2. When changing these Terms, the Company shall notify hosts in advance of the content of the revised Terms and the effective date by posting on the Service website or by other means the Company deems appropriate.

If the Company determines that any space information registered or entered by the host does not meet the Service’s listing criteria or is otherwise inappropriate, the Company may notify the host of the reason and request correction or deletion. Unless there is a rational reason, the host shall promptly comply. If the Company reasonably determines from photos or descriptions that information is clearly inappropriate, it may add, modify, or delete such content after notification.
3. If the Company determines it necessary to optimize display of “Usage Purpose” or “Facility Type” to reflect actual conditions, it may do so without prior notice.
4. If the Company reasonably determines that a host has not accessed the management screen for a certain period or that the host’s operation structure is inadequate, it may edit, unpublish, or suspend the listing without prior notice.

Article 7: Formation of Individual Contracts

1. When providing space information, hosts shall clearly state the terms of use, including cancellation policy, usage fees, available hours, facility equipment, and any religious accommodations. If additional taxes (e.g., lodging tax) apply, hosts must clearly state so. Hosts shall also provide accurate information regarding suitability for worship (quiet and clean environment), availability of prayer mats or cleaning supplies, separate facilities for men and women, and any other religious considerations.
2. An individual contract between a Guest and a host is formed when the host indicates acceptance of a reservation request via the management screen. If “Instant Booking” is enabled, the contract is formed when the Guest submits a request having understood the terms. Such contract includes both the matters set out in the Guest Terms and any additional terms disclosed by the host in advance. After contract formation, terms cannot be changed without the Guest’s clear consent, and the host may not set automatic acceptance by imposing a deadline.
3. If a Guest contacts a host via the “Contact” function and the host processes that communication as a reservation request and payment is completed, an individual contract is likewise formed at the time of payment completion.
4. Hosts must immediately suspend use or terminate the individual contract upon the Company’s request if any of the following apply:
   (1). The Guest causes nuisance to other users, host personnel, neighbors, or facility managers
   (2). The Guest subleases the space without prior consent
   (3). The Company deems the Guest’s conduct inappropriate for public order or safety
   (4). The Guest brings or uses items that exceed common sense (e.g., firearms, extremely loud equipment)
   (5). A government or facility authority orders suspension of use

   (11). The space’s local regulations or facility rules are violated
   (12). Other conduct the Company reasonably deems socially inappropriate or contrary to the Service’s purpose
5. After contract formation, hosts must provide clear guidance on key handover, entry procedures, equipment use, safety instructions, and, considering worship purposes, religious accommodations (e.g., prayer mat location, water usage). If the Company reasonably determines that inadequate guidance or response by the host has significantly hindered use, the Company may refund the full usage fee to the Guest without regard to the host’s intentions. The Company bears no liability for any loss or profit the host suffers due to such refund.
6. If a host’s failure to fulfill the above results in Guest damages, the host shall compensate the Guest. Such damages may include inconvenience from inability to use during the reserved time, transportation costs, alternative facility costs, or mental distress from lack of worship environment.
7. Hosts must supervise Guests to prevent nuisance or interference with neighbors or surrounding facilities, maintaining a quiet environment suitable for worship, preventing public or common‐area obstruction, and controlling noise. If a host fails this duty and the Company faces complaints, claims, or administrative action, the host shall indemnify the Company for all costs incurred.
8. If a host breaches supervisory duties or otherwise conducts acts making the listing socially inappropriate, the Company may remove the space information from the Service. The Company shall not be liable for any loss of booking opportunities, revenue decline, or reputational damage suffered by the host.
9. If the Company deems that a host repeatedly fails to respond to reservation requests, making contract formation and performance impractical, the Company may, after notice, suspend or remove the host’s listings at its discretion.
10. If the host meets the Company’s conditions for reinstatement, the Company may relist the space.
11. If the Company deems that a host’s inadequate conduct negatively affects the reliability of the worship‐oriented Service, it may take corrective measures at its discretion.

Hosts shall pay the Company a host service fee equal to 30% of the space usage fees (excluding consumption tax) collected from Guests under individual contracts, plus the corresponding consumption tax, by the method specified by the Company. When Guests pay by credit card, the host service fee is calculated on the pre-fee-deduction total usage fee, and the Company bears the card processing fee. The host service fee includes:
   (1). Cancellation fees received by the host under the cancellation policy in Article 9
   (2). Additional usage fees, penalties, or damages charged by the host for extended use, unauthorized use, or late departure (excluding actual damages for breakage of furniture or equipment)

Article 10: Management of Passwords and Host IDs

1. Hosts are solely responsible for managing and safeguarding their passwords and Host IDs and must not allow third parties to use, lend, transfer, assign, or sell them.
