Article 4 (What the Service provides)

The Operator provides the following free of charge:

• Market price index
• Calculators: loans (LTV and DSR), acquisition, capital gains and holding taxes, brokerage fees, jeonse safety check, and housing subscription score

The Service is used without sign-up or login. The Operator may display advertising on the Service to support its operation.

Article 5 (Connect registrations and management)

1. Users may register a consumer request or a provider service on Connect. Registration content (title or business name, description, region, budget or price range, keywords, languages, and any license or business number entered) is public; contact details are shown only to a counterpart whose connection proposal has been accepted.
2. The management link issued with a registration is the only way to manage it. Because the Operator does not store the link itself, it cannot be reissued. Users must keep it safe and must not share it.
3. Unless caused by the Operator's intent or negligence, the Operator is not responsible for consequences of a management link being lost or exposed to others. If you lose your link, you can request deletion at (contact email coming soon).

5. The handling of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy.

Article 6 (User obligations)

1. Users are responsible for ensuring that what they register is true, accurate and lawful.
2. Providers offering work that requires a qualification, license or registration by law (for example, real-estate brokerage, legal services, tax representation or construction) must hold it.
3. When contacting or dealing with another user, you must verify that person's identity, qualifications and contract terms yourself.

Article 7 (Prohibited conduct)

Users must not:

• Register false listings or information that is not true
• Commit fraud or otherwise deceive or harm others, including obtaining money by deception
• Engage in illegal brokerage, such as unregistered brokerage in violation of the Licensed Real Estate Agents Act
• Offer or advertise professional services that legally require a qualification or license without holding one
• Spam, including repeatedly posting advertising without permission
• Post discriminatory or hateful content based on nationality, race, gender, religion, disability, age or similar grounds
• Register, collect or use another person's personal data without consent
• Impersonate others or use another person's management link without authorization
• Send mass requests by automated means or otherwise interfere with the normal operation of the Service

4. The Operator is not obliged to review every registration in advance.

Article 9 (Transactions between users)

1. Connect is a board that helps users find each other. The Operator is not a licensed real-estate brokerage and does not broker or act as an agent for contracts between users.
2. Contracts, payments and the provision of services between users take place directly between the parties; the Operator is not a party to them.
3. The Operator does not guarantee any provider's qualifications, identity, quality of work or performance of a contract. Any license or business number shown on a registration was entered by the registering user and has not been verified by the Operator.
4. Disputes between users must be resolved by the parties. The Operator may, however, cooperate with requests from the relevant authorities where required by law.

2. Actual taxes, loan limits, construction costs and similar amounts may differ from calculated results depending on personal circumstances, a lender's assessment, site conditions and changes in the law.
3. Information on the Service is not legal, tax or financial advice. Confirm with the relevant authority or a qualified professional before making an important decision.
4. The listings are currently sample data for demonstrating the feature and do not represent properties actually available for transaction.

Article 11 (Changes to and suspension of the Service)

1. The Operator may improve or change the Service and will announce important changes on the Service.
2. The Operator may temporarily suspend all or part of the Service for maintenance, failures, discontinuation of external services (such as maps or address search) or other unavoidable reasons.
3. Because the Service is free, the Operator does not provide separate compensation for changes to or suspension of the Service unless applicable law specifically requires it. This does not apply where the Operator acted with intent or gross negligence.

Article 12 (Intellectual property)

1. Copyright and other intellectual property rights in content created by the Operator — including the design, software, guide articles and calculation logic of the Service — belong to the Operator or the rightful owner. Users may not copy, distribute or commercially exploit them without the Operator's prior permission. Personal, non-commercial use and quotation within a fair scope with attribution are permitted.
2. Rights in materials provided by third parties, such as maps and public data, belong to each provider, and that provider's terms of use apply.
3. Rights in a registration belong to the user who registered it. The user grants the Operator a free license to use the registration content (displaying it, showing translations, making it searchable, etc.) to the extent necessary to operate and display the Service. This license ends when the registration is deleted.

5. Service disruptions caused by events beyond the Operator's control, such as natural disasters or failures of external services
