Article 12 (Charges for Service Usage, Etc.)
• The Company may charge a service usage fee as consideration for the member's use of the service. Service usage fees are offered in the form of credit plans or subscriptions.
• Credit plans allow members to recharge credits by making a payment, with credits being deducted upon service usage.
• Credits recharged by payment have no usage period (validity period). However, the following credits may be used for the period set in each item.
1. Credits recharged by credit or debit card or PayPal payment on or after 2026-11-06 (including auto top-up): 12 months from the recharge date. If the member recharges by card or PayPal again within this period, the usage period of the remaining card- or PayPal-recharged credits is also extended to 12 months from the latest recharge date.
2. Credits provided as a free trial and credits provided under an Individual Contract: the period announced when they were provided or the period set in that Individual Contract
• Credits are deducted starting from the earliest recharged credits. When the usage period in item 1 ends, credits not used within that period expire, and credits without a usage period remain.
• Subscriptions involve paying a usage fee on a monthly or annual basis and using the service for the contract period. Discount rates set by the Company may apply for long-term contracts (1-year, 2-year, 3-year).
• The service usage fee and payment method shall be subject to the pricing information posted on the Company's website or separate contract terms.
• In the event of service suspension due to member withdrawal or suspension of membership status, the member must pay the service usage fee used until the time of suspension on a pro-rata basis.
• The Company may exempt or discount service usage fees upon consultation with the member.
• The member is responsible for maintaining updated contact information, such as phone numbers, email addresses, and postal addresses, to receive service usage fee invoices. The member shall be liable for any default of service usage fee payment caused by the member's failure to fulfill this responsibility.
• Even after all paid credits have been used, the Member may use additional credits up to a limit announced by the Company on the Service website (currently 5,000 credits) ("Grace Credits"), during which the credit balance is shown below zero (negative). When the Grace Credit limit is reached, use of services that deduct credits, such as data collection, is suspended. Because credits are deducted after each collection run finishes, the balance may go slightly below the limit. Grace Credits do not apply to credits provided as a free trial or under an individual contract.
• If the Member tops up credits after using Grace Credits, the Grace Credits used (including any credits used below the limit) are deducted first from the credits topped up. The same applies if the term of the previous credit plan has ended.
• The Member may use a feature that automatically charges a registered payment method (credit or debit card) to top up credits ("Auto Top-up"), which is subject to the following:
1. Auto Top-up is used only when the Member registers a payment method, reviews the payment conditions and amount, and turns it on. If the Member does not turn it on, no automatic payment is made.
2. When the condition set by the Member is met (such as the credit balance falling below a level set by the Member), the amount needed to fill up to the credits set by the Member is charged to the registered payment method in the manner announced on the Company's service website (including the minimum payment amount and payment unit, VAT excluded), and the corresponding credits are topped up.
3. If a payment fails because the payment method is over its limit, suspended, or otherwise unavailable, the Company may retry the payment at the number of times and intervals set by the Company (currently up to 3 retries, made 1 hour, 6 hours, and 24 hours, respectively, after each preceding failure). If the payment still fails, the Company stops Auto Top-up and notifies the Member. The Company may also stop Auto Top-up if there is an error in payment processing, such as when the payment result cannot be confirmed.
4. The Company notifies the Member by the email address registered by the Member or other means when an Auto Top-up payment fails or Auto Top-up is stopped because the retried payments have also failed. Notifications of completed payments follow the notification settings the Member has chosen in the service.
5. The Member may turn off Auto Top-up or delete the registered payment method at any time on the service website, after which no new Auto Top-up payment is started. However, a payment already started before it was turned off or deleted may still be processed.
6. Refunds of credits topped up by Auto Top-up follow the credit plan refund rules in Article 16.
7. Auto Top-up may not be offered to Members who use the service under an individual contract, such as a subscription.
Article 13 (Objections to Service Usage Fees, Etc.)
• In cases where the member cannot make the service usage fee payment by the designated due date due to the Company's fault, the Company may handle it separately.
