2. Regulation and Risk

Your Yield Account is not a bank account, deposit account, savings account or any other type of asset account and should not be treated or characterised as a banking product or service. Yield is not providing an investment-based or loan-based crowdfunding platform.

When you transfer Digital Assets to Yield they will be held in your Wallet in accordance with these Terms, unless and until you designate such assets for lending by clicking “Earn”, “Lock” or “Stake” on the Yield Platform. Any Digital Assets designated by you to receive interest constitute a loan from you to Yield in accordance with these Terms. By lending your Digital Assets to Yield you grant Yield all rights and title to such Digital Assets, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for Yield to use in its own discretion.

We will use these lent Digital Assets for our own commercial purposes, which may include us investing them with third party exchanges. In return, we will pay you interest in the same Digital Assets you lent to Yield and/or in YLD Token in accordance with the rewards tiers published on our website.

All Digital Assets held in your Wallet prior to clicking “Earn”, “Lock” or “Stake” and being designated as lent Digital Assets are assets held by Yield for your benefit on a custodial basis. Among other things, this means:

· Title to Digital Assets shall at all times remain with you and shall not be transferred until the designated Digital Assets are lent to Yield on the Yield Platform. As the owner of Digital Assets in your Wallet, you shall bear all risk of loss of such Digital Assets. Yield shall not have any liability for fluctuations in the Fiat Currency value of Digital Assets held in your Yield Account.

· Other than when lent to Yield on the Yield Platform, none of the Digital Assets in your Wallet are the property of Yield; Yield does not represent or treat assets in a User’s Wallet as belonging to Yield. Yield may not grant a security interest in the Digital Assets held in your Wallet. Except as required by a facially valid court order, or except when lent in accordance with these Terms, Yield will not sell, transfer, loan, hypothecate, or otherwise alienate Digital Assets in your Wallet unless instructed by you or compelled by a court of competent jurisdiction to do so.

· Prior to designating your Digital Assets as lent to Yield, you control the Digital Assets held in your Wallet. At any time, subject to these Terms, outages, downtime, and other applicable policies, you may withdraw your Digital Assets by sending it to a different wallet address of your choice as you may see fit in your own discretion.

· In order to hold User’s Digital Assets more securely, Yield may use its blockchain addresses, Cold Storage wallets or other blockchain addresses or wallets as it sees fit to store User’s Digital Assets, separately to Yield’s Digital Assets. User’s Digital Assets which are held in the User’s Wallet and not lent are identifiably segregated from Yield’s Digital Assets or funds by way of separate ledger accounting entries for User’s and Yield’s accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Yield shall not have any obligation to use different blockchain addresses to store Digital Assets owned by you and Digital Assets owned by other Users or by Yield with respect to lent Digital Assets.

Yield is under no obligation to issue any replacement Digital Assets in the event that any Digital Assets, password or a User’s private key is lost, stolen, malfunctioning, destroyed or otherwise inaccessible.

No Yield Service or entity (including, without limitation, Yield App Limited and Yield App SRL) is authorised or regulated by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) for the purposes of crypto asset exchange, crypto asset custody, broader crypto asset services or for making payments in crypto assets within the Yield community. Your Digital Assets are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme or the Financial Ombudsman Service or any other consumer protections or similar schemes in any jurisdiction.

As part of Yield Services, Yield has engaged various Third Party Service Providers which may be regulated and authorised in respect of the services they provide. You acknowledge and agree that our providing access to services with Third Party Service Providers shall not be deemed to confer any requirement for authorisation on the part of Yield, or constitute Yield being regulated or authorised to provide the services that are provided by the Third Party Service Providers.

You acknowledge and agree that any Service referred to in a Service Schedule shall be provided to you by the Operator and/or such Third Party Service Provider specified in that Service Schedule. In such case, the relevant Specified Service shall be provided to you on and subject to these Terms, with references in these Terms to “Yield” (or “we”, “our” or “us”) being read as references to the Operator or Third Party Service Provider specified in the relevant Service Schedule, unless the context provides otherwise, and under no circumstances shall any other person, including any affiliate of the Operator or Third Party Service Provider, be liable to you for the performance of any of the Operator or Third Party Service Provider’s obligations under these Terms.

The Regulatory Regime Governing Digital Assets

The regulatory framework governing Digital Assets remains unsettled and laws, regulations, or guidelines may be signiﬁcantly revised and amended which may materially and adversely affect the value of Digital Assets and our services on the Yield Platform.

