By agreeing with the WEBZEN Policy, you represent that you are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of applicable jurisdictions. You also represent that if you are under the age of 18 your legal guardian has reviewed and expressly agrees to the Terms of Service on your behalf.
WEBZEN may amend, at our discretion, any portion of the WEBZEN Policy at any time by posting or displaying the amended WEBZEN Policy within and/or on the Games, or any of the Websites.
