Effective Date: August 22, 2025

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the YGG Play platform (the “Platform” or “YGG Play”), a web-based service operated by Yield Guild Games, a Swiss Association (“YGG,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The Redeem Platform is a feature of YGG Play and is further governed by the Redeem Platform Supplemental Terms (the “Redeem Supplement”). By accessing or initiating a redemption through the Redeem Platform, you agree to the Redeem Supplement. If these Terms conflict with the Redeem Supplement, the Redeem Supplement controls for Redeem Platform activity.

By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you may not access or use the Platform.

These Terms include important provisions that affect your rights, including limitations of liability, disclaimers of warranties, and a binding arbitration agreement under Swiss law with venue in Zug, Switzerland. By using the Platform, you agree to resolve disputes individually through arbitration and waive certain legal rights, including participation in class actions. You may opt out of the arbitration clause within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms by following the instructions in Section 14. If you do not opt out, arbitration will be your sole method of dispute resolution.

1. INTRODUCTION

YGG Play is a Web3 game discovery and token participation platform designed for players, developers, and token contributors. It offers users the ability to explore blockchain-integrated games, complete quests, earn reward points, stake tokens, and participate in early-stage token launches.

The Platform is made available for informational and entertainment purposes only. No part of the Platform constitutes financial, legal, or investment advice.

We may revise or update these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. We will notify users of material changes via in-Platform notices or email, where applicable. Continued use of the Platform after such updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. ELIGIBILITY AND ACCESS

You must be at least sixteen (16) years old—or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, if higher—to access or use the Platform. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may only use the Platform under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.

By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that:

• you meet the applicable age requirement;
• you are not a citizen or resident of, or located in, a jurisdiction where access to or use of the Platform, Web3 services, or participation in digital asset activities is prohibited by applicable law, regulation, or sanctions list (including those issued by OFAC, the European Union, or the Swiss Secretariat for Economic Affairs);
• you are not accessing the Platform on behalf of a prohibited person or entity; and
• you will comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations in connection with your use of the Platform.

To access most features of the Platform, you must log in using a supported authentication method, such as Google OAuth or a Web3-compatible wallet (e.g., Abstract Wallet via ThirdWeb). You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your login credentials, wallet private keys, seed phrases, and any two-factor authentication mechanisms used.

YGG may suspend or terminate access to the Platform for any user it determines, in its sole discretion, has violated this Section or poses a legal or reputational risk to the Platform.

3. PLATFORM FUNCTIONALITY

The Platform includes features for game discovery, quest completion, token staking, points accrual, token swapping, and participation in token launch events. YGG reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any Platform feature at any time without liability.

1. Game Discovery

YGG Play provides a curated interface for discovering and exploring third-party Web3 games. These games are developed and operated by independent third parties. YGG does not operate, control, or assume responsibility for the availability, legality, security, user experience, or accuracy of any third-party game or website. Inclusion of a game on the Platform does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by YGG.

2. Points System

Users may accrue non-transferable, non-redeemable YGG Play Points (“Points”) by completing quests, staking tokens, or engaging in other eligible activities defined by YGG. Users also generate "effort" events when completing qualifying actions. "Effort" is a non-reward metric that contributes to a user's share of the daily Points distribution pool. Points:

• have no cash value or equivalent in any jurisdiction;
• are not property, securities, or financial instruments;
• are not transferable, assignable, or tradable;
• may be earned, withheld, revoked, capped, expired, or adjusted at YGG’s sole discretion;
• may be burned upon redemption or use (e.g., during token launch pledges); and
• do not confer ownership rights, voting power, or entitlement to revenue or tokens.

Earning Points does not guarantee eligibility for token launches or other rewards. YGG reserves the right to modify the rules, categories, weights, or criteria for Point accrual and distribution at any time. Points are typically calculated and distributed daily at 00:00 UTC based on user effort relative to others in weighted reward categories.

3. Token Launch Participation
   The Platform enables users to participate in early-stage token launches via a multi-phase process:

• Pledge Phase: Users pledge Points to indicate interest.
• Contribution Phase: Eligible users contribute $YGG based on a system-calculated cap.
• Claim Phase: If the raise meets the required minimum, participants may claim an allocation of the new token. If the minimum is not met, $YGG is refunded and pledged Points are forfeited.

YGG does not guarantee access to or success in any token launch. Allocation tiers are determined algorithmically based on Point pledges. Points used in token launches are permanently burned and are not refundable. All contributions are non-custodial and initiated through on-chain smart contract interactions. YGG does not control or store contributed tokens.

