Article 7 Rights in and Use of Member Content

① Copyright in Member Content remains with the Member or other lawful rights holder.

② Members grant the Company a non-exclusive license to store, reproduce, transmit, display, make available, search, classify, tag, reformat, create thumbnails of, translate, summarize, recommend, and analyze Member Content to the extent necessary to operate the Service and provide its features.

③ The Company may use AI technologies to analyze Member Content for search, recommendations, personalization, content linking, prevention of misuse, improvement of service quality, and creation of de-identified or aggregated statistics.

④ The Company will obtain separate consent from a Member before using that Member's Content in advertising or promotional materials outside the Service. The Company will also provide any required notice and obtain consent before using Member Content to train general-purpose AI models beyond the purpose of providing the Service.

⑤ If a Member deletes content or closes an account, the Company will discontinue use of the content within the Service. Reasonably necessary exceptions may apply for legal retention obligations, dispute resolution, security backups, or de-identified or aggregated information already created.

⑥ Members must have all rights necessary for content they post or submit and must ensure that such content does not violate applicable law or any third party's rights.

⑦ Rights in the design, software, data structure, content created directly by the Company, and WAME trademarks belong to the Company or the applicable lawful rights holder.

Article 8 Third-Party Platform and Store Content and Transactions

① To support game discovery and provide information, the Company may present Third-Party Content made public by developers, publishers, store operators, and others, including game and app descriptions, icons, logos, screenshots, videos, release information, and user reviews, by identifying the source, linking, embedding, or displaying it within the Service.

② Copyrights, trademarks, and other rights in Third-Party Content belong to the relevant developer, publisher, original creator, or other lawful rights holder. The Company uses such materials with the rights holder's permission, in a manner permitted by the relevant third-party platform, or to the extent permitted by applicable law.

③ The fact that Third-Party Content is posted on a publicly accessible platform does not mean that it is free to use. Where reasonably practicable, the Company identifies the source, provides a link to the original material, or states when the information was last checked.

④ Unless expressly stated otherwise, there is no affiliation, sponsorship, official certification, endorsement, or guarantee between the Company and the relevant developer, publisher, store, or third-party platform.

⑤ A rights holder or interested party may request source correction, information correction, suspension of display, or removal through the one-to-one inquiry feature or another intellectual property reporting channel designated by the Company. The Company will verify the basis for the request and take appropriate action.

⑥ Links to third-party stores are provided for informational purposes. The Company is not the seller or payment processor for the relevant app, game, or in-app product. The Company does not hold order details or payment methods for third-party transactions and has no authority to look up or cancel orders or approve refunds.

⑦ Purchases, pre-orders, subscriptions, in-app purchases, statutory withdrawal rights, cancellations, refunds, and technical support for third-party store transactions are handled in accordance with applicable law and the policies of the actual seller, payment provider, and store.

⑧ Paragraphs ⑥ and ⑦ do not apply to paid services, advertising, campaigns, research, or partner services sold directly by the Company or provided under a separate agreement. Separate order forms, agreements, or refund policies apply to those transactions.

Article 9 Game Information, Recommendations, Rankings, and AI Summaries

① The Company endeavors to keep game information, release schedules, supported platforms, regions, prices, store links, and related content accurate and up to date.

② Third-party information may change due to the policies or operations of a developer, publisher, store, or platform, and such changes may not be reflected immediately in the Service.

③ Before purchasing, installing, pre-ordering, or playing a game, Users should verify the latest price, release date, supported devices, available regions, languages, age rating, and system requirements through the relevant store and game company.

④ Recommendations, suitability scores, similar-game results, rankings, and curation are provided as reference information to support discovery and do not guarantee satisfaction, quality, purchase value, commercial success, or gameplay performance for any particular game.

⑤ Recommendations and rankings may take into account game information, release dates, views, clicks, saves, reviews, content relationships, User settings, and operating criteria. The Company may withhold detailed formulas or all weighting information to prevent manipulation and protect its systems.

⑥ Third-party review summaries are reference information created by analyzing public reviews using AI or statistical methods. Errors or bias may arise from translation, classification, sampling, collection timing, or the analysis process, and the summaries do not represent the views of all users, the position of a developer, or WAME's own evaluation.

⑦ If advertising fees, sponsorship, or other economic consideration affects placement or recommendation candidates, the Company will identify the relevant content as an advertisement, sponsorship, “Sponsored,” or by a similar designation that Users can recognize.

Article 10 Reviews and Content Moderation

① Members may submit ratings, reviews, play status, play time, comments, and other opinions about games.

② To maintain the quality and reliability of reviews and content, the Company may use recommendation, negative feedback, reports, edits, removals, and activity history.

③ The Company may hide, remove, exclude from search or recommendations, or otherwise restrict the visibility of the following content:

  • False, manipulated, promotional, or spam content;
  • Content unrelated to the relevant game or topic;
  • Abusive, defamatory, hateful, discriminatory, threatening, obscene, or otherwise harmful content;
  • Content containing material spoilers without appropriate warning;
  • Content that infringes another person's rights or personal information; or
  • Content that violates applicable law, these Terms, or the Operating Policies.

