Article 2 (Effectiveness and Amendment of the Terms)

1. These Terms shall be notified to users by being posted on the Company’s website, mobile application, or through other designated methods (e.g., announcements, email, notifications, etc.), and shall take effect when the user agrees to the Terms during registration or uses the Service. 2. The Company may amend these Terms to the extent that such amendments do not violate applicable laws (including the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, etc.). In the event of such an amendment, the Company shall notify users of the details, reasons, and effective date of the amendment at least 7 days prior to the effective date via the Service’s announcements or other appropriate means. 3. However, if the amendment is unfavorable to users or involves significant changes to their rights and obligations, the Company shall provide notice at least 30 days in advance. The Company shall present a comparison of the previous and amended Terms to make the changes easier for users to understand. 4. When notifying users of the amended Terms pursuant to Paragraphs 2 and 3, the Company shall also inform users that failure to explicitly express objection by the effective date will be deemed as acceptance of the amended Terms. If the user continues to use the Service without expressing any objection, the user shall be considered to have agreed to the amended Terms. 5. If a user does not agree to the amended Terms, and there are special circumstances where the existing Terms cannot be applied or continued service provision is significantly hindered, the Company may terminate the service agreement with that user. 6. The procedures and methods of notification under this Article may vary depending on the type and environment of the Service (web/app), and the Company may improve the methods and content of the notice to enhance user understanding.