YGG may modify token launch rules, eligibility criteria, contribution windows, or supported tokens at its sole discretion and without prior notice.

4. Token Staking

Users may stake $YGG (and other supported tokens, when available) via the Platform to accrue Points. Staking requires smart contract approval and on-chain transaction execution. Only full staking and unstaking are permitted. Unstaking within the same day forfeits Points for that day’s calculation.

YGG does not custody staked tokens and is not responsible for staking contract behavior. Staked tokens remain in user-controlled wallets or smart contract vaults. Users are responsible for maintaining blockchain fees and ensuring compatibility with supported staking mechanisms.

5. Token Swaps

The Platform offers a third-party integration with Uniswap or other decentralized exchange protocols to facilitate token swaps. Swaps are non-custodial and fully on-chain. YGG does not facilitate or intermediate swaps and is not responsible for price slippage, failed transactions, insufficient liquidity, or unexpected costs arising from token exchange.

Users acknowledge that all swaps are at their own risk and require Web3 wallet interaction. Swap availability may vary depending on market conditions, protocol functionality, or network congestion.

4. USER CONDUCT AND RESTRICTIONS
   
   1. Prohibited Activities

You agree not to engage in any activity that, in YGG’s sole discretion, interferes with or disrupts the proper functioning of the Platform, violates these Terms, or harms other users. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:

• Using bots, scripts, automation tools, or other non-human methods to interact with the Platform or complete quests;
• Creating multiple accounts or aliases to circumvent participation limits, inflate rankings, or gain unfair advantages;
• Engaging in Sybil attacks, front-running, MEV extraction, or flash loan schemes to manipulate Platform outcomes;
• Exploiting bugs, smart contract vulnerabilities, or API inconsistencies for personal gain;
• Reverse engineering, decompiling, scraping, or attempting to access Platform source code or backend systems;
• Using the Platform for any unlawful, deceptive, abusive, or fraudulent purposes;
• Impersonating any individual, entity, or YGG representative;
• Uploading or transmitting viruses, malicious code, or other harmful content;
• Interfering with or bypassing Platform security features, rate limits, or access controls;
• Scraping, indexing, mining, or commercially exploiting Platform data (including leaderboards, rankings, or wallet addresses) without prior written consent;
• Promoting competing services, projects, or platforms within or via YGG Play;
• Accessing or using the Platform from a jurisdiction where such use is illegal, restricted, or sanctioned; or
• Engaging in any activity that YGG determines is harmful to its reputation, security, legal standing, or user community.

2. Account and Wallet Security

You are solely responsible for:

• safeguarding your Web3 wallet credentials, private keys, seed phrases, and Google OAuth credentials;
• ensuring sufficient balances for transaction fees and on-chain actions;
• monitoring your account activity for unauthorized access; and
• complying with the terms of service of any wallet, exchange, or authentication service you use in connection with the Platform.

3. Enforcement and Remedies

YGG reserves the right to take any enforcement action it deems necessary, with or without notice, including but not limited to:

• monitoring and logging user activity;
• investigating suspicious behavior or violations;
• suspending, throttling, or permanently banning accounts or wallets;
• withholding or forfeiting Points, staking rewards, or token allocations;
• revoking access to quests, token launches, or other features;
• modifying user rankings, standings, or eligibility; and
• reporting unlawful activity to appropriate law enforcement, regulators, or third-party platforms.

YGG shall have no liability to you for any enforcement action taken in accordance with this Section.

5. REWARDS AND PROCESSING
   
   1. Discretionary and Non-Guaranteed

Rewards made available on the Platform—including Points, token allocations, and other incentives—are discretionary, non-guaranteed, and may be withheld, modified, delayed, or discontinued by YGG at any time for any reason.

2. Processing Timelines

Unless otherwise stated, rewards are calculated and distributed on a daily basis following a scheduled snapshot and aggregation process, typically executed at 00:00 UTC. Processing may take additional time depending on network conditions, API availability, or technical constraints. The completion of a qualifying activity (e.g., staking, quest completion, token contribution) does not entitle the user to immediate or fixed rewards.

3. Informational Balances

Any reward amounts, point balances, allocation tiers, or leaderboard rankings displayed on the Platform are provided for informational purposes only. They are subject to change, recalculation, and correction without notice. No display of eligibility or projected rewards constitutes a binding entitlement unless and until formally confirmed by YGG or a smart contract interaction is successfully executed.

4. Reversals and Forfeiture

YGG reserves the right to reverse, suspend, or cancel any pending or previously issued rewards in the event of:

• suspected bot use, automation, or fraud;
• manipulation of quests, staking, token launches, or smart contract interactions;
• system errors, API inconsistencies, or calculation bugs;
• user account suspension, restriction, or termination under Section 4; or
• legal, regulatory, or tax compliance concerns.