④ Depending on the severity of a violation, the Company may restrict content or features, issue a warning, temporarily suspend an account, or terminate the service agreement.

⑤ In the event of an urgent rights violation, illegal content, security threat, or risk of spreading harm, the Company may take temporary action without prior notice and subsequently provide notice of the action and the available appeal method.

⑥ A Member who believes that an action taken against their content or account is improper may appeal through the procedure designated by the Company.

⑦ The Company reviews reports but is not required to accept every report or correction request.

Article 11 Personalization, Newsletters, and Advertising

① Subject to a User's consent and settings, the Company may provide personalized game and content recommendations using preferences entered by the User, Service usage records, and permitted third-party platform information.

② Users may disable personalization or delete personalization data through settings in the Service. Basic features, including game search and information viewing, remain available when personalization is disabled.

③ Subject to a Member's consent or settings, the Company may provide game recommendations, release information, events, content, and promotional information by email, newsletter, or in-Service notification.

④ Members may opt out of newsletters or promotional information at any time. Essential notices concerning accounts, security, amendments to terms, service outages, use restrictions, or transactions may still be sent regardless of marketing preferences.

⑤ The Service may contain advertisements, sponsorships, banners, promotions, or campaign content. The Company identifies content provided in exchange for economic consideration so that Users can recognize it.

⑥ Further information about personal information processing, cookies, personalization, third-party analytics tools, and advertising measurement is provided in the Privacy Policy and the privacy and cookie settings within the Service.

Article 12 Events, Campaigns, Game Keys, and Points

① The Company may operate events or campaigns alone or together with developers, publishers, advertisers, or partners.

② Events and campaigns may be subject to separate conditions regarding eligibility, application periods, selection methods, tasks, submitted materials, rewards, payment schedules, cancellation, appeals, and personal information processing. Users must review those conditions before participating.

③ The Company may select participants by a method disclosed in advance, including a drawing, review, eligibility verification, or first-come, first-served selection.

④ Game keys, test keys, access rights, or coupons provided through a campaign may be subject to platform, account, device, region, language, use-period, or activation-count restrictions.

⑤ Unless separately permitted, Members may not transfer, sell, resell, publicly disclose, or misuse any game key, access right, invitation link, or coupon provided to them.

⑥ If a game key or access right cannot be activated, the Company may review the issuance record and the provider's policies and, within a reasonable scope, assist with reissuance, replacement, or problem resolution. Issues caused by third-party platform policies, regional restrictions, account status, or the Member's fault may be excluded from reissuance.

⑦ The Company may grant or deduct Points based on Member activity or event participation. Accrual, use, validity periods, expiration, and recovery of Points are governed by the notice provided when the Points are granted or by the Operating Policies.

⑧ Unless the Company expressly permits otherwise, Points are not cash or cash equivalents and cannot be refunded for cash, purchased for consideration, transferred to a third party, or sold.

⑨ If fraudulent or duplicate participation, false materials, automated participation, key resale, or failure to satisfy conditions is confirmed, the Company may cancel selection, revoke a key, withhold a reward, recover Points, or restrict an account.

⑩ A reward that has already been validly confirmed will not be retroactively forfeited without a reason attributable to the Member or an objective cancellation ground disclosed in advance.

⑤ In the event of an urgent rights violation, illegal conduct, fraudulent participation, security threat, or risk of spreading harm, the Company may act first and notify the Member afterward.

Article 14 Liability and Limitations of the Service

④ The Company is not a party to disputes between a Member and another Member, developer, publisher, creator, advertiser, or third-party seller. This does not apply to matters arising from a contract entered into directly by the Company or from a cause attributable to the Company.

⑤ Nothing in this Article limits liability for the Company's willful misconduct or gross negligence or any User right that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

Article 15 Protection of Personal Information

② The Privacy Policy posted on the Service describes the categories of personal information collected, purposes of use, retention periods, third-party disclosures, processing by service providers, international processing, cookies, personalization, User rights, and contact methods.

③ Where separate consent is required for the processing of personal information, the Company will provide the required information and obtain consent before beginning that processing.

Article 16 Creators, Game Companies, Partners, and Paid Services

① Separate terms, Operating Policies, order forms, or agreements may apply when a creator, game company, advertiser, partner, or institution uses separate features.

② The scope and fees for advertising, campaign operation, game-key distribution, content production, research, playtesting, participant recruitment, video and audio analysis, insight services, data reports, and other paid services are determined in separate agreements.

③ The applicable order form or agreement governs fees, payment conditions, taxes, cancellations, refunds, deliverables, usage rights, confidentiality, personal information processing, intellectual property rights, and allocation of liability for a paid service.

④ The relevant parties are responsible for formation, performance, payment, taxes, and disputes under contracts entered into directly between third parties, including creators and game companies. If the Company is a party to a transaction or is responsible for payment, the Company will separately disclose that fact and the scope of its responsibility before the contract is entered into.
