The payment screen also indicates whether the selling Member is a business operator, and where the selling Member is not a business operator, the Company gives notice that consumer protection rules applicable to transactions with business operators may not apply.
5. Where the Company itself directly sells goods or services, the relevant screen states that the Company is the selling party, and in such cases the Company bears responsibility as a mail-order seller.

The Company collects the date of birth at registration to verify age, and, for minors, verifies the legal guardian's consent and contact information by a method determined by the Company (such as entry and verification of legal guardian information). If it is confirmed that the age or legal guardian information was falsely provided, the Company may terminate the service agreement. A Member under 19 years of age who has reached the age of majority under the law of their home country is treated as an adult for the purposes of these Terms.

   • Misappropriation of another person's information
   • Provision of false information
   • Prior sanctions for violation of these Terms

Article 7 (Use by Minors)

1. Minor Members may use the non-face-to-face services, such as browsing Courses, using Course Guides (audio guides), and Run Notes.
2. To protect minor Members from the risks involved in one-on-one, in-person meetings with Members they do not know, minor Members may not use in-person running (hosting a Run Post, applying to participate, and Matches) on their own. A minor may participate only when accompanied by an adult legal guardian or caregiver who also participates, in which case supervisory responsibility for the minor lies with the accompanying guardian.
3. Where a minor Member pays for a Paid Service, the consent of their legal guardian is required. A payment made by a minor without the consent of their legal guardian may be cancelled by the minor or their legal guardian in accordance with the Civil Act of Korea. The Company gives notice of this on the payment screen.

Article 8 (Account Management)

1. Members must manage their account information securely and may not share, transfer, or lend their account to any third party.
2. A Member who discovers signs of irregularity, such as account theft, must notify the Company immediately, and the Company takes measures necessary to protect the account.

Article 10 (Change and Discontinuation of the Service)

1. The Company may temporarily suspend the provision of the Service for reasons such as system inspection, maintenance, or equipment failure; planned suspensions are announced in advance.
2. The Company may change or terminate all or part of the Service as operationally or technically necessary. Where a change or termination would make a Paid Course Guide that a Member has already purchased unavailable, the Company guarantees, at a minimum, the following measures:
   1. An announcement within the Service and individual notice by electronic means, such as email, to Members who purchased the affected Course Guide, no later than 90 days before the termination date. The individual notice includes the refund criteria, the application method, and the application period.
   2. Guaranteed normal use of the affected Course Guide from the announcement date until the termination date
   3. A full refund of the payment for any Paid Course Guide for which playback has not begun, regardless of when it was purchased
   4. A refund of at least 50 percent of the payment for any Paid Course Guide for which playback has begun and for which 12 months have not passed from the purchase date as of the termination date
   5. For a Course Guide composed of multiple, divisible pieces of content, a full refund of the price attributable to any portion whose provision has not begun
   6. Refunds under Items 3 through 5 are paid in money in principle; compensation by Credits or other substitute means is limited to cases where the Member has individually consented.

   Whether playback has begun is determined as of the announcement date under Item 1, and playback occurring after the announcement date is not counted against the Member. Refunds may be applied for through the procedure described in the individual notice under Item 1; the Company operates an application channel that remains available even after the Service ends, such as email, for at least 6 months from the termination date, and pays refunds within 3 business days of receiving an application. If a refund is delayed, the Company pays late-payment interest in accordance with applicable laws, and the expiration of the application period does not affect any rights the Member holds under applicable laws. Where a refund is possible using payment information held by the Company, the Company may make the refund without an application.

