The Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, regardless of the principles of conflicts of law and the location of the Customer.
The Customer and Company permanently agree to the exclusive judicial power and jurisdiction of the Seoul Central District Court and waive the right to object to the inconvenience caused by the exclusive judicial power and jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the preceding Paragraph, the judgments and decisions of the Seoul Central District Court may be executed by any court in the locations of the Customer and Company.

10-4 Compliance with Trade law

To purchase and/or use Service, the Customer agrees to comply with all applicable laws on data protection, imports, re-imports, sanctions, anti-boycotts and export control, and national export control systems, including EU Dual Use Export Controls, US Export Administration Regulations, International Traffic in Arms Regulations, and international and national economic sanction programs. To avoid confusion, the Customer (and its end-user, if applicable) is solely responsible for compliance with any applicable regulations related to the ways that the Customer chooses for the use of the Service, including the transmission and processing of the Customer’s information, and for the corporate Customers, the use of the end user’s information. All the information uploaded by the Customer or its end users can be hosted on the Company’s servers across the world, and the Customer cannot upload the information listed on the relevant trade restrictions list and is responsible for ensuring that its end user does not upload any prohibited information. The Customer confirms and guarantees that the Customer is not the subject list of sanctions enforced by the UN Security Council, the National Security Council, the U.S Government (e.g., the list of the EU countries designated by the U.S government and list of overseas sanction-applied member countries of the corresponding countries), and any other organizations that are not limited to the same.

11. Additional Clause

11-1 Restricted Use of Spammer

The Company may restrict the use of Service or terminate the Service Contract if the Customer’s activity, with respect to sending spam mail (here, the “spam mail” is defined as advertising information for marketing sent or published unilaterally against the recipient’s obvious refusal of receiving mail), falls into the following cases.
1. The Korean Communications Committee or Korea Internet and Security Agency detect the Customer’s activity of sending spam mail and request stoppage of the Customer’s use of the Service.
2. The Customer sends spam mail in mass and causes failures in the Service system, or such failure is likely to occur.
3. The Customer continues to send spam mail even after the recipient demanded deletion of his/her email address from the recipient list.
The Customer may be held liable for civil and criminal liability for sending or posting advertising information for commercial purposes unilaterally against the recipient’s explicit intent to refuse.

11-2 Promotion

The Customer agrees to allow the Company to use their name and logo and provide a general description of their relationship with the Company for press releases and other marketing materials.

11-3 Independent Contractor

The Company and the Customer are independent contractors. This agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship between the company and the Customer.

11-4 Language

All the means of communication that the Company uses for posts or notifications under the Terms are provided in Korean. In this case, the Company can provide the English version along with the Korean version for the convenience of the user. However, when the Company provides the English version of the Terms, posts or notifications, the Korean version prevails over any discrepancies between the Korean and English versions. Nonetheless, the Customer can choose either Korean or English as the language for communications with the Company.

If there are any additions, deletions, or modifications to this Term of Service, we will provide prior notice at least 7 days in advance.
