Until the Company has established age-rating classification (including designation as a self-rating business operator or linkage with a rating classification agency) or an equivalent procedure for game content, the Company disables the unreviewed automatic instant-publication feature for game content targeting Korean users and publishes only game content for which the age-rating classification procedure has been completed. The method and timing of publication after the age-rating classification procedure is fully established are determined by the Company as an operating policy within the scope consistent with applicable laws.

3. Measures Upon Violation
The Company may withhold publication in advance, immediately unpublish, or delete game content that violates or is suspected of violating the above obligations; and if content is modified after publication such that reclassification is required, it may be temporarily unpublished.
#Article 6-4 (Open-Source Software and Third-Party Rights)
1. Compliance with Open-Source Licenses
A seller who registers code or digital products must declare the open-source software components contained in such products and their licenses, and must fulfill the obligations required by those licenses.
- Permissive licenses such as MIT and Apache-2.0: Include the full license text and copyright notice in all forms of distribution (including binaries and packages).

- All transaction conditions—including prices, subscription fees, commissions, point conversion, coupons, and promotions—and the final amount borne by the user are clearly displayed at the initial stage of the payment screen, and the Company does not use a method of displaying only part of the price first and revealing additional costs in stages (drip pricing).
#Article 7-1-2 (Buyer Subscription — Download Plans)
The Company may provide subscription services that grant buyers product downloads and supplementary benefits. The buyer download plans under this Article are entirely separate and distinct products from the seller commission plans (Creator Pro / Creator Business) under Article 7-2, even if their prices are similar. Buyer download plans provide product download rights, while seller commission plans provide commission discounts on sales. To avoid confusion between the two plans, they are clearly distinguished on the payment screen.
1. Plan Types and Fees

|---|
| Free | ₩0 | 3 per month | — | Basic downloads |

| Business | ₩29,900 | Unlimited | 14 days | Pro benefits + commercial license · team member management (up to 5) · API access · custom branding · dedicated account manager |
The above fees are monthly subscription fees; the final amount borne by the user and the conditions, including whether VAT is included, are clearly displayed on the payment screen before payment and in the Refund Policy. Before a free trial ends and converts to paid billing, the Company provides advance notice of that fact and of the payment amount.
The Starter plan has been discontinued. The former Starter plan (₩4,900/month, 10 downloads per month) is no longer available for new sign-ups, and its benefits are maintained for existing subscribers only until separately notified.
2. Refunds
Subscription fees are refunded in full when requested within 7 days of payment AND when no benefits have been used (see the Refund Policy for details).
3. Auto-Renewal and Cancellation
Subscriptions automatically renew on a monthly basis, and before a free trial ends and converts to paid billing, the Company provides advance notice of that fact and of the payment amount. Upon cancellation, benefits are maintained until the end of the current billing period, after which the account reverts to the Free tier.
#Article 7-2 (Seller Subscription — Commission Plans)
The Company provides sellers with subscription services that discount the platform commission on product sales. The seller commission plans under this Article (Creator Pro / Creator Business) are entirely separate and distinct products from the buyer download plans under Article 7-1-2, even if their prices are similar. Seller commission plans provide commission discounts on sales, while buyer download plans provide download rights.
1. Subscription Plan Types and Fees

