Effective October 19, 2026

Terms of Service

This is an English translation of the Korean Terms of Service. If the two differ, the Korean version prevails — except that for consumers habitually resident in the EEA, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, this English version is also binding and any difference is interpreted in the consumer’s favor.

These Terms set out the conditions for using the BapsangLog app and website (bapsanglog.com, the “Service”) provided by Nonscale Co., Ltd. (주식회사 논스케일, the “Company”).

Key points
· Only people aged 16 or older can sign up. If a member is confirmed to be under 16, we delete the account and the ratings it left. Agreement for location features is optional. (Articles 4 and 7)
· Anyone can read reviews on place pages. Unless you turn on “Public profile” (off at first), they appear without a name; if you turn it on, your nickname and scores are made public. Place pages on the web may appear in search engines. (Article 15)
· Even after you delete your account, your ratings remain in the Meal Score calculation in a form detached from your nickname and sign-in information. To delete them, use “Delete my score” before you delete your account, or choose “Also delete my ratings”. (Article 17)
· If you break the rules, we may take down posts or restrict your use without notice in advance. We tell you why, and you can appeal within 6 months. We terminate the agreement only after giving you 14 days to explain. (Articles 11, 12 and 16)
· When we change these Terms, we ask for your agreement again when you open the Service after the effective date. (Article 3)
· The Company does not check each visit one by one, and a Meal Score is not the Company’s guarantee of a place. The Company is not liable for damage that arises without its intent or negligence. (Articles 8 and 20)

Article 1 (Purpose)

1. These Terms set out the conditions and procedures for using the Service, and the rights and obligations of the Company and users.
2. For location features, the Location-Based Services Terms also apply; for personal information, the Privacy Policy; and for youth protection, the Youth Protection Policy.
3. Matters not covered by these Terms follow applicable law, and where the meaning is unclear, it is interpreted in the user’s favor.

Article 2 (Definitions)

• User — a person who uses the Service (including people who browse without signing in). A member is a user who has completed sign-up.
• Rating — the entered score a member leaves for a place, together with the highlights picked and the review added with it. The app and web screens also call a single member’s rating a “score” (for example, “Leave a score”).
• Entered score — the number from 1 to 100 that a member enters themselves. A converted score is the value converted into a place score, reflecting the member’s rating standard.
• Meal Score — a place’s score calculated by gathering members’ ratings. It is on a scale where 50 is average (How scoring works).
• Review — text of up to 300 characters that a member adds to a rating.
• Public profile — the setting that makes a member’s nickname, profile photo and entered scores visible to others. It is off at first (Article 15).
• Foodie — a member who has turned on “Public profile” and left ratings. Follow means seeing a foodie’s new ratings gathered in the “Foodies” tab.
• Posts — the nickname and profile photo a member puts up, reviews, ratings visible through “Public profile”, and text written in reports.
• “Notices” — My → ⚙ (Settings) → Notices. Reasons for actions, report outcomes and appeal outcomes arrive here.

Article 3 (Posting and changing these Terms)

1. The Company posts these Terms on the web (bapsanglog.com/en/terms) and in “Terms & policies” in the app, and keeps each version exactly as posted. You can view, save or print this version at bapsanglog.com/en/terms/2026-10-19, and earlier versions in the version history (except versions withdrawn before they took effect), at any time; if you ask by email, we will send you the version you agreed to.
2. When changing these Terms, the Company announces the effective date, the reason and what changes in the Service from 7 days before they take effect. If a change is unfavorable to users or significant, it announces it from 30 days before and also tells members separately (Article 19).
3. When these Terms change, we ask members, when they open the Service after the effective date, whether they agree. The Company does not treat a member as agreeing merely because they did not object. Members whose use is restricted are asked after the restriction is lifted.
4. Until they agree, members cannot use features that need an account. They can still browse, delete their account free of charge, and ask by email for their ratings to be deleted.

Article 4 (The agreement and age)

1. You do not need an account to browse, and these Terms also apply to users who are not signed in. Features that need an account, such as rating and saving places, are for members only.
2. The agreement is formed when a person who has signed in with Kakao, Naver, Google or Apple reads, on first sign-up, [Required] “I'm 16 or older, I agree to the Terms of Service, and I've read the Privacy Policy” and taps “Agree and start”.
3. People under 16 cannot sign up. If the Company learns of circumstances giving reason to believe that a member is under 16, it restricts their use and tells them why (Article 12). The member may state their age or appeal within 14 days. If there is no word from them, or they are confirmed to be under 16, the Company terminates the agreement and, unlike account deletion, also deletes the ratings they left (including reviews) and their “Haven't been” marks.
4. The app follows the age range reported by the app store. If you are reported as under 16, or if, in regions where the law requires age checks (such as some US states), you have not completed the app store’s verification, you cannot sign up in the app, and members who have already signed up may be limited to browsing in that app. The age range received is used only on the device and is not sent to the Company.
5. Agreement to the Location-Based Services Terms is optional and is obtained separately from agreement to these Terms (Article 7).
6. If it turns out that someone signed up in breach of these Terms, for example with another person’s sign-in method, the Company may terminate the agreement under Article 16.