   If the Company cannot comply with the period in Item 1 for any of the following reasons, the Company announces the reason and provides the longest notice period possible, and the guarantees in Items 2 through 6 continue to apply in full:

   • (a) The enactment or amendment of laws, or a disposition by an administrative agency
   • (b) A natural disaster or other force majeure event
   • (c) The commencement of rehabilitation or bankruptcy proceedings

   Cases in which the use of an individual Course Guide is restricted due to takedown, suspension of sale, or deletion under Article 14, Paragraph 4, or due to a Curator's withdrawal from membership or deletion of Content, do not constitute a change or termination under this Paragraph, and are handled under Article 18, Paragraph 3 (applied mutatis mutandis where use is blocked by the Company's measures) and Article 22, Paragraph 3, respectively. However, where the Company discontinues the provision of an individual Course Guide or a part of the Service as operationally or technically necessary, this Paragraph applies regardless of the scale of the discontinuation.

   The items of this Paragraph are minimum standards guaranteed by the Company and do not limit any rights that Members hold under applicable laws.

3. Where damage is caused to a Member by a suspension of the Service due to the Company's willful misconduct or negligence, the Company compensates the Member in accordance with applicable laws.

Article 11 (General Obligations of Members)

1. Members must comply with applicable laws, these Terms, the Operating Policies, and matters announced by the Company.
2. Members must respect other Members and treat them with courtesy.
3. Members understand that running activities involve inherent risks (injuries, accidents, etc.) and must use the Service in a manner appropriate to their own health condition and physical fitness.
4. While running, Members must comply with applicable laws, including road traffic laws, and with on-site safety rules.

Article 12 (Obligations of Hosts)

1. Hosts must provide accurate information (location, time, pace, distance, etc.) in their Run Posts.
2. Hosts must select safe running courses and must inform Guests in advance of any hazards.
3. Hosts may not use the personal information of approved Guests for purposes other than the Service or share it with third parties.

   • Caution segments such as road crossings, stairs, and slippery surfaces
   • Hazards related to nighttime or weather conditions
   • Safety and convenience information such as water points and restrooms (to the extent known)
2. Curators must compose the Courses they register based on their actual experience of running them, and must not present a Course written without an actual run as if it had been actually run.
3. Curators must not include in a Course Guide any content that infringes the rights of others (copyright, portrait rights, etc.), and each Curator warrants that they lawfully hold the rights to, or have obtained permission to use, all materials included in the Course Guide, including background music and narration scripts.
4. The Company may take down, suspend the sale of, request the correction of, or delete Courses and Course Guides in any of the following cases:
   • Where a serious safety risk has been confirmed (e.g., inclusion of a no-pedestrian zone or a construction zone)
   • Where a report that the information is inaccurate has been received and confirmed
   • Where applicable laws or these Terms have been violated
5. When the Company takes a measure under Paragraph 4, it notifies the relevant Curator of the reason, and the Curator may appeal in accordance with Article 26.

Article 15 (Safety and Incident Response)

1. Scope and limits of Member verification: The Company verifies contactability at membership registration through phone number SMS verification. The Company does not verify or guarantee a Member's criminal history, the truthfulness of their identity, or their health condition. A profile verification badge signifies only the fact of verification through the relevant verification means.
2. Insurance: The Company does not provide insurance, such as accident insurance, for Members' running activities. Members are advised to obtain personal accident insurance.
3. Emergency response: In the event of an accident, crime, or imminent danger while running, Members must immediately call the local emergency number (in the Republic of Korea, 112 (police) or 119 (ambulance)). A report to the Company does not substitute for an emergency call.
4. Incident reports and cooperation: Members may notify the Company of accidents or crimes that occur in connection with the use of the Service through the in-service reporting channel or by email. Upon receiving a report, the Company begins verification without delay, may take interim measures such as an emergency suspension of the relevant Member's account where necessary, and cooperates with lawful requests from domestic and foreign investigative authorities for the preservation and provision of relevant records.
5. Caution when using audio guides: Using an audio guide or the screen while running may reduce attention to surrounding traffic and pedestrians. Members must keep their earphone volume at a level that allows them to hear ambient sounds, and must always prioritize on-site traffic signals and safety conditions over the audio guide's instructions. The Company gives notice of these precautions on the run start screen.

