Effective date: __ ________ 20__

Article 1 (Purpose)

These Terms set out the rights, obligations and responsibilities between Obliv Clinic Seoul Origin (the “Clinic”) and users, and other necessary matters, in connection with the online services provided on the website operated by the Clinic at oblivseoul.kr (the “Website”).

Article 2 (Definitions)

The terms used in these Terms are defined as follows.

  • “Website” means the virtual place of business the Clinic has established to provide services such as treatment guidance, medical information, consultation and appointment requests.
  • “User” means a person who accesses the Website and uses the services the Clinic provides under these Terms.
  • “Services” means all services provided through the Website, including treatment guidance, introductions to the medical team, treatment information, online consultation requests, appointment requests and directions.
  • “Content” means all information posted on the Website, including text, images, video, documents and designs.
  • “Operator” means Obliv & Partners, which performs the technical operation of the Website.

Article 3 (Posting and amendment of the Terms)

The Clinic posts these Terms on the Website so that users can review them easily. The Clinic may amend the Terms within the bounds of the relevant laws, and gives notice on the Website before amendments take effect.

Article 4 (Services)

The services the Clinic provides through the Website are as follows.

  • Introduction to the Clinic and its medical team
  • Information on departments and treatments
  • Online consultation requests
  • Appointment requests
  • Directions and clinic hours
  • Other services determined by the Clinic

Article 5 (Provision and changes to the Services)

In principle, the Clinic provides the Services 24 hours a day, year round. The Services may be suspended temporarily for technical or force-majeure reasons such as system maintenance, server expansion or replacement, network instability, power failure, natural disaster, national emergency, or administrative orders relating to infectious disease.

Article 6 (Obligations of the Clinic)

The Clinic does its best to provide the Services continuously and stably as required by the relevant laws and these Terms, and manages the medical information posted on the Website so that it complies with the medical advertising rules under Article 56 of the Medical Service Act.

Article 7 (Notice on medical information and medical advertising)

The medical information, treatment information and guidance posted on the Website are prepared for general information purposes and do not replace medical diagnosis or treatment for any individual patient. Treatment effects and results may vary with each person’s constitution, state of health and treatment area.

Article 8 (Obligations of users)

Users must not engage in conduct that breaches the relevant laws, including entering false information, interfering with the operation of the Services, copying, distributing, transmitting, publishing or broadcasting Content without permission, misusing another person’s personal information, defamation, posting information contrary to public order and morals, or using the Website for commercial gain without consent.

Article 9 (Restrictions on automated access and data collection)

(1) Except with the Clinic’s prior express permission or as allowed under this Article, using automated means such as bots, scripts or artificial-intelligence (AI) agents to navigate, crawl or scrape the Website, to collect or extract data, or to monitor the Website for changes through repeated look-ups is prohibited. This restriction applies even to personal or non-commercial use.

(2) Access to public pages by official crawlers and retrieval tools that search-engine and artificial-intelligence (AI) service providers operate directly or have formally commissioned is permitted. This includes access for search and indexing, for providing AI services, and for retrieving, summarising and citing information at a user’s request. Permitted access is not confined to providers or bot names that are expressly listed.

(3) The exception in paragraph (2) applies to official access whose operator and purpose can be identified. It does not permit impersonation of an official crawler, nor does it extend to automated collection or continuous-monitoring systems operated separately by a third party merely because they use that provider’s name or services.

(4) Ordinary manual browsing, and the standard web-browser functions and accessibility aids that assist it, are excluded from these restrictions. Automation tools and integrated services separately approved by the Clinic may be used within the approved purpose and scope.

(5) Permitted access must also respect the scope of what is public and any access restrictions, and must not circumvent authentication or security measures. The absence of a rule in robots.txt, or the mere fact that access is technically possible, does not make conduct prohibited by this Article permissible.

(6) Where the Clinic judges that a user has breached this Article or that there is a substantial risk of a breach, it may take the necessary technical and administrative measures without prior notice, such as blocking the access concerned, restricting IP addresses or restricting use of the Services. Where the Clinic suffers loss because of a breach of this Article, the user concerned must compensate that loss in accordance with the damages provisions of these Terms.

Article 10 (Intellectual property)

Copyright and intellectual-property rights in all Content posted on the Website belong to the Clinic or the original author. As a rule, users may not copy, distribute, transmit, publish, broadcast, adapt or edit the Website’s Content without the Clinic’s prior written consent.

Article 11 (Privacy)

The Clinic protects users’ personal information under the Personal Information Protection Act, the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilisation and Information Protection, the Medical Service Act and other relevant laws. The collection, use, provision and management of personal information are governed by the separate Privacy Policy.

Article 12 (Cookies and automatically collected information)

The Clinic may use cookies and web-analytics tools to provide users with individually tailored services. Users can refuse or delete cookies through their web-browser settings.

Article 13 (Disclaimer)

The Clinic is exempt from liability where it cannot provide the Services for reasons of force majeure such as natural disaster, war, suspension of service by a common carrier, or administrative orders due to infectious disease. The Clinic is also not liable for disruptions that are not caused by its intent or gross negligence, or that arise from causes attributable to the user.

Article 14 (Damages)

Where a user suffers loss in connection with use of the Services due to a cause attributable to the Clinic, the Clinic compensates that loss in accordance with the relevant laws. Where the Clinic suffers loss because a user has breached these Terms or the relevant laws, that user must compensate the loss.

Article 15 (Dispute resolution)

Disputes between the Clinic and users concerning use of the Services are, in principle, resolved amicably by mutual agreement. Where a dispute is not resolved, an application for mediation may be made to the relevant dispute-mediation body.

Article 16 (Governing law)

These Terms are interpreted and applied under the laws of the Republic of Korea.

Article 17 (Operating entity)

The Website is operated by the Clinic as the provider of the Services; its technical operation is carried out by the Operator (Obliv & Partners) under a business agreement with the Clinic. Responsibility for medical practice and the provision of medical information rests with the Clinic.
