You agree that we may serve advertisements (including commercial and non-commercial messages) during service provision and may adjust presentation formats and coverage at our discretion. You shall independently verify the authenticity of advertising content and be responsible for transactions you make based on such advertisements, unless otherwise required by law. Payment for any feature does not entitle you to decline advertisements; this advertising arrangement constitutes reasonable consideration for us to deliver comprehensive services to all users.

  1. VIP members may access all VIP-marked benefits free of charge during the valid period. Benefits expire automatically if renewal is not completed by the due date.
