Members can now attach up to 5 photos to the review on a rating, so we have added photos to reviews and posts. Photos can be uploaded once these Terms have taken effect. The differences from the version effective October 19, 2026 are as follows.

We have shortened these Terms, keeping only the principles, as other services’ terms do. They now cover the current Service (reviews, “Foodies” and following, deleting your score, and changed screen names), and take effect the day after they are posted. The main differences from the version effective October 5, 2026 are as follows.
| Where | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Whole document | 24 articles, setting out screen paths and operating procedures in detail | Reduced to 23 articles setting out only the principles. Language is merged into Article 21, and company information has moved to Article 23 |
| Article 3, changing the Terms | Minor changes were treated as agreed if not objected to | Members are not treated as agreeing merely because they did not object, and when the Terms change, we always ask for agreement again after the effective date |
| Articles 2, 6 and 15, visibility | Turning on public visibility put nicknames and scores on place pages and the public page | Added reviews, “Public profile”, and “Foodies” and following. Set out that turning it on puts them in three places, including the “Foodies” tab, that anyone can read reviews, and that place pages on the web may appear in search engines |
| Article 8, ratings and Meal Scores | Ratings could only be edited. The order of lists was set out for each screen | Ratings can be deleted with “Delete my score”. Added reviews (300 characters, not used in the calculation), and shortened the order to say that it follows the criteria set for each screen or chosen by the user |
| Article 9, community rules | The bans on rewards, rating your own place and content that does not reflect the facts applied only to ratings | They now apply to reviews too. Added damaging credit with false facts, narcotics, text made up with generative artificial intelligence, and unrelated text. Set out that an unfavorable rating written from your own experience is not a breach |
| Articles 10 and 11, reporting and actions | Only blocking. Actions did not include hiding reviews | Added “Hide this review”, hiding reviews, and the limit on the number of reports |
| Article 13, infringement of rights | The notice of action was placed on the public page | It is placed where the post appeared (for a review, the place page). Added applying for dispute mediation |
| Article 17, deleting your account | The ways to delete ratings were not set out | Set out “Delete my score” before deleting your account and “Also delete my ratings” when deleting it |
| Articles 22 and 23 | Provisions for European consumers and authorities were spread over several Articles. Company information included a phone number | Gathered in Article 22. Removed the phone number; contact is by email |
| Screen names and Addendum | Tab and settings names from launch | Changed to the names in the current app (“Map”, “Ranking”, “Foodies”, “My”, “Public profile” and “Notices”). Set out that these Terms take effect the day after they are posted, and that they cannot be agreed to in the app before the update |

First version.
Before this, the web carried the Terms of Service effective September 11, 2026 (the previous Terms). The version effective October 7, 2026, posted on September 30, 2026, was withdrawn before it took effect and is not listed in the version history (Addendum, paragraph 2). To coincide with the official launch, this version takes effect four days after the day it was posted. The previous Terms provided that changes to the Terms would be announced 7 days before they take effect (30 days before if unfavorable), and this version does not observe that period. Members who have already signed up are asked for their agreement as soon as they open the Service, and this version applies from when they agree. Until they agree, they can only read the terms and policies, sign out and browse, or delete their account (Addendum, paragraphs 3 and 5). The main differences from the previous Terms are as follows.
| Where | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Article 4 — sign-up age | 14 or older | 16 or older in every country. If there are circumstances giving reason to believe someone is under 16, we first restrict use and tell them why, then check within 14 days and delete the account and the ratings and “Haven't been” marks it left. This also applies to members who have already signed up |
| Articles 3 and 4 — agreeing to and changing the Terms | Proceeding with sign-in was treated as agreement. Changes were announced 7 days ahead (30 days if unfavorable) | Agreement is obtained on first sign-up, together with confirmation of being 16 or older. These Terms also apply to users who use the Service without signing in. Members who have already signed up are also asked for their agreement right away. The reasons for changes are limited, and only minor changes are treated as agreed if not objected to by the effective date. Unfavorable or significant changes require agreement again |
| Article 7 — location features | — | Location features can be used only with separate (optional) agreement to the Location-Based Services Terms |
| Article 8 — ratings and Meal Scores | Entered scores are not changed; ratings can be edited; daily limit. Recalculated once a day; formula not published; scores are not changed in exchange for payment or other reward | Sets out that visits are not checked and what is done instead, the calculation rule that automatically down-weights ratings, that members are told when a person decides to exclude their ratings from the calculation, and the order in which each screen lists places |
| Article 9 — community rules | Four (false ratings to change scores, ratings given or obtained for payment or other reward, ratings from multiple accounts, automated means) | Added: rating places you haven’t been to, profanity or hateful expressions in nicknames and profile photos, illegally filmed material, falsified video material and child or youth sexual exploitation material, terrorism, encouraging suicide, self-harm or eating disorders, impersonation, infringement of rights and defamation, harassment, illegal advertising, rating a place you run or work at, interfering with operations, and breaking the law |
| Article 10 — reporting | None | Anyone can report without signing in, through the app, the web, the report form or email, and the reporter is told the outcome |
| Articles 11, 12 and 16 — actions and appeals | If a breach was confirmed, ratings could be excluded from the score calculation or the account restricted. No procedure for giving reasons or for appeals | Lists each possible action. Reasons for actions are sent to “Notices” under MY (and also by push notification to devices that have allowed notifications), and you can appeal within 6 months. While use is restricted, ratings are excluded from the Meal Score calculation. Termination comes after first restricting use and giving 14 days to explain or appeal |
| Articles 13 and 14 — infringement of rights and orders from authorities | Posts that infringe others’ rights or break the law may be deleted | Sets out the procedure for requests for deletion or publication of a rebuttal and for temporary measures, and what the Company does when it receives an order from authorities |
| Article 15 — visibility and rights in posts | Users hold copyright in their comments, and the Company may display them as needed to run and promote the Service | Nicknames and profile photos are visible only when “Make my Meal Scores public” is on, and the Company uses them only as needed to provide the Service. The permission to use them for promotion has been removed |
| Article 17 — deleting your account | Identifying information is deleted, and ratings remain only in statistics, in a form that does not show who left them. The Company cannot restore the link either | Lists each thing that is deleted and each record that remains. Ratings remain in the Meal Score and statistics calculations in a form detached from nickname and sign-in information (together with only the sign-up time) |
| Article 18 — changes to and suspension of the Service | The Service may be changed or suspended; significant changes are announced in advance | Limits the reasons for changes, and gives 30 days’ notice before changing the Service unfavorably or suspending it entirely |
| Article 20 — liability | Place information and scores are not guaranteed | The Company is not liable only where there is no intent or negligence on its part, and it still bears liability that the law does not allow to be limited |
| Articles 21 to 23 — governing law and jurisdiction, and the EEA, the UK and Switzerland | Governed by Korean law; disputes are brought before the court with jurisdiction under the Civil Procedure Act | Sets out consumer rights and courts in the country where you live, the right to end the agreement at any time, and the effect of the English version |
| Article 24 — company information | — | Sets out the address, phone number, business registration number, corporate registration number and location-based service business filing number |