6. Subscription Management
- Auto-Renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew on a monthly basis. Payment is retried up to 3 times upon failure, after which the subscription is cancelled.
- Cancellation: Upon cancellation, benefits are maintained until the end of the current billing period, after which the account reverts to the Free tier.
- Tier Changes: Processed in accordance with paragraph ⑦ "Subscription Tier Change Policy (Asymmetric Application · No Dark Patterns)" below.
- Refunds: Subscription fee refunds are processed according to the Refund Policy (100% refund within 7 days of payment if benefits have not been used).
7. Subscription Tier Change Policy (Asymmetric Application · No Dark Patterns)
To guarantee zero loss for Members on subscription tier changes, the Company applies an asymmetric model. In addition, when converting a subscription from free to paid or increasing the amount charged, the Company obtains the Member's prior consent and clearly notifies the Member of that fact in advance, and does not use methods that impede a consumer's reasonable choice (dark patterns), such as hidden renewals, obstruction of cancellation or termination procedures, or deceptive pre-selection of particular options. As a matter of principle, this policy results in zero prorated refunds. The detailed change procedures follow (a)–(d) below.
(a) Upgrade — Immediate effect + remaining-period prorated charge
- When a Member requests an upgrade to a higher tier, the new tier's benefits take effect immediately at the time of request.
- The prorated difference for the remaining billing period is charged immediately. Formula:
Difference = remainingDays ÷ periodDays × (newTierPrice - currentTierPrice) (floored to integer KRW)
- A registered payment method (billing key) is required for upgrades.
- If the prorated charge fails, the upgrade is withheld and the Member is notified immediately.
Example: Upgrading from Pro (₩9,900) to Business (₩29,900) on day 10 of the cycle
→ 20/30 × (₩29,900 - ₩9,900) = ₩13,333 charged immediately + Business applied immediately.
(b) Downgrade — Effective at the next billing cycle start
- When a Member requests a downgrade, the current tier's benefits remain available through the end of the current billing period.
- The change takes effect automatically at the next billing cycle start; no prorated refund is issued.
- The Member may cancel the scheduled change for free before the next billing date.
(c) Subscription Cancellation — Remaining-period use + expiration
- Upon cancellation, the current tier's benefits remain available through the end of the current billing period, after which the account automatically reverts to Free.
- No refund is issued at the time of cancellation.
(d) Within-7-Days Immediate Refund Request (Exception)
- A full refund is available only when requested within 7 days of payment AND no benefits have been used. See the Refund Policy for details.
This asymmetric model is identical to global SaaS standards used by Netflix, Adobe, AWS, and GitHub.
#Article 7-3 (Commission Service)
The Company provides a work request (Commission) service between Members.
- Commission budget range: KRW 10,000 to KRW 100,000,000
- Commission fee: Standard commissions 15%, escrow (secure transaction) inclusive 20%
- Upon commission completion, the platform commission is deducted from the budget and settled with the creator.
- Commission-related disputes are handled in accordance with the Operation Guidelines.
Escrow (Secure Transaction) Detailed Rules
- Fund Custody: Escrow funds are held by the payment gateway (PG); the Company does not directly hold the funds.
- Custody Period: Up to 90 days from the commission registration date. Items not completed within 90 days are automatically refunded.
- Release Conditions: Funds are released only when the requester confirms the deliverable and marks it as "Completed."
- Automatic Release: If the requester does not proceed with confirmation or dispute procedures within 14 days after delivery, funds are automatically released.
- Freezing Grounds: The Company may withhold escrow fund release in the following cases:

Electronic Contracts for High-Value Commissions (KRW 1,000,000 or more)
- For commissions with budgets of KRW 1,000,000 or more, a tripartite electronic contract is concluded among the requester, service provider, and platform.
- Electronic contracts have legal effect equivalent to paper documents pursuant to Article 4 of the Framework Act on Electronic Documents and Transactions and Article 3 of the Digital Signature Act.
- The electronic contract includes project scope, delivery date, fees, intellectual property attribution, non-disclosure agreement (NDA), and dispute resolution methods.

This service is operated in accordance with Article 50 of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection ("Information and Communications Network Act").
0. Prior Consent and Distinction Between Informational Notices
- Advertising information (product promotions, promotional offers, discount announcements, etc.) is sent only when the recipient's explicit prior consent (opt-in) has been obtained. Consent to receive such information is a separate item from membership and payment agreements, and there is no restriction on service use even if consent is not given.
- Informational notices (purchase confirmations, settlement notices, point accrual/deduction, coupon expiration, security/login notices, and other notices necessary for the performance of transactions or contracts) may be sent regardless of whether consent to receive has been given. However, if advertising or promotion is combined with an informational notice, it is converted into advertising information and becomes subject to prior consent.
- All advertising emails include the "(Advertisement)" indication, the sender's name and contact information, and a free unsubscribe method, and are not sent to users who have opted out. Opt-out and withdrawal of consent are processed immediately, and the result is notified within 14 days.
- If the Company entrusts marketing transmission to a third party (an email/SMS agency), it entrusts only to a trustee qualified under applicable laws.
