This is a machine translation. If it differs from the original, the original prevails.

These "Terms of Legal Guardian Consent and Assumption of Responsibility for Tournament Participation" (hereinafter "these Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement entered into between the parent or legal guardian (hereinafter "Legal Guardian") of a minor user of the STEPIN service (hereinafter "Service") (meaning a minor under the laws of the user's country of residence, and in the case of the Republic of Korea, a person under the age of 19; hereinafter "Minor") and Sidewalk Entertainment Inc. (hereinafter "Company").

These Terms set forth the Legal Guardian's consent and responsibility with respect to the Minor's participation in the Company's Service and in technology-based tournaments within the Service in which payment of an entry fee or acquisition of cash, prizes, or in-game currency is possible (hereinafter "Tournament").

By completing the Legal Guardian Verification Procedure (VPC) established by the Company, such as mobile phone identity verification or i-PIN authentication, and agreeing to these Terms, the Legal Guardian represents that he or she is the lawful legal guardian of the Minor and has the legal authority to enter into all provisions of these Terms on behalf of himself/herself and the Minor.
