NEWSORI Terms of Service

• Effective date: 9 November 2026
• Amended: effective 10 November 2026 (Article 6(2). Before the amendment: "The Service currently runs as a closed beta: new accounts can be created only with e-mail addresses we have invited.")
• This English version is a translation; the Korean version governs.

Key points at a glance

• The Service is free and has no advertising. You must be 14 or older to sign up and 19 or older to upload tracks (Article 5). For now only creators we have invited can upload tracks (Article 6).
• Rights in the tracks you upload stay with you as the creator. We use them only as far as needed to run the Service, and that use ends when you delete them or make them private (Article 10).
• The AI information on a track is declared by its creator, who is responsible for it. Tracks we made ourselves with AI are labelled "Made by NEWSORI", and we are responsible for them (Articles 7-2 and 11).
• Copying of published tracks cannot be prevented technically, and deleting a track does not recall copies already obtained (Article 12).
• Breaching these terms or the Content Policy can lead to tracks being taken down or the account being suspended, and you can object (Article 15).
• We compensate damage we cause intentionally or negligently (Article 18). You can close your account in Settings at any time (Article 16).

Chapter 1. General

Article 1. Purpose

These terms set out the rights, duties, responsibilities and procedures between Eazler Inc. (주식회사 이즐러, "we") and users of NEWSORI (뉴소리), our service for listening to and sharing AI music (the "Service").

Article 2. Definitions

• "User": anyone using the Service under these terms, including "visitors" who listen to public music without signing in and "members" who have an account.
• "Creator": a member who creates an artist profile and uploads tracks.
• "Content": everything users upload or write on the Service: audio, cover images, pictures, track details, lyrics and translations, AI and rights declarations, albums, playlists, comments, profiles and links.
• "AI declaration": what a creator declares for each track about AI involvement, the tools used, human contribution, licence, use of voices and similar matters. We do not verify creators' declarations (for tracks made by NEWSORI, see Article 7-2).
• "Review": our check of a track before it can become public.
• "Track made by NEWSORI": a track we made ourselves with AI tools and published under the name of an artist we operate.

Article 3. Posting and changing these terms

1. We post these terms in the Service (on the sign-in screen and through the site's policy links) so that users can read, save and print them at any time. We point out the important parts plainly (the content licence, restrictions of use, limits of liability and the like) in "Key points at a glance" at the start of these terms.
2. We may change these terms within the law. We announce the change, its reason and its effective date in the Service at least 7 days before it takes effect, or 30 days for changes that are unfavourable to users or material, and we also notify members individually of unfavourable or material changes through in-Service notifications.
3. A user who does not accept a change may close their account before it takes effect. We treat silence as acceptance only if our notice clearly said that not objecting by the effective date counts as acceptance.

Article 4. Other rules

Matters not covered here follow the Content Policy, the Privacy Policy, applicable law and commercial custom. The Content Policy forms part of these terms.

Chapter 2. Agreement and accounts

Article 5. Minimum age and protection of minors

1. Only people aged 14 or older may create an account. People signing up confirm on the sign-in screen that they are 14 or older. We do not accept accounts of children under 14 and delete any we become aware of.
2. Only members aged 19 or older may upload tracks. Creators confirm that they are 19 or older when making a track's AI and rights declaration.
3. Listening to public music without signing in is open to all ages.
4. We do not publish tracks that may be harmful to minors (tracks whose creator declared explicit content such as sexual or violent lyrics). Before publishing such tracks we will put in place the labelling and age verification that the law requires (Content Policy section 8).
5. Users in other countries must also meet any higher age their country's law sets for signing up.

Article 6. Sign-up and accounts

1. Members sign up by signing in with a Google account and may add passkeys afterwards. We may change the sign-in methods offered in the Service and will announce it first.
2. For now only creators we have invited can upload tracks. To join as a creator, you can ask us at help@newsori.com.
3. Uploading needs an account with a verified e-mail address; anonymous uploads are not possible.
4. Members must keep their account secure and must not let others use it. Tell us at once if your account has been taken over.
5. A member may create up to 10 artist profiles (pen names or separate projects) under one account and is responsible for all artist profiles of their account and their content. Restrictions, repeat-infringer measures and suspension apply to the account and so to all its artist profiles. Handles follow the Service's rules (no reserved names, one change per 30 days), and handles or names that could be mistaken for another person or organisation are not allowed.
6. We may refuse a sign-up or later end the agreement if someone used another person's details, was previously banned permanently for breaching these terms, or is under 14.

