Abstract
Game users purchase contents in order to enjoy games, which is the case as for minors. The most frequently used payment method for minors' purchasing game contents is many kinds of gift certificates. Other payment methods include adding the payment to their cellular phone bills and charging it to their parents' credit cards. Although such payment methods are easily used due to convenience, consequent disputes are also continuously increasing. Both users and game service providers suffer damage due to the disputes related to game payments by minors and, in some cases, such problem also becomes a social issue. The purpose of this study is to present data for the standardization of refund policy (system) for payments made by minors by investigating and analyzing the laws and institutions related to game payments by minors and examining relevant dispute cases, in order to prevent and solve such disputes efficiently.