5. Taxation and Reporting
   
   

You are solely responsible for determining whether any reward received from the Platform is taxable in your jurisdiction, and for reporting and remitting any taxes owed. YGG does not provide tax advice or documentation unless required by applicable law.

6. CONTENT AND THIRD-PARTY PARTNERS
   
   1. Partner-Provided Content

Some content and features on the Platform—including quests, events, token launches, promotions, branding, assets, educational materials, and reward logic—may be created, administered, or provided by third-party game developers, strategic partners, marketing collaborators, or community contributors (“Partners”).

Partner content may:

• Reference or link to external games, websites, or platforms;
• Include third-party branding, CTAs, or promotional incentives;
• Be governed by Partner-specific terms, eligibility conditions, or deadlines.

YGG does not guarantee the accuracy, availability, legality, safety, or suitability of any Partner content, nor does it assume responsibility for errors, omissions, or changes to that content. Inclusion of Partner content does not imply endorsement or approval by YGG.

2. Rewards and Partner Logic

Rewards tied to Partner quests, token launches, or other campaigns may be subject to:

• Partner-defined completion criteria and verification logic;
• Backend APIs or off-chain data provided by Partners;
• External game performance or blockchain activity;
• Limited-time or limited-slot availability.

YGG does not guarantee that completing a Partner quest or action will result in Points or token rewards. All such activities are subject to system validation and may be voided or adjusted in YGG’s sole discretion.

3. Partner Content Moderation and Removal

YGG reserves the right, but not the obligation, to review, moderate, modify, correct, or remove any Partner content or campaign at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to:

• violations of Platform content guidelines;
• inaccuracy, misleading claims, or performance failures;
• regulatory or compliance concerns;
• termination of Partner relationships;
• technical errors or broken verification logic.

YGG is not liable for any damages, lost opportunities, or missed rewards resulting from the modification, removal, or suspension of Partner content or integrations.

4. Third-Party Terms and Conditions

Your interaction with any Partner content, including quests, websites, wallets, or tokens, may be subject to that Partner’s own terms of service, privacy policy, token terms, or other documentation. You are solely responsible for reviewing and complying with any such third-party terms.

7. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE

YGG makes no representations or warranties as to the performance, accuracy, legality, or security of these third-party services and does not control their terms of service or availability.

2. Integration Risks

By using the Platform, you acknowledge and accept that:

• Your interaction with third-party services is subject to those parties’ own terms and privacy policies;
• Third-party services may become unavailable, degraded, or deprecated without notice;
• Downtime, bugs, or changes in these services may impact the Platform’s availability, reward processing, quest tracking, staking logic, or transaction execution;
• Authentication services (e.g., Google, wallet providers) may fail or temporarily restrict access;
• Token swap services may experience slippage, delays, or liquidity issues beyond YGG’s control; and
• Blockchain network congestion, forks, or protocol upgrades may interfere with Platform functionality.

YGG does not vet, audit, or continuously monitor third-party services. Any decision to integrate a third-party tool or infrastructure layer does not imply that YGG has reviewed or endorses the security, privacy practices, or reliability of such service.

3. No Liability for Third Parties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, YGG disclaims all liability for:

• Failures, errors, delays, or outages affecting third-party services;

• Changes to third-party APIs, pricing models, terms, or supported features;
• Data breaches, exploitations, or policy violations by third-party service providers; or
• Regulatory or compliance issues that arise from use of third-party infrastructure.

YGG reserves the right to modify or replace third-party services at any time and for any reason, including to comply with applicable laws, respond to service outages, or improve Platform performance.

8. BLOCKCHAIN AND SMART CONTRACT RISKS

By using the Platform, you acknowledge and accept the inherent risks associated with blockchain networks, smart contracts, and digital assets. These risks may result in the loss of tokens, Points, access, or other functionality, and you agree that you use the Platform at your own risk.

1. Blockchain Risks

YGG Play relies on blockchain networks such as Ethereum, Abstract, or other supported chains. You understand and agree that:

• Transactions are irreversible and final once confirmed;
• Blockchain networks may become congested, resulting in delays, failed transactions, or increased gas fees;
• Gas fees are volatile and are not controlled by YGG;
• Networks may fork, upgrade, or experience protocol-level bugs or exploits that disrupt functionality;
• Your use of the Platform may become impossible or impaired due to changes in the underlying blockchain network;
• Blockchain data may be delayed, incorrect, or out of sync with front-end displays;
• Regulatory developments may impact the availability or legality of blockchain-based services.

