Article 3 (Effect and Amendment of the Terms)
The Company posts the contents of these Terms within the service screen or by other similar means so that members can be aware of them. A use agreement is concluded when an applicant agrees to the contents of these Terms, applies to use the Service, and the Company accepts the application.
The Company accepts applications as a rule, but may refuse acceptance of an application that falls under any of the following.
- Where the contents of the application are falsely stated or fail to meet the requirements
- Where the Service is used through abnormal or circumventive means
- Where the application is made for the purpose of harming public peace and order or public morals
- Where the Service is intended to be used for improper purposes, or acceptance is otherwise deemed inappropriate
The Company may amend these Terms within the scope that does not violate applicable laws where there are reasonable grounds. When amending the Terms, the Company gives notice of the effective date and the reasons for the amendment, by means such as posting within the Service, from seven days before the effective date (30 days before in the case of changes unfavorable or material to members). Where the Company gives notice of the amended Terms together with a statement that a member will be deemed to have consented if the member does not express refusal by the effective date of the amended Terms, and the member does not expressly refuse, the member is deemed to have consented to the amended Terms. If a member does not consent to the amended Terms, the Company or the member may terminate the use agreement.
Article 4 (Rules Outside the Terms)
Matters not specified in these Terms and the interpretation thereof are governed by applicable laws and commercial practice, including the Commercial Act, the Telecommunications Business Act, the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, and the Copyright Act.
Article 5 (Notice to Members)
The Company may give notices to members using appropriate means of communication such as email, text message (SMS/MMS), and application push notification (PNS). For notices to an unspecified number of members, the Company may substitute individual notice by posting on the bulletin board of the website or mobile application for at least 20 days. However, the Company gives individual notice on matters that materially affect a member's own transactions.
Article 6 (Conclusion of Use Agreement and Membership Registration)
A person who wishes to register as a member and use the Service is deemed to have agreed to these Terms by selecting the "Agree" or "I agree" button on the service screen. A use agreement is concluded when an applicant agrees to the Terms, applies to use the Service, and the Company accepts the application. A member may use the Service by installing the dedicated application on a mobile device from the moment membership registration is completed.
Members must provide their accurate information requested by the Company at the time of registration. A member who steals another person's information or registers false information may not claim any rights in connection with the use of the Service and may be punished under applicable laws. Members must promptly correct any changes to the information stated at registration in accordance with the procedures set by the Company, and the Company is not responsible for problems (such as inability to give notice) arising from a member's failure to correct information. Members are responsible for managing their account and password, and the member is responsible for any loss in using the Service or unauthorized use by a third party arising from negligent management.
Article 7 (Privacy Policy and Protection)
The Company endeavors to protect members' personal information as prescribed by applicable laws. Specific matters concerning the collection, use, storage, and processing of personal information are governed by the "Privacy Policy" posted separately within the website or application. The Company does not disclose or distribute a member's personal information learned in connection with service provision to third parties without the member's consent. However, this does not apply where lawful procedures under the provisions of law are followed, such as for investigative purposes under applicable laws or at the request of competent authorities.
Article 8 (Data Management and Deletion)
If a member deletes the application from a mobile device, data stored on the device is deleted, but data stored on the server may remain undeleted. To permanently delete data stored on the server as well, the member must complete the "membership withdrawal" procedure within the Service. Since data deleted due to membership withdrawal cannot be restored under any circumstances, members must personally verify matters such as backing up important data before withdrawal.
Article 9 (Obligations of the Company)
- To provide continuous and stable service, the Company repairs or restores any failure or loss of facilities without delay.
- Where a complaint or opinion raised by a member is deemed legitimate, the Company handles it promptly; where prompt handling is difficult, it notifies the member of the reason and the handling schedule.

- The Company may temporarily or permanently suspend the Service where unavoidable grounds such as natural disasters or emergencies arise.
