Article 6 (What the Service provides)
(1) The Company provides the following.
- 1.Inspection: checks uploaded content against the destination country and marketplace you choose, across spec, expression, rights, required information and quality, and returns a score, a verdict, and for each finding its evidence, severity and suggested fix.
- 2.Automatic fixing: for findings you approve, applies aspect-ratio correction, background handling, format conversion, compression, metadata stripping, replacement of prohibited wording and insertion of required information.
- 3.Re-inspection: inspects the fixed result again as a new round so you can confirm the improvement.
- 4.Outputs: lets you download the inspection report and the final images and text.
- 5.API: lets you create inspections, read results, apply fixes, re-inspect and download outputs with an organization API key. Detailed conditions are set out in the separate API Terms.
- 6.Usage and access management: lets you manage monthly usage, member roles and API keys for your organization.
(2) The inspection engine is rule-based, enriched where useful by generative AI (Google Gemini). Whether AI enrichment ran is shown on the result screen and in the API response.
(3) The Company may change inspection rules and the composition of the Service as marketplace rules change or as the product improves. Completed inspections are preserved as results produced under the rules in force at that time.
(4) The Service is intended to be available 24 hours a day, all year round, except where Article 14 applies.

(2) Prices and per-unit rates for paid plans follow {{유료요금표}}. The Company will publish the price table in the Service and give notice under Article 3(3) before any paid billing begins.
(3) Once the free allowance is used up, further inspection requests in that month may be refused. API calls beyond the allowance return an error code.

Article 19 (Notices to users)
(1) The Company notifies you at the email address you registered.
