Article 3 (Effect and Modification of Terms)

1. These Terms become effective when posted on the Service screen or otherwise communicated to users.
2. The Company may modify these Terms within the scope permitted by relevant laws when necessary.
3. Modified Terms become effective seven (7) days after notice is given.

• Campaign information service
• Recruitment information service
• Email and push notifications for hiring, career, event, project, and promotional information, where the user has opted in
• Application, RSVP, submission management, sharing, export, and Google Sheets synchronization tools for Event and Project operators
• Paid RSVP support, including online payment through payment service providers and manual bank transfer confirmation
• Other services determined by the Company

Article 5 (Membership Registration)

1. Any person wishing to use the Service shall apply for membership by entering member information in accordance with the registration form designated by the Company and agreeing to these Terms.
2. Consent to send Resume Builder information to an AI provider is optional and separate from the required sign-up agreement. Declining it does not prevent membership registration or general Service use.
3. The Company may refuse approval if an applicant falls under any of the following:
   • Use of another person's information
   • Provision of false information
   • Other cases where membership registration is determined to be significantly detrimental to Service operation

Article 6 (Member Obligations)

• Members shall safely manage their account information.
• Members shall comply with relevant laws and these Terms when using the Service.
• Members shall not engage in any conduct that infringes upon others' rights or interferes with Service operation.

Article 7 (Service Restrictions)

The Company may, after prior notice, restrict Service use or revoke membership if a Member violates these Terms or interferes with the normal operation of the Service.

Article 8 (Disclaimer)

1. The Company is exempt from liability when the Service cannot be provided due to natural disasters, war, or other force majeure events.
2. The Company is not responsible for Service interruptions caused by reasons attributable to the user.
3. The Company is not responsible for damages arising from information that users obtain through the Service.

Article 9 (Payments, Notifications, and External Integrations)

1. Some Events or Projects may require payment. When online payment is selected, the RSVP is confirmed only after the payment service provider confirms successful payment. When bank transfer is selected, the operator or administrator may review and update payment status manually.
2. Online payment may require the user to log in. Payment processing may be provided by third-party payment service providers such as Toss Payments, and additional payment terms or policies of the relevant provider may apply.
3. Job Alerts expressly created by a user and essential service notices may appear inside KATCHUP. Delivery outside KATCHUP by app/web push depends on the user's account preference, the permission granted on each device or browser, and an active delivery endpoint.
4. Global hiring information and marketing or promotional messages are separate optional categories. Users may consent to or withdraw each category through Notification Settings without losing access to the Service.
5. Users may sign up or log in through Google Sign-In. Event and Project operators may also connect a Google account to use Google Sheets Sync. The user is responsible for managing access to their Google account and connected Google files, and may disconnect the integration at any time where the Service provides such functionality.

Article 10 (Dispute Resolution)

Disputes regarding these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, and the Seoul Central District Court shall have jurisdiction in the event of a dispute.

Article 11 (Optional Resume AI)

1. Resume AI generation and revision use OpenAI only after a separate notice and optional consent. The Privacy Policy explains the information sent for initial generation, workspace chat, selected-text editing, and missing-information review.
2. Users can withdraw consent in MY → Settings → Account settings. Withdrawal stops new AI transfers; it cannot recall requests already transmitted. Uploading, manually editing, and downloading a saved resume remain available without AI consent.
3. AI output is a draft or proposal. Users should review its accuracy before applying a revision or using the resume. AI generation does not guarantee hiring outcomes.

Article 12 (Account Deletion)

Users can start account deletion from Account settings in the app or on the web and confirm it after an identity check. Completed deletion ends account access and removes private account data as described in the Privacy Policy. Required transaction records and minimal information needed to complete outstanding payment, refund, or reward settlements may be retained separately. Shared club, event, or course records may remain with the deleted account detached. Deletion does not forfeit a reward balance or end existing settlement/refund obligations. Account deletion does not itself cancel a paid application or issue a refund; applicable payment and refund procedures still apply.
