Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Founders Offer Terms of Use

Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON App and Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Website are services provided by WEBTOON Entertainment Inc., with principal office at 222 N. Pacific Coast Highway, Suite 2300, El Segundo, CA 90245, United States (including its affiliates, hereinafter together referred to as “WEBTOON,” “us,” or “we”), and include content WEBTOON licensed from Disney Enterprises, Inc. or an affiliate thereof (Disney Enterprises, Inc. and its affiliates, hereinafter together referred to as “Disney”). MARVEL and associated marks are used under license by WEBTOON. WEBTOON and associated marks are trademarks of WEBTOON Entertainment Inc. or its affiliates. These Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Founders Offer Terms of Use is a contract between you and WEBTOON, and no other third party.

The Founders Offer is made available before the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Services has launched and before you have created a WEBTOON ACCOUNT. When you redeem your Pre-Order Code, you will be asked to create or sign in to a WEBTOON ACCOUNT and to agree to the WEBTOON ACCOUNT Terms of Use and the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Terms of Use. For clarity, this Agreement governs your Founders Offer purchase and your Pre-Order Code before redemption; starting from the time you redeem your Pre-Order Code, the WEBTOON ACCOUNT Terms of Use and the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Terms of Use — not this Agreement — govern your Subscription and your use of the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Services, as described in Section 8 below.

For your reference, current versions of the WEBTOON ACCOUNT Terms of Use and the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Terms of Use are linked within this Agreement and/or on the Founders Offer purchase page. WEBTOON may update the WEBTOON ACCOUNT Terms of Use and/or the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Terms of Use, and the versions of those terms that actually apply to your WEBTOON ACCOUNT and your Subscription are the versions in effect at the time you redeem your Pre-Order Code — not necessarily the versions linked or available at the time of your Founders Offer purchase.

SECTION 14 CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER CLAUSE. UNLESS OTHERWISE PROHIBITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SECTION 14 AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS ON HOW DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND WEBTOON WILL BE HANDLED. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY.

1. Acceptance of These Terms of Use.

By purchasing your Pre-Order Code, or by otherwise completing your Founders Offer purchase, you agree to these Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Founders Offer Terms of Use (the “Agreement”) and you acknowledge that you have read and understand our Teaser Website Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, disclose, and process your personal information in connection with the Founders Offer. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between WEBTOON and you with regards to the Founders Offer and your Pre-Order Code, subject to Section 8 below. If you do not agree to this Agreement, you may not participate in the Founders Offer.

If you are completing a Founders Offer purchase on behalf of another person or entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that person or entity to this Agreement, and “you” or “your” in this Agreement includes such other person or entity.

2. Changes to These Terms of Use.

WEBTOON may make changes to this Agreement from time to time by posting an updated version on the Founders Offer purchase page. We will attempt to notify you of any changes that materially affect your rights through various means, including, without limitation, (before they take effect) by email, by posting a notice on the Founders Offer purchase page, or by updating the date at the top of this Agreement, as required by law. No change to this Agreement will reduce the refund rights described in Section 6 with respect to a Pre-Order Code you have already purchased, except as required by law.

The effective date at the top of this document indicates when the terms to this Agreement were last changed.

