Sponsored Video Inquiries for Our YouTube Channel

Our editorial priority is to deliver content that is genuinely useful and interesting to our viewers. If we judge that a proposed promotion would not provide value or relevance to our audience, we may, regretfully, decline the request. Before contacting us, please confirm that the topic you wish to promote is suitable for our channel's viewership.

1. Topics We Cannot Accept

We do not accept sponsored video requests for the following:

• VPN-related services
• AI-related services
• Requests that only describe the company without clear details about the product or service to be promoted
• Content that we determine cannot be expressed appropriately under the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations, the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act, or related guidelines
• Any other products or services that we determine are not suitable for our channel

2. Release Schedule and Production Timeline

In principle, it takes one to six months from the date we confirm receipt of the upfront payment (described below) until the video is released.

We will share the estimated days required for storyboard creation, filming, and editing in advance, after the project is confirmed.

When physical products are provided, we set a minimum verification period of two weeks (approximately half a month) for in-house use and testing before deciding whether to feature the product. Please incorporate this verification period into your schedule.

The release date, thumbnail, and title are finalized at our discretion, and no changes are accepted after they are finalized. The exact release time is left to the creator, but we will share the planned release time slot in advance.

* The timeline may vary depending on content, verification period, and our workload.

3. Process from Inquiry to Release (Overview)

1. Inquiry (please share the information listed under "Information to Provide" below)
2. Review and discussion of terms (compensation, video direction, required items, schedule, etc.)
3. Conclusion of the contract online
4. Production and verification begin after we confirm receipt of the upfront payment (approximately 50% of the agreed amount)
5. Video release
6. Payment of the remaining balance after release

4. Compensation for Sponsored Video Production

When requesting a sponsored video, please propose your offered compensation. We will then discuss and decide the final amount based on your proposal and the project details.

(For both regular sponsored videos and product-introduction videos, the compensation is finalized before shipping any product or signing the contract.)

We cannot accept the following contract types:

• Requests offering only physical products with a compensation of zero
• Contracts that reduce compensation based on view count or performance
• Contracts that vary compensation based on affiliate link sales
• Contracts that require exclusivity or competitor exclusion (consultation required if necessary; generally not accepted)

For regular sponsored videos, approximately 50% of the agreed compensation is paid as an upfront payment at the time of contract, and the remaining balance is paid after the video is released.

* Cancellations after contract conclusion are not accepted in principle (the upfront payment is non-refundable).

5. Product Review Videos (When a Product Is Provided)

When a product is sent to us, we will use and verify it in-house for at least half a month (approximately two weeks) before deciding whether to feature it. If we determine the product is not suitable for our channel, we will not produce a video, and no compensation will be charged.

If you wish to have the product returned, shipping costs will be borne by you. If return is not requested, we will dispose of the product appropriately.

If we proceed with the feature, approximately 50% of the agreed compensation is paid as an upfront payment after our decision, and the remaining balance is paid after the video is released.

6. Expenses for Sponsored Video Production

If additional items are required to produce or verify the sponsored video, the purchase cost will be borne by the requester.

(Example: a new-generation motherboard required to review a new-generation CPU.)

If any additional items need to be purchased or prepared for introducing the product, we will inform you of the required items and costs together when responding with our decision to proceed. We present them in advance to ensure no additional costs arise after the contract is concluded.

7. Disclaimer

Our sponsored videos communicate findings based on fact, including any negative impressions or areas for improvement identified during use and verification, without bias. The requester must consent to this policy in advance.

We do not use expressions intended to redirect viewers to specific competing products, but we may compare or mention them within the scope necessary for verification.

For sponsored videos, we display a PR notice in the description and elsewhere as required.

8. Review of Storyboard / Script / Initial Cut, and Modification Policy

We can accommodate client review of the storyboard and script in advance, as well as review and feedback on the initial cut (in principle, one round each). Before filming, we share the storyboard and script in text form to align understanding.

Scope for which we accept modifications

• Factual errors, including mistakes in product specifications, names, or pronunciations
• Concerns related to laws such as the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act and the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations, as well as rights and confidentiality
• Omissions of mandatory captions or specified materials, and deficiencies in promotion notices (disclosure messages, descriptions, etc.)

Scope for which we do not accept modifications or deletions

We cannot accommodate requests to change or delete the actual evaluation or impressions formed after use and verification (including any negative findings).

Honest verification is the core value of our channel, and we believe it ultimately strengthens both the appeal to viewers and compliance safety. Please understand and accept this premise before placing your request.

* Our channel mainly covers PCs, peripherals, and gadgets, so cases falling under the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act are limited. We will cooperate with review and modifications when applicable.

Titles, thumbnails, and release dates/times are finalized at our discretion, and no changes are accepted after finalization, in principle.

9. Contract

When making a request, you will conclude the contract that we provide online.

10. Information to Provide at the Time of Inquiry

When contacting us, please share the following information to the extent possible:

• Company name / contact person name / contact information
• Promotion target (product or service name, URL, overview)
• Desired appeal points (up to about three, if possible)
• Desired video format (review, how-to, comparison, cautions, etc.)
• What you can provide (units, verification environments, accounts, materials, samples, etc.)
• Desired release timing (if any)
• Proposed compensation amount (required)

11. Other Conditions

Even when all conditions above are met, we may decline a request at our discretion. Please understand this in advance.
