Terms of Service
Announcement date: 2026-08-29 · Effective date: 2026-09-05
These Terms set out the basic conditions necessary to use the website and app provided by StrikeLab. Where there is separate guidance on a service-specific screen or on Google Play, that guidance also applies.
Article 1 (Purpose)
These Terms are intended to set out the conditions and procedures for using the website, Owlarm, and any incidental services provided by StrikeLab ("the Company") (collectively, the "Service"), as well as the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of the Company and users.
Article 2 (Definitions)
- "Service" means the features, information, and content that the Company provides through its website, mobile app, and other means.
- "User" means a person who uses the Service under these Terms.
- "Owlarm" means the Company's Android wake-up alarm app that is dismissed through clap, sound, or sensor input.
- "Paid Service" means a feature that a user purchases or subscribes to through Google Play in-app billing.
Article 3 (Effect and Amendment of the Terms)
- These Terms take effect when posted on a Service screen or the website and when the user uses the Service.
- The Company may amend these Terms to the extent it does not violate applicable law.
- When these Terms are amended, the Company will announce the effective date, the content of the change, and the reason on the website or within the Service before the change takes effect. Changes that are disadvantageous to users or material will be announced by the method and within the period set by applicable law.
- A user who does not agree to the amended Terms may stop using the Service and uninstall the app.
Article 4 (Content and Provision of the Service)
- The Company provides alarm scheduling and ringing, clap/sound/sensor dismissal, wake history, app settings, paid features, and product information.
- Free users may see a banner ad at the bottom of the settings and wake-history screens. Ads are not shown to subscribers or on the alarm/dismissal screens.
- The information the Google Mobile Ads SDK processes when serving ads, and the on-device processing standards for microphone and sensor data, follow the Privacy Policy.
- The specific features, compatible devices, prices, and conditions of provision of the Service are shown on a Service screen or on Google Play.
- The Company may add or change features as needed for service improvement, operation, or technical reasons, and will give advance notice where this materially affects users.
Article 5 (Suspension of the Service)
- The Company may temporarily suspend all or part of the Service in the event of facility maintenance, failure, communication outage, natural disaster, an order from a relevant authority, or other cause that is reasonably difficult to control.
- A planned suspension will be announced in advance to the extent possible, and an urgent or unforeseeable suspension may be announced afterward.
- The Company may discontinue the Service for unavoidable business or operational reasons, and will carry out the necessary procedures in accordance with applicable law and the purchase terms. If the Company discontinues the Service, or reduces a paid feature the user has purchased, during a paid subscription period, the Company will refund the amount corresponding to the remaining period. This refund does not apply to the addition or change of free features under Article 4.
Article 6 (Obligations of the User)
The user must not do any of the following:
- Violating a law, these Terms, or Service guidance
- Infringing another person's rights or interfering with the operation of the Service
- Reproducing, distributing, selling, or altering the app or content without authorization, or reverse-engineering it in an unauthorized manner
- Imposing an excessive load on the Service through automated means or bypassing security features
- Fraudulently using the payment process or unlawfully transferring purchase rights to another person
The user must manage the device's time, volume, notification/exact alarm/full-screen notification/microphone permissions, and battery settings in accordance with Service guidance.
Article 7 (Paid Services and Payment)
- Payment for Paid Services uses only Google Play in-app billing. The Company does not accept separate card payments or bank transfers.
- The price, billing period, whether a free trial is offered, and the terms of automatic renewal and cancellation follow what is shown on the purchase screen and on Google Play.
- Unless the user cancels, the subscription automatically renews at the end of the current subscription period, and the renewal price shown at that time is charged through Google Play upon renewal.
- The user may cancel a subscription at any time through the subscription management screen in the Google Play Store, and the app provides an entry point to that screen. Even after cancellation, the user can continue to use the Service until the end of any already-paid period.
- Refunds, withdrawal of a subscription offer, and cancellation of payment follow Google Play's refund policy and procedures and the applicable laws of the Republic of Korea. The Company does not directly retain or process payment methods such as users' card numbers.
- Withdrawal period. The user may request withdrawal of the purchase within 7 days of the payment date. The Company offers no free trial, so it will not refuse a withdrawal request within that period merely because the user has already used paid features.
- How to withdraw. Request a refund from the subscription management screen in the Google Play Store, or email contact@strikelabkr.com with the account used for the purchase and the payment date. Either route is accepted.
- Effect of withdrawal. Once the withdrawal is confirmed, the amount paid is refunded through Google Play to the payment method used, and the time it takes to appear on the account or card follows Google's and the card issuer's procedures. From the moment the refund is made, access to paid features ends, while the features offered free of charge remain available.
- If the price increases, or a service that was free becomes paid, the Company or Google Play will notify the user in advance and will apply the increased price only with the user's explicit consent. If the user does not consent, the existing price continues to apply or the subscription is not renewed.
- If there is a payment error or a problem restoring a purchase, the user may check their Google Play purchase history and then contact contact@strikelabkr.com.
Article 8 (Intellectual Property Rights)
- Intellectual property rights in the Service, software, design, text, trademarks, the Strixy character, and content produced by the Company belong to the Company or the rightful right holder.
- The user may not reproduce, modify, distribute, transmit, sell, or otherwise use the content for commercial purposes beyond the scope of personal use of the Service without the Company's prior consent.
- If a user sends an opinion or suggestion about the Service, the Company may refer to it for product improvement, and the user's personal information will be processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
Article 9 (Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability)
- Owlarm is a tool that helps with waking up and does not guarantee that the user will wake up at a specific time.
- An alarm or its dismissal may not operate normally due to causes that are reasonably difficult for the Company to control, such as the device being powered off, a depleted battery, the operating system's power-saving mode or background restrictions, denied permissions, silent/volume settings, a device, sensor, speaker, or microphone malfunction, or an operating system update.
- The user is responsible for not relying on the Service as the sole means for important schedules and for preparing appropriate backup measures, such as an auxiliary alarm.
- The Company may limit its liability for the Service provided free of charge to the extent permitted by applicable law.
- This Article does not exclude liability arising from the Company's intent or gross negligence, or any user right that cannot be limited under applicable law.
Article 10 (Dispute Resolution, Governing Law, and Jurisdiction)
- The Company and the user will consult in good faith to amicably resolve disputes related to the Service.
- The laws of the Republic of Korea apply to these Terms and the use of the Service.
- Disputes not resolved through consultation will be resolved in the court of jurisdiction determined by applicable law, including the Civil Procedure Act of the Republic of Korea.