4. The Founders Offer.

1. Eligibility. To participate in the Founders Offer, you must be at least eighteen (18) years old (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction of residence, if higher) (the “Minimum Age”). By completing a Founders Offer purchase, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. We may cancel your Founders Offer purchase and refund your payment if it comes to our attention that this representation is not correct.
2. What You Are Purchasing. During the Founders Offer, you are purchasing a Pre-Order Code only — you are not purchasing an active Subscription. You will not have access to the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Services or any digital content provided on the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Services until you redeem your Pre-Order Code in accordance with Section 4(d).
3. Introductory Price; Auto-Renewal. You will be charged the Introductory Price in full at the time you complete your Founders Offer purchase, as described in Section 5. There is no additional charge when you later redeem your Pre-Order Code and start your Subscription. Your Subscription does not start on the date you complete your Founders Offer purchase; it starts on the date you redeem your Pre-Order Code, and your Subscription will renew automatically each year starting one year from that date at the then-current standard annual price (the current amount of which will be listed on the Founders Offer purchase page) until you cancel. You may cancel your Subscription at any time after you have signed up via the Subscription Management function, accessible by signing in to your account on the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Website. Cancellation will be effective at the end of the then-current billing period. The terms of your Subscription, how it renews, how you can cancel and when the price may change are described in the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Terms of Use.
4. Redemption. Your Pre-Order Code may be redeemed only on the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Website; it is not redeemable through the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON App. Once your Subscription is active, you may access the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Services through both the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Website and the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON App. To redeem your Pre-Order Code, you must create or sign in to a WEBTOON ACCOUNT, agree to the WEBTOON ACCOUNT Terms of Use and the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Terms of Use, and complete a new subscription checkout. As part of that checkout, you will be prompted to enter payment information for your Subscription, and WEBTOON will use that payment information to charge you for automatic renewals of your Subscription as described in Section 4(c), beginning with the second year of your Subscription. There is no charge at the time of redemption itself, and the payment method you provide at redemption does not need to be the same payment method you used for your Founders Offer purchase. The email address you used to complete your Founders Offer purchase does not need to match the email address associated with the WEBTOON ACCOUNT you use to redeem your Pre-Order Code. You are responsible for keeping your Pre-Order Code safe. WEBTOON is not responsible for a Pre-Order Code that is lost, shared, or redeemed by someone other than you. Pre-Order Codes are for personal use and may be given to another person as a gift, but may not be resold, auctioned, or exchanged for anything of value, and WEBTOON may refuse to honor a code that was transferred in this way.
5. Redemption Restrictions. Your Pre-Order Code cannot be applied to an existing subscription to the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Services, and only one subscription may be active on your account at a time. If you already have an active subscription to the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Services and want to redeem your Pre-Order Code on that account, you must first cancel your current subscription (cancellation of which will take effect at the end of your current billing period), and you may redeem your Pre-Order Code as a new Subscription. Alternatively, you may redeem your Pre-Order Code under another account that does not already have an active subscription to the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Services. Any Pre-Order Codes that are not redeemed by the Redemption Deadline due to these restrictions will be handled as described in Section 6(b).
6. Redemption Window. Your Pre-Order Code becomes redeemable on the date the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Services launches. We will notify you by email when the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Services launches and your Pre-Order Code becomes redeemable. You must redeem your Pre-Order Code by the Redemption Deadline; Pre-Order Codes cannot be redeemed after that date, and unredeemed Pre-Order Codes will be handled as described in Section 6(b).
7. Purchase Limit. You may purchase only one (1) Pre-Order Code. As described in Section 4(e), only one Subscription may be active on a given WEBTOON ACCOUNT at a time. If you purchase more than one Pre-Order Code and want more than one Subscription to be active during the same period, each additional Pre-Order Code must be redeemed on a separate WEBTOON ACCOUNT.

5. Payment and Billing.

You hereby agree to pay the Introductory Price, and any applicable taxes, at the time you complete your Founders Offer purchase. You acknowledge and agree that WEBTOON may use third-party payment processors to process payments on WEBTOON’s behalf. You agree to keep your payment information accurate and up to date. Your participation in the Founders Offer is conditional on WEBTOON’s receipt of payment.

As described in Section 4(d), you will separately provide payment information for your ongoing Subscription when you redeem your Pre-Order Code. That payment information — which does not need to be the same as the payment method you used for your Founders Offer purchase — will be used to charge you for automatic renewals of your Subscription.

6. Refunds and Cancellation.

1. Refund on Request. You may cancel your Founders Offer purchase and request a refund of the Introductory Price at any time before you redeem your Pre-Order Code, by contacting Customer Support. Once WEBTOON processes your refund, your Pre-Order Code will be canceled and can no longer be redeemed. Refund requests will generally be processed within 30 business days.
2. Automatic Refund at Expiration. If you do not redeem your Pre-Order Code by the Redemption Deadline, your Pre-Order Code will expire automatically, and WEBTOON will refund the Introductory Price you paid to the payment method you used for your Founders Offer purchase. If we are unable to process your refund to that payment method, we will contact you at the email address you provided to arrange an alternative method. Refunds will generally be processed within 30 business days.
3. Refund Rights After Redemption. Once you redeem your Pre-Order Code and your Subscription begins, this Section 6 no longer applies, and your Subscription — including all cancellation and refund matters — is thereafter governed exclusively by the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Terms of Use then in effect.

7. Promotional Nature of the Founders Offer.

The Founders Offer is a limited-time promotion. WEBTOON reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Founders Offer at any time and without liability, provided that no such change will affect a Pre-Order Code you have already purchased other than as described in Section 6. If WEBTOON does not launch the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Services, or discontinues the Founders Offer such that your Pre-Order Code can no longer be redeemed, WEBTOON will refund the Introductory Price you paid.

8. Transition to the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Terms.

This Agreement governs only your Founders Offer purchase and your Pre-Order Code before redemption. Once you redeem your Pre-Order Code, your WEBTOON ACCOUNT, your Subscription, and your use of the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Services are governed by the WEBTOON ACCOUNT Terms of Use and the Marvel Comics Powered by WEBTOON Terms of Use then in effect. Sections 6(c) and 9 through 15 of this Agreement will survive redemption and will continue to apply solely with respect to claims or disputes arising out of your Founders Offer purchase.

