1. The Service

The Service allows you to reserve a private lounge space ("Lounge") by the hour. Reservations require a minimum of 4 hours and may extend past midnight into the following day. Access is unmanned: a door passcode is delivered automatically about 15 minutes before check-in via the channel you selected (app push, email, WhatsApp or SMS).

2. Accounts

• You must provide accurate name, email and mobile phone information. Phone numbers are verified with a one-time code.
• You may also sign in with Google or Apple. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure.
• The Service is not directed to children under 14. Guests under 19 may not use the Lounge without a legal guardian.

3. Reservations & Payment

• Prices are shown in Korean won (₩). Packages: 4 hours ₩55,000 · 5 hours ₩66,000 · each additional hour ₩16,500 (rates may change; the price shown at checkout applies).
• Payment is processed by our payment providers (PortOne/Eximbay for cards, PayPal). PayPal transactions are billed in USD at the rate shown at checkout; small differences may occur due to exchange rates.
• A reservation is confirmed only after payment is completed. You will receive a confirmation number (e.g. 202607070001).

5. Check-in, Door Passcode & House Rules

To the extent permitted by law, the Service is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, or for events beyond our reasonable control (natural disasters, utility or network outages, actions of third parties). Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Korean law, including our liability for intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

7. Changes

We may update the Service or these Terms. Material changes will be announced on the site at least 7 days in advance (30 days for changes disadvantageous to members). Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

8. Governing Law & Language
