Article 3 (Formation of the Service Agreement)
- A service agreement is formed when a User applies for organization registration or requests a quotation/purchase and the Company accepts the application.

- Provisioning, migration, and operational support for workspaces such as Google Workspace
- Automatic issuance of transaction documents such as quotations

The Company provides guidance and support necessary to use the Services, but each Vendor is responsible for development and maintenance of the software itself.
Article 6 (Precedence of Vendor Terms)
- Software functionality, usage conditions, and restrictions are governed by the terms and policies of the relevant Vendor. By using the software, the User is considered to agree to the Vendor's terms.
- If a Vendor changes pricing, policy, or functionality, or discontinues a product, the Company will notify the User as soon as the change is confirmed and discuss alternatives.
- If Vendor policy changes make it impossible to maintain existing terms, the Company's responsibility is fulfilled by settling and refunding the amount corresponding to the remaining period.
- Prices displayed by the Company are estimated based on registered list prices. Actual supply prices are finalized at the quotation stage after confirming organization type, quantity, and availability.
Article 7 (Fees · Payment · Taxes)
- Usage fees follow the conditions stated in the quotation and are generally paid monthly.
