Terms of Service
We added the procurement fee and, following the Korea Fair Trade Commission's standard terms and the E-Commerce Act, articles on order confirmation, time of supply, the Company's obligations and notices. These Terms were written by YouthOn from published standard terms and open-source policy documents; when a legal professional has reviewed them, the outcome will be recorded in the revision history.
These Terms establish the rights, obligations, and responsibilities between YouthOn (the “Company”) and organizations and their designated administrators using all services provided by the Company (the “Services”), including software procurement, Google Workspace provisioning and operations, quotations, and payments (collectively, “Users”).
Article 1 (Purpose and Definitions)
- These Terms govern the conditions and procedures for using the Services and define the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of the Company and Users.
- “User” means an organization using the Services under these Terms and an administrator designated by that organization.
- “Vendor” means a third party that develops or supplies software procured by the Company.
- “License” means the right to use software under conditions established by the Vendor.
- “Procurement” means the Company purchasing a license from a Vendor on behalf of a User and applying it to an account designated by the User.
Article 2 (Posting and Amendment of Terms)
- The Company posts these Terms so that they can be viewed from the initial service screen.
- The Company may amend these Terms within the scope permitted by applicable law.
- When amending the Terms, the Company will state the effective date and reason for amendment and post the changes at the top of this page beginning 7 days before the effective date. For changes that are materially disadvantageous to Users, notice will begin 30 days before the effective date and individual notice will also be sent to the email address registered by the User.
- If a User does not agree to the amended Terms, the User may terminate the service agreement before the effective date. If the User continues to use the Services without expressing refusal during the announced notice period, the User will be deemed to have agreed to the amended Terms.
Article 3 (Formation of the Service Agreement)
- A service agreement is formed when a User applies for organization registration or requests a quotation/purchase and the Company accepts the application.
- The Company may request organization verification (review of supporting documents) in order to apply special pricing for youth organizations. If supporting documents cannot be verified, the Company may refuse to apply such pricing.
- The Company may refuse an application or terminate the service agreement after acceptance in the following cases:
- False information was provided in the application
- Vendor policy makes supply to the organization impossible
- The purpose of use clearly violates applicable law or Vendor terms
Article 4 (Accounts and Security)
- Users are responsible for securely managing account information and login methods and are responsible for activity performed through their accounts.
- Impersonation, unauthorized automated access, and interference with the Services are prohibited.
- If account theft or information leakage is suspected, the User must notify the Company immediately, and the Company will provide guidance on necessary protective measures.
- At the User's request, the Company may move a license from one account to another. However, products with Vendor-defined transfer intervals or minimum holding periods are subject to those conditions.
Article 5 (Service Scope)
The Company provides the following Services:
- Procurement, provisioning, and application of software licenses to designated accounts
- Provisioning, migration, and operational support for workspaces such as Google Workspace
- Automatic issuance of transaction documents such as quotations
- Operational support for license assignment, revocation, and renewal
The Company provides guidance and support necessary to use the Services, but each Vendor is responsible for development and maintenance of the software itself.
Article 6 (Precedence of Vendor Terms)
- Software functionality, usage conditions, and restrictions are governed by the terms and policies of the relevant Vendor. By using the software, the User is considered to agree to the Vendor's terms.
- If a Vendor changes pricing, policy, or functionality, or discontinues a product, the Company will notify the User as soon as the change is confirmed and discuss alternatives.
- If Vendor policy changes make it impossible to maintain existing terms, the Company's responsibility is fulfilled by settling and refunding the amount corresponding to the remaining period.
- Prices displayed by the Company are estimated based on registered list prices. Actual supply prices are finalized at the quotation stage after confirming organization type, quantity, and availability.
Article 7 (Fees · Payment · Taxes)
- Usage fees follow the conditions stated in the quotation and are generally paid monthly.
- Payment is made by the method selected by the User: credit/debit card (including corporate cards), bank transfer, or deferred payment (supply first, settle later) .
- Card payments are processed through a payment gateway (PG) designated by the Company, and the Company does not directly store payment instrument information such as card numbers. Card payment is offered once the gateway integration is complete; until then orders are taken by bank transfer and deferred payment.
