Chapter 4 Withdrawal of Subscription, Rescission and Termination of the Content Use Agreement, and Restriction of Use
Article 27 (Withdrawal of Subscription by a "Member")
(1) A "Member" who has concluded an agreement with the "Company" concerning the use of a Paid Service may withdraw the subscription within 7 days from the later of the date of purchase or the date on which the Paid Service becomes available for use, without bearing any separate fee, penalty, or the like.
(2) A "Member" may not, against the will of the "Company", withdraw the subscription under Paragraph 1 in the cases falling under the following subparagraphs.
Where the goods or the like have been lost or damaged due to reasons attributable to the "Member"
Where the "Member" has used or partially consumed the goods. In the case of "Sparks", the quantity already used for sponsorship falls under this
Where the provision of the Content has commenced. Because a "Photocard" is digital content that is allocated and the provision of which commences immediately upon purchase, withdrawal of subscription is restricted after allocation. However, in the case of an agreement composed of divisible content, this shall not apply to the portion the provision of which has not commenced
In the case of goods or services that the "Member" acquired without paying consideration, such as "Tokens", "Sparks" granted free of charge through events and the like, and "Passes"
(3) In the case of goods or the like for which withdrawal of subscription and the like is not possible pursuant to the provisions of subparagraphs 2 through 3 of Paragraph 2, the "Company" shall take measures so that the exercise of the right of withdrawal of subscription and the like is not obstructed, such as by clearly indicating such fact in a place where the "Member" can easily become aware of it, such as the payment screen or the product detail screen, or by providing information about the Content. If the "Company" has not taken such measures, the "Member" may withdraw the subscription notwithstanding the grounds for restriction of withdrawal of subscription under subparagraphs 2 through 3 of Paragraph 2.
(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraphs 1 through 3, where the substance of a Paid Service differs from the display or advertising content, or has been performed differently from the content of the agreement, a "Member" may withdraw the subscription within 3 months from the date of purchase or the date on which the Paid Service became available for use, and within 30 days from the date on which the "Member" became aware or could have become aware of such fact.
(5) A "Subscription" is automatically renewed each month, and unless it is cancelled on the subscription management screen of the "App Market" by 24 hours before the next renewal date, the usage fee for the next period will be charged. Cancellation of, refund for, and review of payment history for a "Subscription" are processed on the subscription management screen of the "App Market", and a function to cancel directly within the "DeCODE" app is not provided. The "Company" does not provide a free trial period for "Subscriptions".
(6) Applications for withdrawal of subscription and refund for Paid Services shall follow the refund procedures provided by the "App Market", and a "Member" may express such intention to the "Company" or request guidance on the procedure through the "DeCODE" customer center. Withdrawal of subscription takes effect when the "Member" expresses such intention to the "App Market" or the "Company" (in the case of a written document, on the date of dispatch thereof).
(7) The "Company" shall reply to the "Member" without delay of such fact after receiving the manifestation of intention of withdrawal of subscription expressed by the "Member".
(8) Before making a manifestation of intention of withdrawal of subscription on the grounds under Paragraph 2, a "Member" may set a considerable period and demand cure of the defect in the complete "Content" or in the use of the service.
Article 28 (Effects of Withdrawal of Subscription and of Rescission or Termination of the Agreement by a "Member")
(1) The "Company" shall refund the payment by the same method as the payment of the price within 3 business days from the date on which the "Member" made the manifestation of intention of withdrawal of subscription, or from the date on which the "Company" replied to the "Member"'s manifestation of intention of rescission or termination of the agreement, and where a refund by the same method is impossible, the "Company" shall immediately notify the "Member" thereof and refund by the method chosen by the "Member". A refund of a price paid through the "App Market" shall be made in accordance with the refund procedures and policies of the "App Market". In such case, where the "Company" delays the refund of the price of the Content to the "Member", the "Company" shall pay delay interest calculated in accordance with the "Content User Protection Guidelines" for the period of such delay (hereinafter referred to as "delay compensation").
(2) Where the "Company" makes a refund pursuant to Paragraph 1, it may deduct the amount corresponding to the benefit that the "Member" obtained from the use of the service and refund the remainder.
(3) In refunding the above price, where the "Member" paid the price through the "App Market", the "Company" shall without delay request the "App Market" operator to suspend or cancel the billing of the price, or shall provide guidance on the refund procedures of the "App Market". However, this may not apply where the deduction of the amount under Paragraph 2 is necessary.
(4) Where a "Photocard" purchase is refunded through the "App Market", the "Tokens" granted as a gift for that purchase shall be recovered from the "Member"'s remaining "Tokens". Recovery shall be limited to the remaining quantity, and "Tokens" already used for voting shall not be recovered. The refunded "Photocard" shall be excluded from the "Member"'s holdings list and shall again be in the not-held state, and the result of the recovery shall be displayed in the goods history within "DeCODE".
(5) "Sparks" purchased by a "Member" are, in principle, not refunded, except in the case of withdrawal of subscription under Article 27. However, where the service is permanently terminated and normal use becomes impossible, and in the case of Permanent Suspension under Article 30, Paragraph 2, the "Company" shall proceed with a refund for the remaining paid "Sparks". The refund amount shall be calculated on the basis of the payment amount at the time of the initial purchase, and "Sparks" granted free of charge through events, promotions, bonuses, and the like, and "Sparks" provided on discounted terms, are excluded from the scope of refund.
