11. Use of Content

The Company grants Users a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable right to use the In-Service Content provided by the Company solely for the purpose of using the Service.
If a User uses In-Service Content for which separate conditions such as usage fees or periods of use are established, the User shall comply with those conditions.

Among Paid Content purchased by Users, the period of use for paid content indicated as permanent and paid content for which no period of use is indicated shall continue only until normal provision of services relating to the game ends, and such usage rights may be lost when the Service ends.

12. Management of User Content

Users are responsible for creating backups of their own User Content. The Company has no obligation to store User Content.
Any loss or liability arising from a User's User Content shall be borne by that User, and the Company bears no responsibility in any case.
If the Company determines that a User's User Content violates these Terms, operation policies, laws, or regulations, the Company may, without prior notice to the User, delete the content, move it, reject posting of it, or take similar measures, and may also take measures such as restricting the User's use of the Service or terminating the usage agreement.

In-game Currency displayed as a prepaid payment instrument on the separate page in the Service titled "Display Based on the Payment Services Act" shall be handled as a prepaid payment instrument under the Payment Services Act. Other content purchased using such prepaid payment instrument shall be deemed to have been provided as goods or services upon acquisition and shall not constitute a prepaid payment instrument.
In-game Currency cannot be exchanged for cash, property, or any other economic benefit other than the services or content designated by the Company. The amount of In-game Currency required for exchange into services or content and other conditions of use shall be determined by the Company and displayed in the Service.

In-game Currency may be used only with the Account used by the User at the time of purchase and may not be assigned or transferred to another Account. In-game Currency provided on communication devices using different operating systems is treated as a different type of currency even if it has the same name, and therefore cannot be inherited or combined.
This game may allow common use of in-game content in connection with applications downloaded on other platforms. However, this does not apply to paid portions of In-game Currency that constitute prepaid payment instruments.
If In-game Currency constitutes a prepaid payment instrument pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the paid portion of that In-game Currency shall be consumed first.
