Terms of Use
By using OPDADA Korea Guide ("the site"), available at korea.opdada.com, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.
1. What this site is
This site publishes free travel and living guides about South Korea, together with a small number of calculators and lookup tools. It is operated by an individual, not by a government body, travel agency, or licensed professional service. There is no account, no login, and no paid membership.
2. Information is general, not advice
Everything here is general information. It is not legal, immigration, medical, tax, or financial advice, and it is not a substitute for consulting a qualified professional or the relevant Korean authority.
Prices, fares, opening hours, visa rules, and government programmes in Korea change often. We write from public sources at the time of writing and correct things when we learn they are wrong, but we cannot guarantee that any page is current, complete, or accurate. Verify anything that matters — especially anything involving money, travel bookings, health, or legal status — with the official source before you rely on it.
Calculators and converters on this site produce estimates for convenience only. They are not quotes, and they carry no guarantee of accuracy.
3. Affiliate links
This site currently carries no affiliate links. Outbound links are ordinary links and we earn nothing from them.
If that changes, we will say so here, mark each affiliate link as sponsored where it appears, and update these terms. Any commission would come from the merchant and would never change the price you pay or what we recommend.
4. Advertising
This site is supported by advertising served through Google AdSense. Google and other third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. See our Privacy Policy for details and for how to opt out of personalised advertising.
We do not control which specific ads are shown, and displaying an ad is not an endorsement of the advertiser.
5. Third-party sites
We link to external websites — government portals, transport operators, booking partners, and others. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, their availability, or their handling of your data. Their own terms and privacy policies apply once you leave this site.
6. Acceptable use
Please do not attempt to disrupt the site, scrape it at a scale that degrades service for others, or use it for anything unlawful.
7. Content and copyright
Text, layout, and original images on this site belong to the operator unless stated otherwise. You are welcome to quote a short passage with a link back. Please do not republish whole pages or reproduce the site's content in bulk without permission.
If you believe something here infringes your rights, contact us and we will look into it promptly.
8. Liability
The site is provided "as is". To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of the site or from reliance on information published here. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
9. Changes
We may update these terms. The "last updated" date above shows when they last changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
10. Governing law
This site is operated from the Republic of Korea. These terms, and any dispute arising from your use of the site, are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, and the courts of the Republic of Korea have jurisdiction, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
If you use the site as a consumer resident in another country, this does not deprive you of the protection given to you by mandatory consumer-protection rules of the country where you live.
11. Contact
Questions about these terms? Please use the contact page, or email [email protected]. We usually reply within 1–3 business days.
