[Consulting] Providing legal advice related to proxy reservation in response to a request for a restaurant reservation platform.]

S, which operates a restaurant reservation platform, contacted Law firm Veat to examine legal response measures regarding individuals who conducted reservations through other users' IDs and passwords.

In cases similar to this one, where a person other than the member uses another member’s ID and password to use the service, this may fall under the offense of computer infringement due to interference with business, as stipulated in Article 314(2) of the Criminal Act. Accordingly, Law firm Veat warned the representative reservor that the act may violate S’s terms of service and service policy and requested the cessation of reservations.  

Furthermore, to prevent similar cases from occurring in the future, Law firm Veat advised S to provide an amendment to the terms of service prohibiting the use of IDs for others, the use of others' IDs, and the use of proxy services, and to impose penalties for violations, and to notify users through pop-ups about the company's liability for damages resulting from the transfer of IDs and passwords to others.