Yield may be required to obtain licences, permits, and/or approvals in any jurisdiction where it seeks to offer the Yield Services. If Yield is unable to obtain such regulatory approvals or if such regulatory approvals are not renewed or are revoked for any reason, the Users in such jurisdictions may be unable to access or use the Yield Services or may be restricted to use part of the Yield Services. In the case where Yield may be requested or forced to suspend or discontinue or to change the operation of the Yield Services in any jurisdiction required by law or authorities, your Yield Account may be restricted for an indeﬁnite period of time until the matter is solved.

You shall be responsible for determining whether the use of the Yield Services is legal in your jurisdiction, and you shall not access or use the Yield Services if, to the best of your knowledge they are illegal in your jurisdiction. If you are uncertain on the legal status of Digital Assets in your jurisdiction, please seek independent advice from your legal advisor.

Risk of Loss of Value

The value of Digital Assets are affected by several factors, including but not limited to, the total number of Digital Assets in existence, the continued willingness of market participants to exchange Fiat Currencies for Digital Assets, purchasers’ expectations with respect to the rate of inﬂation of Fiat Currencies, purchasers’ expectations with respect to the rate of deﬂation of cryptocurrencies, interest rates, currency exchange rates, cyber theft of cryptocurrencies, or news of such theft from digital wallets, investment and trading activities of large investors, monetary policies of governments, trade restrictions, currency devaluations and revaluations, regulatory measures, the global or regional political, economic or ﬁnancial events and situations. Thus, all these factors shall affect the value of Digital Assets, which may result in the permanent partial or total loss of the value of a particular Digital Asset. No one shall be obliged to guarantee the liquidity or the market price of any of the Digital Assets deposited by you into a Yield account. The volatility and unpredictability of the value of Digital Assets relative to Fiat Currencies may result in a signiﬁcant loss over a short period of time.

Lending Risk

You do not have any oversight or control over the Digital Assets that you have lent to Yield, and, subject to the next sentence, any gain or loss from our activities will be borne by Yield and not you. However, if any entity or third party that Yield lends to defaults on its obligations to Yield then we may impose limits on your ability to use Yield or reduce the interest rates we are willing to pay. If our losses are large, we may become unable to meet our obligations to you in terms of repayment of Digital Assets back to you. Although we cannot remove this risk entirely, to reduce it we perform due diligence on all entities and third parties we deal with. In the worst case scenario, if Yield were to become unable to pay its debts as they fall due, you would become a general unsecured creditor of Yield, and you may not receive the same amount of Digital Assets as you have lent.

Taxation

The tax treatment of Digital Assets is uncertain, and it is your responsibility to determine whether taxes arise from your use of the Yield Services. You acknowledge and agree that Yield does not provide investment, legal or tax advice and that you shall be solely responsible for reporting and paying any applicable taxes arising from your use of the Yield Services. You understand and acknowledge that Yield may be required by Applicable Laws to report information to a tax or governmental authority regarding the transactions, payments, swaps, transfers or distributions made to you or by you. Yield may also withhold or add taxes applicable to your transactions on the Yield Platform to the extent that they are required by Applicable Laws.

The information we require to verify your identity may include, but is not limited to, your name, date of birth, country of birth, email address, residential address and contact information, username, phone number(s), government identiﬁcation numbers, government issued documents with the issue and expiry dates and other information collected during the Account registration process.

Unsuccessful identification of a person and verification of person’s identity data

In certain instances, whether to establish a business relationship between a User and Yield, to open a Yield Account and/or conclude a transaction on the Yield Platform, Users may be subject to Additional KYC in accordance with provisions of the Applicable Laws and the conditions set out in applicable laws and regulations. In addition, the User agrees that the identity verification, Additional KYC and the Yield Services shall be governed by Seychelles law.

