Article 1 (Purpose)

The purpose of these Terms is to set out the rights, obligations and responsibilities between Onetop (원탑) (the "Company" or "UUP") and the partners participating in the Partner Program (the "Program") operated by the Company, and matters concerning the calculation and payment of commissions.

Article 2 (Definitions)

  1. Partner: an individual or business that participates in the Program with the Company's approval under Article 3.
  2. Partner link: a unique URL the Company issues to a partner (https://uup.kr/p/{code}). A partner may be issued multiple partner links in order to distinguish performance.
  3. Attributed sign-up: a visitor accessing the Service through a partner link and then being connected to that partner in accordance with the criteria in Article 4 and completing member sign-up. In these Terms, a member so connected is referred to as an "attributed member".
  4. Commission: the amount that accrues to a partner under Article 5 in respect of an attributed member's payments for paid plans.
  5. Net receipts: the amount the Company actually receives from the payment provider in connection with a payment for a paid plan. It is the amount paid by the user less value-added tax and payment fees, and the Company uses the value the payment provider notifies to it as is.
  6. Confirmation: a commission being added to the partner's balance after the holdback period under Article 6 has passed without any ground for voiding. A commission that has not yet been confirmed is "pending", and one that has lapsed because a ground for voiding occurred is "void".
  7. Balance: the amount of confirmed commissions less amounts already requested and paid and the deductions under Article 9. The balance is the sum of a monetary ledger maintained by the Company and may become negative as a result of deductions.
  8. Payout request: a partner designating all or part of their balance and requesting payment.
  9. Partner Center: the screens where a partner checks performance, commissions and balance and requests payouts (https://uup.kr/partners).
  10. Program withdrawal: a partner leaving the Program and ending their partner status. Service membership and the account remain intact.
  11. Member withdrawal: a user terminating the Service use agreement and deleting their account. The procedure and requirements follow Article 7 of the Terms of Service, and when member withdrawal is processed, partner status ends together with it.

Because the two events have entirely different consequences (program withdrawal leaves the account intact, while member withdrawal deletes it), the articles of these Terms never say simply "withdrawal" but always distinguish "program withdrawal" from "member withdrawal".

Article 3 (Partner eligibility and approval)

  1. The Program is operated on an approval basis. Anyone may apply to participate, but only those approved after the Company's review become partners, and these Terms apply from the time of approval.
  2. A partner must agree to these Terms, and the Terms of Service (https://uup.kr/terms) and the Privacy Policy (https://uup.kr/privacy) apply together with them. Where these Terms and the Terms of Service conflict, these Terms prevail as to the Program.
  3. Partner status is limited to the account the Company has approved and may not be transferred, lent or inherited.
  4. The Company may reject an application as a result of its review, and may suspend or terminate a partner's status. The Company states the reason for approval, rejection, suspension or termination, and retains records of them.
  5. The Company may reject an application, or suspend or terminate partner status, in any of the following cases.
  • Where the person has engaged in the prohibited conduct under Article 10, or there is a substantial risk that they will
  • Where the application contains false statements or omissions
  • Where the account is subject to a use restriction for breach of the Terms of Service
  • Where the Company otherwise determines that the application does not fit the purpose of the Program
  1. A partner may effect program withdrawal at any time by notifying the Company. Because program withdrawal ends only partner status, Service membership and the account remain intact. Even after program withdrawal, the Company's obligation to pay any unpaid balance accrued up to that point and the partner's return obligation under Article 9 do not lapse, and the procedure for claiming where the partner can no longer use the Partner Center follows Article 12, Paragraph 6.
  2. Partner status presupposes a current Service member account. The Company may in the future expand the Program to allow participation by non-members, in which case it will amend these Terms and give notice.
  3. Only persons aged 19 or older may participate in the Program. Service membership is open to persons aged 14 or older, but because these Terms constitute an agreement under which cash is paid and tax obligations follow, the Company sets narrower eligibility for participation. Where an applicant is found — whether at the time of application or afterwards — to be under the age of 19, the Company rejects the application or terminates the status. Even in that case, the obligation to pay any unpaid balance that has accrued and been confirmed up to that point is maintained under Article 12, Paragraph 3.

Article 4 (Partner links and recognition of attributed sign-ups)

  1. When a visitor accesses a partner link, the Company sets an attribution cookie in that visitor's browser and then redirects them to the Service screen. When that visitor completes member sign-up, the Company reads the cookie, creates the connection with the partner, and destroys the cookie.
  2. The criterion for recognizing an attributed sign-up is last-click. Where the visitor passed through multiple partner links, the attributed sign-up is credited to the partner of the last partner link accessed.
  3. The validity period of the attribution cookie is set to the longest period the browser allows; owing to the restrictions of major browsers, the effective ceiling is 400 days.
  4. The period during which a sign-up is recognized as attributed differs from the cookie's validity period. The Company compares the access time recorded in the cookie with the sign-up time and recognizes an attributed sign-up only where the interval is within the recognition period of 90 days; that determination is made by the Company's servers. The recognition period is also displayed in the Partner Center.
  5. The Company may change the recognition period in Paragraph 4 as necessary for the operation of the Program. However, a change that shortens the period is a change disadvantageous to partners and therefore follows the advance notice procedure in Article 14, Paragraph 3.
  6. Only one attribution is recognized per attributed member. An attributed sign-up through a partner link and another referral scheme such as friend referral (the referral program) do not apply together to the same sign-up; in that case, the attributed sign-up through the partner link prevails.
  7. Partner links must be used exactly as designated by the Company (https://uup.kr/p/{code}). Where a partner alters the URL or diverts it through another route so that attribution is not established, the Company bears no obligation to pay commission in respect of it.
  8. The name, purpose and retention period of the attribution cookie follow the Privacy Policy.

Article 5 (Calculation of commissions)

  1. Commissions arise in respect of an attributed member's payments for paid plans, and the basis of calculation is not the amount the user paid but the net receipts under Article 2, Item 5.
  2. The commission rate is 20% of net receipts.
  3. The reason the basis is net receipts rather than the payment amount is as follows. The amount a user pays includes two components the Company does not receive.
  • Value-added tax — the Company's payment provider, as an overseas Merchant of Record (MoR), reports and pays the tax on the Company's behalf, and that amount does not accrue to the Company.
  • Payment fees — amounts collected by the payment provider, which do not accrue to the Company.

Accordingly, if distribution were based on the payment amount, amounts the Company never received would enter the commission calculation, and the effective distribution rate would exceed the rate in Paragraph 2.

  1. The Company does not calculate fee rates on its own. Net receipts use, as is, the value the payment provider notifies for each transaction, and may differ from transaction to transaction depending on exchange rates and payment methods.
  2. There is no limit on the period in which commissions arise (amended in v1.2 — previously "all of an attributed member's payments in their first 12 months"). For as long as the attributed member continues to pay, commission arises on each monthly payment for a monthly subscription, and on each annual payment for an annual subscription.
  3. Commission on an annual payment is confirmed over 12 months, at 1/12 each month. It is not confirmed in full at the time of payment.
  4. Commission on a transaction whose net receipts have not yet been fixed (a transaction for which the payment provider has not yet notified the value) is displayed as "on hold" and is not treated as zero. Once the value is fixed, it is included in the next settlement.
  5. The following payments are excluded from commission.
  • Payments made for the Company's testing purposes (payments in the payment provider's test environment)
  • Payments by persons who are not attributed members
  • Payments arising in connection with the prohibited conduct under Article 10
  • Purchases of add-ons such as additional slots — these are additional purchases made after the member has already become a paying member.
  1. The commission on a payment whose net receipts are zero is zero. This applies where the user paid entirely with credits and the Company received no cash. Such a payment is still included in the payment count of the performance figures, and is displayed in the Partner Center as "No commission (credit payment)" together with the reason. The reason it is not silently dropped from the count is that if a partner cannot see the fact of a payment by their attributed member, the performance reads as if it were missing.
  2. The Company may agree, by individual contract, a rate different from Paragraph 2 for a particular partner. An individual rate is never set lower than the base rate in Paragraph 2. In that case, that rate prevails over Paragraph 2 of this Article, and the Partner Center displays only the rate that applies to that partner.

