If the Company determines that a comment transmitted by a Purchasing User contains content contrary to public order and morals or content that falls under prohibited matters set forth in the Applicable Terms, the Company may stop transmission of the comment to the Owner or cancel the transmission. In such case, the Company will not refund the purchase price of the Hearts to the Purchasing User or compensate the number of Hearts used, and the Company assumes no liability in this regard.
  5. If a Purchasing User lawfully expresses support for content registered by an Owner using Hearts, the Purchasing User’s nickname and the number of Hearts used will be published on that content.
  6. Use of Hearts is solely an expression of support for content registered by an Owner and does not guarantee any reply or other preferential treatment from the Owner to the Purchasing User. Use of Hearts is not a service for remitting all or part of the amount paid by the Purchasing User to purchase Hearts to the Owner. Users should use Hearts after taking these matters into consideration.

Even in such case, the Company will not provide any refund. Users must acknowledge this in advance.
  5. If a User purchases multiple Prizes, the Owner may ship all Prizes together to the delivery address entered by the User unless the number of such Prizes reaches the number specified in advance by the Owner.
