7. Payments, Virtual Items and Refunds

7.1 In-App Purchases

Certain features and content within the Services may be purchased for real money ("In-App Purchases"). All In-App Purchases are processed by the applicable App Store Operator (Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or other authorized platforms). The Company does not directly collect or store your payment method information; all payment processing is handled by the App Store Operator pursuant to their terms of service and privacy policies.

Prices for In-App Purchases are displayed in the relevant App Store and may vary by region due to local taxes, currency exchange rates, or App Store Operator pricing policies. All prices include applicable VAT or other consumption taxes where required by law.

7.2 Virtual Currency (In-Game Points)

The Company may issue Virtual Currency (In-Game Points) to users at no charge as part of gameplay rewards, promotions, or compensatory measures. Virtual Currency:

  • Has no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for real money, credit, or any item of real-world value
  • Cannot be transferred between users or Accounts
  • Is owned by the Company and merely licensed to you for use within the Services
  • May expire or be forfeited upon Account termination, Service discontinuation, or as otherwise set forth by the Company
  • Is not subject to refund under any circumstances

7.3 Refund Policy — Platform Processing (Primary)

All refund requests for In-App Purchases must first be submitted directly to the applicable App Store Operator, as the Company does not process payments directly:

  • Apple App Store: Submit refund requests via reportaproblem.apple.com or through Settings > [your name] > Media & Purchases > Request a Refund.
  • Google Play Store: Submit refund requests via the Google Play Help Center within the applicable refund window.

The App Store Operator's refund policies govern all such requests. The Company will cooperate with and implement refund determinations made by the App Store Operator.

7.4 Statutory Withdrawal Rights

Korean Users (Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce): You have the right to withdraw from a purchase within seven (7) days of the date of purchase, provided that (a) the content has not been used or partially consumed; (b) the content has not been opened where the product was sealed; and (c) the purchase is not for content that has been made available for immediate download or streaming where you have expressly consented to commencement of delivery and acknowledged loss of the withdrawal right at the time of purchase. Where a product is returned due to a change of mind (non-defective return), a cancellation fee of ten percent (10%) of the purchase price may be deducted from the refund amount, in accordance with applicable regulations.

EU/EEA Users (Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU): If you are a consumer resident in the European Union or European Economic Area, you have the right to withdraw from a purchase within fourteen (14) days of the date of purchase without giving any reason, subject to the following exceptions: (a) digital content that has already begun to be performed (downloaded, streamed, or otherwise delivered) with your prior express consent and your acknowledgment that you lose your right of withdrawal upon commencement of performance; and (b) any other exceptions applicable under Article 16 of the Consumer Rights Directive. To exercise your right of withdrawal, please contact us at ngustudio2020@gmail.com with a clear statement of your decision to withdraw.

Immediately Consumed Content: Notwithstanding the above, no refund will be provided for In-App Purchases where the purchased content has been fully consumed, used, or applied within the Services immediately upon purchase (for example, items that have been applied to your account, used in gameplay, or otherwise irrevocably delivered). This limitation applies to all users regardless of jurisdiction, subject to mandatory consumer protection laws that cannot be waived by contract.

Refunds where the calculated refund amount is less than KRW 1,000 may be waived in accordance with applicable regulations on de minimis amounts.

7.5 Minor User Purchases

Where an In-App Purchase has been made by a minor (a person under the age of 19 under Korean law, or under the applicable age of majority in the user's jurisdiction) without the consent of a parent or legal guardian, the purchase may be cancelled and refunded upon request. To request cancellation of a minor user's purchase, the parent or legal guardian must contact the Company at ngustudio2020@gmail.com and provide documentation sufficient to verify the minor's age and the absence of parental consent. The Company will process such requests in accordance with applicable consumer protection laws.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right to cancel a minor's In-App Purchase may be limited where: (a) the purchase falls within the scope of property that the minor's legal guardian has expressly permitted the minor to dispose of (Article 5 of the Korean Civil Act); or (b) the minor used deceptive means to misrepresent themselves as an adult or to falsely claim parental consent. The Company reserves the right to verify the minor's age and the circumstances of the purchase, and may require submission of supporting documentation.

7.6 Consent Withdrawal for Data Processing

If In-App Purchases involve the processing of personal data on the basis of your consent, you may withdraw consent for data processing at any time through the in-game [Privacy Settings — Terms of Service, Privacy Policy] menu, or by contacting us at ngustudio2020@gmail.com. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal, and does not automatically entitle you to a refund of any completed purchase.

8. Termination and Account Suspension

8.1 Termination by You

You may terminate these Terms and your Account at any time by requesting account deletion as described in Section 4.4. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of any In-App Purchases, and all Virtual Currency and virtual items associated with your Account will be permanently forfeited upon deletion.

8.2 Suspension and Termination by the Company

The Company may, at its sole discretion and without prior notice where the circumstances require prompt action, suspend or permanently terminate your Account and access to the Services if you:

  • Provide false or misleading registration information
  • Fail to pay any amounts owed to the Company (including chargebacks or reversed payments)
  • Engage in conduct that the Company reasonably believes is harmful to other users, third parties, or the integrity of the Services

Where practicable, the Company will provide you with advance notice and an opportunity to remedy the violation before imposing suspension or termination. However, the Company may impose immediate suspension without prior notice in cases of serious or repeated violations, fraud, or legal obligation.

The user may file an appeal against the sanction by contacting the Company at ngustudio2020@gmail.com within fifteen (15) days from the date of the notification. The Company will review the appeal and respond to the user within a reasonable period. This appeal procedure does not derogate from any rights the user may have under applicable mandatory consumer protection laws.

8.5 Effect of Termination

Upon termination of your Account for any reason: (a) all licenses and rights granted to you under these Terms will immediately terminate; (b) you must cease all use of the Services; and (c) the Company may delete your Account data in accordance with our Privacy Policy Section 7.
