Members must comply with third-party payment operator procedures where applicable.

- If the Member has not used their real name or has used another person's name;
- If false information is provided or if the information required by the Company is omitted;

However, if the Member makes a payment through an App Market, the delivery or notification of the contract details shall be subject to the policies of the relevant App Market.

- Regardless of whether the Member is a minor, if the Member has led the Company to believe that they are an adult or that consent from a legal representative was obtained by using fraudulent means, such as misappropriating the personal identification information of another adult during the purchase process, representing themselves as an adult, completing the consent procedures of a legal representative, or using the payment information of another adult, neither the Member nor their legal representative may unilaterally cancel the purchase of Paid Services in accordance with relevant laws or regulations.
- If a Member is a person with limited capacity, such as a minor, the purchase of certain Paid Services designated by the Company may be restricted. Any services subject to such restrictions will be notified separately within the details of the individual service.

However, if the contents of the Paid Service, etc., provided are different from the display or advertisement, or are performed differently from the contract, the Member may cancel the subscription within three (3) months from the date the Paid Services, etc., were supplied, or within thirty (30) days from the date the Member knew or ought to have known of such discrepancy.

The Company shall clearly notify the Member of such restrictions at the time of purchase.
- If a Member cancels a subscription pursuant to Article 7, Paragraph (1), the purchased goods shall be returned, and the Company shall proceed with the refund process in accordance with the Electronic Commerce Act.
- Notwithstanding the expiration of the period for Cancellation of Subscription, etc., set forth in Article 7, Paragraph (1), a Member may request a refund for unused "Paid Credits" or terminate the Paid Service Contract at any time within five (5) years of purchase. However, Free Credits and other benefits provided by the Company free of charge (and on a no cash value basis) are excluded from refunds. If a Member terminates the contract for reasons not attributable to the Company following the expiration of the period set forth in Article 7, Paragraph (1), the Company may deduct an amount corresponding to the benefits already utilized and a refund fee (administrative fee) in accordance with the Company's refund policy and standards. These standards are posted in the Service Help or FAQ sections.
- [Subscription Reward Credit Policy] Notwithstanding non-refundability for free benefits pursuant to Article 7, Paragraph (4), Subscription Reward Credits shall be handled as follows:
