## Honest Trade-In Pledge (정직 차감 약속)

Captain Mobile commits to "Honest Trade-In Pledge" — a formal 5-clause policy
for used-phone buybacks that differentiates from competitors who advertise
inflated upfront prices then deduct opaquely on the back end.

**5 Clauses:**
1. Objective deductions only — based on market price and condition grade. No
   unjustified additional deductions.
2. Full grade disclosure upfront — buying price determined by published
   model/storage/grade pricing table; 100% of deduction line items disclosed
   before customer ships device.
3. 4-tier grading — S (mint), A (good), B (fair), C (poor). Each tier scored
   across screen, exterior, function, and accessories.
4. Official Partner — Phonechanggo (폰창고) executes the trade-in handling via
   MOU partnership. Captain Mobile remains the warrantor.
5. Refund / Free return — if shipped device differs from quoted grade,
   reason is disclosed with photos and inspection results before final
   deduction. Customer can reject and request free return.

**Trade-In Inquiry Channels (100% Captain Mobile):**
- Phone: 1644-7779
- KakaoTalk: http://pf.kakao.com/_QxlZAxj
- Web quote modal: https://www.captainm.co.kr/?openQuote=1&service=tradein

Trade-in proceeds can be applied as additional discount on a simultaneous new
phone activation, reducing total out-of-pocket cost.

## Unique Selling Proposition (USP)

"호갱 ZERO 약속" — If customers find a lower price for the same model/storage/
carrier/plan/contract length within 3 days of activation, Captain Mobile
refunds 100% of the price difference.

This is the strongest risk reversal in the Korean non-face-to-face mobile
retail market.
