IT PROVIDES IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS REGARDING THE USE OF “SEAL: WHAT THE FUN” (which includes, without limitation, software, files, documentation, updates, audiovisual content, and derivative works, hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Game”) AND RELATED SERVICES (which include forum or website services and other related services, hereinafter collectively along with the Game, referred to as the “Service”).
BY INSTALLING, COPYING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE GAME, OR BY ACCESSING AND USING THE SERVICE, YOU (hereinafter referred to as “you” or the “User”) AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS EULA AND THE PRIVACY POLICY AS SET FORTH BY PLAYWITH KOREA Inc., WITH ITS PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS LOCATED AT 5F, 6F, 25F, 60, MABANG-RO, SEOCHO-GU, SEOUL, REPUBLIC OF KOREA, AND/OR ITS PARTNERS (collectively referred to as "PLAYWITH", “PW”, “we”, “us”, or the “Company”).
If you are under the age of majority or require the consent of a parent or legal guardian to enter into agreements such as this EULA due to the laws of your jurisdiction, you must have the permission of your parent or legal guardian to agree to this Agreement and use the Service. By accepting this Agreement and/or using the Service, it is understood that both you and your parent or legal guardian have consented to this Agreement.
We reserve the right to amend this EULA. Should there be any changes, we will post the updated EULA on the Service, our Website, or through the platforms or stores that provide the Services (hereinafter referred to as "Platform", e.g., Steam, Xbox, etc.) or in accordance with other applicable laws, without separate notice to you. If you continue to access or use our Services after the effective date of the updated Agreement, it will be deemed that you have accepted the revised Agreement.
If you do not consent to, or if you withdraw your consent to be bound by this EULA, we may be unable to provide you with all or part of the Services.
The Game may be available through a third-party Platform. Your use of the Game is also subject to any applicable agreements you have with such Platform. In the event of a conflict between any Platform Agreement and this EULA regarding your use of our Game, this EULA shall take precedence unless expressly stated otherwise herein.
You will be required to (1) download software, (2) create and use an account (hereinafter “Account”), and (3) comply with this EULA to access and use Services provided by us.
- Software downloads
This EULA will be binding on you and us once you download, install, or use the Software, whichever occurs first. If you do not agree to it, you are not permitted to download, install the Game, or use the Services. We may deploy or provide patches, updates, and modifications to the Game that must be installed for you to continue to play the Game. We may update the Game remotely, and you hereby grant us consent to deploy, download, install, and apply such patches, updates, and modifications to your copy of the Game.
- Create and use an Account
If the terms of this EULA for the Account and the policy for the Platform conflict, the policy for the Platform takes precedence. The individual, that is, the person who has reached the legal age of majority in your country of residence, or who is legally incompetent, or a minor (under the age of majority as prescribed by the laws in the relevant jurisdiction) allowed under the supervision of a legal representative, can create an Account. You may not share your Account with others or allow anyone other than you (or legally incompetents or minors if a legal representative has registered an Account on their behalf) to access or use your Account. It is forbidden for multiple users to jointly use or share an Account. You may not use an Account created for commercial use. Accessing and using Services is allowed for your personal use only and may not be used for commercial activities or payments. You may not create and use Accounts, accessing and using Services on behalf of any legal entity or business entity. Accessing and using Services for any commercial purpose or benefit is prohibited. You are not allowed to transfer your Account to a third party. All responsibility for the transfer and attempting to transfer the right to a person who is not the Account holder rests with the parties to the transaction, not with the Company. The Company shall not be legally responsible for any acts, claims, credits, non-performance, omission, or liability between the parties to the transaction (including those who wish to transfer the right to use the Account) and may take appropriate actions by the Company's policy if such inappropriate activities are detected. Our Game may be accessible through a Platform; you may need to have a Platform Account to access and play the Game. You acknowledge and agree that your creation and use of that Platform Account are subject to the Platform’s applicable terms and conditions and privacy policies. We will not be responsible for your inability to access, use, or enjoy the Game due to reasons of your Platform Account or otherwise related to the Platform. We are not responsible for any payment or refund disputes you have with a Platform. We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your Account if we believe, or have been notified by a third-party of its belief, that you may be infringing the rights of others or engaging in any inappropriate behavior. In the event of termination, your Account will be disabled, and you will not have access to your Account or the content in your Account.

We reserve the right to change all or part of our Services without any liability to you, at any time without any prior notice to you. Without limiting the generality of our rights reserved in the foregoing, we may modify our Services: for technical reasons (such as technical difficulties experienced by us or on the Internet); to allow us to improve user experience; where we have legal reasons for doing so (including privacy or other legal objections to the content or conduct of our Services); because it no longer makes business sense for us to provide the relevant Services; or because we have altered Services we provide. There may also be times when our Services or any part thereof are not available for technical or maintenance-related reasons, whether on a scheduled or unscheduled basis. You agree that we have no responsibility and are not liable for the unavailability of the Services or any part thereof, any loss of materials, data, transactions, or any other information or materials caused by such system outages, or any other losses whatsoever resulting from such system outage. The specific game rules, scoring rules, controls, and guidelines for each Service can be found within the Service itself. Such rules, scoring rules, controls, and guidelines form part of the Agreement, and you agree that you shall comply with them in respect of each individual Service which you choose to access and/or play.

