The Customer also acknowledges in advance that since searches and views by users are subject to seasonal and media information, etc., and that the frequency of serving Subject Ads may not always be constant, the actual advertising fees may always differ from the estimated value, and that if the budget is low and the Advertising Unit Price is high, a temporary increase in serving Subject Ads may increase the likelihood of exceeding the set upper limit.

                            The Customer acknowledges in advance that for ad products where the Company determines the delivery ranking of the Subject Ads using its own algorithm based on the quality of the Subject Ads, click-through rates, and other relevance factors, as well as the maximum bid amount for the Advertising Unit Price, the delivery ranking may not be determined solely by the maximum bid amount. The Customer agrees not to hold the Company liable for the delivery ranking or the method of determination.