9. Privacy.

WEBTOON’s collection, use, disclosure, and processing of the email address and pre-order information you provide during the Founders Offer is described in our Teaser Website Privacy Policy. By completing your Founders Offer purchase, you acknowledge that you have reviewed and acknowledge the practices described there.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties.

YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE FOUNDERS OFFER IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY WEBTOON OR ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF WEBTOON CREATES A WARRANTY, AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, THE FOUNDERS OFFER IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS, WEBTOON, ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. WEBTOON MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE MARVEL COMICS POWERED BY WEBTOON SERVICES WILL LAUNCH ON ANY PARTICULAR DATE, OR AT ALL. THE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THE MARVEL COMICS POWERED BY WEBTOON TERMS OF USE WILL APPLY TO THE MARVEL COMICS POWERED BY WEBTOON SERVICES THEMSELVES ONCE YOU REDEEM YOUR PRE-ORDER CODE. SOME JURISDICTIONS PROHIBIT THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES. IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS, SOME OR ALL PARTS OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH CASES, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED TO GIVE EFFECT TO THE MAXIMUM DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS PERMITTED.

11. Limitation of Liability.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WEBTOON AND ITS LICENSORS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DISNEY) AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, AGGRAVATED, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR FOR BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, INDEMNITY, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE FOUNDERS OFFER OR THIS AGREEMENT, ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, SAVINGS, DATA, GOODWILL OR REPUTATION, EVEN IF WEBTOON HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING AND EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WEBTOON’S AND ITS AFFILIATES’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID HEREUNDER. THE LAWS OF CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SUCH AS INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS. YOU AGREE THAT THE REMAINING PORTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT REMAIN VALID AND ENFORCEABLE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

12. Indemnification.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless WEBTOON, its affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, agents, partners, employees, and licensors from and against any losses, liabilities, claims, causes of action, demands, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation, whether before or after assertion of a formal claim, and reasonable litigation expenses) arising out of or relating to (a) your participation in the Founders Offer, (b) your violation of this Agreement, or (c) your violation of any applicable law or regulation. WEBTOON retains the right to participate in, or assume exclusive defense and control of, any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and you may not settle any such claim without WEBTOON’s prior written consent.

13. Governing Law; Disputes.

1. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. Nothing in this section limits any mandatory rights you may have under the laws of your country or state of residence. The statutory provisions restricting the choice of law and the applicability of mandatory provisions, in particular of the state or jurisdiction in which the customer has his habitual residence as a consumer, shall remain unaffected.
2. You agree that any legal suit, cause of action or proceeding that may arise out of, or related to this Agreement that is not resolved by binding arbitration as provided in Section 14 shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of California, in each case located in the City of Los Angeles and County of Los Angeles, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of this Agreement in your country of residence or any other relevant country. You waive any and all objections to exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

14. Arbitration, Class Action Waiver, and Injunctions.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. UNLESS OTHERWISE PROHIBITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, BY AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO LITIGATE DISPUTES THROUGH A COURT AND TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE YOUR CASE.

In order to expedite and control the cost of disputes, WEBTOON and you agree that any legal or equitable claim, dispute, action, or proceeding arising from or related to the Founders Offer or this Agreement (a “Dispute”) will be resolved as follows to the fullest extent permitted by law:

