<Chapter 5 Subscription Withdrawal, Contract Termination and Cancellation>

 

Article 23 (Payment for Mobile Games)

The imposition and payment of purchase prices for content shall, in principle, follow the policies or methods determined by the mobile carrier, open market operator, or similar parties. In addition, limits for each payment method may be granted or adjusted in accordance with the policies of the Company, the mobile carrier, the open market operator, or government guidelines.

If the purchase price for content is paid in foreign currency, the actual billed amount may differ from the price displayed in the service store due to exchange rates, fees, and other factors.

 

Article 24 (Withdrawal of Subscription, etc.)

A Member who has entered into a contract with the Company for the use of paid services may withdraw from the subscription within 7 days of the purchase contract date or the date the paid Game Service becomes available, without incurring any separate fees or penalties.

Members may not withdraw from the subscription under Paragraph 1 against the Company’s will in the following cases:

1. When goods, etc., are lost or damaged due to reasons attributable to the Member.

2. When the Member has used or partially consumed the goods.

a. Paid content that is used or applied immediately upon purchase.

b. Content with additional benefits or bundled sales content where the additional

benefits have been used or a portion of the content has been used.

c. When the act of opening is deemed to constitute use, or when the utility of the

content is determined upon opening, and such opening has occurred.

3. When the provision of content has already commenced. However, in the case of contracts consisting of divisible content, this shall not apply to portions of the content that have not yet been provided.

For goods, etc., for which subscription withdrawal is not possible under Items 2 and 3 of Paragraph 2, the Company shall clearly indicate this in a place easily accessible to the Member or take measures such as providing trial products, so that the Member’s exercise of the right of withdrawal is not hindered. If the Company fails to take such measures, then notwithstanding the restrictions on withdrawal of subscription in Items 2 and 3 of Paragraph 2, the Member may still withdraw from the subscription.

Notwithstanding Paragraphs 1 through 3, if the paid service differs from what was displayed or advertised or is performed differently from the contract, the Member may withdraw from the subscription within 3 months from the purchase date or the date the paid service became available, or within 30 days from the date the Member became aware or could have become aware of such fact.

Members may withdraw from a subscription verbally or in writing (including electronic documents).

When a Member withdraws from a mobile game-related subscription, the Company shall verify the purchase history through the platform operator or open market operator. The Company may also contact the Member using the information provided by the Member in order to confirm the legitimate reason for withdrawal and may request additional evidence.

When a minor Member enters into a paid Game Service contract requiring payment, the Company shall inform them that the contract may be canceled by the minor or their legal representative if there is no consent from the legal representative. If a minor enters into the contract without such consent, the minor or the legal representative may cancel the contract with the Company. However, if the minor entered into the contract with property that the legal representative allowed them to dispose of within a defined scope, or if the minor deceived the Company into believing that they were of legal age or had obtained the consent of their legal representative, the contract may not be canceled.

Whether a party to the Game Service usage contract is a minor shall be determined based on factors such as the device used for payment, the information of the person executing the payment, and the name of the holder of the payment method. The Company may also request submission of documents proving that the person is a minor and that they are a legal representative in order to verify the legitimacy of the cancellation.

 

Article 25 (Refund of Erroneous Payments)

If an erroneous payment occurs, the Company shall refund the full amount of the erroneous payment using the same method as the original payment. However, if a refund through the same method is not possible, the Company shall notify the Member in advance.

If the erroneous payment is due to reasons attributable to the Company, the Company shall refund the full amount regardless of contract costs, fees, or other expenses. However, if the erroneous payment is due to reasons attributable to the Member, the Member shall bear the costs incurred by the Company in refunding the erroneous payment within a reasonable range.

If the Company refuses to refund an erroneous payment claimed by a Member, the Company bears the burden of proving that the payment was duly charged.

In the case of mobile games, refunds shall be processed according to the refund policies of each open market operator or the Company, depending on the type of operating system of the mobile device used for the Service.