Article 5 (Accounts)

1. From the sign-in provider, the Company receives only an identifier that tells members apart, and does not receive email addresses, phone numbers or real names.
2. Signing in by a different method creates a different account. Members look after their own sign-in methods and devices.

Article 6 (The Service)

1. The Company provides finding places (Map, lists, search and Ranking), viewing Meal Scores and place information, leaving, editing and deleting ratings, marking places “Haven't been”, saving places, public profiles, “Foodies” and following, reporting, blocking and “Hide this review”, saving as an image, notifications, and location features.
2. The Service is free. If paid features are added, their terms will be set separately and announced.
3. Place information is based on public data and user reports, and maps are drawn with Kakao Corp.’s map service.

Article 7 (Location features)

1. Two features use location. “Near me” in “Ranking” shows places near your location in order of highest Meal Score, and “My location on the map” opens “Map” at your location, while “Go to my location” moves the map to your location.
2. To use location features, you must separately agree to the Location-Based Services Terms, and this agreement is optional. We ask when you sign up or when you first use a location feature. Before you agree, we do not ask for the device’s location permission, and even if you do not agree, you can use all other features as before.
3. Members can, at any time in My → ⚙ (Settings) → Location, withdraw their agreement, pause location features, or turn them off feature by feature.

Article 8 (Ratings and Meal Scores)

1. Only members can leave ratings, one per place, and they can edit them at any time. The Company does not change the entered score a member enters, and keeps the edit history to prevent manipulation. If you delete a rating with “Delete my score” on the place page, the entered score, highlights, review and edit history for that place, and the “Haven't been” mark, are deleted and removed from the calculation. This cannot be undone.
2. There is a daily limit on the number of ratings you can leave, edit or delete.
3. The Company does not check, one by one, whether a member who rated a place actually went there. Instead, ratings are protected by the rules in this Article, the ratings prohibited by Article 9 (ratings of places the member hasn’t been to, ratings given or obtained for payment or other reward, ratings from multiple accounts, etc.), reports, and actions under Article 11.
4. Meal Scores are calculated by adjusting for each person’s different rating standard (whether they tend to rate generously or strictly), so the same entered score may count for more or less depending on who gave it. Also, so that one or two accounts cannot sway a Meal Score, there is a calculation rule applied the same way to every account, under which some ratings are automatically down-weighted. For places rated by few people, we also show text saying that the score may be less accurate.
5. We publish how the calculation works in How scoring works. We do not publish the formula or the detailed parameters, to prevent manipulation.
6. The Company does not exclude or hide a rating or review merely because its score is low or the review is unfavorable to a place. It does not change scores or order, or hide reviews, in exchange for payment or other reward, and does not do so merely because a place asked.
7. Ratings that a person has checked and judged to be manipulation or a breach of Article 9 may be excluded from, or down-weighted in, the Meal Score calculation. Even then, the entered score is not changed, and we tell that member (Article 12).
8. The order in which places and foodies are listed follows the criteria set for each screen or chosen by the user (highest Meal Score first, nearest first, most popular, etc.). “Ranking” is in order of highest Meal Score, and search results, unless you choose otherwise, list places whose names match the search term first, nearest first.
9. Reviews are not used in the Meal Score calculation. If a review contains set words, such as profanity or hateful expressions, neither the review nor the score and highlights sent with it are accepted, and a review is deleted together when you delete your rating for that place or delete your account.