Article 16 (Paid Services and Price Display)

1. The Company may provide paid services, such as Paid Course Guides, or intermediate transactions in them.
2. Prices of paid services are displayed in Korean won (₩), and the payment screen displays the final payment amount applicable to the Member, inclusive of VAT and other applicable taxes. Where the applicable tax amount may differ depending on the Member's region or payment method, the payment screen provides notice of this.
3. The price of a Paid Course Guide is chosen by the Curator within a price range presented by the Company (guided pricing). The Company informs Curators of the criteria for the price range (course quality, audio points, usage data, etc.).
4. The payment screen displays the product details, price, usage period, and the deadline, method, and effect of withdrawal of purchase, as well as the selling party. Where no usage period is fixed, the screen states that the guide is “available for use for as long as the Service is provided” and that, if the Service is terminated, compensation is provided in accordance with Article 10, Paragraph 2.
5. The right a Member acquires by purchasing a Paid Course Guide is not ownership of the content, but a right to play and use that Course Guide within the Service. Where no usage period is fixed, the usage period of a Paid Course Guide lasts for as long as the Member's service agreement and the provision of that Course Guide within the Service both continue; if provision of the Service is terminated, the Member receives the compensation set out in Article 10, Paragraph 2, and if the Member withdraws from membership, Article 30, Paragraph 7 applies. The main body of a Paid Course Guide is, in principle, played back on a location basis at the Course site, and the Company indicates this on the payment screen. Previews for pre-purchase trial and the viewing of Course information are provided without any location restriction.
6. The Company does not change the usage period or terms of use of Paid Course Guides already sold in a manner unfavorable to Members. However, corrections to Course information or guidance made to the minimum extent necessary for compliance with laws or for Members' safety are not deemed unfavorable changes. If such a correction materially reduces the substantive content of a Course Guide, the Member may demand a refund under Article 18, Paragraph 3; where use is restricted by a change to or termination of the Service, Article 10, Paragraph 2 applies.

Article 17 (Payment)

1. Members may pay for paid services using the payment methods provided by the Company (credit card, simple payment, etc.). Payment processing is handled through a payment gateway (PG) provider, and the entrusted providers are disclosed in the Privacy Policy.
2. The Company retains payment records for 5 years in accordance with the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce of Korea.
3. Payments by minors are subject to Article 7, Paragraph 3.
4. Where a payment made by misappropriating another person's payment method, or a fraudulent payment, is confirmed, the Company may cancel the transaction and impose sanctions under Article 25.
5. The Company may set, in the Operating Policies, the regions in which paid services may be purchased and the payment methods available, in order to comply with tax and payment-related laws.

Article 18 (Withdrawal of Purchase and Refunds)

