifying speakers and obtaining their consent is the User's responsibility
Where a User uses the Service to recognize, transcribe, or translate another person’s speech in meetings, presentations, lectures, or similar settings, the responsibility to notify the participants of that conversation or presentation and to obtain any necessary consent rests entirely with the User. The same applies where a User broadcasts or delivers another person’s speech to third parties (an audience) using the audience-sharing feature, or redistributes the associated link — the responsibility for notifying and obtaining consent from the speaker rests with the User who enabled sharing. Listening to or recording a conversation between others to which one is not a party, without authorization, may be punishable under the Protection of Communications Secrets Act and other applicable laws.
- In connection with use of the Service, Users must comply with the laws of the Republic of Korea and the laws of the jurisdiction applicable to the User (including laws relating to wiretapping and recording consent and to the protection of personal data).
- Users bear sole responsibility for any disputes and damages arising from their failure to fulfill the laws referred to in paragraph 1 and the notice-and-consent obligation set out above, and must compensate the Company for any damage caused to the Company as a result.
- Users must not interfere with the normal operation of the Service and must comply with the usage limits and terms of use established by the Company.
Article 8. Prohibited Conduct
Users must not engage in any of the following conduct:
- misappropriating or fraudulently using another person’s account or personal information;
- violating applicable law, such as by recognizing or transcribing a conversation between others without the participants’ consent;
- reverse engineering the Service or related systems, exploiting vulnerabilities, or accessing them through abnormal automation (such as scraping or macros);
- reselling the Service or providing it commercially to third parties without the Company’s prior written consent;
- using the Service for the purpose of infringing another person’s rights, such as intellectual property, reputation, or privacy;
- otherwise violating applicable law or these Terms.
If a User engages in prohibited conduct, the Company may, after prior notice, restrict use of the Service or terminate the service agreement. However, where there are urgent security reasons, the Company may act first and give notice afterward.
Article 9. Fees and Usage
- The Service is currently provided as a free beta, and the Company does not collect payment information.
- For stable operation, the Company may set per-account usage limits (such as monthly or daily captioning time), and the limits and the basis on which they are calculated are described on the Service screen.
- If the Company introduces a paid plan, it will announce the fees, payment methods, and effective date at least 30 days before the effective date, and paid use will commence only after the User’s express agreement (payment). No fees will be charged retroactively on the basis of use during the free beta period.
Article 10. Intellectual Property
- Intellectual property rights in the Service and in the software, designs, trademarks, logos, and the like included in the Service belong to the Company or to their rightful owners.
- Rights in User Data (audio, transcription and translation results, glossary entries, and the like) belong to the User or the rightful owner. The Company processes User Data only to the extent necessary to provide the Service (such as relaying speech recognition and translation processing) and does not use it for any other purpose of the Company.
- Users must not, without the Company’s prior consent, reproduce, transmit, publish, or otherwise use for commercial purposes any information obtained through use of the Service, or allow any third party to do so.
Article 11. Retention of User Data
- Glossary entries and display settings are stored only in the User’s browser (localStorage). Because they are not stored on the Company’s servers, they may be lost through browser data deletion, a change of device, or similar events, and the Company cannot recover them. Users must keep any important information separately on their own.
- Session caption records are, where the User chooses to save them, retained in the User’s account and synchronized across the devices on which the User is logged in; Users may delete or export them at any time within the Service. Private sessions and sessions that are not saved are not retained on the servers.
- The scope and retention period of the information the Company stores on its servers (account information, session metadata, usage records, and session records the User chooses to save) are set out in the Privacy Policy.
Article 12. Changes to and Suspension of the Service
- The Company may change or suspend all or part of the Service as necessary for operational or technical reasons. If the Company discontinues the Service, it will give notice at least 30 days before the discontinuation date.
- The Company may temporarily suspend provision of the Service in the event of system maintenance, communications failures, failures of an external processor (such as speech recognition), natural disasters, or other events of force majeure.
Article 13. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
- To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Company is not liable for any indirect, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, arising in connection with use of the Service.
- To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Company’s total liability in connection with the Service is limited to the amount the User actually paid to the Company for the relevant Service during the three months immediately preceding the date on which the damage occurred.
- The Company is not liable for errors in automated speech recognition and translation results, for use disruptions attributable to the User, or for the loss of data stored in the User’s browser, unless due to the Company’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.
- Paragraphs 1 through 3 do not apply to damage caused by the Company’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, or to liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory provisions of applicable law, such as the Framework Act on Consumers.
Article 14. Termination
- Users may discontinue use of the Service at any time and may terminate the service agreement by requesting deletion of their account at newey.ai@gmail.com. A self-service account deletion feature within the Service is in preparation.
- Upon termination of the service agreement, the Company will, without delay, destroy the User’s personal data in accordance with applicable law and the Privacy Policy.
- If a User materially breaches these Terms, the Company may set a reasonable period and request correction, and may terminate the service agreement if the breach is not corrected.
Article 15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
- The laws of the Republic of Korea apply to these Terms and to any dispute relating to use of the Service.
- Any lawsuit concerning a dispute arising between the Company and a User in connection with use of the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Seoul Central District Court as the court of first instance.
- Notwithstanding paragraphs 1 and 2, where the User is a consumer, the mandatory consumer-protection provisions and the mandatory provisions on exclusive jurisdiction of the laws of the User’s place of habitual residence apply with priority.
