1About Obriarts

Obriarts connects performers, organizers, and opportunities. We aim to make professional work more transparent through open discovery, clear terms, and written agreements.

Obriarts does two things: it connects people, and it helps two parties sign a written agreement. It is not a party to the engagement between them, not their agent, and not a guarantor. It does not sell goods or services and does not process payments between members. Where a transaction you make with another member through Obriarts amounts to mail-order brokerage (통신판매중개) under Korea's Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, Obriarts is still not a party to that transaction: the service itself, its terms, its performance and any dispute arising from it are matters between the members, and Obriarts is not responsible for them. Obriarts gives this notice in advance on its home screen and on transaction screens. On request it will check and provide the other member's identity information — name and contact details — for the resolution of a dispute. Write to info@obriarts.com.

2Everything on Obriarts is free

• Artist, gig, audition, lesson, event and community discovery
• Profiles, applications, and in-app messaging
• The electronic-agreement connection and related account tools

There is nothing to pay. Signing up, browsing and posting listings and auditions, applying, lessons, messaging, uploading a profile and media, and the electronic-agreement connection are all free. There are no membership fees, no subscriptions, no apply passes, and no success or booking commission. Obriarts takes no share of a performance fee or a lesson fee, does not store payment details, and never bills on a recurring basis.

The apply pass, the contract and secure-payment service fee, and organizer subscriptions described in earlier versions of these terms were abolished on 25 August 2026. No member was ever charged under them, so there is nothing to refund. Obriarts is funded by advertising, which is a separate contract between the company and an advertiser and is not a fee for using the service.

Introducing a charge would turn a free feature into a paid one. Such a change is announced at least 30 days before it takes effect and notified individually by email or in-app notice, and you may close your account before it applies.

3Accounts and eligibility

• You must be at least 14 years old.
• One verified email address may be used for one account.
• You are responsible for accurate information and account security.
• Accounts may not be sold, transferred, shared, or created using another person's identity.

4Your content

You retain ownership of profiles, media, applications, listings, messages, and other content you provide. You grant Obriarts the limited rights needed to store, display, process, and operate that content for the service. You may edit or delete content where the product provides those controls.

5Privacy and contact information

We process personal data only for disclosed purposes and in accordance with applicable law. Personal phone numbers and email addresses are not publicly displayed by default; location is shown only at the level needed for matching.

6Respecting rights

Do not upload media, scores, photographs, identities, or professional records you do not have permission to use. Access to another member's content does not transfer any intellectual-property rights to you.

7Electronic agreements, and payment between the parties

Signing happens inside the Obriarts service: each party types their own name as an electronic signature, and Obriarts records the signer's name, the time and the signer's IP address and keeps the signed document (PDF) together with that signature record. An electronic signature has legal effect under Article 3 of Korea's Digital Signature Act, and the signed document has effect as an electronic document under Article 4 of the Framework Act on Electronic Documents and Transactions; the signature record may be used as evidence. What a contract says, and its effect, is between the two people who signed it — Obriarts supplies the form and connects the signing steps, is not a party to the contract, does not review its terms, and does not enforce or guarantee performance.

Performance and lesson fees are paid directly between the parties. Obriarts holds no money, does not pay on anyone's behalf and does not guarantee payment. The payment date and any cancellation penalty written into a contract are the parties' own agreement. The performer's account details and resident registration number are typed into the contract itself at signing and stay in the signed document — Obriarts does not register payout accounts and does not store them. Withholding tax and related filings are the responsibility of the party paying and the party being paid.

The secure-payment (escrow) arrangement described in earlier versions of these terms ended with the move to a free service. Nothing was ever deposited through it, so no booking in progress is affected. Non-payment, unilateral cancellation and abusive conduct remain serious violations and may lead to account restriction, but Obriarts cannot collect a fee on your behalf or compel payment; on request it will provide the contract and signature records.

8Reviews

Reviews are written by members about each other. Obriarts does not write them and does not guarantee that a review is true or accurate; a review is the author's own statement, and the author is responsible for it. Reviews that are knowingly false, abusive, defamatory, unrelated to the engagement, or written in exchange for payment are prohibited, as is demanding money or favours for removing one. Reported reviews are handled under article 10.

9Prohibited use

• False listings, misleading fees, fake opportunities, or contact harvesting
• Harassment, discrimination, impersonation, fraud, or non-payment
• Automated scraping, account abuse, reverse engineering, malware, or service disruption
• Offering unlawful products or services

10Restrictions and enforcement

Depending on severity, Obriarts may warn, temporarily restrict, or terminate an account. Serious illegality, repeated non-payment, fraud, or significant harm may lead to immediate termination. We will give notice where reasonably possible and accept appeals at info@obriarts.com.