Article 9 (Community rules)

The Company does not tolerate posts that cause offense or harm, or behavior that harasses other users. However, a rating written from your own experience does not break this Article merely because it is unfavorable to a place. Users must not:

1. post a nickname, photo or text that causes offense or harm, such as profanity, hateful or discriminatory expressions, or sexual or violent content;
2. post illegally filmed material, falsified video material (synthetic material such as deepfakes), or child or youth sexual exploitation material;
3. post content that incites, glorifies or supports terrorism;
4. encourage suicide, self-harm or eating disorders, or explain how to do them;
5. impersonate another person or the Company;
6. infringe other people’s rights, such as their likeness, personal information or copyright, defame others, or damage the credit of a place or another person with false facts;
7. harass or threaten other users;
8. post advertising or promotion, reviews unrelated to the place or the meal, or content promoting narcotics or illegal goods or services;
9. leave ratings or reviews that do not reflect the facts in order to move scores, rate a place they haven’t been to, or make up content they did not experience with generative artificial intelligence or the like and post it;
10. leave ratings or reviews in exchange for payment or other reward, or give payment or other reward to have others leave them;
11. rate a place they run or work at;
12. rate the same place repeatedly from multiple accounts;
13. access the Service or collect information from it by automated means the Company has not permitted (search engines that follow the crawling rules are permitted), or interfere with its operation; or
14. otherwise break the law.

Article 10 (Reporting and blocking)

1. Anyone can report. Please tell us about posts and members that are illegal or break these Terms, and about wrong place information, through “Report” and ⋯ in the app and on the web (for members who are signed in), the report form, which you can use without signing in, “Report this page” on public pages on the web, or email (admin@thenonscale.com).
2. Please say what you are reporting and why. If you do not give an email address, we cannot tell you the outcome.
3. We confirm receipt right away on screen for reports made in the app, on the web or through the report form, and by email for reports sent by email.
4. Reports are reviewed by a person and, as a rule, handled within 24 hours of receipt. If it takes longer, we tell reporters we can reach the reason and the expected timeline.
5. When handling is complete, we tell the reporter the outcome through “Notices” or by email. However, we do not tell them what action was taken on the reported member’s account. What you can do if you disagree with the outcome is set out in Article 12(5).
6. We do not tell a reported member who reported them, unless the law requires it to be disclosed.
7. Members who are signed in can block another member from ⋯, or remove a review shown without a name from their own screens with “Hide this review”. The other person is not told, and the Meal Score calculation does not change.
8. There is a limit on the number of reports you can send, and when many reports arrive at once, we may stop accepting them for a while. In that case, please send your report by email.

Article 11 (Actions on posts and accounts)

1. For posts or conduct that break these Terms or the law, the Company may remove a nickname, take down a profile photo, hide a review, stop a public profile, exclude ratings from or down-weight them in the Meal Score calculation (Article 8(7)), restrict use, or terminate the agreement (Article 16).
2. The Service automatically rejects nicknames and reviews that contain set words, and ratings and reports beyond set numbers, and down-weights some ratings under the calculation rule in Article 8(4). The actions in paragraph 1 are decided by a person after checking, and each notice of action states whether automated means were used.
3. The Company chooses an appropriate action diligently and objectively, considering the nature and seriousness of the breach, whether it was intentional or repeated, and its effect on other users, with regard for users’ rights such as freedom of expression.
4. Actions other than termination of the agreement may be taken without prior notice (for giving reasons, see Article 12).
5. Illegally filmed material, falsified video material, and child or youth sexual exploitation material are deleted or made inaccessible immediately upon our becoming aware of them and reported to the relevant authorities to the extent the law allows, and the use of the member who posted it is restricted immediately.

Article 12 (Reasons for actions and appeals)

1. When the Company takes an action in Article 11(1), it tells the member, no later than the day of the action (for termination, before terminating), what it did (including its scope and duration), why (including whether it came from a report), the provision or law it was based on, whether automated means were used, how to appeal, and that they can bring a lawsuit in court. It does so through “Notices” and push notifications (on devices that have allowed notifications).
2. We may not notify actions that exclude or hide deceptive, high-volume commercial posts and ratings (restrictions and terminations of accounts are notified). Where the law or an order of an authority prohibits notification, we follow it.
3. A member who has received an action may appeal within 6 months from the day they receive the notice. You can appeal from the notice of action or by email, free of charge. Against a notice that the agreement will be terminated, you must appeal within 14 days (Article 16(3)).
4. Appeals are reviewed again by a person, and we tell you the outcome and reasons within 14 days of receipt. If the action was wrong or excessive, we correct it without delay.
5. A member who has received an action, and a person who reported, may bring a lawsuit in court at any time, regardless of any appeal. Users living in the European Union also have the route in Article 22(7).

