Members must register truthful and accurate information about themselves in order to use the service. If errors are found in the registered information or changes occur, members are obligated to promptly modify or update the information and notify the Company.

If a minor enters into a usage agreement with the Company through deception, the Company will immediately cease the usage and proceed with the contract termination process. However, matters related to paid services will be handled in accordance with the terms of use of the paid service, not these terms.
This service is not a content storage service. Except for cases where mandatory preservation is required by relevant laws or as specified in the separately notified personal information processing policy, the Company is not obligated to store or manage content, information, data files, and other files provided by members or third parties, or provide the original or copies of such files.
All responsibility for problems that may arise from members viewing and processing information and content of other members or content posted by other members on the service rests with the relevant member.
Members may not transfer, lease, or otherwise dispose of the status, rights, and obligations acquired through these terms to third parties without the prior written consent of the Company, except in cases specifically approved by the Company.
Members are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the relevant terms and regulations, as well as laws and regulations, before using each service, and must use the service within the scope of the purpose of the service specified by the Company.
