② The contract is deemed formed at the time the Company's acceptance (completion of payment and issuance of the Mobile Voucher) reaches the user.
③ The expression of acceptance includes information such as confirmation of the purchase application, availability of the reservation, and guidance on the issuance of the Mobile Voucher.
Article 14 (Payment Methods and Payment Agency)
① A user may pay the price by one of the following payment methods, as provided in the Service.
- Payment by various cards, such as credit cards and debit cards
- Other payment methods determined by the Company and provided within the Service
② Payment is processed through KG INICIS (the "PG"), an electronic payment gateway provider, and card information such as credit card numbers is collected and processed directly by the PG and is not stored by the Company.
③ The Company does not additionally collect any fees of any kind from the user's payment method beyond the price. However, overseas payment fees, currency exchange fees, and the like imposed by card companies or banks are governed by Article 15.
④ If payment is delayed or fails due to reasons not attributable to the Company, such as a failure in the PG's payment system or a delay in card company approval, the Company is not responsible for the delay, and the user must make the payment again or re-apply for the reservation.
Article 15 (Payment Currency and Exchange Rates)
① Payment may be made in Korean won (KRW) or in a commonly used payment currency supported by the Service (such as USD).
② If a user pays in a currency other than KRW or with an overseas-issued card, the final amount charged on the user's card statement may differ from the amount displayed in the Service due to the exchange rates and overseas service fees (including DCC fees) applied by the card company, the PG, or the bank. However, if re-payment or re-refund occurs due to the Company's intent, negligence, or a system error, the Company bears the difference.
③ Differences arising from exchange rate fluctuations and fees under the preceding paragraph are borne by the user, and the Company is not responsible for them. Upon refund as well, a difference may arise between the original payment amount and the refunded amount due to the difference in exchange rates between the time of payment and the time of refund, which is also borne by the user.
Article 16 (Issuance and Use of Mobile Vouchers)
① The Company immediately issues a Mobile Voucher in the form of a QR code to a user whose payment has been completed, within the Service or via email.
② The user uses the Mobile Voucher by presenting it (QR code scan) at the Partner Spot within the Validity Period, and a voucher whose Validity Period has expired cannot be used.
③ Mobile Vouchers may not be transferred to others, and if a voucher is used through fraudulent duplication, forgery, or alteration, the Company may refuse its use and is not responsible for any resulting disadvantages.
Chapter 5. Withdrawal of Offer, Cancellation, and Refund
Article 17 (Withdrawal of Offer, etc.)
① A user who has concluded a contract with the Company for the purchase of a Mobile Voucher may withdraw the offer within 7 days from the date of receiving a document (including in electronic form) stating the contents of the contract, in accordance with Article 17 of the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce.
② However, withdrawal of the offer may be restricted in the following cases, and the Company clearly indicates such restrictions, and the cases where it does not bear responsibility for damage to goods and the like during the period in which the user may exercise the right of withdrawal, in a place where the user can easily see them before purchase.
The Company notifies the user of the grounds for restricting withdrawal of offer under each item of this Paragraph 2 through a separate screen before the user completes payment and obtains the user's consent. In the absence of such prior consent, the Company does not assert the restriction of withdrawal of offer against the user.
- The user has already used the Mobile Voucher (used the QR code at a Partner Spot)
- The date of use (reservation date) has already passed
- The provision of the service has begun due to a cause attributable to the user, where the Company has notified this in advance
* In this Article, 'the provision of the service has begun' means the point in time at which the user actually uses (scans/verifies) the QR code of the Mobile Voucher at a Partner Spot.
③ If the Mobile Voucher differs from the displayed or advertised contents or is performed differently from the contents of the contract, the user may withdraw the offer within 3 months from the date of receiving the goods or services, or within 30 days from the date the user became aware or could have become aware of such fact.
Article 18 (Cancellation and Refund of Unused Vouchers – Within the Validity Period)
① If a user has not used a purchased Mobile Voucher, the user may request cancellation and refund before the refundable period in accordance with the refund provisions of Article 19.
② A Mobile Voucher that has not been used before the Validity Period expires is not refunded unless otherwise provided, and this is clearly notified to the user before purchase.
Article 19 (Cancellation Fees and Refund Standards for Reservation-type Vouchers)
① For the cancellation of a reservation-type voucher for which a date and time of use is designated, the specific standards such as the refund ratio and cancellation fee may vary by product and are governed by the individual cancellation and refund policy notified on the payment (purchase) screen of each product. By completing payment, the user is deemed to have agreed to the applicable individual policy.