11Responsibility and its limits

Obriarts is responsible for loss caused by its own intent or negligence, as required by law. Obriarts is not a party to the engagement between members and does not guarantee that a contract will be performed: loss arising from non-performance, a no-show, an unpaid fee or a dispute between members is not Obriarts' responsibility — except where that loss is caused by Obriarts' intent or gross negligence. Obriarts does not verify member-supplied information in advance and does not warrant its accuracy, but acts on reports under article 10.

A clause excluding all liability of a business is void under article 7 of Korea's Act on the Regulation of Terms and Conditions, so these terms do not contain one. Liability for intent or gross negligence, for defects in the service itself, and any liability that cannot be excluded by law remains. Consumer rights under Korean law are not limited by these terms.

12Account termination

You may close your account from settings. Identifying data is deleted or de-identified unless a record must be retained for contracts, disputes, or legal compliance. Delete public posts you no longer want before closing the account.

13Service changes and interruption

Maintenance, failure, force majeure, or product changes may interrupt service. We aim to announce foreseeable material changes at least seven days ahead, or 30 days ahead when a change may materially disadvantage members.

14Changes to these terms

Ordinary amendments are announced at least seven days before taking effect; materially adverse changes are announced at least 30 days ahead and may also be sent by email. You may stop using the service if you do not accept an amendment.

15Contact and feedback

Questions, complaints, and product feedback may be sent to info@obriarts.com. We will respond within a reasonable scope and timeframe.

16Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea. We first seek a good-faith resolution through customer support. Where litigation is necessary, the Seoul Central District Court is the agreed court of first instance to the extent permitted by law.

17Obri BPM — a summary of your record on Obriarts

Obriarts summarises the activity a member has on record here as a number between 50 and 200, shown alongside an Italian tempo marking (Grave, Adagio, Andante, Moderato, Allegro, Presto). It is called Obri BPM, every member starts at 60, and performers and organizers are treated the same way.

It is not an assessment of the member.It is not a judgement of creditworthiness, ability or character, and it is not credit information under Korea's Credit Information Use and Protection Act. Obriarts does not grade members or place them in percentiles. It does, however, offer a “Highest BPM” sort in the performer directory: where a member chooses it, the list is ordered by this number, and the number therefore affects the order in which results appear. A number near 60 means there is not much on record yet — it is a neutral starting point, not a mark against anyone.

The number rises from facts already recorded here: identity verification, a completed profile, a contract signed by both sides, an engagement date passing, an organizer answering applicants. It falls in two cases. A moderator may review a report and make a finding — an upheld report, a culpable cancellation after signing, a confirmed no-show, applicants left unanswered; only these can take the number below 60. And cancelling a posting that already has applicants, without any contract, is computed automatically from the record and costs 2 — it cannot take the number below 60 and counts at most three times in 30 days. Reviews and member ratings do not move it, and nothing below 60 is reached automatically.

Obriarts does not warrant that the number is accurate.It summarises only what is recorded here, so it says nothing about work done elsewhere or about whether an engagement will be performed. Choosing someone with it in mind is the member's own judgement, and Obriarts' responsibility for the outcome is limited as set out in article 11. Obriarts does not restrict an account on the strength of this number alone; restrictions follow article 10. Creating extra accounts, signing contracts for engagements that will not happen, or colluding to manufacture a record breaches article 9, and Obriarts may reverse the affected entries.

You can see, item by item, how your own number moved and why. Other members see only the number and the tempo marking — never the reason for a decrease or who the other party was. If you disagree with an entry, write to info@obriarts.com: we check it, correct or remove anything that is wrong, recalculate the number, and tell you the reason where we cannot act. Because the number is calculated automatically, the explanation and objection procedure under article 37-2 of the Personal Information Protection Act is set out in the privacy policy below.

1Data processed

• Account: email, name, provider, locale, and consent records
• Profile: instrument, biography, education, experience, media, and general location
• Activity: listings, applications, messages, contracts, and reviews
• Technical: access logs, device or browser information, and security records
• Derived: the Obri BPM number and the itemised entries that explain it (article 9)

2Purposes and legal basis

We use data to operate accounts, match opportunities, deliver requested features, prevent abuse, connect the signing of agreements, answer support requests, comply with law, and improve reliability. Obriarts does not process payments between members and does not collect payout account details. Optional marketing data is used only with consent.

