By clicking "Sign Up," "Continue," or otherwise accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use our Services.

4.4 You represent that you have the lawful right to post such content and that doing so does not infringe any third-party rights.

4.5 We reserve the right to remove content alleged to violate law or these Terms and to terminate repeat infringers.

9. Disclaimers: Service Provided "As Is"

Keasy provides an online platform connecting users, professionals, and local businesses. We do not control, endorse, or guarantee any user-generated content, third-party services, externally sourced job listings, or communications.

Job listings. Some job listings shown in the Services are aggregated from third-party job boards and classifieds (Alba, Albamon, JobKorea, and Daangn) and link out to the original posting on the source site. Those listings are created and published by those third parties, not by Keasy. We do not verify, endorse, or guarantee any externally sourced job listing, employer, or hiring process, and any application you make on the source site is made directly with the third party under its own terms.

Third-party news content. Sections of the Services may display headlines, excerpts, and images from third-party news publishers, together with links to the original articles. This content belongs to its respective publishers and copyright holders, is provided for informational purposes only, and is not authored, verified, or endorsed by Keasy. We do not guarantee its accuracy, completeness, or timeliness, and we are not responsible for the content of linked publisher websites.

Your use of the Services is at your own risk.

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that:

Those sales are governed by our Marketplace Policy and our Refund & Return Policy.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for willful misconduct, gross negligence, or mandatory consumer rights under Korean law.
