1. Acceptance of these terms
Seoul Wellness & Local Guide is operated by Soye, a Seoul-based independent publisher. These terms apply to every visitor, whether you arrive from a search engine, a social platform or a link shared by someone else. If you use the site on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you may accept these terms for it.
2. Our content and intellectual property
Copyright © 2026 Seoul Wellness & Local Guide. All rights reserved.
All text, photographs, illustrations, tables, checklists, page design and other material on this site are owned by the publisher or used with permission, and are protected by the copyright and intellectual property laws of the Republic of Korea and international treaties. Individual photographs supplied by partners, brands or contributors remain the property of their owners and are used for identification and commentary.
3. What you may and may not do
You may read the site, print or save pages for your own personal, non-commercial use, quote a short excerpt with clear attribution and a working link to the original page, and share links freely on social media.
You may not:
- copy, republish, translate, frame, mirror or syndicate substantial parts of our content on another website, app, newsletter, book or paid product without written permission;
- use our content to train or fine-tune a commercial machine-learning model for resale without written permission;
- scrape the site in a way that burdens the service, bypasses access controls, or harvests email addresses or contact details;
- remove or alter copyright notices, author credits or disclosure statements;
- use our name, brand or author identity in a way that suggests endorsement, partnership or affiliation that does not exist;
- use the site for any unlawful purpose, or to distribute malware, spam or misleading material.
4. Comments and other contributions
If comments or other public features are open, you keep ownership of what you write, and you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to display, store, moderate and format it alongside the relevant page. You are responsible for your own contributions. We may edit, move or remove any contribution that is unlawful, defamatory, discriminatory, spammy, off-topic or that discloses another person’s private information, and we may close comments on any page.
5. Information, accuracy and no professional advice
We research carefully, check prices and opening hours as close to publication as possible, and date our pages. Even so, travel, beauty and running information changes quickly: fares, pass rules, salon and clinic prices, race dates, entry lotteries, opening hours, visa and tax-refund rules can change without notice, and an experience we describe may differ for you depending on the season, the branch, the staff member or your own circumstances.
The content is provided for general information only. It is not medical, dermatological, cosmetic-surgery, legal, financial, immigration or professional training advice, and it does not create a professional relationship of any kind. Always confirm current details with the official source — the venue, the clinic, the race organiser, the transport operator or the government office — before you rely on them, and consult a qualified professional for decisions about your health, body, money or legal status.
6. Third-party links, bookings and purchases
This site links to other websites, including booking platforms, shops, salons, clinics, race organisers and map services. Those sites are operated by other people and companies. We do not control them, we do not endorse everything on them, and we are not responsible for their content, products, services, prices, security practices, availability or customer service.
When you book or buy through a third-party site, your contract is with that site alone. Any question about payment, refunds, cancellations, changes, injury, allergic reaction or dissatisfaction with a service must be raised with the provider under its own terms. We are not a party to that contract and cannot issue refunds on a provider’s behalf.
7. Advertising and affiliate relationships
Parts of this site are funded by advertising and by affiliate commissions. We may earn a commission when you book or buy through some of our links, at no additional cost to you. This does not change the price you pay and does not buy a positive review: recommendations are written from our own experience and research, and a partner cannot pay to be described as better than it is. The full explanation is in our Affiliate Disclosure.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Seoul Wellness & Local Guide and its author are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, or for any loss of profit, data, enjoyment, time or opportunity, arising from your use of the site or your reliance on its content. This includes losses arising from missed transport, closed venues, changed prices, cancelled races, allergic reactions, injuries, or decisions made on the basis of information published here.
The site is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any information is complete or current. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including your mandatory consumer rights in your country of residence.
9. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the publisher from claims, damages, losses and reasonable legal costs arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of the site, or content you post here that infringes another person’s rights.
10. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the courts of Seoul have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory rules of your own country, and you may also bring a claim in your local courts where the law allows. Before starting a formal dispute, please write to syoon314@gmail.com; most issues are resolved in one email.
11. Changes to these terms
We may revise these terms to reflect changes in the site, its services or the law. The revised version takes effect when it is published on this page with an updated date. Your continued use of the site after that means you accept the revised terms.
If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Affiliate Disclosure, are the whole agreement between you and us about use of the site.
12. Contact
Questions about these terms, permission requests for reuse, and copyright complaints: syoon314@gmail.com. We answer within 24–48 hours, and we take copyright notices seriously: include the URL, the material concerned and evidence of your rights.
