7. A downgrade may result in the loss of certain features or capacity of the account, and the Company is not liable for any loss arising from it.

8. The Company applies the fees and terms of provision posted at the time the Agreement was entered into with the Customer, and will announce in advance, in accordance with Article 3, any change that is unfavorable to the Customer. Changed terms will not be applied retroactively to any Billing Cycle or committed term that has already commenced.

9. Unless the Customer terminates before the end of the Billing Cycle, the Agreement automatically renews for the same Billing Cycle, and renewal fees are billed in accordance with Article 21. For an annual Billing Cycle, the Company will notify the Customer, at the email address registered by the Customer, of the scheduled renewal date, the renewal fee and how to terminate, not less than fifteen (15) and not more than thirty (30) days before the renewal date.

10. Payment inquiries may be submitted to support@morningmate.com.


Article 21 (Payment and Billing)

1. Fees for paid Services are prepaid. The Company bills the fees for each Billing Cycle in advance before that Billing Cycle begins.

2. The Customer pays using the payment methods offered by the Company, and the available methods and procedures are described on the payment screen. The Company processes payments through a payment service provider, and the Customer's payment method information is stored and processed by that payment service provider.

3. If the number of users increases during the term of the Agreement, the Company will bill the additional users in advance, calculated pro rata for the remaining period.

4. AI Credits cannot be applied toward payment of fees and are deducted only when AI Services are used.

5. Upon automatic renewal, the Company bills the renewal fee in advance within a period determined by the Company before the renewal date.

6. If payment of an amount billed in advance fails, the Company will notify the Customer of the payment failure and grant a Grace Period of fourteen (14) days from the payment date.

(a) The Customer may continue to use the paid Service during the Grace Period.

(b) If payment is not completed within the Grace Period, the Customer may no longer use the relevant paid Service, and the Agreement is suspended.

(c) If the Customer completes payment after the Agreement has been suspended, the Agreement is renewed with effect from the date on which payment is completed.

(d) The Company will not charge late fees for any period during which the Service was not provided. However, the handling of outstanding amounts for Services already provided, and any late payment damages, are governed by Applicable Law and the Agreement.

(e) The retention and deletion of Customer Data following suspension are governed by Applicable Law and the Privacy Policy. However, if the Customer uses the Service without a genuine intention to perform the Agreement, such as by repeatedly abusing the Grace Period, the Company may delete that Customer's data after prior notice.

7. If the Customer evades payment of fees by fraudulent means, the Company may claim the amount evaded and compensation for the actual damage suffered by the Company as a result.


Article 22 (Operation of AI Credits)

1. AI Credits are provided and managed as a single pooled balance for each Workspace of the Customer, and are not provided to, or available for purchase by, individual Members.

2. Included AI Credits are renewed monthly; unused Included AI Credits do not roll over and expire at the end of the relevant period. The Company will notify the Customer in advance that credits are due to expire and when.

3. In addition to monthly included credits, the Customer may purchase Add-on Credit Packs for a fee. The validity period, expiry and other terms of use of Add-on Credit Packs are as notified on the Service pricing page or the purchase screen at the time of purchase. However, the validity period of Add-on Credit Packs sold to Customers in Japan will not exceed six (6) months from the date of purchase.

4. Included AI Credits are deducted first, followed by Add-on Credit Packs. If the Company changes the order of deduction to the Customer's disadvantage, the Company will announce the change in advance in accordance with Article 3.

5. If the Company applies a validity period or expiry conditions to Add-on Credit Packs, the Company will notify the Customer of those conditions at the time of purchase, and related matters are governed by Applicable Law.


Article 23 (Termination and Refunds)

1. The Customer may terminate its subscription through the account management page within the Service or by contacting the Company (support@morningmate.com).

2. What happens after a Free Trial ends is governed by Article 11(3), and in that case no fees will be charged.

3. A paid Service on a monthly Billing Cycle cannot be terminated early during the term of the Agreement; the Customer may use it until the end of the Subscription Term already paid for, and it ends upon expiry of that term. In that case, the subscription will not renew for the next Billing Cycle.

4. For a paid Service on an annual Billing Cycle, no refund is provided upon termination during the term of the Agreement. If the Customer requests termination during the term of the Agreement, the Customer may continue to use the Service until the Subscription Term already paid for expires, at which point the subscription ends and does not renew for the next Billing Cycle.

5. Included AI Credits are units of usage included in the Plan and provided without separate purchase, and are therefore not eligible for refund. Add-on Credit Packs separately purchased by the Customer cannot be cancelled for convenience or partially refunded once the purchase is complete, and no separate refund is provided for remaining add-on credits even if the subscription to the Service is terminated or ends. However, where mandatory provisions of Applicable Law provide otherwise, those provisions apply.

