Article 1 (Purpose)

These terms set out the conditions and procedures for using the Archon service (the “Service”) operated by 주식회사 템플러아카이브 (the “Company”), and the rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Company and its users.

Article 2 (Definitions)

  1. “Client” means a user who writes and publishes a development project on the Service and selects a partner’s proposal.
  2. “Partner” means an individual, business or AI-based development provider that submits a development proposal for a published project.
  3. “Escrow” means the client paying the amount of the selected proposal through Toss Payments and the Company holding it until completion is confirmed.

Article 3 (The Company’s role)

The Company is a mail-order intermediary that brokers development service deals between clients and partners; the parties to each development contract are the client and the partner. The Company bears the responsibilities required by law for payment, payout and dispute handling.

Article 4 (The Service)

Writing, publishing and comparing plans and selecting proposals are free. AI-written plans and estimates are for reference; actual prices and timelines follow the partner’s proposal.

  1. AI-written work plans and estimates based on a project description
  2. Publishing work plans, and receiving, comparing and selecting partner proposals
  3. Holding the payment for a selected proposal in escrow and paying the partner after completion is confirmed

Article 5 (Contract formation and service period)

When the client selects a partner’s proposal and completes escrow, a development service contract based on the selected proposal’s scope, price and delivery time is formed between the client and the partner.

The scope and service period follow the selected proposal shown before payment; the service period runs from the day escrow is completed until the delivery time stated in the proposal.

Article 6 (Payment and fees)

  1. The client pays only the amount of the selected proposal; no separate fee is charged to the client.
  2. The platform fee is deducted from the partner’s payout, at the rate applied when the proposal was selected (currently 7%), fixed for that contract.
  3. Payment can be made with the methods Toss Payments provides (card, bank transfer, virtual account, easy pay and others).
  4. Once escrow is completed, the client’s and the partner’s contact details are shared with each other.

Article 7 (Completion review and payout)

  1. When development is finished, the partner requests a completion review. The client reviews the deliverables and completion criteria and either confirms completion or requests revisions.
  2. If neither confirmation nor a revision request is made within 7 days (168 hours) of the completion request, completion is confirmed automatically at the next daily processing after the deadline. This is a review response deadline, separate from any statutory withdrawal period.
  3. After completion is confirmed and payout conditions such as payout account registration and identity verification are met, the payout is requested in the automatic processing at 10:00 KST on bank business days. Account checks, an insufficient payable balance, or payment or payout errors can delay it until resolved; the current status is shown on the Service.

Article 8 (Payment cancellation and refunds)

  1. Before a virtual-account deposit, the client can ask to cancel the issued account with “Change payment method” on the payment screen. After the deposit deadline, a new payment can be made once the cancellation result is confirmed; if the deposit is confirmed first, the refund procedure below applies.
  2. A client covered by the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce can request withdrawal within 7 days of receiving the written contract terms or, if the service starts later, within 7 days of the start. Restrictions on withdrawing from services already started apply only when the statutory requirements are met, and not to any part of a divisible service that has not yet been provided.
  3. If the service differs from its labeling, advertising or the contract, withdrawal can be requested within 3 months of supply and within 30 days of the day the client knew or could have known of it.
  4. A minor or their legal representative may cancel a contract entered into without the legal representative’s consent.
  5. Withdrawals and other refund requests are received through customer service (email or phone). The Company reviews the reason, whether services have been provided, the applicable laws and the individual contract to determine whether and how much to refund. Statutory withdrawal and refunds are not made conditional on the Company’s discretionary approval or the partner’s consent.
  6. Where a full refund applies, the full payment is cancelled and no cancellation fee is deducted.
  7. When a withdrawal takes effect, the payment is refunded within 3 business days of the withdrawal, and late refunds bear statutory delay interest. For card and similar payments, the Company asks the payment provider to stop or cancel the charge without delay; when it appears on the card statement depends on the card issuer.
  8. Refunds are made by cancelling the original payment. For virtual-account payments, the refund is made after confirming the refund account; the Company does not store the full refund account number in the Service database.
  9. Once completion is confirmed, the partner payout process begins. Completion confirmation or payout alone does not limit statutory rights to cancellation, refunds or damages for performance that differs from the contract, non-performance, duplicate payments and similar cases; such requests can be made through customer service.
  10. Duplicate payments or overpayments are returned once confirmed.

Article 9 (User obligations)

Users must not use others’ information or register false information, and must follow the law and these terms. Partners must provide services in good faith within the scope and delivery time of the selected proposal.

Article 10 (Dispute resolution)

When a complaint or dispute is received, the Company checks the facts and informs the user of the outcome. Users may apply for dispute mediation to the Korea Consumer Agency or other relevant bodies. Korean law governs these terms and the use of the Service.

Article 11 (Changes to these terms)

The Company may change these terms within the limits of the law, announcing changes on the Service 7 days before they take effect (30 days for changes unfavorable to users).

Addendum

These terms take effect on October 15, 2026.