1. A Member may withdraw their purchase of a Paid Course Guide within 7 days of the purchase date.
2. Notwithstanding Paragraph 1, once playback or download of a Course Guide, which is digital content, has begun, withdrawal of purchase may be restricted pursuant to Article 17(2)5 of the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce of Korea. As the statutory prerequisites for this restriction to apply, the Company implements the following:
   • The Company provides a free preview (a trial of part of the content) before purchase.
   • On the payment screen, the Company obtains the Member's express prior consent to the provision of the content beginning within the withdrawal period, and the Member's confirmation of their awareness that the right of withdrawal is lost once playback or download begins. The Company promptly provides a purchase confirmation that includes the substance of this consent and confirmation, in a form the Member can retain, such as email.
   • In transactions where the above measures were not implemented, withdrawal of purchase is not restricted even after playback has begun.
   • For a Course Guide composed of multiple, divisible pieces of content (bundled products, etc.), withdrawal of purchase is not restricted with respect to any portion whose provision has not begun.
3. In any of the following cases, a Member may demand withdrawal of purchase and a refund regardless of whether playback has begun:
   • Where the Course Guide differs from its displayed or advertised content, or the contract has been performed differently from its terms: within 3 months from the date of supply, or within 30 days from the date the Member knew or could have known of that fact
   • Where the Course Guide does not play normally due to a technical defect
   • Where a material inaccuracy in the Course information (route errors, unmarked hazardous segments, etc.) has been confirmed
4. Withdrawal of purchase may be requested through the purchase history within the Service or by email, and the Company refunds the payment within 3 business days of receiving the withdrawal request. If the refund is delayed, the Company pays late-payment interest in accordance with applicable laws.
5. For a transaction that has been refunded, the right to use the relevant Course Guide is revoked, and the corresponding amount is deducted from the settlement payable to the Curator.
6. Erroneous payments: Where an erroneous payment occurs, such as a duplicate payment or an amount error, the Company refunds the full erroneous amount without delay upon the Member's claim or its own confirmation, in principle by the same method as the original payment. Where a refund by the same method is impossible, the refund is made by another method notified in advance.
7. Where the mandatory laws of the Member's country of residence guarantee a longer withdrawal period than provided in this Article, or withdrawal, refund, or defect-remedy rights more favorable to the Member, those laws apply to that Member in precedence over this Article.

Article 19 (Curator Sales and Settlement)

1. Curators may sell their own Course Guides for a fee in accordance with the procedures and standards set by the Company.
2. Revenue share: Revenue from paid Course Guide sales is shared 40% to the Curator and 60% to the Company. The Company pays the Curator 40% of the sale price as the settlement amount. The Company's 60% covers the production and operating costs the Company bears on the Curator's behalf, including voice synthesis and AR production, map APIs, cloud hosting, and operations. The applicable share is displayed at all times on the sales registration screen and the Curator settlement screen.
3. Notice that the current share is an early-participation benefit: The share in Paragraph 2 is set to favor Curators who join during the early stage of the Service and is neither final nor permanent. The Company may adjust it upward or downward in response to changes in the scale of the Service, production and operating costs, payment and settlement fees, and market conditions. By applying to sell for a fee, the Curator acknowledges and agrees that the share may change under the procedure in Paragraph 4.
4. Adjustment of the revenue share: The revenue share is not fixed, and the Company may adjust it as follows.
   • Timing: Adjustments take effect only on a semi-annual reference date (1 January and 1 July each year); the share is not changed at any other time.
   • Basis: The Company reviews production and operating costs, payment and settlement fees, sales performance, and Curator feedback to determine whether and by how much to adjust, and announces the basis together with any adjustment.
   • Advance notice: Any adjustment unfavorable to Curators is announced 30 days before the effective date, and Curators with active listings are notified individually at their registered contact.
   • Consent procedure: The Company does not separately obtain each Curator's individual consent to an adjustment. The advance notice above states, in plain terms, how and by when an objection may be raised and that failure to object by the stated deadline is deemed consent to the adjustment. A Curator who does not object by the day before the effective date is deemed to have consented to that adjustment.
   • No retroactive application: An adjusted share applies only to purchases made on or after the effective date. Settlement for purchases made before that date follows the share in effect at the time of purchase, and the Company preserves the share and settlement amount for each purchase in the transaction record.
   • Curator's option: A Curator who does not agree to an adjustment may suspend sales or unpublish their Course Guides before the effective date; settlement amounts already accrued are paid according to the settlement cycle in Paragraph 5.
   • Promotional shares: The Company may set temporary promotional shares, such as preferential terms for early Curators, by separate notice stating the eligible Curators, the period, and the base share that applies afterwards. The base share resuming at the end of a previously announced promotional period is not treated as an unfavorable adjustment under this Paragraph.
5. Settlement cycle: Settlement amounts are aggregated as of the last day of each month and paid to the Curator's registered account on the 15th of the following month (or, if that day is not a business day, the next business day).
6. Withholding of payment: Settlement amounts for transactions subject to an ongoing refund dispute or suspected of being fraudulent may be withheld until the cause is resolved, and the Company notifies the Curator of the reason for the withholding.
7. Taxes: The obligation to report taxes on a Curator's sales income lies with the Curator. Where withholding, submission of payment statements, or similar is required under applicable tax laws, the Company performs it, and may request from the Curator the information necessary for that purpose (account information, identity verification information, etc.). The items collected and the retention period are governed by the Privacy Policy.
8. Where, in light of the scale and repetitiveness of a Curator's sales, the Curator becomes a mail-order seller under the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce of Korea, the Company may require the Curator to provide the information necessary for verifying and displaying seller identity information under Article 20(2) of that Act (name, address, phone number, etc.), and the Curator must cooperate.
9. Where a Curator withdraws from membership, unpaid settlement amounts are paid in accordance with Article 30, Paragraph 4.
10. Settlement deductions for transactions in which withdrawal of purchase or a refund has occurred are made in accordance with Article 18, Paragraph 5; where the settlement amount for the relevant month is insufficient to cover the deduction, the deduction may be carried over to the next settlement. The Company notifies the Curator of the details of any carried-over deduction. Service-termination refunds under Article 10, Paragraph 2 are borne by the Company, and the Company does not claim the return of amounts already settled to Curators on that basis.
11. Seller eligibility: The sale of Paid Course Guides is permitted only to Curators who reside in the Republic of Korea, hold an account with a Korean financial institution, and have completed the identity verification set by the Company. The Company may expand seller eligibility by region; the conditions applicable upon expansion are set out in the Operating Policies or supplementary terms. The registration and sharing of free Courses and Course Guides are not subject to the restrictions of this Paragraph.