(6) Where a "Member" simultaneously holds goods purchased for consideration and goods granted free of charge through events, promotions, and the like, the free-of-charge portion shall be deducted first when the goods are used. The "Company" manages the balances of paid goods and free goods separately.
(7) "Tokens" have no expiration period and do not lapse. No separate expiration period is set for "Sparks", and where the service is terminated pursuant to Article 21, Paragraph 5, the usage period of a Paid Service with no fixed period shall be up to the date of termination announced at the time of the service termination announcement.
(8) Where the "Company", the "person who received payment of the price of the Content, etc.", or the "person who concluded the Content use agreement with the Member" are not the same person, each of them shall be jointly and severally liable for the performance of obligations relating to the refund of the price arising from withdrawal of subscription or rescission and termination of the agreement.
(9) The "Company" shall not claim a penalty or damages from a "Member" on the grounds of withdrawal of subscription. However, rescission and termination of the agreement by a "Member" shall not affect a claim for damages.
(10) Where the preceding nine paragraphs conflict with the policies of the "App Market" operator, the policies of the "App Market" operator shall prevail.
Article 29 (Rescission and Termination of the Agreement and Restriction of Use by the Company)
(1) Where a "Member" violates the obligations set forth in Article 19 or commits an act prohibited by these Terms, the "Company" may restrict the use of the entirety of that "Member"'s "DeCODE" account or terminate the agreement. Restriction of use is implemented by restricting the use of the entire account rather than a particular function.
(2) The period of restriction of use shall be 3 days, 7 days, or 30 days depending on the gravity of the violation, and where the "Company" deems it necessary in consideration of the gravity of the violation and the degree of intent or negligence, it may restrict use permanently (hereinafter referred to as "Permanent Suspension"). In the case of a serious violation such as the posting of sexual content, infringement of another person's personal information, or copyright infringement, a longer period of restriction of use or Permanent Suspension may be applied regardless of the number of violations. In the case of a violation of relevant laws, such as misappropriation of identity and misappropriation of payment, provision of illegal programs and interference with operations, illegal communications and hacking, distribution of malicious programs, or acts exceeding access authority, Permanent Suspension may be applied immediately.
(3) The detailed standards for restriction of use shall be determined internally by the "Company" and shall not be disclosed externally. A violation history that served as the basis for a restriction of use shall be excluded from the calculation of the standards for restriction of use once 90 days have elapsed from the date of its occurrence.
(4) In principle, the "Company" shall notify the relevant "Member" in person of the grounds for and period of a restriction of use before imposing it. However, where urgent measures are necessary, notification may be given without delay after the restriction of use. The fact of a restriction of use shall be notified only to the relevant "Member" in person, and where the "Member" accesses "DeCODE" during the period of restriction of use, the display of a restriction-of-use guidance screen may substitute for the notification.
(5) During the period of restriction of use, a "Member" may not use the functions of "DeCODE" and may only file an objection under Paragraph 6.
(6) A "Member" may file an objection in accordance with the procedure determined by the "Company" within 14 days from the date of receipt of the notification of the restriction of use. The "Company" shall reply to the "Member" with the result within 15 days from the date on which the objection is received, and where it recognizes the objection as justified, it shall immediately lift the restriction of use and restore the hidden postings and the like. The fact of the lifting shall be notified to the "Member" in person.
(7) Where a "Member" subject to a restriction of use creates a new account or uses another account for the purpose of evading it, the "Company" may also impose a restriction of use on accounts determined to belong to the same person. The standards for determining the same person shall not be disclosed externally.
(8) The "Company" may temporarily restrict transmission in accordance with standards determined by the "Company" in order to prevent flooding and the repeated transmission of identical phrases. This measure applies at all times separately from the restriction of use under this Article, and its standards shall not be disclosed pursuant to Article 7, Paragraph 2.
(9) Termination of the agreement under Paragraph 1 takes effect when the "Company" expresses such intention to the "Member" in accordance with the method of notice set forth in Article 12.
Article 30 (Effects of Rescission and Termination of the Agreement by the Company)
(1) In the case of a restriction of use with a fixed period of 3 days, 7 days, or 30 days, the "Tokens", "Sparks", "Photocards", and "Subscription" held by the "Member" shall be maintained as they are and shall not lapse or be terminated on the grounds of the restriction of use. A restriction of use does not affect the renewal of an "App Market" subscription, and the "Member" may manage the "Subscription" in the "App Market".
(2) In the case of Permanent Suspension, the "Company" shall terminate the "Member"'s "Subscription" and refund the amount corresponding to the remaining "Subscription" period and the balance of "Sparks" purchased by the "Member" for consideration. In such case, the "Company" may deduct 10% of the paid "Spark" balance. Where the "Company" cannot directly cancel the "Subscription" or make a refund due to the policies of the "App Market", the "Company" shall provide the "Member" with guidance on the cancellation and refund procedures through the "App Market".
(3) In the case of Permanent Suspension, "Tokens" and "Sparks" granted free of charge through events and the like shall lapse, and "Photocards" held by the "Member" are not subject to refund.
(4) The postings and comments of a permanently suspended "Member" shall not be deleted but shall be hidden so that they are not visible to other "Members", and the account data shall be preserved during the objection period under Article 29, Paragraph 6.
(5) The effects of rescission and termination of the service agreement due to reasons attributable to a "Member" shall be governed mutatis mutandis by Article 29.
