Effective date: 3 September 2026
Chapter 1. General Provisions
Article 1 (Purpose)
These Terms govern the rights, obligations and responsibilities between w3company co.,ltd. ("the Company") and members in relation to the social discovery service "Moji" ("the Service").
Article 2 (Definitions)
- "Service" means the Moji mobile application, website and all related services operated by the Company.
- "Member" means a person who has agreed to these Terms and entered into a service agreement with the Company.
- "Member Content" means photographs, video, audio, text, profile information and any other material a member uploads to or transmits through the Service.
- "Paid Service" means subscriptions, items and other goods the Company provides for a fee.

Article 3 (Publication and amendment of these Terms)
- The Company posts these Terms where members can readily see them.
- The Company may amend these Terms within the limits of applicable law, including the Act on the Regulation of Terms and Conditions, the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, the Network Act, the Personal Information Protection Act and the Location Information Act of the Republic of Korea.
- When amending these Terms, the Company states the amended content, the effective date and the reason, and gives notice from 7 days before the effective date. An individual notice is also given by in-app message. The Company may not hold a member's email address and therefore does not give notice by email.
- Where the Company has clearly stated that failure to object by the effective date will be treated as agreement, and a member does not object, the member is deemed to have agreed.
- A member may refuse an amendment and terminate the agreement before the effective date. The Company will not disadvantage a member for doing so, and unused Paid Services are refunded under Article 30.
- Where an amendment to Article 33 (Limitation of liability) or Article 35 (Governing law and jurisdiction) is unfavourable to members, the Company does not rely on deemed agreement and instead obtains the member's express consent.
Article 4 (Interpretation)
- Matters not provided for here are governed by applicable law and commercial practice.
- The Company may adopt separate policies or guidelines for individual features. Where they conflict with these Terms, they prevail; where they are less favourable to members than these Terms, these Terms prevail.
- Where the law of a member's country of habitual residence contains mandatory provisions more favourable to that member, those provisions prevail over these Terms to that extent.
Chapter 2. The Service Agreement
Article 5 (Formation)
- The agreement is formed when a person agrees to these Terms, applies through the Company's procedure, and the Company accepts.
- The Company may refuse or later terminate an application where the applicant does not meet Article 6; has misappropriated another person's identity, photograph or credentials; applies in order to evade an enforcement measure; provides false or incomplete information; or where it is clear that the applicant would breach the law or endanger other members.
Article 6 (Eligibility and age)
- The Service is available only to individuals aged 18 or over. Persons under 18 are prohibited from registering or using the Service.
- Members must state their date of birth truthfully.
- Where there is reasonable ground to believe a member is under 18, the Company may require Face Verification or another age check. If the member does not comply, or the check shows the member is under 18, the Company suspends the account or terminates the agreement.
- On confirming an account belongs to a person under 18, the Company immediately stops the account and deletes the personal data collected from it without delay, retaining only the minimum identifier needed to prevent re-registration.
- Accounts suspected of belonging to a person under 18 may be reported in-app or to [email protected].
Article 6-2 (Paid purchases by minors in the Republic of Korea)
- Article 4 of the Korean Civil Act sets the age of majority at 19. A member resident in the Republic of Korea who is under 19 may therefore register and use the Service, but must obtain the consent of a legal representative before purchasing a paid service.
- Where a paid purchase is made without that consent, the member or the legal representative may rescind the purchase under the Civil Act, and the Company will process the refund through the payment processor's procedure.

