Chapter 1. General Provisions
Article 1 (Purpose)
These Terms set out the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of NFTIME Inc. (the “Company”) and its Members, and other necessary matters, regarding the use of Certi and all related services (the “Service”) provided by the Company.
Article 2 (Definitions)
The terms used in these Terms are defined as follows.
“Company”: NFTIME Inc.
“Service”: all digital badge issuance, verification, and management platform services under the Certi brand provided by the Company (the “User Service” and the “Admin Service”).
“Member”: a person who has entered into a service agreement with the Company under these Terms and uses the Service, referring collectively to “User Members” and “Admin Members.”
“User Member” (badge holder): an individual who signs up for the “User Service” to receive, store, manage, view, and share digital badges.
“Admin Member” (badge issuer): an organization, group, or individual that signs up for the “Admin Service,” registers an organization, creates “Programs” and “Digital Badges,” and issues “Digital Badges” to specific persons (such as “User Members”).
“Digital Badge”: digital credential information that an “Admin Member” creates and issues to certify a “User Member’s” specific skills, achievements, qualifications, course completion, or similar.
“Program”: a data unit in which an “Admin Member” registers information about the activity on which “Digital Badge” issuance is based (such as a course, event, competition, or contest).
“Paid Service”: a service that an “Admin Member” uses by paying a fee to the “Company” (e.g., monthly subscription plans or additional badge issuance credits).
“Posts”: all information and data that Members post on the Service, including “Program” information and “Digital Badge” designs and information (earning criteria, descriptions, etc.) registered by “Admin Members,” and “Portfolio” links and related metadata that “User Members” connect to the “Service.”
Article 3 (Posting and Amendment of the Terms)
The Company posts these Terms on the Service’s initial screen or a linked screen so that Members can easily review them.
The Company may amend these Terms to the extent that doing so does not violate applicable laws, including the Act on the Regulation of Terms and Conditions, the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, and the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce.
When the Company amends the Terms, it will announce the effective date and the reasons for the amendment, together with the current Terms, in the manner described in Paragraph 1, from 7 days before the effective date until the day before it. However, if the amendment is unfavorable to Members, the Company will announce it with a grace period of at least 30 days.
If the Company announces amended Terms under the preceding paragraph and clearly states that Members who do not express their intention within a certain period will be deemed to have agreed, and a Member does not explicitly refuse, the Member is deemed to have agreed to the amended Terms.
If a Member does not agree to the amended Terms, the Company cannot apply them to that Member, and the Member may terminate the service agreement.
Article 4 (Matters Not Covered by These Terms)
Matters not set out in these Terms and the interpretation of these Terms are governed by applicable laws, including the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, the Act on the Regulation of Terms and Conditions, and the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, or by commercial practice.
The Company may establish separate terms of use or operating policies for individual services within the “Service”; if they conflict with these Terms, the terms or operating policies of the individual service prevail.
Chapter 2. Membership and Account Management
Article 5 (Formation of the Service Agreement)
The service agreement is formed when a person who wishes to use the “Service” (an “Applicant”) fills in member information in the sign-up form set by the Company, indicates agreement to these Terms, and the Company accepts the application.
Sign-up for “User Members” and “Admin Members” may proceed separately through the “User Service” and the “Admin Service.”
When an “Admin Member” applies, the Company may require a separate verification process or documents to confirm that the organization exists.
The Company may withhold or refuse acceptance of an application in any of the following cases:
The Applicant previously lost membership under these Terms (unless the Company has approved re-registration)
The application does not use the Applicant’s real name or uses another person’s name
False information is entered, or information requested by the Company is not entered
The organization information for an “Admin Member” is false or the organization does not exist
Approval is impossible for reasons attributable to the Applicant, or the application violates other requirements
There is insufficient capacity in the service facilities, or there are technical or operational problems
Article 6 (Changes to Member Information)
Members may view and edit their personal information at any time through the “My Info” or “Account Settings” screen in the Service.
If any information provided at sign-up changes, Members must update it online without delay or notify the Company of the change.
Members are responsible for any disadvantage arising from failure to update the changes under Paragraph 2.
Article 7 (Withdrawal and Suspension of Membership)
Members may request termination of the service agreement at any time through the withdrawal function in the Service, and the Company will process it immediately as required by applicable laws.
[Important] If an “Admin Member” withdraws, verification of the “Digital Badges” issued by that “Admin Member” and viewing of those badges by “User Members” may be interrupted or become impossible. The Company bears no separate liability for this. However, the expiration of an “Admin Member’s” paid service period, cancellation of a subscription, or non-renewal of a contract is distinct from withdrawal under this Article. The handling of previously issued digital badges after the expiration of a paid service period, cancellation of a subscription, or non-renewal of a contract is governed by Article 17.
