04

Creation of Account

① There is no separate member registration procedure for the Service. An account is created at the time a user first logs in with an Apple, Kakao, Naver, or Google account, at which time the user is deemed to have agreed to these Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy.

② Accounts are identified by the unit of the social account used for login. If the same person logs in with different social accounts, separate accounts will be created, and the social account used for login cannot be changed within the Service.

③ The nickname of the account is automatically generated by the Company upon registration, and members may directly modify their nicknames and optional items (gender and age group) in the profile settings. Members shall bear any disadvantages arising from failure to modify member information.

Eligibility for Use

④ Members must be at least 14 years of age. The Company confirms that members are at least 14 years of age through a confirmation box on the login screen, and may delete the account if it is confirmed that the member is under 14 years of age.

Maintenance of Login Status

⑤ The login status is maintained for a maximum of 14 days, and users must log in again after expiration. Logging out only releases the login status of the relevant device, while the account and posts remain intact.

Responsibility for Account Management

⑥ Accounts must be used solely by the account holder and cannot be lent or transferred to others. Users shall manage authentication means, such as the passwords of the social accounts used for login.

⑦ If a user discovers that their account has been stolen, they must immediately change the password of their social account and notify the inquiry channel. The Company shall not be liable for damages arising from a user's negligence in management.

05

Withdrawal of Membership

① Members may withdraw from membership at any time on the Membership Withdrawal Page of the website, and if a withdrawal menu is provided in the app, they may also withdraw through the app. If logging in is difficult, you may request account deletion through the inquiry channel.

② The effects of withdrawal are as follows:

• 1. Account information (social login connection information, nickname, email, gender, age group) and all posts (cooking reviews and attached photos, personal recipe versions, favorites, cooking logs, recommendation reactions) are immediately and permanently deleted. There is no grace period or recovery procedure, and deleted contents cannot be restored.
• 2. Since the app and the website use the same account, regardless of which side you withdraw from, records on both sides are deleted together.
• 3. Accounts logged in via Kakao will also have their connection with Kakao disconnected upon withdrawal. Connections of other social accounts can be disconnected directly by the member in the settings of each platform.
• 4. Emails separately consented to for app launch notifications (pre-registration) are not deleted by withdrawal, and members may withdraw their consent to receive them through the inquiry channel.
• 5. Even if the login status issued before withdrawal remains on the device, the service cannot be used with a deleted account.

Restriction of Use

③ If a user engages in prohibited acts under Article 11 or violates relevant laws or these Terms and Conditions, the Company may restrict the use of the service or delete the account after notifying in advance. However, if other users or the service need to be protected urgently, action may be taken first and then notified.

④ Users may raise an objection to the restriction of use through the inquiry channel, and if the Company determines that the objection is justified, it shall immediately resume use.

06

• 3. Videos containing cooking processes (videos that are not cooking processes, such as mukbang, reviews, vlogs, and advertisements, are excluded)

Usage Limits

④ Conversions may be requested up to 3 times per hour per access location (IP), and there is also a cap on the daily conversion volume for the entire service.

The Company may adjust the limits according to operational circumstances, and the changed limits are displayed on the conversion screen.

Disclosure and Review of Conversion Results

Converted recipes are disclosed to all users

User Compliance Requirements

⑥ Users must comply with the YouTube Terms of Service when using the conversion feature, and by requesting conversion, are deemed to have agreed to these Terms, the YouTube Terms of Service, and the Privacy Policy.

Automatically generated information is reference information to assist with cooking, and ingredients, quantities, cooking times, temperatures, and allergy information may be omitted or incorrect during the generation process.

② Users must directly verify information regarding quantities, cooking times, temperatures, allergen ingredients, and food safety through the original video and product labels, and must not make judgments based solely on automatically generated information.

Scope and Visibility of Posts

① Cooking reviews (star ratings, memos, next memos, photos), personal recipe versions (self-modifications with adjusted servings and ingredients), favorites, cooking logs, and recommendation reactions saved by members are displayed only to the members themselves. Currently, the service does not have a feature to make posts public or share them with other users, and if a public feature is introduced, this Article will be amended in accordance with Article 3.

Rights and License to Use Posts

② Copyright in posts belongs to the member who created them. Members grant the Company permission to store, display, and back up posts to the extent necessary for the Company to provide the service, and to use them to create the member's next cooking recommendations.

Cooking reviews and personal recipe versions do not provide individual modification or deletion functions after storage, and members may request the deletion of specific posts through the inquiry channel or delete all posts at once by withdrawing membership pursuant to Article 5.

Responsibility for Posts

⑥ Responsibility for the content of posts rests with the member who wrote them.