6. A downgrade is not grounds for a refund. Plan changes and decreases in the number of users are governed by Article 20(6), and the difference for the Subscription Term already paid for will not be refunded.

7. Service Credits. In the event of a prolonged interruption of the Service, the Company may provide Service Credits to the Customer's account. This is at the Company's discretion and does not give the Customer any right to claim Service Credits.

8. Refund Currency and Fees. Refunds are, in principle, made to the payment method and in the currency used for payment. The Company does not bear any difference arising from exchange rate fluctuations or any refund fees charged by the payment service provider or a financial institution.

9. Mandatory Provisions. The refund restrictions in this Article do not apply to the extent that mandatory provisions of the laws applicable to the Customer do not permit them, and to that extent those laws prevail. Notwithstanding Article 1(3), if the Customer is treated as a consumer under Applicable Law and is granted a statutory right of withdrawal, the Customer may exercise its right of withdrawal within the period and in the manner prescribed by those laws.

10. The Enterprise Plan is governed by the contract documents entered into with the Company.

11. Refunds for Reasons Attributable to the Company. In any of the following cases, the Company will refund, on a pro rata basis, the fees corresponding to the remaining portion of the Subscription Term already paid for:

(a) the Company discontinues all or a material part of a paid Service under Article 19(4);

(b) the Customer does not agree to amended Terms and terminates the Agreement under Article 3(6); or

(c) the Customer terminates the Agreement because the Company is unable to provide the Service normally for reasons attributable to the Company.

12. Notwithstanding paragraphs 3 and 4, a Customer located in the EEA may terminate the Agreement by requesting switching under Article 18(6). In that case, refunds of fees for the Subscription Term already paid for are governed by this Article, except where Applicable Law provides otherwise, in which case Applicable Law applies.

6. The Company has no obligation to intervene in disputes arising through the Service between Customers, or between a Customer and an affiliate or a third party, and is not liable for any damage resulting from such disputes.

7. The disclaimers of warranties and limitations of liability in this Article reflect the allocation of risk between the parties and form a basis for determining the Service fees.

Article 45 (General Provisions)

1. Assignment. The Customer may not assign its position or its rights and obligations under these Terms to any third party without the Company's prior written consent. The Company may assign its position under these Terms to a successor in the event of a merger, demerger, business transfer or similar transaction.

2. Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions will not be affected.

3. No Waiver. A party's failure to exercise any right under these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right.

4. Entire Agreement. Unless there is a separate written agreement, these Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the use of the Service and supersede all prior oral or written agreements (including the morningmate Terms of Service dated July 4, 2022). However, this paragraph does not limit liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

5. Independent Parties. These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture or employment relationship between the parties.


Addendum (Supplementary Provisions)

1. These Terms take effect on November 1, 2026 and supersede the morningmate Terms of Service dated July 4, 2022.

2. At least 31 days before these Terms take effect, the Company will post the full text of the revised Terms on the Service website and applications and will notify the Customer of the effective date and the principal changes by the email address registered by the Customer.

3. Plan Pricing for New Customers. Actual billing of Plan fees for new customers under these Terms will begin on November 1, 2026. No fees will be charged for any period before that date.

4. Transitional Provision for Existing Customers. For existing customers with a paid subscription at the time these Terms take effect, the Plan change criteria and refund criteria of the previous terms will continue to apply until the current Subscription Term expires, and Article 20(6) (Plan Changes) and Article 23 (Termination and Refunds) of these Terms will apply from the time of renewal. Because these Terms do not provide refunds for mid-term termination of annual subscriptions or for downgrades, the Company will expressly notify customers of these changes in the renewal notice.

5. Transitional Provision for Japan. For customers in Japan, all features of the Service will be provided without restriction, regardless of Plan, until the partner's schedule is finalized. Once the partner's schedule is finalized, the Company will announce the date from which fees will apply at least 31 days in advance.

6. Customers and Guests who have been using the Service free of charge since before these Terms take effect are subject to separate guidance provided by the Company.

(a) The Company will notify the Member who generated a link in advance of the transition date and the settings that will apply after the transition.

(b) The Company will ensure that the transition does not broaden the access scope of any File or extend its exposure period beyond what applied previously. Where such a transition is unavoidable, the Company will notify the Member who generated the link individually in advance and give that Member a period in which to adjust the access scope or deactivate the link before the transition.

(c) If the Member takes no action within the period referred to in item (b), the Company will transition the link to settings that are the same as or more restrictive than the previous settings.