- Regardless of payment method, the Company informs the User of the next scheduled payment date and billing amount by email 7 days before the payment date . This information is also available at all times in My Page.
- Users may select auto-renewal per license. With auto-renewal, a renewal order is created and charged at the beginning of each billing cycle (automatic card charging is provided after payment-gateway integration), and Users may cancel it at any time before the next billing date.
- Unless otherwise stated, displayed prices are supply prices excluding VAT. VAT and other applicable taxes are added in accordance with applicable law.
- Software procurement carries a procurement fee. The fee is 10% of the software amount in the quotation, is shown as a separate line on the quotation, and is included in the subtotal. It does not apply to youth-organization operating items (base setup, workspace provisioning, ongoing management).
- If the fee rate changes, the Company gives advance notice under Article 2. Quotations already issued and periods already paid for keep the rate in force when they were issued.
- The Company issues expense documentation after payment is confirmed. Bank transfer and deferred payment receive tax invoices. For card payment, the credit-card sales receipt is valid expense documentation, so a duplicate tax invoice is not issued.
- Fee changes for existing Users are announced at least 30 days in advance. Changed fees are not applied retroactively to periods already paid for.
- For deferred payment, if the User does not pay by the agreed settlement date, the Company may suspend the Service or revoke licenses.
- If the card charge for auto-renewal fails because of an exceeded limit, expired card, or similar reason, the Company may notify the User, provide a 7-day grace period to change the payment method, and then restrict use of the Service.
Article 8 (Receipt and Confirmation of Orders)
- When a User places an order from a quotation, the Company makes the order details (items, quantity, term, payment method, amount) and the fact of receipt available on screen and in My Account.
- If the order does not match the User's intent, the User may request a change or cancellation before payment (or transfer), and the Company will act on the request without delay. After payment, the provisions on refunds and withdrawal apply.
- A quotation is valid for 30 days from issue. An expired quotation cannot be ordered and must be issued again.
- A quotation containing items whose unit price is not yet fixed ("on quotation") can be ordered only after the price is confirmed.
Article 9 (Time of Supply and Inability to Supply)
- For orders paid in advance, the Company takes the steps needed to issue licenses within 3 business days of receiving payment; for deferred-payment orders, within 7 days of receiving the order (Article 15 of the Act on the Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, Etc.).
- If issuance is delayed for reasons such as the Vendor's circumstances, the Company informs the User of the reason and the expected time without delay.
- If the Company learns that supply is not possible — for example because supply has been discontinued or eligibility is not met — it informs the User of the reason without delay and refunds any payment received, or takes the steps needed for a refund, within 3 business days of receiving it.
- The User decides how licenses are applied (existing email, organization SSO, or issued account) and to which accounts; the Company makes the result available in My Account.
Article 10 (Refunds and Withdrawal)
- Users may withdraw from a purchase in accordance with the Act on the Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, Etc.
- Withdrawal may be restricted where permitted by law, such as when a license has already been provisioned and use has begun, and the Company will disclose such restrictions in advance.
- Detailed refund standards and procedures follow the Refund & Cancellation Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
Article 11 (Termination and Usage Restrictions)
- Users may terminate the service agreement at any time through My Page → Cancellation · Refund Request or by contacting the administrator.
- Upon termination, use of licenses and accounts ends according to Vendor policy and the remaining term, and related data is destroyed after the statutory retention period.
- If a User violates applicable law or these Terms or interferes with service operations, the Company may restrict use or terminate the agreement after prior notice. In urgent cases, notice may be given after action is taken.
- Users must back up necessary data before termination. The Company supports data export for 30 days after termination.
Article 12 (Service Changes · Suspension)
- The Company may improve or change the content and functionality of the Services as required for operational or technical reasons.
- Material changes or service discontinuation will be announced at least 30 days in advance and notified to registered email addresses.
- Services may be temporarily suspended due to unavoidable circumstances such as maintenance, power outages, or telecommunications failures. Prior notice will be provided where possible, but in urgent cases notice may be given afterward.

Users must not:
- Provide false information when applying or making changes
