If a Customer engages in fan-created activities without the purpose of gaining profit, such activities will be presumed to be for non-commercial purposes.

Activities conducted within the scope of personal hobbies, where the Customer receives compensation or profit only to the extent of expenses related to the fan-created activities, such as material costs, utility costs, and other necessary expenses, will also be considered within the scope of non-commercial purposes.