Article 6 (Confirmation and voiding)

  1. A commission does not become payable immediately upon arising; it is confirmed after the holdback period has passed and added to the balance.
  2. The holdback period is 30 days from the date of the attributed member's relevant payment. If no ground for voiding, such as a refund or chargeback, occurs during that period, the commission is confirmed.
  3. Under Article 5, Paragraph 6, commission on an annual payment is divided into 12 instalments, each confirmed separately. The first instalment is confirmed when the holdback period under Paragraph 2 has passed from the relevant payment date, and each subsequent instalment is confirmed sequentially on the same day of each month, subject to the attributed member's subscription remaining in place in that month. Instalments not yet confirmed are not added to the balance, and where the subscription is cancelled or refunded, the remaining instalments become void.
  4. The holdback period for new partners is 60 days. It applies to commissions arising within 90 days from the date of partner approval, and that criterion is also displayed in the Partner Center. For annual payments, the extended holdback under this paragraph applies to each instalment individually.
  5. If a refund or chargeback occurs before confirmation, the commission becomes void and is not added to the balance.
  6. Where a commission has become void, that fact and the reason are displayed in the Partner Center, and it is retroactively excluded from performance totals as well.
  7. Confirmation does not preclude subsequent deduction. Where a refund or chargeback occurs after confirmation, the handling follows Article 9.

Article 7 (Payout requests and payment)

  1. Commissions are not paid out automatically. Confirmed commissions accumulate as balance, and when the partner requests a payout in the Partner Center, the Company reviews the request and then pays.
  2. A partner may request a specified amount within the limits of their balance, and need not request the entire balance. Once the transfer for a requested item is complete, the remaining balance may be requested again.
  3. Requestable amount = confirmed commissions − amounts already requested and paid − deductions under Article 9. Pending commissions that have not been confirmed are not eligible for a request.
  4. A request must be for at least ₩10,000, in units of ₩10,000. However, the unit and minimum restrictions do not apply in the following cases.
  • Where the entire balance is requested — this prevents an odd remainder that does not fit the unit from remaining permanently unpayable.
  • Where a balance confirmed more than 6 months ago falls short of the minimum request amount — in this case the request is processed as a request for the entire balance.
  1. Only one request may be in progress per partner at a time, and a request may be made once per calendar month, Korea time. The once-per-month limit is counted on the basis of requests whose transfer has been completed; cancelled or rejected requests do not count towards the limit.
  2. At the time of a request, the Company calculates the requested amount, the withholding amount and the net payment amount, displays them on a confirmation screen, and records the values the partner confirmed as at that time.
  3. A request cannot be made unless tax information and a deposit account have been registered. The Company provides guidance on registration before the request.
  4. The processing status of a request is displayed in the Partner Center as Requested → In review → Awaiting transfer → Transferred. Cancellation is possible only in the "Requested" state; once the Company has begun its review, the bank transfer process is under way and the request cannot be cancelled. A cancelled amount is returned to the balance immediately.
  5. Where the Company rejects a request, it states the reason, and the rejected amount is returned to the balance.
  6. A balance that has not been requested does not lapse. The Company notifies a partner whose balance has long gone unrequested of that fact.
  7. After receiving a request and immediately before the actual transfer, the Company re-checks the status of the commissions; where the payment amount changes due to a refund or chargeback that occurred in the meantime, the Company notifies the partner together with the reason.
  8. Where there are signals suggesting improper use — such as an abnormal volume of attributed sign-ups over a short period, a refund rate far above average, or the occurrence of chargebacks — the Company may withhold payment and review. In that case, the Company notifies the partner of that fact.
  9. Payment is made by transfer, in Korean won, to a domestic bank account in the partner's own name registered by the partner. The transfer fee is borne by the Company and is not deducted from the payment amount. The net payment amount the partner saw on the confirmation screen is therefore the same as the amount actually deposited.
  10. Waiver of balance. Where a partner intends to effect member withdrawal while a balance remains, the principle is that member withdrawal is processed after the payment procedure in Paragraphs 1 through 13 has been completed (Article 7, Paragraph 1 of the Terms of Service). The partner may instead waive the balance, but a waiver is an exception the partner chooses expressly, and is established only where all of the following are satisfied.
  • The Company does not set waiver as a default or require it as a condition of member withdrawal. The default route the Company guides is payment, and the member withdrawal screen first shows the amount of the unpaid balance and the route for requesting a payout.
  • On the waiver confirmation screen, the Company informs the partner of the amount being waived and of the fact that the declaration cannot be undone, and accepts the waiver only after the partner has confirmed them.
  • A waiver is effective only as to the balance remaining at that time, and does not extend to commissions confirmed afterwards.
  • The Company keeps a record of the date and amount of the waiver and notifies the partner of that fact.