Article 20 (Credits)

1. Credits are free-of-charge points designed to make participation in and hosting of in-person runs considered and reciprocal. Credits are not sold by the Company, have no cash value, and cannot be refunded, transferred, or traded.
2. Credits are accrued and deducted according to the following standards:

   Event	Credits
   Completing onboarding	+1
   Upon approval of run participation	-1
   Completing hosting (upon completion of reviews)	+1

3. Deductions imposed as penalties, such as for no-shows, are governed by Article 23.
4. Credits deducted upon approval of participation are returned where the Match falls through due to the Host's cancellation, the other party's no-show, or any other cause not attributable to the participating Member.
5. Credits have no expiration period. If the Company introduces an expiration period, it announces this 90 days before implementation.
6. Changes to the standards in Paragraph 2 follow the procedure in Article 4, Paragraph 3 (announcement 30 days before any unfavorable change).
7. Credits acquired by improper means may be reclaimed, and the sanctions of Article 25 may apply to the relevant Member.
8. Credits are extinguished upon membership withdrawal. As Credits are free-of-charge points, no monetary compensation is provided upon extinguishment.

Article 21 (Reviews and Run Notes)

1. After completing a run, Hosts and Guests may write mutual reviews, and Members who have used a Course Guide may write reviews of the Course.
2. Reviews must be based on facts, and the following reviews are prohibited:
   • False or exaggerated content
   • Profanity, defamation, or hate speech
   • Disclosure of personal information
   • Retaliatory reviews
   • Advertising or promotional content
3. The Company may delete, or request the correction of, reviews that violate Paragraph 2. However, the Company does not delete a review solely on the ground that it contains facts unfavorable to a Member.
4. Members may record their solo runs as Run Notes and publish them, and may choose whether to make them public or private. Run Notes must not contain false information or content that infringes the rights of others; in the event of a violation, the Company may delete the Run Notes or switch them to private.

