A member who continues to use the Service after the effective date is deemed to have accepted the amended Terms. Members who do not agree may stop using the Service and close their account.

Article 4. Membership Registration

A service agreement is formed when an applicant agrees to these Terms, submits the information required by the Company, and the Company accepts the application.

Student Members may register with an email address or a social account. Agency Members register through a separate process, and the Company may request documents proving lawful business activity. The Company may refuse or revoke acceptance if the information provided is untrue.

The Company may refuse an application in the following cases: use of false information or another person's information, a previous account termination for violating these Terms, or other cases where acceptance would significantly interfere with the operation of the Service.

If a member discovers unauthorized use of their account, they must notify the Company immediately, and the Company may temporarily lock the account to protect the member.
