Terms of Use
Helpful ground rules for using this independent Korea travel and culture guide.
Last updated: September 28, 2026
1. Scope
KoreaHype offers informational travel, shopping, food, beauty and culture content, saved-list tools and community features. Browsing the website means you may use these features subject to applicable law and these terms. These terms do not remove rights you have under mandatory consumer or privacy law.
2. Independent information — verify before you go
Lists, prices, rankings, schedules, travel guidance and place information may change. We aim to label sources and editorial choices clearly, but do not guarantee availability, completeness or real-time accuracy. Check official government, operator, venue or transport-provider pages for time-sensitive details such as entry rules, costs and opening hours. This website does not provide legal, medical or immigration advice.
3. Google Maps and external services
External maps, stores, media platforms, reservation sites and embedded services remain governed by their respective providers’ terms and privacy notices. A link or listing does not by itself mean KoreaHype endorses or is affiliated with that organization.
4. Community contributions
Please submit only material that is lawful, accurate to the best of your knowledge, and yours to share or used with permission. Do not post other people’s private information, confidential material, spam or misleading paid promotion. You retain ownership of your original submission; by voluntarily submitting it for publication, you give KoreaHype a non-exclusive permission to review, edit for clarity, display and distribute it on the website with reasonable attribution where provided. We may decline or remove submissions that violate these rules.
5. Site content and names
Original KoreaHype writing and design may be protected by intellectual-property law. Third-party names, logos, maps, photographs and data belong to their respective owners. Do not republish substantial original website material without permission unless the law allows it. Link to the original source instead.
6. Saved lists and availability
MY KOREA lists are generally stored in the browser on your device, so clearing storage or changing devices may remove them. Shared-list URLs contain the information you choose to share; share them only with people you intend to receive it. Web push delivery depends on browser/device permission and network availability.
7. Changes, issues and contact
We may update the website or these terms as its features evolve. We do not exclude liability where applicable law prohibits such exclusion. To report an error, copyright concern, misuse, or other issue, use Contact & Privacy Requests.