The Company may restrict or suspend membership if a Member falls under any of the following:
Registering false information when applying
Failing to pay, when due, the fees for a “Paid Service” or other debts the Member owes in connection with use of the “Service”
Threatening the order of electronic commerce, such as interfering with others’ use of the “Service” or stealing their information
Using the “Service” to engage in acts prohibited by law or these Terms, or contrary to public order and morals
Seriously violating Article 20 (Obligations of Admin Members) or Article 22 (Obligations of User Members)
If, after the Company suspends membership, the same act is repeated two or more times or the cause is not corrected within 30 days, the Company may terminate the membership.
When the Company terminates membership, it deletes the member registration. In this case, the Company notifies the Member and gives the Member an opportunity to explain, with a period of at least 30 days, before deleting the registration.
Chapter 3. Use of the Service
Article 8 (Provision and Changes of the Service)
The Company provides the following services to Members:
For “Admin Members”: program registration and management, digital badge creation and design, recipient management, digital badge issuance and delivery (KakaoTalk, email), an issuance statistics dashboard, and more
For “User Members”: receiving and storing digital badges, viewing and managing badges, portfolio integration, and sharing digital badges externally (link creation, LinkedIn integration, etc.)
Additional services: AI-based personalized recommendations based on the digital badges a member holds
Any other services the Company additionally develops or provides to Members through partnerships
Where there is a reasonable cause (such as changes in technical specifications or the launch of new services), the Company may change all or part of the services it provides for operational or technical reasons.
If the content, method of use, or hours of the Service change, the Company will post the reasons for the change, the content of the changed service, and the date of provision on the Service’s notice screen before the change.
Article 9 (Suspension of the Service)
The Company may temporarily suspend the Service in the event of maintenance, inspection, replacement, or failure of computers or other information and communications equipment, communication outages, or other substantial operational reasons.
In this case, the Company will in principle notify Members in advance. However, if there are unavoidable reasons that prevent advance notice, the Company may notify Members afterward.
The Company is not liable for damage suffered by Members due to a temporary suspension of the Service for the reasons in Paragraph 1, unless caused by the Company’s intent or negligence.
Article 10 (Provision of Information and Advertising)
The Company may provide Members with various information it considers necessary while they use the Service (such as service operations, personalized recommendations, events, and advertising) through notices, email, KakaoTalk notification messages, and other means.
Members may refuse to receive such information at any time, except for transaction-related information required by law and responses to customer inquiries.
The Company may display advertising on service screens, the website, email, and other channels in connection with operating the Service.
Chapter 4. Paid Services
Article 11 (Types and Content of Paid Services)
1. The Company may provide paid subscription plans (e.g., Mini, Basic, Pro, and Enterprise) and other paid services to “Admin Members.”
2. The specific content, fees, and inclusions of paid services (monthly badge issuance credits, number of accounts that can be invited, features provided, etc.) are announced separately on the ‘Pricing’ or ‘Plans’ page of the Service website and form part of these Terms.
3. The types of paid services provided by the Company are as follows:
a. Recurring subscription: a service whose fee is automatically renewed and charged on a monthly or annual basis
b. Fixed-term pass: a service paid once in advance for the usage period selected by the “Admin Member,” without automatic renewal
c. Additional credits: badge issuance credits purchased by quantity, separate from the credits included in a plan
4. All fees announced by the Company include value-added tax.
Article 12 (Application and Payment)
1. An “Admin Member” applies for a paid service by selecting it in the Service and paying the fee using a payment method provided by the Company (credit card, bank transfer, etc.).
2. Fees for paid services are paid in advance. Recurring subscriptions renew automatically every billing cycle until canceled; fixed-term passes and additional credits do not renew automatically. A single payment for additional credits may not exceed the limit announced by the Company on the payment screen.
3. Once an “Admin Member’s” payment is completed, the Company makes the paid service available without delay, unless a separate service start date is set under Paragraph 6.
4. For recurring subscriptions, the Company shows the amount charged, the billing cycle, whether the subscription renews automatically, the next scheduled payment date, and how to cancel on the screen before payment, and obtains the “Admin Member’s” consent.
5. An “Admin Member” may cancel automatic renewal at any time on the [Organization Settings > Subscription & Billing] screen in the Service. The Company does not design the cancellation process to be more difficult than the sign-up process.
6. The Company and an “Admin Member” may set a payment date different from the service start date. In this case, the usage period, credit grants, and refund calculations start from the service start date.
