If a User does not agree to an amendment, the Company may not apply the amended Terms to that User, and the User may terminate the service agreement. However, if there are special circumstances under which the existing Terms cannot be applied, the Company may terminate the service agreement.
Article 7 (Formation of Contract)
A contract is formed when a Service User agrees to and confirms the Terms, applies for the Services, and the Company accepts such application.

The Company may defer acceptance if the Company lacks capacity to provide the Services, or if technical or operational issues exist.
If the Company refuses or defers acceptance under Paragraph (2) or (4), the Company will, in principle, notify the applicant.
The service agreement becomes effective at the time the Company indicates completion of the application in the applicable application process.
Article 8 (Payment Methods)

- Online bank deposit without a passbook
- Other electronic payment methods
Article 9 (Order Confirmation; Changes and Cancellation)
If a Service User places an order on the Site, the Company will provide an order confirmation notice to the Service User.
If the Service User identifies any discrepancy in intent or other issues after receiving the order confirmation notice, the Service User may promptly request a change or cancellation of the order. Upon such request, the Company shall process it without undue delay. If payment has already been made, Article 11 (Withdrawal of Offer, etc.) shall apply.
Article 10 (Supply/Delivery of Goods and Services Purchased on the Site)
Unless otherwise agreed regarding the timing of supply, the Company will take necessary measures—such as made-to-order production, packaging, and other preparations—so that delivery can be made within seven (7) business days from the date the Service User purchases the Services on the Site. If there is a separate agreement regarding supply timing (including notice on a product detail page), that agreement shall govern. The Company will take reasonable measures to allow the Service User to confirm the supply process and progress for the purchased goods and services.
The Company will specify the venue and schedule (if applicable), shipping method, party responsible for shipping costs, and delivery period for the purchased Services. If the Company exceeds the agreed delivery period, the Company shall compensate the Service User for damages resulting therefrom, unless the Company proves that it was not at fault (including neither intent nor negligence).
Article 11 (Refunds)
If the Company is unable to deliver or provide the Services ordered by a Service User due to out-of-stock or similar reasons, the Company will notify the Service User of the reason without undue delay. If the Company has already received payment, the Company will refund the payment within three (3) business days from the date of receipt or take necessary measures to process the refund within that period.
Article 12 (Order Cancellation; Returns/Exchanges)
If the Services purchased by a Service User are online/offline events or programs, and the Service User requests cancellation of the purchase (cancellation), the refund will be processed in accordance with the Company's refund policy as follows:
- Up to two (2) days prior to the event: 100% refund of the purchase amount
- From two (2) days to one (1) day prior to the event: 50% refund of the purchase amount
- On the event date and after the event ends: No refund after-the-fact for non-attendance
A Service User who enters into a purchase agreement for Services through the Company may cancel the offer within seven (7) days in the case of Site purchases. If applicable laws provide otherwise regarding cancellation, those laws shall prevail. If the Service User has received delivery or provision of the Services, returns or exchanges are not permitted in any of the following cases:
- The Services are events or programs, and the Service User does not use the Services for reasons not attributable to the Company.
- The goods are lost or damaged due to reasons attributable to the Service User (provided that cancellation may still be permitted if the packaging was damaged solely to inspect the goods).
- The value of the goods is significantly reduced due to the Service User's use or partial consumption.
- The value of the goods is significantly reduced to the extent that resale is difficult due to the passage of time.
- Where reproduction is possible with goods of the same performance, the packaging of the original goods is damaged.
Notwithstanding subparagraphs (c) through (e) of Paragraph (2), if the Company did not clearly disclose in advance that cancellation is restricted, or did not take measures such as providing the goods to enable easy recognition of such restriction, the Service User's right to cancel shall not be restricted.
Notwithstanding Paragraphs (2) and (3), if the goods or services differ from the description or advertisement, or are performed inconsistently with the contract, the Service User may cancel the offer within three (3) days from the date of receipt of the goods or services, and within thirty (30) days from the date the Service User became aware or could have become aware of such fact.
Article 13 (Effects of Order Cancellation)
If the Company receives returned goods or a purchase cancellation request from a Service User, the Company will refund the amount already paid within three (3) business days. If the Company delays the refund, the Company will pay late interest calculated by applying the late interest rate publicly announced by the Korea Fair Trade Commission for the delay period.
If the Service User paid using a credit card or other electronic payment method, the Company will, without undue delay, request the payment service provider to suspend or cancel the charge for the relevant goods or services.
In the case of cancellation, the costs necessary to return the supplied goods and services shall be borne by the Service User. The Company will not claim a penalty or damages from the Service User due to cancellation. However, if the Service User cancels because the goods or services differ from the description/advertisement or are performed inconsistently with the contract, the Company will bear the return costs.
If the Service User paid shipping costs when receiving the goods or services, the Company will clearly indicate, in an easily understandable manner, who bears such costs in the event of cancellation.
Article 14 (Provision and Use of Site Services)
In principle, the Company provides Site services twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, year-round, unless there are special operational or technical impediments.
The Company may temporarily suspend service provision for a period determined by the Company due to regular inspections or for any of the following reasons. In such case, the Company will provide advance notice in accordance with Article 22 (Notice), provided that if advance notice is not feasible due to unavoidable circumstances, notice may be provided after the fact:
- Construction, including expansion, replacement, repair, or inspection of service facilities
- Interference with the Company's business activities by a Service User
