Last updated: April 10, 2026

These terms cover your use of soundedfun.dev and its subdomains: koreaeats.soundedfun.dev, charim.soundedfun.dev, and wallpaper.soundedfun.dev. By accessing or using any of these sites, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the sites.

1. About the Site

soundedfun.dev is a collection of free tools and guides about Korean food, travel, and culture, built and maintained by a single developer based in Seoul. Content comes from public data sources (for example, Google Maps for restaurant metadata), original photography, established Korean cooking references, and brewery records. No accounts or subscriptions are required to use any part of the site.

2. Permitted Use

You may use the site for personal, non-commercial purposes without restriction. Specifically:

3. Prohibited Use

The following uses are not permitted without prior written permission:

4. Accuracy of Information

Restaurant data (ratings, review counts, addresses, hours) is pulled from Google Maps in periodic batches and may not reflect real-time values. Business hours, phone numbers, and closures can change at any time without notice. Always verify current information with Google Maps or directly with the restaurant before visiting. The same applies to recipe details on Charim: the published values are the best available at the time of the latest update, not guaranteed current facts.

5. Intellectual Property

The scoring system, editorial selection, site design, original photography, and adapted recipe text are the work of soundedfun.dev and are protected by copyright. Restaurant metadata is sourced from Google Maps and remains subject to Google's own terms of service.

Pages on the site may contain links to external resources such as Google Maps, brewery websites, Shutterstock listings, and affiliate programs (for example, Coupang Partners for cooking ingredients on Charim). These external sites are not controlled by soundedfun.dev, and we are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or availability. Affiliate links are disclosed with a "sponsored" link relation and labeled on the page where they appear.

7. Advertising

The site displays advertisements through Google AdSense to support its free operation. These ads are served by Google and are subject to Google's advertising policies. soundedfun.dev does not endorse any advertised products or services. Restaurant rankings, recipe selection, and editorial decisions are never influenced by which ads are displayed.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. This includes but is not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. No guarantee is made that the site will be available without interruption, that errors will be corrected, or that the content will be up to date.