7. If the Company changes its fees, fees for billing cycles and usage periods in progress do not change. Increased fees apply from the next renewal only if the Company announces the increase, along with the conditions and methods for cancellation and termination, within 30 days before the increase takes effect and obtains the “Admin Member’s” explicit consent; the Company does not automatically charge increased fees to an “Admin Member” who has not consented. If an “Admin Member” does not consent, the service agreement expires at the end of the current billing cycle (or usage period) without automatic renewal, and the Company gives notice of this at least 30 days before the scheduled expiration.
8. If a renewal payment for a recurring subscription fails, the Company may notify the “Admin Member” without delay and provide instructions for repayment within a reasonable period. If payment is not completed within that period, the subscription is treated as not renewed.
Article 13 (Badge Issuance Credits)
1. Credits are in-service usage units used for the Service, such as issuing digital badges; they are not cash or cash equivalents and are not displayed as a balance in Korean won. Credits may be used only within the organization to which they were granted or by which they were purchased, and may not be transferred, lent, gifted, or pledged between members or organizations.
2. Credits are granted as follows:
a. Welcome credits: granted free of charge once, when an account first creates its own organization
b. Plan credits: granted monthly based on the service start date of the paid service. Even for annual subscriptions and fixed-term passes of 12 months or more, the total is not granted in advance but monthly
c. Purchased additional credits: granted once after payment is completed
3. Each credit is valid for 12 months from the date it is granted (for purchased additional credits, the purchase date), and credits past their validity period expire. The usage period and refundable period of purchased additional credits are limited to one year from the time of payment. The Company informs Members of this by displaying, on the service screen, the credit balance and the quantity and scheduled expiration date of the credits expiring soonest.
4. Credits are deducted starting from the grants with the earliest expiration date; if expiration dates are the same, the earlier grant is deducted first. There is no upper limit on the credit balance.
5. One credit is deducted for each successful badge issuance. No credits are deducted for failed issuances, duplicate requests, or automatic retries by the Company’s system, or for verifying, viewing, or downloading badges already issued.
6. Even after a subscription is canceled or a usage period expires, credits already granted remain until the validity period of each grant, and use of the basic issuance function with valid credits is not obstructed, notwithstanding Article 17(1). However, the unused portion of the following credits expires when the corresponding refund amount is finalized, and credit use may also be restricted if use of the Service is restricted for a violation of Article 7(3) or Articles 20 and 21.
a. Credits granted or purchased through a payment that was withdrawn
b. In the case of Article 15(2)(b) (immediate cancellation of a monthly subscription), plan credits granted for that billing cycle
c. In the case of Article 15(3) (early termination of an annual subscription or fixed-term pass), plan credits granted for the last incomplete month
7. Refundability of credits is as follows:
a. Purchased additional credits: an “Admin Member” may request a refund, at the purchase unit price, for the unused balance of that purchase (the quantity reflecting the deduction order in Paragraph 4), and the Company will refund accordingly. Because of the deduction order, the refundable balance may differ from the usage a member perceives, and the Company announces this on the purchase screen.
b. Welcome credits and plan credits: these are provided free of charge or included in the plan fee, have no separate refund value per credit, and are not individually refundable. Refunds of plan fees are governed by Articles 14 and 15.
c. Credits expired after their validity period: not refundable.
d. If a member withdraws with unused purchased additional credits, the Company will guide the member through the refund request process under Item a before processing the withdrawal.
Article 14 (Withdrawal of Subscription)
1. In accordance with the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, an “Admin Member” may withdraw a subscription within 7 days from the later of the payment date and the date the service becomes available (or, if a separate service start date is set under Article 12(6), that start date).
2. The refund upon withdrawal is the payment amount minus a deduction equal to the sum of the following. Amounts under one won in the deduction are discarded, and the deduction may not exceed the payment amount. Only credits granted or purchased through the payment being withdrawn and actually used are deducted; free credits such as welcome credits, and credits used from other payments, are not deducted.
a. Used purchased additional credits: quantity used × purchase unit price
b. Used plan credits: monthly fee of the plan × quantity used ÷ number of credits provided per month
3. If withdrawal is restricted, the Company will indicate this before payment. Withdrawal may be restricted where a statutory ground for restriction applies; even in this case, withdrawal for any unused portion is not obstructed.
Article 15 (Early Termination and Refunds)
1. A termination or refund request received within the withdrawal period under Article 14(1) is processed as a withdrawal. If the refund under this Article is less than the refund under Article 14, Article 14 applies.
2. Cancellation of a monthly subscription is as follows:
a. (Cancellation at period end) If automatic renewal is canceled, the Service can be used until the end of the current billing cycle, no charge is made from the next cycle, and the fee for the current cycle is not refunded.
b. (Immediate cancellation) If an “Admin Member” requests immediate cancellation and a refund using the method in Article 16(1) (including contacting customer support), the refund is the monthly fee minus a deduction. The deduction is the monthly fee multiplied by the greater of [days elapsed ÷ days in the billing cycle] and [plan credits used out of those granted for that cycle ÷ credits provided per month] (amounts under one won discarded), and may not exceed the monthly fee. The unused portion of plan credits granted for that cycle expires under Article 13(6).