Article 22 (Rights to Content)

1. Copyright in the Content a Member posts on the Service (Courses, Course Guides, Run Notes, reviews, photos, etc.) belongs to that Member.
2. The Member grants the Company a royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use the Content (storage, reproduction, transmission, display, and secondary display such as thumbnails) to the extent necessary for the operation, improvement, and promotion of the Service. Where a Member's Content is used for promotion outside the Service, attribution (nickname, etc.) is displayed.
3. Where a Member withdraws from membership or deletes Content, the license under Paragraph 2 ends. However, the continued use of Course Guides already purchased by other Members, portions combined with other Members' Content (reviews, etc.), and information subject to statutory retention obligations are excepted.
4. Members warrant that the Content they post does not infringe the rights of others, and where a rights-infringement dispute arises from a Member's Content, that Member bears responsibility.
5. Where a third party raises an objection, claim, or lawsuit against the Company due to a Member's violation of these Terms or applicable laws, the Company notifies the Member of that fact without delay and gives the Member an opportunity to participate in the defense. The Member cooperates in the defense at the Company's request and compensates the Company for damages the Company has come to bear without the Company's willful misconduct or negligence (including reasonable legal costs). Any portion attributable to the Company's willful misconduct or negligence is not passed on to the Member.

2. The Company reviews the reported matter and, depending on whether a violation occurred and its severity, may impose the following sanctions: warning, 7-day suspension, 30-day suspension, or permanent suspension.
3. In urgent safety-related cases (crime reports, concerns of imminent harm, etc.), the Company may impose a temporary suspension on the relevant account even before the facts are verified. A temporary suspension may also be applied where 5 or more cumulative reports have been received.
4. A temporary measure under Paragraph 3 may be initiated according to automated criteria, but the final decision on sanctions is made through human review by the Company, and the Company begins its review without delay after the temporary measure. A Member subject to a temporary measure is notified of the reason and the appeal method.
5. A sanctioned Member may appeal in accordance with Article 26.

Article 26 (Restriction of Use and Appeals)

1. The Company may restrict a Member's use of the Service where the Member violates these Terms or interferes with the normal operation of the Service.
2. When restricting use, the Company notifies the Member of the reason, the restriction period, and the appeal method.
3. The Member may file an appeal within 30 days of receiving the notice and may submit explanatory materials with the appeal.
4. The Company notifies the Member of the review result within 15 days of receiving the appeal. Where the period is unavoidably extended, the Company notifies the Member of the reason and the expected timeline.
5. Where the appeal is found to have merit, the Company immediately lifts the sanction and restores benefits lost due to the sanction, such as extinguished Credits.

Article 27 (Company Liability and Disclaimers)

1. The Company bears liability, in accordance with applicable laws, for damage caused to Members by the Company's willful misconduct or negligence.
2. The Company is not responsible for the following matters. However, this does not apply where they result from the Company's willful misconduct or negligence.
   • Injuries, accidents, or illnesses occurring during running activities between Members
   • Disputes or conflicts between Members
   • The accuracy or reliability of information or Content provided by Members (including Curators and Hosts)
   • Damage caused by force majeure, such as natural disasters or severe weather
   • Service disruptions attributable to the Member
3. In transactions for Paid Course Guides sold by Curators, the Company bears responsibility as a mail-order sales intermediary under Article 5, Paragraphs 2 and 3.
4. Members are responsible for checking their own health condition before running and for consulting a medical specialist where necessary.
5. Where the Company bears liability, the scope of compensation is limited to ordinary damages; damages arising from special circumstances are compensated only where the Company knew or could have known of those circumstances. However, this limitation does not apply to damage caused by the Company's willful misconduct or gross negligence, or to damage to life or body.

Article 28 (Members' Acknowledgment and Confirmation of Risk)

1. Running is a physical activity that carries inherent risks of injury, accident, and illness.
2. When a Member applies for an in-person running Match or registers a hosting, the Company gives notice of the inherent risks of running activities and the safety rules of Article 15, and requires the Member's confirmation (a check step). A Member's acknowledgment of risk is established through this confirmation procedure, and a Member is not deemed to have assumed risk without this confirmation.
3. The confirmation under Paragraph 2 presupposes the Member's own obligations of health management and compliance with safety rules, and does not have the effect of exempting the Company from liability for its willful misconduct or negligence.