1. Notice of Dispute. In the event of a Dispute, you or WEBTOON must give the other a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and a proposed solution (a “Notice of Dispute”). You must send any Notice of Dispute by registered mail to WEBTOON at 222 N. Pacific Coast Highway, Suite 2300, El Segundo, CA 90245, Attention: Legal Department and also via e-mail to [email protected]. WEBTOON will send any Notice of Dispute to you by e-mail or registered mail to your address if WEBTOON has it. You and WEBTOON will attempt to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the Notice of Dispute is sent. After sixty (60) days, you or WEBTOON may commence arbitration. An arbitrator will decide any disputes over whether this subsection has been violated, and has the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations. Unless prohibited by applicable law, the arbitrator shall not administer any arbitration unless the requirements of this subsection have been met.
2. Mediation, Binding Arbitration and Governing Law. You and WEBTOON shall endeavor to settle any Dispute by mediation under the Mediation Rules of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”). The place of mediation shall be Los Angeles, California. Any Dispute which has not been resolved by mediation within thirty (30) days after appointment of a mediator, or such other time period as you and WEBTOON may agree, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration as described in this Section 14. You are giving up the right to litigate (or participate in as a party or class member) all Disputes in court before a judge or jury; instead, all Disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator shall decide all issues pertaining to arbitrability, including the arbitrator’s own jurisdiction and the validity and enforceability of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this is not meant to reduce any powers granted to the arbitrator under the applicable JAMS rules. The place of arbitration shall be Los Angeles, California. Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s award.
3. Class Action Waiver. Any proceeding to resolve or litigate any Dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither you nor WEBTOON will seek to have any Dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity, and no arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings. Class actions and class arbitrations are not permitted; for example, you may bring a claim only on your own behalf and cannot seek relief that would affect other users of the Services. Nor may an arbitrator consolidate arbitrations unless all parties agree. If there is a final judicial determination that the limitations of this paragraph are unenforceable as to a particular claim or a particular request for relief (such as a request for injunctive relief), then the parties agree that such a claim or request for relief shall be decided by a court after all other claims and requests for relief are arbitrated. If this class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then this section will not apply to those parts.
4. Mass Arbitrations. If 25 or more claimants submit similar Notices of Dispute or file similar arbitrations and are represented by the same or coordinated counsel, all of the cases must be resolved in arbitration in stages using staged bellwether proceedings. You agree to do this even though the resolution of some claims might be delayed. In the first stage, the parties shall select up to 10 cases to be filed in arbitration and resolved by separate arbitrators. In the meantime, no other cases may be filed in arbitration. Nor may the arbitration provider accept, administer or demand payment for fees for other arbitrations. If the remaining cases are not settled after the first stage is done, the parties will repeat the process. These staged bellwether proceedings will continue until all cases are resolved. If this subsection applies to a Notice of Dispute, any statute of limitations applicable to the listed claims will be tolled from the time the first cases are selected for bellwether proceedings until the claimant’s Notice of Dispute is selected for a bellwether proceeding or otherwise resolved. A court will have the authority to enforce this subsection, including the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations or assessment of related fees.
5. Arbitration Procedures. Any arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”) in effect at the time the Dispute is filed. You may request a telephonic or in-person hearing by following the JAMS Rules. In a dispute involving $10,000 or less, any hearing will be telephonic unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. To the extent the forum provided by JAMS is unavailable, WEBTOON and you agree to select a mutually agreeable alternative dispute resolution service and that such alternative dispute resolution service shall apply the JAMS Rules. The arbitrator may award the same damages to you individually as a court could. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only to you individually, and only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim.
6. Arbitration Fees. Whoever files the arbitration pays the initial filing fee. If WEBTOON files, then WEBTOON will pay; if you file, then you will pay unless you get a fee waiver under the applicable arbitration rules. Each party will bear the expense of that party’s attorneys, experts, and witnesses, and other expenses, regardless of which party prevails, but a party may recover any or all expenses (including attorney’s fees) from another party if the arbitrator, applying applicable law, so determines.
7. Filing Period. To the extent permitted by law, any Dispute under this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year in an arbitration proceeding. The one-year period begins on the earliest date when any of the alleged claims first accrue, regardless of whether additional damages occur after such claims first accrue. If a Dispute is not filed within one year, it is permanently barred.
8. Opt-Out. You can opt out of arbitration within 30 days of the date that you first agreed to this Agreement (including any earlier version). If you have previously agreed to arbitration, then you may opt out of any future revisions to the arbitration provision within 30 days of receiving notice of the updated arbitration provision, in which case the prior version of the arbitration shall apply. To opt out of arbitration (or revisions to this arbitration provision), you must send your email address you used to complete your Founders Offer purchase and the Pre-Order Code number, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement (or of the revisions to it), and you must send them here: [email protected].
9. WEBTOON AFFILIATES, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUBCONTRACTORS ARE INTENDED AS THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF THE ARBITRATION CLAUSES IN THIS SECTION 14.
10. Injunctions. You acknowledge that any breach, threatened or actual, of this Agreement may cause irreparable harm to WEBTOON, such harm may not be quantifiable in monetary damages, and WEBTOON may not have an adequate remedy at law. You agree that WEBTOON shall be entitled, in addition to other available remedies, to seek and be awarded an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction anywhere in the world restraining any breach, threatened or actual, of your obligations under any provision of this Agreement, and without the necessity of showing or proving any actual or threatened damage or harm, notwithstanding any rule of law or equity to the contrary. You hereby waive any requirement that WEBTOON post any bond or other security in the event any injunctive or equitable relief is sought by or awarded to WEBTOON to enforce any provision of this Agreement.

15. Complete Agreement; Severability; Assignability.

This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and WEBTOON regarding the Founders Offer and your Pre-Order Code, and supersedes all prior understandings regarding that subject matter, subject to Section 8 above.

If any term or condition of this Agreement is deemed invalid, void, or unenforceable for any reason, that part will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms.

This Agreement is between you and WEBTOON; no other person has any right to enforce any of its terms. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under this Agreement to anyone else without WEBTOON’s written permission. WEBTOON may freely assign or transfer its rights and obligations to a parent, affiliated, or subsidiary company, or in a reorganization or merger/acquisition.