3. The refund for early termination of an annual subscription or fixed-term pass follows this formula: Refund = payment amount − (regular monthly fee × number of full months elapsed) − regular monthly fee × the greater of {[days elapsed in the last incomplete month ÷ days in that month] and [plan credits used out of those granted in that month ÷ credits provided per month]} (amounts under one won in the deduction are discarded)
a. “Regular monthly fee” means the monthly payment amount for the plan announced by the Company at the time of payment for the paid service. Discounts applied to annual payments and fixed-term passes of 12 months or more are settled under this formula.
b. Periods are counted from the service start date.
c. If the refund calculated under the formula is zero or less, no refund is made, and the Company does not charge the shortfall.
d. The Company does not charge a separate penalty for refunds under this Article.
e. Upon termination, plan credits for months not yet granted are no longer granted, and credits already granted are governed by Article 13(6).
4. Refunds of additional credits follow Article 13(7)(a), and the refund is the unused balance multiplied by the purchase unit price.
5. Plan changes are settled as follows:
a. An upgrade takes effect immediately; only the fee difference for the remainder of the current grant cycle is charged on a prorated basis, and the difference in credit entitlement is granted at the same rate.
b. A downgrade takes effect from the next renewal date; the fee for the current cycle and credits already granted are neither refunded nor reclaimed.
c. Changes to the billing cycle (switching between monthly and annual) take effect from the next renewal date.
d. Fixed-term passes do not renew automatically and therefore do not offer scheduled changes; if needed, a member may terminate early under Paragraph 3 and repurchase.
6. If an “Admin Member” could not use the Service for reasons attributable to the Company, the Company will refund an amount corresponding to that period or extend the usage period, regardless of the standards in this Article. If applicable laws or the Consumer Dispute Resolution Standards are more favorable to the member, they apply.
Article 16 (Refund Procedures)
1. An “Admin Member” may request cancellation and a refund through the [Organization Settings > Subscription & Billing] screen in the Service, customer support (Channel Talk), or the contact details announced by the Company.
2. Refund deadlines are as follows:
a. Withdrawal under Article 14: the Company refunds within 3 business days from the date the “Admin Member” expresses the intention to withdraw, and pays late-payment compensation as prescribed by law if the refund is delayed.
b. Other refunds, such as for early termination: the Company informs the member whether a refund applies and of the amount within 3 business days of receiving the request, and, absent special circumstances, returns the confirmed refund within 3 business days of that notice by canceling the charge on the original payment method or by reimbursement. If the return takes time due to the nature of the payment method or the original payment cannot be canceled, the Company will explain the reason, the alternative refund method, and the expected timeframe.
3. Credit grants for which a refund request has been received may be restricted from use until the refund is completed or the request is withdrawn.
4. If an “Admin Member” files a chargeback through a payment processor or card company without just cause and the payment is recovered, the Company may stop granting the credits corresponding to that payment and providing paid features, and will restore them if the Company’s claim is upheld in the chargeback process. Verification and recipient downloads of digital badges already properly issued are maintained under Article 17.
Article 17 (Handling of Issued Digital Badges After Paid Services End)
1. If an “Admin Member’s” paid service period expires, or the subscription is canceled or not renewed, or the contract is not renewed, the Company may restrict or stop that “Admin Member’s” registration of new programs, creation and issuance of digital badges, recipient management, viewing of issuance statistics, use of admin features, and provision of technical support and maintenance. However, use of the basic issuance function with valid credits is governed by Article 13(6).
2. Even in the case of the preceding paragraph, “Digital Badges” properly issued during the paid service period are not deleted, revoked, or invalidated solely because the paid service ended, the subscription was canceled or not renewed, or the contract was not renewed.
3. The Company may maintain basic verification functions, such as verification pages, share links, and QR codes, to the extent necessary so that “User Members” and third parties can view or verify basic information about previously issued digital badges, such as the fact of issuance, the issuer, the issue date, and the badge name.
4. However, if a digital badge involves false issuance, impersonation of an organization, issuance without authority, infringement of third-party rights, violation of law, a personal information request, a legitimate deletion request from a User Member, a serious security reason, or a violation of Article 20, 21, or 22, the Company may make the digital badge or its verification page private, or restrict, delete, invalidate, or revoke it.
5. The scope and method of maintaining verification functions for previously issued digital badges are governed by applicable laws, the Privacy Policy, individual contracts, operating policies, and the technical and operational conditions of the Service.