For products for which no cancellation or refund standards are separately notified or confirmed on the payment screen, the following default standards apply. All cancellation deadlines and the timing of fee application are calculated based on Korea Standard Time (KST, UTC+9).
| Time of cancellation | Refund ratio | Cancellation fee |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 days before the scheduled date of use | 100% refund | None |
| Up to 1 day before the scheduled date of use | 50% refund | 50% |
| On the day of use or no-show | No refund | 100% |
The above default standards apply only to products for which no separate standards are notified on the payment screen. Terms of use separately specified on individual product pages and payment screens (refund and cancellation standards, reservation methods, available times and number of persons, etc.) take precedence over the default standards under these Terms, and matters not notified in advance in the individual product terms are governed by these default standards.
The Company clearly notifies the cancellation and refund standards on the payment screen of each individual product in a form that users can easily recognize, and if it fails to do so, it cannot assert restrictions on withdrawal of offer or the imposition of fees for that product against the user.
② Depending on the characteristics of a Partner Spot's products (season-limited products, products confirmed immediately upon reservation, etc.), the Company may set cancellation and refund standards different from those in Paragraph 1, in which case it clearly notifies the individual cancellation fee standards for the product on the payment screen before purchase. Where individually notified standards exist, those standards prevail.
③ The cancellation fees under Paragraphs 1 and 2 are operated within a scope that does not contravene the purport of the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce and the Consumer Dispute Resolution Standards (notification of the Korea Fair Trade Commission).
Article 20 (Refunds Due to Causes Attributable to the Company)
In any of the following cases, the Company refunds the full payment amount (100%) to the user.
- The reservation was not processed normally or a duplicate payment was made due to an error in the Company's system
- The user became unable to use the reserved service because the contract with the Partner Spot was terminated due to the Company's circumstances
- The user rescinds the contract on the ground that the product information provided by the Company was displayed or advertised differently from the facts
- The user otherwise became unable to use the Service normally due to a cause attributable to the Company
Article 21 (Refund Procedure and Method)
① The Company refunds the payment within 3 business days after the grounds for withdrawal of offer or cancellation and refund are confirmed, and in case of delay, pays delay interest as prescribed by the Enforcement Decree of the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce.
② Refunds are made by the payment method used by the user (credit card, etc.), and where payment was made by credit card, the Company requests the PG and the card company without delay to suspend or cancel the billing.
③ In cases of withdrawal of offer and the like, the Company does not claim penalties or damages from the user. However, unless the withdrawal is due to the contents of the Mobile Voucher differing from the display or advertisement or being performed differently from the contents of the contract, the cancellation fee under Article 19 may be deducted.
Chapter 6. Disclaimer and Liability
Article 22 (Disclaimer Regarding Partner Spots)
① The Company brokers transactions so that they proceed smoothly between users and Partner Spots, and the contents of a reserved service may be unavoidably changed or become difficult to provide due to the on-site circumstances of a Partner Spot (changes in business hours, temporary closure, facility inspection, stock depletion, natural disasters, etc.).
② When a cause under the preceding paragraph arises, the Company notifies the user as soon as it becomes aware of it and takes measures so that the user may choose among coordinating an alternative schedule, changing to a similar product, or receiving a refund under Article 20.
③ The Company is not liable for the quality or safety of products and services independently provided by a Partner Spot, or for accidents occurring on site, unless the Company has committed intent or gross negligence, such as leaving false information unaddressed or failing to disclose risk information. However, the Company exercises reasonable care in selecting and managing Partner Spots.
④ With respect to disputes arising between a user and a Partner Spot, the Company plays a mediating role for amicable resolution, but the final liability for damages is borne by the party at fault (the Company or the Partner Spot).
Article 23 (Obligations of the Company)

Article 28 (Governing Law and Competent Court)
① The laws of the Republic of Korea apply as the governing law to the interpretation of these Terms and to all disputes arising between the Company and users.
② The competent court for litigation concerning electronic commerce disputes arising between the Company and a user shall be the court having jurisdiction under the Civil Procedure Act and related laws, or, for consumer-related disputes, the court having jurisdiction over the consumer's address at the time the suit is filed. This agreement on the competent court remains valid even if the user has an address or residence in a foreign country.
