New registration and payment channels have been closed first; existing users may continue using the service temporarily and can request refunds for unused paid subscriptions and credit packages. Users may also migrate some of the materials listed in the original text to WorkBuddy; after service termination, the process will move into backup, migration, and subsequent data-deletion stages.

Existing users need to address refunds, data migration, and backups before service termination and data deletion, and confirm which data can be migrated to WorkBuddy.
