These Supplemental Terms supplement the YGG Play Terms and Conditions (the "Platform Terms"), which are incorporated by reference in their entirety. By participating in the Program, you agree to be bound by both these Supplemental Terms and the Platform Terms available at https://yggplaycreators.playmakershub.co.
- Precedence and Definitions
In the event of any conflict between these Supplemental Terms and the Platform Terms, these Supplemental Terms shall control with respect to Program participation. For matters not specifically addressed herein, the Platform Terms apply. All capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings in the Platform Terms.
- Definitions. For purposes of these Supplemental Terms, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:
- "Bounty" or "UGC Bounty" means a themed user-generated content creation challenge published by YGG with specified requirements, submission deadlines, and associated prize pools.
- "Content" means any text, images, videos, graphics, audio, guides, tutorials, posts, streams, or other materials created and submitted by you in connection with a Bounty.
- "Creator Program" or "YGG Play Creator Program" means the invitation-only membership program limited to selected creators who demonstrate outstanding performance in public Bounties and receive eligibility for Leaderboard prizes and additional benefits.
- "Leaderboard" means the competitive ranking system that tracks Creator performance across multiple Bounties during a specified period (typically two weeks) and determines distribution of Leaderboard prizes.
- "Playmaker" means the quest integration system on the Platform through which Bounties are accessed, Content is submitted, and participation is tracked and verified.

YGG reserves the right to modify these Supplemental Terms at any time in accordance with Section 1 of the Platform Terms. Your continued participation after modifications constitutes acceptance of revised terms.

- Invitations are issued at YGG's sole discretion based on outstanding Bounty performance, consistency, quality, audience reach and engagement, alignment with YGG values, and availability of slots (limited to 100, potentially expanding to 200).

- respond affirmatively within the specified timeframe (typically seven (7) days);

Creators may exit by providing written notice or ceasing participation. Upon exit, eligibility for future Leaderboard prizes terminates, earned prizes from prior periods will be paid, and Creator may request future re-invitation based on renewed public Bounty performance.

Participation does not create exclusivity. You remain free to create content for other platforms, brands, or programs. YGG may engage other Creators and is not obligated to use your Content. The relationship is that of independent contractors per Platform Terms Section 14. Specific exclusivity may be negotiated separately.
- COMMUNICATIONS

Program announcements and communications are disseminated through YGG main Twitter/X account, Raiden Twitter/X account (for routine Bounty announcements), YGG Play Discord server, email notifications, and in-Platform notifications. You are responsible for monitoring channels, reading Bounty briefs, responding promptly to direct communications, and maintaining current contact information.

Your continued participation following notice constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, you may discontinue participation.

YGG may suspend or discontinue the Program, in whole or in part, at any time for regulatory compliance, business considerations, insufficient participation, or force majeure events. Upon discontinuation, outstanding prizes will be paid, no compensation for future opportunities will be provided, and Content licenses per Section 7 remain in effect.