3Data combinations and recommendations

Instrument, location, schedule, and listing data may be combined to show relevant opportunities or availability. Aggregated or de-identified data may be used to understand market patterns. We do not sell personal activity data for third-party advertising.

4Retention and deletion

• Account and profile data: deleted or anonymised when the account is closed. A hashed identity-verification result (no raw CI or resident number), the pitch ledger and referral records are kept for five years after closure to prevent re-registration abuse, on the company's legitimate-interest basis; other records only as the law requires.
• Access logs: ordinarily deleted after three months
• Electronic contract records: retained for up to five years where required. There are no payment or settlement records, because Obriarts charges nothing and holds no money
• Abuse and dispute records: retained for up to five years where necessary

Backup deletion may take up to 30 days.

5Your controls

You may edit your profile and schedule, delete your listings where available, close your account, or request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability by contacting info@obriarts.com.

6Third-party disclosure

We do not provide personal data to third parties without consent unless required by law, necessary to protect rights or safety, or needed to complete a transaction you requested.

7Processors and international services

Service providers may process limited data for hosting, authentication, email, messaging, error monitoring, maps, and identity verification. Current providers include Supabase, Vercel, Resend, Stream, Sentry, Mapbox, Google, PortOne (identity verification only), Kakao (login and Kakao Sync consent), and Infobank (알림톡 delivery). Electronic signatures are handled inside the service and are not outsourced. We use contractual and technical safeguards appropriate to each service. The Korean privacy policy carries the full processor and cross-border transfer tables.

8Children and user rights

Members must be at least 14. You may withdraw optional consent without losing unrelated core service. If you believe your rights were not handled properly, contact us or the relevant Korean privacy authority.

9Automated decisions — Obri BPM

Obriarts automatically calculates Obri BPM from the record a member builds here and shows the resulting number and tempo marking to other members. Because it can be taken into account when people choose who to work with, we treat it as something that may fall under article 37-2 of the Personal Information Protection Act and disclose it accordingly. It is not credit information.

It is calculated from: the account's age and standing; whether identity verification is complete, and whether the counterparty's verification identifier hash matches yours; whether the profile is complete; signatures on electronic contracts and their times, and whether both signing IP addresses are the same; posting, applying, answering applicants, and engagement dates passing; and findings a moderator has made on a report. The two comparisons above are used only to stop one person raising two accounts against each other.

Increases and the gradual return toward 60 during inactivity are automatic. Most decreases are not: a moderator reviews the report and makes the finding, and only those can go below 60. The one exception is cancelling a posting that already has applicants with no contract in place, which is computed from the record alone, costs 2, stops at 60 and counts at most three times in 30 days. Every change is stored as its own line with what caused it, when, how much and with whom, which is what makes an itemised explanation possible. Obriarts does not restrict an account on this number alone.

You may ask for an explanation, see your own history line by line, object to an entry and ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and ask us to stop or refuse the processing. Write to info@obriarts.com or use the access, correction, deletion and suspension request form. We act on requests as required by articles 37 and 37-2 and tell you the reason where the law allows us to decline. The record is kept while the account exists and is deleted with it. The full basis — what each fact is worth and the limits that stop it being gamed — is published in the help centre.

10Privacy contact

Privacy inquiries: info@obriarts.com. We apply access controls, encryption in transit, logging, and other safeguards intended to protect personal data.

1Information covered

Obriarts does not collect a Korean resident registration number into its own records. The performer passes their account holder name, bank account number and — only when the organizer must file withholding tax — resident registration number to the organizer directly, outside the contract document. The signed PDF records only that this exchange happens; the values themselves are never entered into Obriarts and are not stored in its database.

2Purpose and safeguards

The verification agency sends Obriarts your name, date of birth, gender, mobile number, resident/foreign-national status, and an encrypted user identifier (CI). Of these, only three are kept — whether you are an adult, whether the name matches, and a hash of the encrypted user identifier (CI). Everything else, including the raw CI and the resident registration number, is discarded as soon as the check completes and is never stored.

3Right to refuse

You may refuse optional collection. A feature that legally requires verification may be unavailable, but unrelated Obriarts features remain available.

1What you may receive

With consent, Obriarts may send product news, relevant opportunities, benefits, events, surveys, and promotional information. Core notices about security, contracts, and account operation are not marketing.

2Channels and opt-out

Messages may be sent by email or in-app notification. You can change marketing preferences in settings or use the unsubscribe method in a message. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before it.