Article 13 (Posts that infringe rights)

1. Anyone whose rights are infringed by a post, for example through invasion of privacy or defamation, may, explaining the infringement, ask through the report form or by email for the post to be deleted or for a rebuttal to be published (Article 44-2 of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (Network Act)). Requests to publish a rebuttal are also handled under this Article.
2. The Company takes the necessary action, such as deletion or a temporary measure, without delay, and immediately informs the requester by the email address they gave in the request, and the member who posted it through “Notices” (and also by email, if that member has told us in advance an email address for such notices). An action to delete a review is carried out by hiding it so that others cannot see it. Where the post appeared (for a review, the place page; otherwise, that member’s public page), we place a notice stating what was done and the date, but it does not say who wrote it, who made the request, or what the request said.
3. If it is hard to decide whether a post infringes rights, or a dispute is expected, the Company may make the post invisible to others for up to 30 days (a temporary measure).
4. A person reviews each temporary measure again within that period and concludes it. If the post does not infringe rights, or no judgment is made within the period, we restore it, take down the notice, and tell the member who posted it.
5. The member who posted it may appeal under Article 12.
6. The Company may apply a temporary measure in the same way to a post it recognizes as infringing rights, even without a request.
7. The person claiming that their rights were infringed and the member who posted it may apply to the Korea Communications Standards Commission (its Dispute Mediation Division) for dispute mediation (Article 44-20 of the Network Act).

Article 14 (Orders and requests from authorities)

1. If a competent authority, such as a court or an administrative agency, orders the Company under the law to take down a post or to provide a user’s information, the Company complies after checking the basis and scope. Orders from another country’s authorities are complied with to the extent that country’s law applies, and user information is provided only where the laws of the Republic of Korea also allow it.
2. The user who is the subject of the order is told, no later than when it is carried out, the content of the order, the reasons for it and how to challenge it, unless the law or the order prevents this.
3. If the Company becomes aware of information giving rise to a suspicion of a crime that threatens a person’s life or safety, it informs the investigative authorities immediately, to the extent the law allows.

Article 15 (Visibility and rights in posts)

1. When “Public profile” is on, the member’s nickname, profile photo, number of places rated, follower count and how generous they are, and for each place the entered score and the month it was left, appear under “Public Meal Scores” on place pages (together with that member’s reviews), in the “Foodies” tab and on the member’s public page. Because ratings newly left or edited appear right away, others may be able to guess where you have been or where you are now. Turning it off takes them down right away, but link previews already posted on other services, such as messaging apps, may remain. The ratings of members who have not turned it on do not show who left them.
2. Anyone can read reviews on place pages regardless of “Public profile”, and reviews by members who have not turned it on appear as “BapsangLog member”. After it is turned off, earlier reviews also appear without a name, but people who saw them while the profile was public can tell whose they are.
3. Place pages on the web can be collected by search engines, so the reviews shown there, and publicly shown nicknames, profile photos and scores, may remain in copies stored by search engines, and the Company cannot withdraw them. Public pages and the “Foodies” screen are marked so that search engines do not include them.
4. You can follow without turning on “Public profile”, and others see only the follower count. If a foodie turns off “Public profile” (including when it is turned off by an action under Article 11), follows of that foodie are deleted and cannot be restored.
5. The rights to nicknames, profile photos and reviews belong to the member. The member permits the Company, to the extent needed to provide the Service, to store them, reduce their size, and show them on screens and in search engines (place pages on the web). This permission ends when the member deletes the post or their account. Members upload only photos and text they have the rights to.

Article 16 (Restriction and termination)

1. The Company may restrict use of an account for a set period, depending on how serious the breach is. A restriction without a set period is used only during the termination procedure or where use must be stopped immediately. While restricted, the member cannot do things done with an account, such as leaving ratings and reviews, saving places, following and reporting; their ratings are excluded from the Meal Score calculation, and their reviews and public content are not shown either. They can still browse, view “Notices”, appeal, change location settings and delete their account. To delete ratings, please ask by email.
2. When use is restricted, we show this on the “My” screen and give the reasons (Article 12).
3. If a breach is serious or repeated, the Company may terminate the agreement. It first restricts use and tells the member why it intends to terminate, and then accepts an explanation or appeal for 14 days. It terminates if there is no word, or after a person has reviewed the matter again, decided not to accept the appeal and told the member. A terminated account is handled the same way as account deletion (for members under 16, Article 4(3)).
4. Where use must be stopped immediately, as with illegally filmed material (Article 11(5)) or terrorist content, the Company deletes the post and restricts use immediately, and termination then follows paragraph 3.