The principle in Paragraph 10 is not altered by this paragraph. No waiver is established by the passage of time, by failure to make a request, by suspension or termination of status, by program withdrawal, by an application for member withdrawal, or by agreeing to these Terms, and the Company does not extinguish an unrequested balance on the basis of this paragraph.

  1. Pending commissions and member withdrawal. What blocks member withdrawal is only the balance under Article 2, Item 7 — that is, the amount that has been confirmed and may be claimed for payment. Pending commissions that have not yet been confirmed do not block member withdrawal — commission on an annual payment is confirmed in instalments over 12 months under Article 6, Paragraph 3, so treating pending amounts as a ground for blocking member withdrawal would block account deletion for more than a year.
  • Instead, on the member withdrawal screen, the Company states the amount of pending commissions, their expected confirmation dates, and the fact that those amounts will not be paid if member withdrawal is effected now, and also presents the option of waiting until they are confirmed before withdrawing. The purpose of this paragraph is to let the partner choose with that information in hand.
  • When member withdrawal is processed, the pending commissions at that time end without being confirmed. However, this does not apply to a balance already confirmed before member withdrawal; under Article 12, Paragraphs 3 and 6, the payment obligation survives member withdrawal.
  • This paragraph is not an exception to Paragraph 10. What Paragraph 10 provides does not lapse is a balance that has been confirmed and has arisen as the partner's claim; what this paragraph deals with is the portion whose holdback period has not passed and which has therefore not yet arisen as a claim. The Company does not extinguish a confirmed balance on the basis of this paragraph, nor does it delay member withdrawal by reason of unconfirmed commissions.
  • Where the partner effects program withdrawal rather than member withdrawal, this paragraph does not apply. Because the account remains, pending commissions are confirmed as provided in Article 6, and the confirmed balance may be requested through the procedure in Paragraphs 1 through 13.

Article 8 (Identity verification documents and tax information)

  1. A partner must submit the following documents at the time of their first payout request. The purpose is to verify that the transfer account holder and the person subject to withholding are the same person.
  • Individuals: a copy of an ID document + a copy of the bankbook
  • Businesses: the business registration certificate + a copy of the bankbook
  1. The documents are submitted only once, the first time, and subsequent requests are processed with the registered information. However, where the deposit account changes, a copy of the bankbook must be resubmitted, and where the tax type changes, the documents corresponding to the new type must be resubmitted.
  2. The copy of the ID document is submitted with the last digits of the resident registration number masked. The purpose of the copy is verification of the legal name and the account holder; the resident registration number needed for withholding is collected through a separate input field.
  3. Submitted documents are kept in private storage and are not made available through any public route; access is limited to settlement staff and access logs are kept.
  4. Once verification is complete, the Company destroys the submitted document copies without delay. The copies themselves are not retained; the fact that verification took place and withholding-related records (withholding tax receipts, payment statements, etc.) are retained separately in accordance with the statutory retention periods under Article 4 of the Privacy Policy.
  5. Where documents are returned because they do not meet the requirements, the Company states the reason specifically.
  6. The tax type is selected when applying to be a partner, and is verified against the documents in Paragraph 1 at the first payout request. A partner must select their tax type — individual (withholding on business income) or business (issuing tax invoices) — at the time of applying to participate in the Program, and the Company verifies that the selection matches the facts against the documents submitted with the first payout request. If the selected type and the documents do not match, the Company returns the request with reasons under Paragraph 6 and asks for correction of the type or supplementation of the documents. If the type changes, the partner must notify the Company without delay and resubmit the documents under Paragraph 2.
  7. Where payment is delayed or a tax disadvantage arises because the information a partner submitted is untrue or the account-holder name does not match, the responsibility lies with the partner.