Article 29 (Dispute Resolution)

1. Disputes between the Company and Members: Members may submit complaints and disputes through the in-service customer center or by email (runnerslikeme@gmail.com). The Company replies with the outcome or a processing schedule within 10 business days of receipt.
2. Paid transaction disputes: Disputes concerning refunds or the quality of Paid Course Guides are handled first under the refund procedure of Article 18, and the Company, as a mail-order sales intermediary, supports mediation to resolve disputes between purchasing Members and Curators.
3. Disputes between Members: Disputes between Members are, in principle, to be resolved between the parties; however, the Company provides fact-checking and mediation support for disputes concerning no-shows, reviews, safety reports, and paid transactions. (This mediation support is not arbitration under the Arbitration Act of Korea and does not limit the parties' right to file a lawsuit.)
4. External dispute mediation bodies: If a dispute is not resolved, Members may apply for mediation to the following bodies:
   • the Consumer Dispute Mediation Committee (Korea Consumer Agency, 1372, www.kca.go.kr)
   • the Content Dispute Mediation Committee (Korea, 1588-2594, www.kcdrc.kr)
   • the Electronic Document and Electronic Commerce Dispute Mediation Committee (Korea, 1661-5714, www.ecmc.or.kr)

Article 30 (Membership Withdrawal)

1. Members may request withdrawal from membership at any time through the settings menu, and withdrawal is processed immediately.
2. If a running Match is in progress at the time of withdrawal, that Match is automatically cancelled, and the Company notifies the other Member of the cancellation. Penalty records arising from repeated no-shows or cancellations immediately before withdrawal may carry over upon re-registration.
3. Upon withdrawal, the Member's personal information is processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy, and any Credits held are extinguished in accordance with Article 20, Paragraph 8.
4. Where a withdrawn Member has unpaid settlement amounts, the Company pays the remaining settlement amounts according to the settlement schedule. The minimum information necessary for this (account information, etc.) is retained until payment is complete, and details are governed by the Privacy Policy.
5. The rights of withdrawal of purchase and refund for Paid Course Guides purchased before withdrawal are not extinguished by withdrawal, and may be exercised by email within the statutory period.
6. Re-registration after withdrawal for the purpose of evading sanctions may be restricted.
7. Where a Member withdraws from membership, the right to use purchased Paid Course Guides ends when the withdrawal is completed. During the withdrawal procedure, the Company displays the list of Paid Course Guides whose usage rights will end and the substance of this Paragraph, and obtains the Member's confirmation; the Company does not assert the termination of usage rights with respect to a withdrawal for which this confirmation was not obtained. If a withdrawn Member re-registers within 30 days of the withdrawal date, the Company restores the terminated usage rights; however, this does not apply to re-registration after withdrawal for the purpose of evading sanctions under Paragraph 6. The Company retains the minimum purchase records necessary for restoration under this Paragraph for 30 days after withdrawal, and details are governed by the Privacy Policy. The rights of withdrawal of purchase and refund under Paragraph 5 subsist regardless of the termination of usage rights under this Paragraph.

Article 31 (Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Language)

1. The interpretation and application of these Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea.
2. Lawsuits between the Company and a Member in connection with the use of the Service are brought before the court of competent jurisdiction under the Civil Procedure Act of Korea. For disputes with a Member who is a consumer, the exclusive jurisdiction provisions of applicable consumer protection laws take precedence.
3. For users outside Korea, consumer protection provisions that apply mandatorily under the laws of the user's country of residence may take precedence over these Terms.
4. The Korean text of these Terms is the authentic text; in the event of any discrepancy between a translation and the Korean text, the Korean text prevails. The personal data rights of users residing in the European Union (EU) are described in the “Notice for Users Outside Korea” section of the Privacy Policy.