Chapter 3. The Service

Article 7. What the Service offers

1. We offer: searching and listening to public music; social features such as likes, follows, playlists and comments; listening history and recommendations; uploading and publishing by creators; embeds on other sites; and connecting AI assistants.
2. The Service is currently free and carries no advertising. Any paid feature would come with separate terms and advance notice, and nobody is charged without agreeing.
3. The Service offers no downloads; tracks are streamed within the Service. Because of the nature of files sent over the internet, however, we cannot technically prevent copying (Article 12).
4. Public play counts, charts and recommendations are built only from recorded use; we never invent popularity or usage numbers. Tracks made by NEWSORI are counted by the same standard.

Article 7-2. Tracks made by NEWSORI

1. The Service includes tracks we made ourselves with AI tools, which we publish under several artist names. These artists are not real people; they are fictional artists we operate.
2. Tracks made by NEWSORI and the pages of their artists are labelled "Made by NEWSORI". The AI information for these tracks is stated by us, and we are responsible for its content.
3. We decide ourselves whether to publish a track made by NEWSORI. Once published, it is subject to the same reporting and copyright infringement notice procedures as any other track.

Article 8. Changes and interruptions

1. We may change all or part of the Service for operational or technical reasons, and give 30 days' notice of material changes that are unfavourable to users.
2. We may suspend the Service temporarily for maintenance, outages, a service provider's interruption or similar unavoidable reasons, and give notice afterwards when we could not before.
3. To end the Service as a whole we give 30 days' notice, and during that period members can download their information with "Download my data". If a creator asks, we explain within that period how to get back the original files they uploaded.

Article 9. Connecting AI assistants

1. A member may connect an AI assistant app by signing in with their own account and granting explicit permission. A connection can be removed in Settings at any time.
2. A connected app acts for the member only within the permission granted. It can submit tracks for review, publish, unpublish or delete tracks, delete albums and make AI and rights declarations only if the member granted it that permission and only while the member has delegation turned on in Settings. Delegation is off by default, turning it on needs a recent sign-in and the member's explicit agreement, and it can be turned off in Settings at any time. No app can approve or change a review result.
3. What a connected app does counts as the member's own action. An app's name is the name the app gives itself; we have not verified it. Connect only apps you trust. Damage caused by our intent or negligence remains governed by Article 18.
4. An AI or rights declaration an app makes while delegation is on is treated as the member's own declaration, and the member is responsible for its content. Turning delegation off does not by itself withdraw declarations already filed or tracks already public.

Chapter 4. Content

Article 10. Rights in content and the licence to us

1. Rights in content uploaded by users stay with the user (or the original rights holder). We take no ownership of content.
2. To the extent of the rights they hold, users grant us a non-exclusive, free, worldwide licence to use their content as far as needed to operate and provide the Service, including: storage and backup; conversion to the playback format (AAC); resizing cover images; public transmission and streaming through the Service and its embed player; preview clips; display in search, recommendations, charts and share-link previews; and review and moderation.
3. We may sublicense this only to our service providers (Privacy Policy section 6) as far as needed to run the Service. We do not sell content or use it in advertising, and we do not use it to train AI models without the user's separate consent. Using content for promotion outside the Service needs the creator's separate consent.
4. The licence ends for a piece of content when the user deletes it or makes it private, except for: records kept for legal reasons or disputes (for the periods in Privacy Policy section 3); copies left in recovery records until they are deleted after the set period; files of a deleted track until they are deleted after the set period (30 days); and copies we cannot recall, such as notifications other users have already received or caches.
5. Other users may listen to content for personal enjoyment within the Service and share it using the Service's features (playlists, share links, embeds). Any other copying, distribution or commercial use needs the rights holder's permission. Where a creator has marked a track with a licence (for example CC BY-NC), it may be used within that licence.
6. Naming another track as the source of a remix, cover or sample credits it; it does not grant any right to use the original. The original's creator can refuse or remove such links to their track.

Article 11. Creators' confirmations and warranties

A creator who uploads a track confirms and warrants that:

1. they are 19 or older;
2. they have the right to upload and publicly transmit the track, its cover and lyrics on the Service; for a track made with an AI tool, that tool's terms and plan allow such publication and distribution;
3. if the track copies or imitates a real person's voice, that person has authorised it and the creator has submitted evidence of the authorisation;
4. the AI declaration and other track details are true; they are shown as "declared by the uploader, not verified by NEWSORI";
5. they follow the Content Policy.

If a third party makes a claim against us because a creator breached these confirmations, the creator resolves it at their own responsibility and cost and compensates our loss, except to the extent our own intent or negligence contributed.