Article 9 (Deductions and returns due to refunds and chargebacks)

  1. Where an attributed member's payment is refunded or a chargeback occurs, the commission on that payment is handled as follows.
  • Before confirmation, it becomes void and is not added to the balance (Article 6, Paragraph 5). For annual payments, instalments not yet confirmed become void under Article 6, Paragraph 3.
  • After confirmation, it is deducted from the balance of the partner to whom the commission accrued.
  1. Deduction is possible even after confirmation. Commission on an annual payment is confirmed over 12 months and mid-term cancellation refunds can occur during that period, so confirmation does not preclude deduction.
  2. Deductions are made only against the balance of the partner to whom the relevant commission accrued, and do not affect the balance of any other partner.
  3. Where the balance falls short of the deduction amount, the balance is recorded as negative and is set off sequentially against commissions arising afterwards.
  4. Even where an amount has already been paid out, if a refund or chargeback occurs on the payment on which it was based, the partner is obliged to return that amount to the Company. The Company may set off this return claim against commissions and balance arising afterwards.
  5. The Company does not operate a separate collection procedure for returns under Paragraph 5, and amounts not recovered by set-off are borne by the Company. However, this does not apply to amounts arising from the prohibited conduct under Article 10.
  6. The details of and reasons for deductions and set-offs are displayed in the Partner Center.

Article 10 (Prohibited conduct)

A partner must not engage in any of the following.

  1. Self-referral — causing the sign-up or payment of the partner themselves, of an account the partner controls, or of a person using the same phone number, device or access address as the partner, to be counted as the partner's own attributed sign-up
  2. Multiple accounts — creating two or more partner accounts, or participating under another person's name
  3. Brand keyword search advertising — purchasing "UUP", "유유피", "uup.kr" or expressions liable to be confused with them as search advertising keywords, or running advertising that misleads people into taking it for the Company's official channel
  4. Spam — distributing partner links in ways that violate applicable law or the policies of the platform concerned, such as sending email, text or messenger messages without consent to receive them, or mass repetitive posting
  5. False or exaggerated representations — displaying or advertising content about the Service's features, fees or effects that is untrue or exaggerated, or promising earnings the Company has not guaranteed
  6. Impersonating the Company — presenting oneself as the Company's officers or employees, official channel or official customer center, or using the Company's trademarks or logos beyond the scope the Company has set
  7. Posting on coupon or cashback sites — posting partner links on sites or communities featuring discount coupon collections or cashback/point rebates
  8. Generating clicks or sign-ups with automated tools or bots, or manipulating performance metrics
  9. Posting partner links together with content whose advertising is prohibited by applicable law, such as illegal goods or services, adult material or gambling
  10. Any other conduct in breach of these Terms, the Terms of Service or applicable law

Where a violation is confirmed or reasonably suspected, the Company may void the relevant attributed sign-ups and commissions, withhold payment, and suspend or terminate partner status.

Article 11 (Disclosure of material connection)

  1. When introducing or recommending the Service, a partner must display the fact that they receive consideration from the Company in a way consumers can easily recognize. This is the partner's own obligation under applicable rules such as the Guidelines on the Review of Labeling and Advertising concerning Recommendations and Guarantees (추천·보증 등에 관한 표시·광고 심사지침).
  2. The Company provides, in the Partner Center, disclosure wording that partners can copy and use. A partner must use that wording or wording conveying the same content. Whatever wording is used, the fact that the partner receives consideration from the Company and the fact that the consideration is provided under this Program must be apparent to consumers; wording so small or faint that it cannot be distinguished from the body text, or wording placed where it becomes visible only after expanding "more" or the comments, is not treated as performance of this Article.
  3. The disclosure must be displayed on every post or screen where a partner link is exposed, in a position consumers can recognize before clicking the link, and in the same language. A single display in a profile or in one notice does not discharge the obligation for every surface on which the link is exposed.
  4. The party responsible for performing the display obligation is the partner; the wording and guidance the Company provides are auxiliary means to assist compliance. The Company is not responsible for a partner's breach of the display obligation, and where a breach is confirmed it may take measures under Article 10.

