Terms of Service
Executive Summary
These terms of service (the “Terms”) are an
agreement between Huniverse Global Co., Ltd. (“Huniverse”, the “Provider”,
“we”, “us” or “our”) and you (the “Customer” or “you”) (each a “Party”,
together the “Parties”) that govern your use of the Service (as defined below).
By signing up to use the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. You
represent that you are lawfully able to enter into contracts and, if you are
signing up on behalf of a practice, clinic, hospital or other organization,
that you have legal authority to bind that organization, which shall then be
the Customer. These Terms incorporate the Privacy Policy and any other policies
the Provider makes available in writing or on medipencil.com (the “Website”).
1. The Service
1.1 Definition
of the Service. The Provider provides MEDIPENCIL, a software-as-a-service
solution (the “Service”) that converts audio recorded during clinical
consultations (“Voice Data”) into draft text (“Converted Text”) to support the
preparation of clinical documentation. Converted Text is reviewed by the
Customer and transferred to the Customer’s electronic medical records system or
other systems (the “Customer Systems”). The Service includes access to the
MEDIPENCIL web, desktop and mobile applications (the “App”), security updates,
technical support and related documentation. The Provider may introduce new
products, modules or functions as part of the Service from time to time.
1.2 Developer.
The Service is built on the Dr.Pencil solution developed by KaiLab Co., Ltd.
(“KaiLab” or the “Developer”) and licensed to the Provider.
1.3 Users.
The Service may be used by the Customer and by individuals authorized by the
Customer, each holding their own login credentials (each a “User”). The
Customer is responsible for the use of the Service by its Users and for their
compliance with these Terms.
1.4 Intended
Use. The Service is intended solely for qualified healthcare professionals
and healthcare organizations acting in the course of their professional
activity, and not for patients or the general public.
1.5 Territory.
These Terms apply to Customers located in EU/EEA
region. Customers located in the Republic of Korea are
subject to separate terms published for that market.
1.6 Order
of Precedence. Where the Parties have entered into a separate written
agreement signed by both Parties in respect of the Service, that agreement
shall prevail over these Terms to the extent of any conflict.
2. Accounts and Eligibility
2.1 The Customer shall complete the
Provider’s registration process and shall provide and maintain accurate and
up-to-date information. Each User must be a qualified healthcare professional
or a person authorized by a healthcare organization to use the Service on its
behalf.
2.2 Accounts are personal to each User and
shall not be transferred, lent or shared. Each User shall keep their login
credentials confidential and maintain control of the devices used to access the
Service.
2.3 Where the Customer is an organization,
it shall promptly revoke the access of any User who no longer requires it.
2.4 The Customer shall notify the Provider
immediately upon becoming aware of any unauthorized use of an account. The

credentials secure, except where such loss is attributable to the Provider.

obtaining a suitable device and internet connection to use the Service.
3. Support and Changes to the Service
3.1 The Provider provides technical support
during business hours at contact@medipencil.com and shall use reasonable
efforts to maintain and update the Service so that it remains functional and
secure. Where planned maintenance will materially interrupt the Service, the
Provider shall give advance notice where reasonably possible.

technical or operational reasons. Where a modification materially and adversely
affects the Customer’s use of the Service, the Provider shall give at least
thirty (30) days’ notice.

developed and maintained by the Developer under a partnership agreement with
the Provider. Functions may change or be discontinued as a result of the
Developer’s technical circumstances, in which case the Provider shall give
advance notice where reasonably possible.
3.4 The Service is not a medical records or
electronic health records system. The Customer is responsible for reviewing
Converted Text and transferring it to the Customer Systems.
3.5 The scope, functions and language
support of the Service may differ by country, and the Service may not be
available in every country.
4. Amendments to These Terms
4.1 The Provider may amend these Terms
where necessary to reflect changes in the Service, applicable law or the
Provider’s operations. The Provider shall give at least thirty (30) days’
notice of any amendment by email and on the Website, setting out the changes
and their effective date.
4.2 A Customer that does not accept an
amendment may terminate their Subscription before the amendment takes effect.
Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of
the amendment.
5. Fees and Payment
5.1 The Provider offers free and paid
plans. Features, limits and pricing may vary by country and may change in
accordance with clause 5.6.
5.2 The Customer shall pay all amounts due
under its plan, including subscription and usage fees (“Fees”), when it
subscribes to a recurring paid plan (a “Subscription”), exceeds the limits of a
free plan or uses paid features. Fees, the billing cycle and available payment
methods are displayed before purchase, and no charge is made until the Customer
has confirmed them. Subscription fees are billed in advance for each billing
cycle selected by the Customer (a “Subscription Period”). Invoices and statements
are provided electronically.
5.3 Fees include applicable taxes unless
otherwise stated. Where taxes are not included, the Customer is responsible for
any tax payable in its country.
5.4 Payment shall be made by credit or
debit card or by any other method made available by the Provider. The Customer
authorizes the Provider to charge the payment method on file for Fees as they
fall due, including on automatic renewal, and shall keep its payment details
current. Currency conversion is handled by the Customer’s payment provider, and
the Provider is not responsible for any conversion rates or fees applied by the
Customer’s bank or card issuer.
5.5 Subscriptions renew automatically at
the end of each Subscription Period unless canceled. The Provider shall notify
the Customer of the renewal date and the amount payable at least seven (7) days
before each renewal. The Customer may cancel renewal at any time under clause

or convert a free feature into a paid feature, without giving at least thirty
(30) days’ notice and obtaining the Customer’s express consent. If the Customer
does not consent, the Subscription shall end at the end of the current
Subscription Period and any feature converted to a paid feature shall cease to
be available to the Customer.

termination under clause 14. The Provider may charge interest on overdue
amounts at the rate provided by applicable law.

Before sign-up, the Provider shall inform the Customer of the duration of the
trial, whether it converts to a paid Subscription, the amount payable on
conversion and the method of cancellation.

paid Subscription, the Provider shall notify the Customer of the conversion
date and the amount payable before the first charge is made. The Customer may
cancel at any time during the trial without charge
7. Cancellation and Refunds
7.1 The Customer may cancel a Subscription
at any time through its account settings or by email to contact@medipencil.com.
Cancellation stops future renewals and takes effect at the end of the current
Subscription Period, until which the Customer retains access. Except as set out
in clauses 7.2 and 7.3 or as required by applicable law, Fees are
non-refundable.
7.2 The Customer may request a full refund
of its first paid purchase within fourteen (14) days of the first payment,
provided that the Service has not been used under the Customer’s account. “Use”
means opening the App and pressing Start at least once, whether or not the
recording is completed or converted into text; logging in, viewing screens or
changing settings does not constitute use. This right may be exercised once per
Customer and does not apply to renewals, to a Subscription started after a previous
Subscription was canceled or lapsed, or to unused time remaining in a
Subscription Period. Refunds are subject to verification of purchase and usage
history. Requests shall be made by email to contact@medipencil.com.

discontinues the Service, or the Customer terminates these Terms under clause
3.2, the Provider shall refund the Fees for the unused portion of the current

of any personal data breach, and provide reasonable assistance to the Customer
in responding to patient requests.

Service. The Provider shall inform the Customer of any intended addition or
replacement of a sub-processor, and the Customer may object by terminating
