Onelings

Terms of Service

Version: 2026-11-draft

This is a draft and may change before the service launches.

1. Purpose

These Terms set out the rights, duties, responsibilities, and procedures between the operator of Onelings (the "Service" and the "operator") and the members who use the Service.

2. Definitions

  • Service: the app and website where your drawings become moving characters that you live with, decorate, and enter in contests.
  • Member: a person who has agreed to these Terms and signed up.
  • Character: a moving character the Service creates from a drawing a member uploads.
  • Member content: drawings, character names, nicknames, and other content a member posts on the Service.
  • Contest: an event where members enter characters and other members' votes decide the ranking.

3. Posting and changing these Terms

  1. The operator posts these Terms in the app and on the website.
  2. The operator may change these Terms as long as it does not violate applicable law. We will announce the changes and the effective date at least 7 days in advance, or at least 30 days in advance for changes that are unfavorable to members or significant.
  3. If you do not agree to the changed Terms, you may delete your account.

4. Signing up

  1. You must be 14 or older to sign up. We check your age with your birth year and month.
  2. To sign up, sign in with a Google account or email, then confirm your age, agree to the Terms, and choose a nickname.
  3. The operator may refuse a sign-up or end the agreement later if:
    • you used someone else's information;
    • you are under 14; or
    • you are suspended or permanently banned and try to sign up again.

5. Your account

  1. You are responsible for your sign-in methods (Google account, email) and must not let others use them.
  2. Nicknames must be unique and may not include words that could be mistaken for the operator or offensive words.
  3. If you find that someone else is using your account, tell the operator right away.

6. Providing and changing the Service

  1. The Service is currently a free test version before the official launch.
  2. The operator may change, add, or remove features to improve the Service. We will announce important changes in advance.
  3. We may pause the Service for maintenance, outages, or other unavoidable reasons. If we end the Service, we will announce it 30 days in advance.

7. Rights to member content

  1. You own the copyright to your drawings and member content.
  2. You grant the operator a free, non-exclusive permission to use your member content as needed to run the Service, including:
    • storing and displaying it in the Service, turning it into moving characters, and changing its size or format;
    • showing contest entries and winning entries; and
    • featuring it to introduce the Service (such as winning entries). In that case we show your nickname, and you can ask us to remove it.
  3. This permission ends when you delete the content or your account. However, published contest records and promotional materials already made may remain for the period set out in the Privacy Policy.
  4. Upload only drawings you have the rights to.

8. Prohibited conduct

You must not:

  1. upload other people's drawings or characters without permission, or present them as your own;
  2. upload sexual, violent, or hateful drawings, or content that harms children or minors;
  3. upload drawings or photos containing other people's personal information, such as faces or contact details;
  4. post advertising or promotions, or post the same content repeatedly;
  5. manipulate contest results, for example by creating multiple accounts or coordinating votes with others;
  6. interfere with the Service or other members, attack our servers, or use the Service through unauthorized automated means;
  7. impersonate the operator or other members; or
  8. otherwise violate the law.

9. Content moderation and reports

  1. The operator may hide or delete content that violates section 8.
  2. When you upload a drawing, the operator automatically checks whether it is similar to other members' drawings. A drawing that may have a problem can be hidden from others until the operator reviews it.
  3. Anyone can report problematic content. If your drawing has been copied, tell us by email. While we review it, we may temporarily hide the content.
  4. We will tell the reporter and the member who posted the content about the result and any action taken.

10. Contests

  1. Contest themes, schedules, and voting methods are announced in the Service.
  2. Members must vote fairly. If we confirm fraudulent voting or manipulation, we may void those votes, withdraw entries, or cancel rankings.
  3. Any contest rewards will be announced separately.

11. Restrictions on use

  1. If you violate these Terms, the operator may issue a warning, suspend your use for a period, or ban you permanently, depending on the seriousness of the violation.
  2. We will tell you the reason and the period of any restriction. You can appeal by email.

12. Deleting your account

  1. You can delete your account at any time in the app (Account → Delete account) or on the website's Delete account page.
  2. What is deleted and when is described in the Privacy Policy. A deleted account cannot be restored.

13. Paid services

There are no paid services yet. Before we open paid currency or subscriptions, we will add payment, refund (withdrawal), and usage terms to these Terms and announce them in advance. Digital items used in the app follow the payment rules of the app stores (Google Play, App Store).

14. Responsibility

  1. The operator is not responsible when it cannot provide the Service due to causes beyond its control, such as natural disasters, war, or outages of telecommunications providers.
  2. The operator is not responsible for problems or losses caused by a member's own fault.
  3. Each member is responsible for the content they post.
  4. However, the operator is responsible for losses caused by its intent or negligence, regardless of the items above.

15. Disputes

  1. The operator and members will first try to resolve disputes amicably.
  2. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea. Any lawsuit will be brought in the court that has jurisdiction under Korea's Civil Procedure Act.
  3. If you live outside Korea and the law of your country gives you consumer rights, these Terms do not take those rights away.