Article 12. Publishing, unpublishing and copies

1. Every track uploaded by a creator is reviewed before it becomes public (for tracks made by NEWSORI, see Article 7-2). Passing review does not guarantee that it stays public.
2. Creators can make their tracks private or delete them at any time. We then delete the public file and ask the delivery network (CDN) to purge its cache (target: within 15 minutes).
3. We cannot prevent copying of published tracks. Unpublishing or deleting does not recall copies that others have already downloaded or that are stored in browsers or other services. Signed addresses or tokens are not copy protection either.

Article 13. Infringement notices and takedown

1. Anyone who believes their copyright is infringed can ask us to stop the copying and transmission under Article 103 of Korea's Copyright Act on the copyright notice page. The name and contact details of the person who receives such requests (the designated recipient) are posted on that page. When we receive a request that meets the requirements, we stop transmitting the track and notify the notifier and the uploader; the uploader may ask for restoration by showing their rights. The page explains the procedure and deadlines in detail.
2. Anyone claiming another infringement, such as of privacy or reputation, can ask for removal through the report feature or at help@newsori.com. Under Article 44-2 of Korea's Network Act we remove the material or take a temporary measure without delay and notify both the requester and the poster. Where infringement is hard to judge or a dispute is expected, we may block access temporarily for up to 30 days, during which the poster may ask for it to be reposted by writing to help@newsori.com. When we receive a repost request we tell the requester, decide whether to repost before the period ends and tell both sides.
3. We restrict accounts with three or more infringement notices found to be valid within 12 months (repeat infringers).
4. Anyone who harms others with a false notice is liable for that harm.

Chapter 5. Users' duties and restrictions

Article 14. Prohibited conduct

Users must not upload content the Content Policy prohibits, or:

1. use another person's account or details, or impersonate another person, artist or NEWSORI;
2. manipulate plays, likes, follows or charts by automated means;
3. circumvent the Service's security measures, rate limits or access controls, or overload its systems;
4. scrape the Service in bulk without our permission, or train AI models on the Service's content, except for uses allowed by a licence the creator has marked;
5. break the law or infringe others' rights.

Article 15. Restrictions

1. If a user breaches these terms or the Content Policy we may, depending on severity: warn them; refuse to publish, hide or remove content; limit features; or suspend the account temporarily or permanently.
2. When an account is suspended, all its public tracks become private and are not republished automatically when the suspension ends.
3. When we act, we tell the user the reason and the rule concerned through an in-Service notification or the member's e-mail, unless telling them would hinder an investigation of unlawful conduct or endanger others, in which case we may tell them later or not at all.
4. Users may object to an action at help@newsori.com. Where possible we have someone not involved in the original decision look at it again, and we tell the user the outcome within 14 days of receiving the objection. If we cannot do so within that period, we tell the user why and when to expect it.
5. Every action is recorded in a log that cannot be altered.

Chapter 6. Ending the agreement

Article 16. Closing an account

1. Members can close their account at any time in Settings → Delete account.
2. On closing, the account is closed at once, the member's public content is taken down, and account data is destroyed within 5 days of the request as described in Privacy Policy section 3. The member's tracks in other users' playlists can no longer be played. Comments without replies are deleted; comments with replies keep their place but their text is erased. However, comments that were reported or acted on, and tracks' AI and rights declarations, are kept for the periods in Privacy Policy section 3 to deal with disputes.
3. Before closing, members can download their information with "Download my data". Closing an account cannot be undone.

Article 17. Ending by us

We may end the agreement after the process in Article 15 if a user breaches these terms seriously or repeatedly.

Chapter 7. Liability

Article 18. Our liability and its limits

1. We compensate users under applicable law for damage we cause intentionally or negligently.
2. Unless we acted intentionally or negligently, we are not liable for damage caused by natural disasters or comparable force majeure, by problems for which the user is responsible, or by disputes between users or between a user and a third party.
3. AI declarations, track details, source credits and other information declared by creators are the creator's responsibility; we do not verify their accuracy. We do not present declarations as true. We are responsible for the information on tracks made by NEWSORI under Article 7-2.
4. The Service is free and is not warranted to suit a particular purpose or to run without interruption. This does not reduce our liability for intent or negligence.

Article 19. Users' liability

A user who breaches these terms and thereby causes us loss must compensate it.

Chapter 8. Miscellaneous

Article 20. Notices

We notify users through announcements or notifications in the Service. Where individual notice is required we use the member's in-Service notifications and, where needed, also write to the e-mail address the member uses to sign in.

Article 21. Governing law and courts

1. These terms and the use of the Service are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea.
2. Lawsuits about disputes are brought before the court with jurisdiction under Korea's Civil Procedure Act.
3. These terms do not exclude mandatory consumer-protection rules of the user's country of residence that are more favourable to the user.

Article 22. Company details and contacts

Supplementary provision

These terms take effect on 9 November 2026.