2. Smart Contract Risks

The Platform interacts with smart contracts for staking, token launches, Points accrual, and reward distribution. You acknowledge that:

• Smart contracts may contain bugs, exploits, or vulnerabilities;
• Once deployed, smart contracts are typically immutable and cannot be modified;
• Execution of smart contracts is automated and non-custodial, and YGG has limited or no control once a transaction is initiated;
• YGG is not responsible for the functionality, security, or performance of third-party token contracts or integrations;
• Smart contract audits, if conducted, do not guarantee safety or correctness.

3. Wallet and Key Management

You are solely responsible for the security of your Web3 wallet, including:

• Safeguarding private keys, seed phrases, and access credentials;
• Maintaining compatibility with supported networks and contracts;
• Holding sufficient native tokens for gas fees;
• Understanding the permanent loss of access resulting from mismanagement of wallet credentials.

4. Token Risks

Digital assets (including tokens distributed or promoted via the Platform) are inherently risky. You acknowledge that:

• Token prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate unpredictably;
• Tokens may have limited or no liquidity on secondary markets;
• Token projects may be experimental, early-stage, or fail entirely;
• Tokens may be subject to regulatory scrutiny, limitations, or enforcement actions;
• There is no guarantee of value, utility, or resale of any token acquired through the Platform.

5. No Recourse

You agree that YGG shall not be liable for any losses, damages, or disruptions arising from:

• Use or failure of any blockchain network;
• Execution or non-execution of any smart contract;
• Failure of wallet software or third-party tools;
• Security breaches, exploits, or fraud;
• Market crashes, volatility, or token illiquidity.

9. DISCLAIMERS AND RISK DISCLOSURE
   
   1. General Disclaimers

YGG Play is provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. To the fullest extent permitted by law, YGG disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.

YGG does not guarantee compatibility with all devices, browsers, wallet providers, or internet connections, nor does it guarantee specific uptime, reward processing speeds, or performance benchmarks.

4. Third-Party Content

YGG Play features and integrates content developed or submitted by third parties, including game studios, partners, sponsors, and independent contributors. This may include quests, game data, token projects, promotional materials, and educational resources. YGG does not endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for the accuracy, legality, quality, safety, or availability of any such third-party content. Interaction with third-party content or external websites linked through the Platform is at your own risk and may be governed by separate terms and conditions.

5. No Representations or Reliance

No oral or written information, representation, or advice given by YGG, its affiliates, employees, agents, or contractors shall create any warranty or alter any disclaimers expressly set forth in these Terms.

Grounds for termination may include, but are not limited to: violations of these Terms; illegal, fraudulent, abusive, or harmful activity; the use of bots or automated systems; manipulation of Platform mechanics or Points; security concerns; technical disruptions; regulatory or legal compliance requirements; or any other reason deemed necessary by YGG in its sole discretion. YGG is not liable for any damages or losses arising from the termination or suspension of access.

2. Consequences of Termination

Upon termination of your access to the Platform, all rights granted to you under these Terms will immediately cease. Any Points earned will be forfeited, and any unclaimed rewards or token launch participations may be canceled at YGG’s discretion. Access to your account, historical participation data, and any Platform features will be disabled. If you have staked tokens, they may remain subject to the applicable smart contract withdrawal conditions and timelines. YGG is not responsible for any loss of value, access, or utility resulting from termination.

3. Survival of Provisions

Any provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including but not limited to: limitations of liability, disclaimers, intellectual property ownership, indemnification obligations, dispute resolution provisions, and any accrued payment or compliance responsibilities.

12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
    
    1. Exclusion of Damages

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, YGG and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and partners shall not be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or enhanced damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, digital assets, or other intangible losses arising out of or relating to your use of YGG Play. This exclusion applies regardless of the legal theory, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, and even if YGG has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Without limitation, YGG disclaims liability for losses or damages related to: (a) the use or misuse of Points, tokens, staking, or any other in-Platform features; (b) price volatility, liquidity issues, or performance of tokens offered through the Platform; (c) smart contract bugs, failures, exploits, or forks; (d) failed, delayed, or misrouted transactions; (e) loss of access due to user error, lost private keys, or compromised wallets; (f) Platform outages, bugs, data corruption, or delayed updates; (g) inaccurate or unavailable data from third-party APIs; or (h) actions or omissions by any third-party service provider integrated with the Platform.

2. Liability Cap

To the extent YGG is found liable notwithstanding the foregoing disclaimers, YGG’s total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising from or related to YGG Play shall not exceed the greater of: (a) one hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100); or (b) the total amount of fees, if any, paid by you to YGG in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. This cap is cumulative and not per incident.

3. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless YGG, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, and licensors from and against any and all actual or alleged claims, damages, losses, liabilities, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in connection with:

• your violation of these Terms or any applicable laws or regulations;
• your use or misuse of YGG Play or any of its features, including Points, staking, token launches, or third-party integrations;
• any transaction conducted through your wallet or account, whether authorized or unauthorized;
• any content you submit to or through the Platform;
• your infringement or misappropriation of the intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any third party;
• your breach of any representation, warranty, or obligation under these Terms; or
• any fraudulent, negligent, reckless, or intentionally harmful conduct by you or anyone using your wallet, login credentials, or account.

YGG reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you agree to cooperate fully and promptly with YGG’s defense. This indemnity survives any termination of your access to the Platform.

4. Time Limitation on Claims

You agree that any claim or cause of action you may have against YGG arising out of or related to your use of the Platform must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose. Failure to file such claim within the prescribed time period constitutes a permanent bar to the claim.

13. FORCE MAJEURE

YGG shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under these Terms where such delay or failure results from causes beyond its reasonable control. This includes, but is not limited to, natural disasters, acts of God, public health emergencies such as pandemics or epidemics, war, acts of terrorism, civil unrest, or political instability. It also includes actions, restrictions, or inaction by governmental authorities, changes in applicable law or regulation (including those affecting digital assets, blockchain services, or internet access), labor disputes, strikes, or other industrial disturbances.

Force majeure further encompasses technological and infrastructure failures outside of YGG’s control, such as failures of internet service providers, telecommunications networks, power grids, or hosting infrastructure. It includes disruptions or malfunctions in blockchain networks, including forks, consensus issues, or smart contract failures; third-party service outages including RPC providers, wallet authentication platforms, decentralized exchanges, or data providers; and cyberattacks, including denial-of-service attacks, intrusions, or other malicious activities targeting the Platform or its infrastructure.

If any such event occurs, YGG may suspend or delay the affected portions of the Platform or its services without liability for the duration of the condition. Should the force majeure event persist beyond a commercially reasonable period, YGG reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the impacted functionality or features, with or without notice, as necessary to protect the integrity of the Platform and its operations.

14. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
    
    1. Governing Law

These Terms and any Dispute (as defined below) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of Switzerland, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply.

2. Arbitration

Any dispute, controversy, claim, or difference of any kind arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Platform—including but not limited to disputes regarding the existence, formation, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, termination, or consequences of nullity of these Terms, as well as any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them (a “Dispute”)—shall be exclusively and finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Swiss Rules of International Arbitration of the Swiss Chambers’ Arbitration Institution (“SCAI”) in force at the time the Notice of Arbitration is submitted.

The arbitration shall be administered by the Swiss Chambers' Arbitration Institution (SCAI) and conducted in accordance with the following parameters: the seat of arbitration shall be Zug, Switzerland, or conducted remotely, at the sole discretion of YGG; the language of the proceedings shall be English; the arbitral tribunal shall consist of one (1) or three (3) arbitrators, also at the discretion of YGG; each party shall bear its own legal costs and share equally in the arbitrators’ fees and administrative expenses, unless the arbitrator rules otherwise in a reasoned decision; and the arbitration may proceed in the absence of a party, provided that proper notice has been given in accordance with the SCAI Rules.

The award of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding on the parties. Judgment upon the award may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties waive any right of appeal, review, or recourse to the extent permitted by law.

3. Judicial Forum in Aid of Arbitration

This arbitration agreement does not preclude either party from seeking interim, injunctive, or conservatory relief in aid of arbitration from the competent courts of Zug, Switzerland or any other court with jurisdiction. If for any reason arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the courts of Zug, Switzerland shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any Dispute not subject to arbitration. Each party irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction and waives any objection to venue or forum non conveniens.

4. No Class Actions

You and YGG agree that any Dispute shall be resolved only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of representative proceeding.

5. Arbitration Opt-Out

If you do not wish to be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions in this Section, you must notify us in writing within thirty (30) days of your first acceptance of these Terms. Your written notification must include your name, wallet address (if applicable), and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with YGG through arbitration. You must send your opt-out notice to: legal@yieldguild.games.

If you opt out of arbitration, you agree that any legal action or proceeding arising from or related to these Terms or your use of the Platform shall be brought exclusively in the courts competent for the City of Zug, Switzerland, and you irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to venue or forum non conveniens in those courts.

15. GENERAL PROVISIONS

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