• The Company will refund the amount of service usage fee or other payments that have been excessively paid due to the Company's or the member's mistake, and may additionally charge the shortfall for the underpaid amount.
• If a member who needs a refund of the service usage fee due to overpayment or other reasons has an outstanding balance, the Company will deduct the outstanding amount from the refundable amount and then return it to the member.
• The claim for a refund of the service usage fee as per Paragraph 2 cannot be exercised if one year has passed from the occurrence date of the reason for the claim.
• If the member has objections to the service usage fee, the member may raise the objection, and in such a case, the Company and the member may agree to recalculate the fee and make the charge accordingly.
Article 14 (Responsibility for Collection Targets and Rights)
• The Company is responsible for operating the collection bots and collection facilities it provides in compliance with applicable laws.
• The member decides the collection targets, such as the sites, addresses, and search terms to be collected, and the purpose of using the Collected Data, and is responsible for complying with the terms of use of the target sites, copyright and the rights of database producers, personal information protection and other applicable laws, and the rights of third parties.
• Disputes and damages arising because a collection target set by the member, or the member's use of the Collected Data, violates the copyright, the rights of database producers, the terms of use, or similar of the target site are the responsibility of the member, and Article 20, Paragraph 2 applies mutatis mutandis.
• Notwithstanding Paragraph 3 and Article 22, the Company is responsible for damages caused by the Company's intent or gross negligence and for damages caused by the Company's failure to fulfill its responsibility under Paragraph 1.
• If the Company determines that a collection requested by the member is likely to infringe the rights of a third party or violate applicable laws, the Company may refuse or stop that collection after notifying the member of the reason.
Article 15 (Protection and Use of Personal Information)
• The Company strives to protect the members' personal information securely. Regarding the protection of members' personal information, the Company complies with relevant laws and the Company's Privacy Policy.
• Members may view their own personal information at any time and make corrections to it if necessary.
• If the information provided during membership registration changes, members must promptly update it to the most current information. The Company shall not be liable for any damages arising from the member's failure to update the information accurately.

• The Company will destroy all personal information of members who have withdrawn from the service, except for cases necessary for storing transaction information in accordance with related laws.
• Other detailed policies shall be in accordance with the Privacy Policy posted on the service website.
Article 16 (Refund Policy)
1) Credit Plan Refunds
• Refund requests must be made within 7 days of the payment date.
• The refund amount is calculated proportionally based on remaining credits: Refund Amount = (Remaining Credits ÷ Total Credits) × Payment Amount
• If credits are topped up while the balance is negative due to Grace Credits, the remaining credits are calculated after first deducting the Grace Credits used from the credits topped up, and the total credits are the credits purchased in that top-up (before deducting the Grace Credits). If the remaining credits are zero or less, there is no amount to refund.
• Remaining credits are calculated on the basis that the credits held before the payment were used first. Example: if you had 3,000 credits, topped up 10,000 credits for KRW 10,000 and then used 2,000 credits, those credits are treated as coming from the credits held before the payment, so KRW 10,000 is refunded and 1,000 credits remain. If you used 5,000 credits, 2,000 of them are treated as coming from this top-up, so KRW 8,000 is refunded.
• Refund amounts are calculated to the nearest cent.
• Credits provided for free, credits already used, credits provided through promotions, and credits obtained through fraudulent means are excluded from refunds.
• After a refund is processed, only the credits received from the refunded payment (including that payment's bonus credits) are forfeited; credits held before that payment remain.
2) Subscription Refunds and Cancellation
• Monthly subscriptions can be cancelled without penalty, and the service can be used from the cancellation date until the next billing date.
• In the case of early termination of a long-term contract (1 year or more), the applied discount will be cancelled, the regular monthly fee will be recalculated for the actual usage period, and the difference will be refunded.
3) Refund Process
• Refund requests can be made through email (help@hashscraper.com) or phone (+82-2-6952-1804).
• Credit card refunds are processed within 3-5 business days, and bank transfer refunds are processed within 1-2 business days.
