⚖️ Terms of Use
Article 2. Definitions
Key terms used in these Terms are defined as follows:

Use Contract: A contract concluded between the site and a member in relation to site use.
Member ID (“ID”): A unique combination of letters and numbers assigned per member for identification and service use.

Operator: The administrator who opens and runs the website to provide the service.
Termination: The act by which a member cancels the use contract.
Article 3. Matters Not Specified
If necessary, the Operator may separately announce operating policies.
Where these Terms and the operating policy overlap, the operating policy takes precedence.
Article 4. Formation of the Use Contract
The use contract is formed when a person who wishes to use the site as a member agrees to these Terms and the Operator accepts the application for membership.
A person who wishes to register as a member is deemed to express consent to these Terms by reading them during sign-up and selecting “I agree.”
Article 5. Application for Service Use
A user who wishes to use the site as a registered member must provide the information requested by the site (user ID, password, nickname, etc.).
A member who registers information that is not genuine—such as stealing another person’s information or entering false information—may not assert any rights in relation to use of the site and may be punished under applicable laws.
Article 7. Duties of the Operator
Where opinions or complaints raised by user-members are deemed justified, the Operator will handle them as quickly as possible. If prompt handling is difficult due to personal circumstances, the Operator will do its best by later posting a notice or sending a note/email to the user-member.
To provide continuous and stable service, the Operator may require the site to promptly repair or restore facilities when there is a failure or loss. However, if there are unavoidable reasons such as force majeure or other reasons attributable to the site or the Operator, site operations may be suspended temporarily.
Article 8. Duties of Members
Members must comply with these Terms, the site’s rules, notices, operating policies announced by the site, and applicable laws. Members must not engage in acts that interfere with the site’s business or damage the site’s reputation.
Unless expressly authorized by the site, members may not transfer or gift the right to use the service or their contractual status to a third party, nor provide them as collateral.
Users must exercise due care in managing their IDs and passwords and may not, without the consent of the Operator or the site, allow a third party to use their IDs.
Members must not infringe the intellectual property rights of the Operator, the site, or any third party.
Article 9. Service Hours
Unless there is a particular business or technical obstacle, the service is, in principle, available 24 hours a day, year-round. However, the site may temporarily suspend service on dates or at times designated by the site for regular system inspection, expansion, or replacement; planned suspensions will be announced in advance on the site’s homepage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the site may, without prior notice, temporarily or permanently suspend service in the following cases: urgent system inspection, expansion, replacement, failure or malfunction; force majeure such as national emergency, power outage, or natural disaster; when a common carrier under the Telecommunications Business Act suspends service; or when service overload hinders normal service use.
In the event of a suspension under the preceding paragraphs, the site will notify members through notices, etc., in advance. If advance notice is impossible due to reasons beyond the site’s control, notice may be given afterward.

– Content that disseminates or links to material violating public order and good morals
– Content that encourages illegal copying or hacking
– Advertisements for profit

– Content infringing copyrights or other rights of other users or third parties
– Any other content deemed to violate applicable lawsIf the Operator receives a request from a third party to suspend posting (or transmission) on the grounds of defamation, infringement of intellectual property rights, or similar rights, the Operator may temporarily suspend the post. If litigation, settlement, or a comparable decision by a relevant institution occurs between the requester and the poster and is submitted to the site, the site will follow it