Article 12 (Suspension and termination of partner status)

  1. Where grounds under Article 3, Paragraph 5 or Article 10 exist, the Company may suspend or terminate partner status, and states the reason.
  2. While status is suspended, no commission arises on new attributed sign-ups, and the Company may withhold payouts during the suspension period.
  3. Notwithstanding suspension or termination of status, program withdrawal or member withdrawal, the Company's obligation to pay the unpaid balance that accrued and was confirmed up to that point does not lapse. The partner may claim that payment in accordance with the procedures set out in these Terms, and the procedure for claiming where the Partner Center cannot be used follows Paragraph 6.
  4. Notwithstanding Paragraph 3, where status was terminated by reason of the prohibited conduct under Article 10, commissions arising in connection with the violation are void regardless of whether they were confirmed, and amounts already paid become subject to return.
  5. Suspension or termination of status does not affect the partner's return obligation under Article 9.
  6. Claims where the Partner Center cannot be used. Where partner status has been suspended or terminated, or the Partner Center cannot be accessed due to program withdrawal or member withdrawal, the partner may claim payment of the unpaid balance via `help@uup.kr` (the same route as Article 7, Paragraph 4 of the Terms of Service).
  • Where the Service account remains (suspension or termination of status, or program withdrawal), the partner claims by logging in with that account, and the Company treats account verification as identity verification.
  • Where there is no account because of member withdrawal, the only items the Company retains for payment are the legal name, account information (including the account holder name) and the information necessary for withholding. In this case, the Company asks the claimant for a copy of an ID document in their own name and a document by which the account can be verified (such as a copy of the bankbook), and verifies identity by comparing them against the retained legal name, account holder name and account. The Company processes these solely for verification purposes, destroys them without delay once verification is complete, and replies to the contact address the claimant used for the claim.
  • The mere fact that identity cannot be verified does not extinguish the balance. In that case, the Company withholds payment and informs the claimant of the reason and of what needs to be supplemented.
  • The payment method, minimum request amount, withholding and deductions are governed by the other provisions of these Terms as they stand.
  • Even after member withdrawal, the Company retains the legal name, account information and the information necessary for withholding, separately, until payment is complete (Article 9 of the Terms of Service; Article 8 of the Privacy Policy). Other information (such as the email address or phone number of the social login account) is destroyed upon withdrawal and is therefore not available as a basis of comparison for identity verification.

Article 13 (Processing of personal information)

  1. The Company collects and uses partners' personal information for the operation of the Program; the items, purposes, retention periods, outsourcing and overseas transfer follow the Privacy Policy (https://uup.kr/privacy).
  2. For withholding and payment, the Company collects the legal name, resident registration number (or business registration number), deposit account, and copies of identity verification documents. This information is stored encrypted and displayed masked on screen; full access is limited to settlement staff and access logs are kept.
  3. The Company does not provide the identity of attributed members to partners. The Partner Center does not display information capable of identifying an attributed member, such as name, email or phone number, and payment-related times are displayed only at day-level granularity.
  4. The name, purpose and retention period of the attribution cookie set when a partner link is accessed are specified in the Privacy Policy.
  5. A partner must not provide to a third party, or use for any other purpose, non-public information of the Company learned in the course of performing the Program.

Article 14 (Amendment of these Terms and program conditions)

  1. The Company may change these Terms and the operating conditions of the Program to the extent that doing so does not violate applicable law.
  2. When these Terms are amended, the Company gives notice — specifying the effective date and the reason for the change — at least 7 days before the effective date, through the Partner Center or to the contact details the partner has registered, and retains the versions before and after the amendment.
  3. For changes disadvantageous to partners (a reduction of the commission rate, a shortening of the recognition period for attributed sign-ups under Article 4, a reduction of the commission-bearing period, a tightening of payment conditions, etc.), notice is given at least 30 days before the effective date. A partner who does not agree to the change may effect program withdrawal before the effective date; even in that case, the obligation to pay the balance accrued up to that point is maintained under Article 12, Paragraph 3.
  4. Changed conditions apply to attributed sign-ups and payments arising on or after the effective date, and do not apply retroactively.
  5. The Company may terminate the Program itself. In that case, it follows the procedure in Paragraph 3, and unpaid balances accrued up to the point of termination are paid in accordance with the procedures set out in these Terms.

