Terms of Use
Last updated 2026-11-11 · Draft, not yet reviewed by a lawyer
Not That Spicy is a place where travelers share honest reviews of food in Korea and the small problems that trip them up. By using the site you agree to the rules below.
1. Writing reviews
- Write about places you actually visited. Fake reviews, paid reviews you don't disclose, and reviews of your own business are removed.
- If a restaurant paid you or gave you a free meal, say so in the first line.
- Criticize the food and the service, not people. No real names, phone numbers, car plates or faces of staff or other customers.
- No hate speech, threats, or sexual content.
2. Your content and how we use it
You keep the rights to what you post. You give us a free, worldwide permission to show, store, resize, translate and feature it on Not That Spicy and in our introductions of the site, including our videos and social media posts. When we feature a post in a video, we hide your nickname. You can delete your posts at any time; copies already published in videos may stay up.
3. Reports and takedowns
Every post has a Report button. If someone says a post violates their rights, we may hide it right away while we look into it (temporary measure under Article 44-2 of Korea's Network Act). The writer can ask us to restore it.
4. Sponsored content
Anything a business paid for is labeled "Sponsored". "Visitor Pick" is chosen automatically from ratings and is never for sale.
5. No scraping
Reviews, scores and spice-gap data are protected as a database. Copying them in bulk, scraping, or collecting them with bots is prohibited. Pages show a watermark with your account name and the time so leaked screenshots can be traced.
6. Accounts
One person, one account. We may suspend accounts that break these rules. You can delete your account at any time.
7. Our responsibility
Reviews are personal opinions of travelers, not our advice. Spice levels, prices and opening hours change, so check on the spot. We are not responsible for losses caused by relying on posts, except where the law says otherwise.
8. Our content and copying
The Not That Spicy name and logo, our characters (Sunny, Dash, DJ Mild, Echo, Stony, Teacher Kim and the rest of the crew), their artwork, our broadcasts and videos, the site design and the text we write are protected by copyright and other laws. You may share a link. You may not copy, re-upload, redraw, sell or train AI models on them without our written permission. Unauthorized copying will be met with takedown requests and legal action, including claims for damages.
9. Changes
If we change these terms, we post the new version here at least 7 days before it applies (30 days if the change is unfavorable to you).
10. Law
These terms follow the laws of the Republic of Korea. Disputes go to the court that has jurisdiction under the Civil Procedure Act.
