Terms of Service
Effective Date: May 8, 2026
Welcome to Mathiter, operated by Elicova (hereinafter "the Company," "we," "us," or "Elicova"), a sole proprietorship registered in the Republic of Korea. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Mathiter website (mathiter.com), web and mobile applications, and all related products and services (collectively, the "Service").
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. These Terms cover the Mathiter learning app. The Company also operates Mathiter Tutoring, a private tutoring service offered in the Republic of Korea only and governed by the Korean-language Terms of Service.
1. Definitions
- Company: Elicova, a sole proprietorship in the Republic of Korea, represented by Sejun Park.
- Service: The Mathiter learning app and all related products operated under the Mathiter brand.
- Member: Any person who agrees to these Terms and uses the Service. For minors, the term includes their legal guardian.
- Billing Key: An auto-billing token issued by our payment processor (Toss Payments) in lieu of full card details.
2. Eligibility
The Service is available to individuals who are at least 13 years of age. Users under 18 must have consent from a parent or legal guardian. A parent or guardian who registers or pays on behalf of a minor accepts these Terms on behalf of the minor and is responsible for the minor's use of the Service.
The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. The Company may verify your age, identity, or parental consent and suspend accounts that fail verification.
3. Accounts and Registration
To access certain features, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information at registration and to keep your account information updated.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify the Company immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. The Company is not liable for any loss arising from your failure to secure your credentials.
4. Service Structure
The Company provides two independent service tracks:
- Mathiter learning app (SaaS track): A self-directed learning toolkit including adaptive diagnostic testing, AI-powered coaching, problem practice, video lessons, and a parent dashboard. Available in free and paid tiers, governed by B.
Members may use either or both tracks. Each track has separate billing, refund, and operational rules. Track transitions are governed by C.
A. Mathiter learning app (SaaS)
The provisions of this B apply exclusively to the Mathiter learning app track.
A-1. Freemium Structure
The Mathiter learning app is provided in two tiers:
- Free users: Basic features available indefinitely without charge, subject to a daily usage cap (problems, AI coaching, lessons, etc.). Automatically applied upon registration; no payment method required.
- Paid users: All features available without limit for KRW 34,900 per month (including applicable tax), charged on a recurring monthly basis.
The Company may modify the scope of free/paid features and daily limits as needed for service operation, with material changes announced in advance via site notice or email.
A-2. Paid Subscription — Recurring Billing and Auto-Renewal
Paid subscriptions are automatically charged each month to the Member's registered payment method (billing key). Subscriptions auto-renew until canceled, on the same day of the month as the first payment.
Members may cancel anytime via My Page. After cancellation, paid features remain accessible until the end of the current billing period. Pro-rated refunds are not provided.
The Company will notify Members at least 30 days in advance of any price change. Members who do not agree may cancel before the next renewal.
A-3. Failed Payment and 7-Day Grace Period
If a recurring charge fails, the following procedure applies:
- Day 0 (first failure) — Member and Company notified immediately by email. Automatic retry scheduled in 24 hours.
- Day 1 (second failure) — Member and Company notified by email. Automatic retries cease and a 7-day grace period begins. Paid features remain accessible during grace.
- Day 4 — Mid-grace reminder email.
- Day 7 — Grace period ends. If payment is not restored, the Member is automatically downgraded to free tier and the daily usage cap is applied.
A-4. Learning Data Retention and Permanent Deletion
For Members downgraded to the free tier, learning data (problem history, progress, weak topic analysis, notes, etc.) is processed as follows:
- Day 7 ~ Day 37 (30 days) — Learning data preserved as-is, accessible within free-tier limits.
- Day 37 — Learning data enters dormant state. The Member is notified that "90 days remain for recovery." Data is safely stored in backup.
- Day 67 — "60 days remain for recovery" notice email.
- Day 97 — "30 days remain for recovery" final warning email.
- Day 127 — Backup permanently deleted. Re-subscription cannot restore the data.
Members may re-subscribe anytime before Day 127 to instantly restore all learning data. This policy is designed to avoid indefinite data retention while giving Members ample time to decide.