Article 17 (Deleting your account)

1. Members can delete their account at any time, free of charge, in My → ⚙ (Settings) → Delete account. If you cannot use the app, you can ask by email (Account deletion).
2. Account deletion cannot be undone. Information in the account is deleted, including your nickname, profile photo and sign-in information, reviews, saved places, follows, public page and location use records. Your ratings (entered scores, highlights and edit history) and “Haven't been” marks remain only in the Meal Score and statistics calculations, in a form detached from your nickname and sign-in information (pseudonymized information — Privacy Policy, section 3). To delete your ratings as well, delete them with “Delete my score” before you delete your account, or choose “Also delete my ratings” when you delete your account. You cannot delete them after you have deleted your account.
3. Records that remain for set periods after account deletion, such as records of reports, actions and appeals, are set out in section 2 of the Privacy Policy.

Article 18 (Changes to and suspension of the Service)

1. The Company may change the Service or suspend part of it for reasons such as law, security, preventing abuse, changes in technology or external services, or changing or withdrawing features.
2. To change the Service in a way unfavorable to users, or to suspend it entirely, the Company announces it 30 days in advance and also tells members separately. If a change is urgent for security or legal reasons, it announces the change without delay after making it.
3. The Service may pause temporarily because of maintenance, outages, natural disasters and the like. Suspending or ending location features follows the Location-Based Services Terms.

Article 19 (How the Company notifies you)

1. Because the Company does not collect email addresses or phone numbers at sign-up, it posts notices meant for all members in the Service, and notifies an individual member through “Notices”, push notifications (on devices that have allowed notifications) and notices on the Service’s screens.
2. “The day the member receives the notice” is the day that notice arrives in “Notices”.

Article 20 (Limits of liability)

1. Place information may differ from reality.
2. Meal Scores are the result of gathering members’ ratings, and visits are not checked (Article 8(3)), so a Meal Score is not the Company’s guarantee of a place’s taste, hygiene or service.
3. The Company is not liable for disputes between users that arise without its intent or negligence, or for damage caused by things beyond its control, such as natural disasters or failures of telecommunications networks. Faults of those the Company has engaged to provide the Service (Privacy Policy, section 6) are treated the same as the Company’s own fault.
4. The Company is liable for damage caused by its intent or negligence, and bears liability for damages under the Personal Information Protection Act and the Location Information Act as those Acts provide.
5. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability of the Company that the law does not allow to be limited. Examples include liability for death or personal injury, liability arising from fraud, and rights guaranteed by the consumer law of the country where the user lives.

Article 21 (Governing law, jurisdiction and language)

1. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea. However, rights that the law of the country where the user lives guarantees to consumers and that cannot be reduced by contract are not reduced.
2. Disputes are brought before the court with jurisdiction under the Act on Private International Law and the Civil Procedure Act.
3. The Korean version is the authoritative version. The English version is provided to help understanding, and if the two differ in meaning, the Korean version prevails (for consumers in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, see Article 22(6)).

Article 22 (Consumers in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland)

1. This Article applies to consumers living in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland. Where it differs from other Articles, this Article prevails.
2. Consumers may bring a lawsuit in the courts of the country where they live, and the Company brings lawsuits against them only in the courts of the country where they live (for Switzerland, as Swiss law provides).
3. Members may end the agreement at any time, within 14 days of signing up or later, without giving a reason and free of charge (by account deletion under Article 17 or by email).
4. If the Service does not match its description, we fix it free of charge, and if we cannot, the member may end the agreement.
5. If the Service is changed in a way unfavorable to users, we tell you what will change and when 30 days in advance, and members may end the agreement free of charge within 30 days from the later of the day they receive the notice and the day of the change.
6. The English version is equally authoritative with the Korean version, and if the two differ in meaning, the one more favorable to the consumer prevails. The Company does not take part in procedures before alternative dispute resolution (ADR) bodies for consumer disputes in the European Union or the United Kingdom.
7. For an order from an authority of an EU Member State, the Company informs that authority without delay that it received the order and whether and when it complied, and it complies with a removal order for terrorist content within 1 hour of receipt. Crimes threatening life or safety are reported to the authorities of the Member State concerned or to Europol. Users living in the European Union may lodge a complaint with the Digital Services Coordinator of the country where they live.

Addendum

1. These Terms take effect on October 19, 2026, and replace the Terms of Service in effect from October 5, 2026 (the “previous Terms”).
2. The previous Terms provided that changes would be announced 7 days (30 days if significant) in advance, but these Terms take effect the day after they are posted.
3. Members who have already signed up are asked, when they open the Service after these Terms take effect, whether they agree, and these Terms apply from when they agree (until then, the previous Terms apply). Until they agree, they can only read the terms and policies, sign out, browse and delete their account, and they can ask by email for their ratings to be deleted.
