Article 7 (Special Agreement for Users of Devices Linked with NAVER CLOVA)

1. The User shall clarify and agree to the following with regards to usage of devices that can be linked with NAVER CLOVA (e.g. hardware including speakers; referred to “NAVER CLOVA linked devices”):

• For the purpose of providing customized service for NAVER CLOVA linked devices, the Company may use, given the consent of the User, a part of the data related to the User after linkage of such devices, in operating the relevant services.

• The data used in NAVER CLOVA linked devices, as defined in the preceding subparagraph, shall remain in use until the User disables the linkage with NAVER CLOVA linked devices (referred to as “de-linking”), and may be updated with the latest data every time the link is established.

• The User may de-link at any moment to stop the service from using the data as stated in the Subparagraph 1.

2. The User shall pay attention to the following items while using NAVER CLOVA linked devices or leasing them to a third party, and the Company shall not be held responsible for any loss or damage arising solely from the User’s failure to comply with the following items (notified separately during the usage of NAVER CLOVA linked devices), for which the User cannot claim any liabilities on the Company’s side.

• In cases which the NAVER CLOVA linked device(s) the User integrates does not specify the person commanding the provision of data or other related actions, the data input directly by the User to such device(s) or the data related to the User transmitted to such device(s) may be accessible by a third party who has physical access to them. Therefore, to prevent data leak, the User must store the NAVER CLOVA linked devices in a physical space where only those who pose no threat by accessing the User-related data stored in such devices; if doing so is impossible, de-link the devices so that no one can access the data within them.

• In cases which the User leases or entrusts the NAVER CLOVA linked device(s) that does not specify the person commanding the provision of data or other related actions, failure to de-link such device(s) before leasing or entrusting them may result in access to the data related to the User transmitted to such device(s) or the data input directly by the User to such device(s) by the borrowing party. Therefore, it is imperative that the User de-links the applicable devices before leasing or entrusting them to a third party.


Article 8 (Termination of Agreement and Restriction of Service Use)

1. The User may always stop using NAVER CLOVA, and terminate this service agreement. Provided, that when the User terminates this service agreement, the User shall be restricted to subscribe to NAVER CLOVA service for one (1) month thereafter, in order to prevent the repetitive accumulation of unnecessary data and abusive practices involving repeated subscription and termination and ensure reliability of NAVER CLOVA service operation.

2. In cases which the User violates the terms in this agreement or the relevant laws and regulations, the Company can arbitrarily terminate this service agreement or suspend the User’s NAVER CLOVA usage either temporarily or permanently.


Article 9 (Governing Laws and Jurisdiction)

The terms in this agreement will be governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, and the court with jurisdiction for legal disputes arising from the interpretation of this agreement shall be determined in compliance with Civil Procedure Act.