We grant you a limited license right; a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable limited license to access and use our Services for your own personal and non-commercial use, subject to your agreement and complete compliance with this EULA. The Game is protected by the copyright laws of the Republic of Korea, international copyright treaties and conventions, Korean and common law trademark laws, and other laws. All rights are reserved worldwide. The Game contains certain materials licensed by the Company from others, and the Company and the Company's licensors may protect their rights in the event of any violation of this EULA.

We faithfully comply with the exercise of rights and obligations prescribed by laws and this EULA.
- Intellectual Property Rights
If you provide content such as communications, images, sounds, and all materials and information, including conversation text displayed in the game or uploaded or transmitted by a member or other user through a game service to our services, you grant us the following rights: a non-exclusive, sublicensable, assignable, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable right to use, reproduce, distribute, edit, adapt, modify, host, store, publish, create derivative works of, publicly perform, display, market, advertise, and sell your content and any derivative works we may create from it, in any and all media (whether it exists now or in the future), for any purpose, in perpetuity, without any payment to you. However, we do not sell, lend, or transfer your content without your prior consent. All copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights related to the Service provided and produced by us are owned or licensed to us. We prohibit you from copying, transmitting, processing such as editing, publication, performance, distribution, broadcasting, creating derivative work from any content or information which we have intellectual property rights to when you get during using our services without our prior consent. In particular, you must not make available any cheats or technological measures designed to control access to, or elements of, our Services. If you terminate the service use agreement under this Agreement, you shall immediately delete or return all contents provided by us, such as the game client. We do not use your content that is not visible in the game and is not integrated with our Service (e.g., posts on the general bulletin board, etc.) without your consent, and you may delete your content at any time. If you find any infringement of our IP, please contact us by the email address in the "Contact" section.
Our aim is to make the Service available to all natural persons. However, your ability to access and use the Service is governed by the laws and regulations of your place of residence, which might set age restrictions (for example, through rating systems). Consequently, individuals who are older than the specified age but still considered minors (under the age of majority as determined by the laws relevant to you) are permitted to access and use the Service only with the consent of their parents or legal guardians. By accessing or using the Service, you confirm that both you and your parent or legal guardian have read, understood, and agreed to this Agreement.
- Payment for Additional Content
No additional payments are required to normally use these Services. However, accessing additional content may incur download fees or require payments through your Account. Details on download fees, Account payments, and other expenses, including purchases of content, are available during the initial purchase process. Information regarding special items within the Services will be provided prior to purchase. Payment costs and details can be reviewed via the Platform, Account information, or the payment company. The Company reserves the right to modify these costs and payments at any time.
Users can buy Service-related content according to each Platform's policy. Payments for purchases, content, and refunds will be governed by the Platform's policy. Refunds for items not specified in this Agreement are not permitted. Users can access additional content by paying extra fees, and some subscription content is only available for a limited time. Failure to make payment or discontinuation of payment may result in restricted access to additional content.
You are responsible for staying informed about changes to this Agreement, including changes to costs and payment conditions. If you disagree with the changes, you have the option to stop payments or terminate the Agreement. You are responsible for all fees associated with payments, including taxes, hardware, software, internet connection, and Account payment costs.
- Virtual Money and Goods
Our Services may include virtual currencies ("Virtual Money") and virtual items or services ("Virtual Goods") for use within our Services. You can purchase certain types of Virtual Money from us with real money if you have reached the legal age of majority in your country of residence, or if you are a minor or legally incompetent, with the supervision of a legal representative. Virtual Goods may also be purchased with real money and/or other credits. You agree to buy Specific Virtual Money and/or Virtual Goods exclusively from us. We reserve the right to charge for access to or use of Virtual Goods and to adjust the perceived value or pricing of any Specific Virtual Money or Virtual Goods. At our sole discretion, we may also distribute Specific Virtual Money or Virtual Goods for free.
You do not own Virtual Money or Virtual Goods; rather, you purchase a limited, personal, revocable license to use Virtual Money or Virtual Goods within the Services. Any balance of Virtual Money or Virtual Goods does not reflect any stored cash value. You have no rights, title, or ownership in Virtual Money or Virtual Goods.
Virtual Money and Virtual Goods have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for real money, goods, or services from us or anyone else. All sales of Specific Virtual Money and Virtual Goods are final; we will not issue refunds once a transaction is completed unless required by applicable laws and regulations. The license for the Specific Virtual Money or Virtual Goods is granted immediately upon purchase completion. Our Services are performed promptly, thus nullifying any right of withdrawal at this point.
We reserve the right to manage, regulate, alter, or remove any Virtual Money or Virtual Goods at our sole discretion and without liability to you. We do not recognize or permit any supposed transfers of Virtual Money or Virtual Goods outside our Services, nor the sale, gift, or trade in the real world of anything that appears or originates in our Services unless expressly authorized by us. Any such unauthorized transfer or attempt is void and may lead to Account termination.