- Members must keep their account information accurate and update it without delay when it changes.
Article 8 (Responsibility for the account)
- Members must manage their own account and credentials and must not allow a third party to use them.
- Members must notify the Company immediately on becoming aware of unauthorised use.
- The Company is not liable for loss arising from a failure to give the notice under paragraph 2. This does not apply to loss caused by the Company's intent or negligence.
Article 9 (No transfer of accounts)
Members may not transfer, lend, pledge or sell their account, account status, items or entitlements. The Company may take the measures in Article 24 against an account that does so.
Chapter 3. The Service
Article 10 (Content of the Service)
The Company provides profile registration, recommendations and matching, text and voice messaging, voice and video calls, translation, map-based discovery, Paid Services and related features. Details are posted in the Service. The Company may not provide, or may discontinue, some of these features; what the Company actually provides is as posted in the Service.
Article 11 (Location-based features)
- Where the member consents, the Company uses location information for map-based discovery and nearby-member recommendations, and also to prevent misuse.
- The collection, use and provision of location information are governed by Article 11-2, to which the member must consent separately before using these features.
- A member may withdraw that consent at any time and may continue to use the rest of the Service.
Article 11-2 (Location-based service: detailed terms)
This Article sets out the matters that Articles 18 and 19 of the Location Information Act require to be stated in the terms of service.
- What the service does. The Company uses personal location data to provide the following. Map view shows members who are currently active on a map, converting a member's location into a value that can be plotted. Nearby recommendations gives priority to members who are close by, calculating the distance between members. Region display shows an approximate area on the profile, converting the location to a city. Misuse prevention detects location spoofing to block fraudulent and duplicate accounts, checking whether a member's reported location matches their actual location.
- Use and provision. The Company uses personal location data only for the purposes in paragraph 1 and does not provide it to third parties without the member's consent. The Company may entrust the processing of personal location data to overseas providers in order to operate the Service; those providers and their countries are listed in Article 12 of the Moji Privacy Policy. Entrustment is not provision to a third party. The Company does not provide personal location data to advertising providers.
- Notification on provision to a third party. Where personal location data is provided to a third party designated by the member, the Company notifies the member on each occasion, immediately, of the recipient, the date and time and the purpose. Where the member separately consents, notifications may be aggregated over a period of up to 30 days.
- What other members see. The Company does not show a member's exact location to other members. It shows a value blurred to a set radius, or converted to a city.
- Confirmation data on use and provision. The Company retains confirmation data on the use and provision of location data in its location information system for six months or longer. Where necessary to respond to a member report or dispute, to confirm fraudulent use, or to a request for assistance from an investigative authority, the data is retained until that ground ceases to apply. The basis for retention is Article 16(2) of that Act.
- Retention of personal location data. The Company holds personal location data for the purpose of providing the features in paragraph 1 and destroys it without delay once that purpose is achieved. Location data used for the map view and nearby recommendations is held until the member stops using location-based features or withdraws consent, and is destroyed at that point; the same applies to region information converted to a city. Location data used to prevent misuse is held while the account remains active and is destroyed without delay when the member deletes the account or withdraws consent. Where otherwise necessary to provide location-based features, the data may be held for the minimum period necessary to achieve the purpose of use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where there is a legitimate ground for retention under other statutes or under that Act, that ground applies. Destruction is carried out by a method that prevents recovery or restoration.
- Member rights and how to exercise them. A member may withdraw all or part of their consent to the collection, use and provision of personal location data at any time; require the collection, use and provision to be suspended temporarily, which the Company does not refuse and which the member may also do directly by turning off the location permission in the device settings; require access to, or notification of, the confirmation data on the use and provision of their location data; require notification of the reason for and content of any provision of their personal location data to a third party under applicable law; and require correction where that data contains an error. The Company does not refuse these requests without justified cause. Rights may be exercised in the in-app location settings or at [email protected]. Where a member withdraws all or part of their consent, the Company destroys the personal location data and the confirmation data without delay.
- Children aged 8 or under. The Service is available only to those aged 18 or over, so the Company does not collect the personal location data of children aged 8 or under. Where an account is confirmed to belong to a person under 18, collection of personal location data stops immediately and any personal location data held is destroyed.
- Damages. Where the Company breaches Articles 15 to 26 of that Act and a member suffers loss, the member may claim damages, and the Company is not relieved of liability unless it proves the absence of intent or negligence.
- Dispute resolution. Where the Company and a member cannot resolve a location-data dispute by agreement, either may apply to the Personal Information Dispute Mediation Committee under Article 40 of the Personal Information Protection Act. The Company may apply to the Korea Media and Communications Commission for adjudication.

Article 12 (AI features)
- The Company uses automated analysis for: (a) recommending members and ordering how they are displayed; (b) translating messages; and (c) detecting fraudulent accounts, spam, impersonated profiles, and unlawful or harmful content.
- Based on paragraph 1(c), the Company may issue a warning, remove content, require Face Verification again, restrict a feature, or suspend an account.
- A permanent account suspension is never confirmed on the basis of an automated determination alone; a member of staff carries out the final review.
- A member may request an explanation of the basis for a measure under paragraph 2 and may request human re-review. The procedure is set out in Article 26.
- Automated analysis does not involve a person reading individual conversations. Where a report is received or a detection occurs, staff may review the material to the minimum extent needed to reach a decision.
Article 13 (Face Verification)
- The Company may require Face Verification in order to prevent fraudulent accounts and profile impersonation.
- Face Verification is required where a member seeks a verification badge; where an impersonation report is received; where the primary profile photograph is changed; or where a detection under Article 12(1)(c) requires further checking.
- The handling, retention and destruction of face data are governed by Article 6 of the Moji Privacy Policy, and before collecting face data the Company informs the member of the items collected, the purpose, the retention period and the method of destruction.
- Face data is used to confirm identity, confirm liveness, prevent fraud, impersonation and re-registration, respond to member reports and disputes, and improve the accuracy of safety functions. Where the Company wishes to use it for any other purpose, it obtains the member's separate consent. The Company does not sell face data to any third party.
- A member may decline Face Verification. In that case the member cannot obtain a verification badge and, where any of the second to fourth grounds in paragraph 2 arises, use of the Service may be restricted until that ground is resolved.
- Special provisions for members resident in Illinois, Texas and Washington are set out in the United States section of the Moji Privacy Policy.
Article 14 (Voice and video calls)
- Calls are transmitted in real time. The Company does not record or store the audio or video content of calls. Only technical records such as call time, duration and connection information are processed, for call quality and safety.

Article 19 (Face, voice and likeness - special provision)

Where the Company wishes to use them for advertising or external promotion beyond the purposes in paragraph 2, it obtains the member's separate consent.