Article 15 (Performance verification and objections)

  1. A partner can check their click, sign-up, payment and commission performance and their balance in the Partner Center.
  2. The definition of each metric is displayed in the Partner Center, and the Company and the partner take the records of the Company's systems, calculated according to those definitions, as the basis of performance.
  3. A partner who disputes performance, commissions, deductions or payment amounts may raise an objection with the Company, and the Company, after verification, informs the partner of the result together with the reasons. A partner may request the basis of calculation of their own performance and commissions, and the Company provides the itemized details used in the calculation and the calculation process, to the extent that the identity of attributed members is not revealed (Article 13, Paragraph 3). The Company does not judge by its own records alone; it also examines materials the partner presents (sending and posting history, etc.).
  4. An objection must be raised within 90 days from the date the relevant details were displayed in the Partner Center.
  5. Where a clear calculation error or system error is confirmed, the Company corrects it regardless of the period in Paragraph 4.

Article 16 (Taxes and public charges)

  1. Commissions are the partner's income, and the taxes and public charges on them are handled in accordance with applicable law.
  2. Where the partner is an individual, the Company performs withholding on business income in accordance with applicable law and pays the remainder after deducting that amount.
  3. Where the partner is a business, the Company receives a tax invoice from the partner and pays accordingly.
  4. Withholding is not a reduction of the commission. The withheld amount is tax the partner is liable for, which the Company reports and pays on the partner's behalf, and the partner may have it settled when filing their comprehensive income tax return. The Company displays the gross commission amount and the withheld amount separately in the Partner Center.
  5. Where the withholding tax amount falls below the threshold set by applicable law, withholding may be omitted in accordance with applicable law.
  6. The Company displays the applicable tax rate and the withholding amount on the payout request confirmation screen, as at that time. Tax rates and the withholding method follow what applicable law provides, and change as the law changes.
  7. The Company files payment statements in accordance with applicable law, and the partner is obliged to provide accurate tax information.

Article 17 (Relationship)

  1. The partner and the Company are independent parties under these Terms, and no employment, agency, partnership or joint-venture relationship is created by these Terms.
  2. A partner may not conclude contracts on the Company's behalf or make any declaration of intent that binds the Company.
  3. A partner may use the Company's trademarks, logos and Service screens only within the scope the Company has set.

Article 18 (Limitation of liability)

  1. The Company is not liable where it cannot provide the Program due to causes beyond its control, such as force majeure or failures of third-party services including the payment provider, telecommunications carriers and platforms.
  2. The Company does not guarantee that a partner will obtain any particular level of earnings through the Program.
  3. The Company is not liable for disputes with third parties caused by a partner's breach of Article 10 or Article 11, or for damages arising from them; where the Company suffers damage as a result, it may claim compensation from the partner.
  4. This Article does not exempt the Company from liability for its wilful misconduct or gross negligence under applicable law.

Article 19 (Dispute resolution and governing law)

  1. Where a dispute arises in connection with the Program, the Company and the partner shall first endeavour to resolve it through consultation.
  2. These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Korea.

Supplementary provisions

These Terms (v1.0) take effect on 2026-08-28. They apply to partners approved on or after the effective date.

Amendment v1.1 (changing the base commission rate in Article 5, Paragraph 2 from 50% to 20%) was announced on 2026-08-26 and takes effect on 2026-08-28, the same day as v1.0. As the amendment was announced before the effective date, the amended rate applies to partners approved on or after the effective date; the rate applying to any partner already approved before the amendment was announced (including individual contracts) is not changed by this amendment. For clarity, the previous base rate of 50% was a limited-time promotional rate operated during the program's initial launch period.

Amendment v1.2 (extending the commission period in Article 5, Paragraph 5 from the attributed member's first 12 months of payments to no time limit) was announced on 2026-08-26 and takes effect on 2026-08-28, the same day as v1.0. It is a change favourable to partners and applies to payments arising on or after the effective date.

These Terms take effect on the same day as v1.4 of the Terms of Service, because the two documents form a pair — Article 12, Paragraph 3 of these Terms provides that the obligation to pay a confirmed unpaid balance survives suspension or termination of status and member withdrawal, and what makes that obligation actually performable (the precondition to member withdrawal, the route for claiming after withdrawal, and the basis for retaining the information needed for payment) is Articles 7 and 9 of the Terms of Service. If only one of the two took effect first, a window would open in which an account disappears while a balance remains, and the claim route and the basis of comparison for identity verification disappear with it.