User’s identity verification and Additional KYC will be unsuccessful in the following circumstances:

· The User intentionally submits data that does not correspond with the identification data entered in the identity document provided or does not coincide with the information or data obtained with other procedures;

· The Additional KYC session expires or is interrupted, the identification questionnaire or the interview or the Additional KYC session expires when the User has not completed any activity within 15 minutes;

· The information flow that transmits synchronised sound and image is not satisfactory to the Yield Services’ requirements;

· The User does not submit the required confirmations to the identity verification or Additional KYC;

· The User fails to comply with the instructions recognising the User’s face or identity documents;

· The User uses the assistance of another person without Yield’s permission; and

· There are suspicions regarding money laundering or terrorist financing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the identification of a person and verification of a person’s identity and residential location does not oblige Yield to establish a business relationship or guarantee access to Yield Services. If it is found that the User has intentionally submitted incorrect data which does not correspond to the identity documents provided or there are circumstances that give rise to suspicions of money laundering or terrorist financing, Yield may send a notice to the Seychelles Financial Intelligence Unit in accordance with the provisions of the Seychelles Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Finance of Terrorism Act 2020 (as amended).

Account Usage

Yield Accounts shall be used by account registrants and authorised persons only. In this regard, Yield reserves the right to suspend, freeze, or cancel the access or use of the Yield Services by any other persons other than the account registrant. If you suspect or become aware of any unauthorised access or use of your username and password, you shall notify Yield immediately. Yield shall have no liability for any losses or damages arising from the access or use of Yield Account by you or any third-party with or without your authorisation.

Prohibited Uses

Yield maintains a policy of strict regulatory compliance. Yield will not accept Digital Assets connected with the following: (i) "mixing" services which attempt to obfuscate the source of funds; (ii) peer-to-peer and other exchanges which do not perform KYC screening as part of their onboarding process; (iii) any amount of funds from gambling sites; and (iv) any amount of funds known to belong to darknet marketplaces.

Yield retains the right to freeze and/or close accounts and request that Users withdraw their Digital Assets immediately upon receipt of Digital Assets from such sources. Please note that any attempt to circumvent these policies will also result in similar action.

Account Security

Yield has been committed to maintaining the security of User entrusted funds and has implemented industry standard protection for the Yield Services. However, the actions of individual Users may pose risks. You shall agree to treat your access credentials (such as username and password) as conﬁdential information, and not disclose such information to any third-party. You also agree to be solely responsible for taking the necessary security measures to protect your Yield Account and personal information.

You should be solely responsible for safe keeping of your Yield Account and password and be responsible for all the transactions under your Yield Account. Yield assumes no liability for any loss or consequences caused by authorised or unauthorised use of your account credentials, including but not limited to information disclosure, information release, consent or submission of various rules and agreements by clicking on the website, and online agreement renewal.

By creating a Yield Account, you hereby agree that: (i) you will notify Yield immediately if you are aware of any unauthorised use of your Yield Account and password or any other violation of security rules; (ii) you will strictly abide by all mechanisms or procedures of Yield regarding security, authentication, trading, charging, and withdrawal; and (iii) you will take appropriate steps to log out from Yield at the end of each visit.

Personal Data

Your personal data will be properly protected and kept confidential in accordance with the terms of our Privacy Policy.

6. Yield Services

Upon successful completion of the registration and identity veriﬁcation for your Yield Account, you may use the Yield Services, including but not limited to exchange of Fiat to crypto and crypto to Fiat, referral programs, rewards and loyalty schemes, acquiring market-related data, research and other information released by Yield, participating in User activities held by Yield, in accordance with the provisions of these Terms (including Yield Platform Rules and other individual agreements). Yield has the right to:

· Provide, modify or terminate, in its discretion, any of the Yield Services based on its development plan; and

· allow or prohibit some Users’ use of any or all of the Yield Services in accordance with relevant Yield Platform Rules.

Our Services

Using the Yield Platform, you can: (i) use our custody services to hold your assets in custody; (ii) swap your existing assets from Fiat to Digital Assets or vice versa, or from one Digital Asset to another; (iii) enter into Yield Enhancement Products (as set out in Service Schedule A); (iv) lend Digital Assets to Yield (via our Earn, Lock or Stake services); (v) Fiat on-off ramps; and (vi) Angel Launchpad (as set out in Yield’s Angel Launchpad policy). We will use these lent Digital Assets for our own commercial purposes which may include us investing them with third party entities and in return, we will pay you a rate of interest (at rates published from time to time on the Yield Platform) in the same underlying Digital Assets that you lent to Yield and/or YLD Token. By lending your Digital Assets to Yield you grant Yield all rights and title to such Digital Assets to the fullest extent permitted by law, for Yield to use in its own discretion.

Acknowledgment of Yield’s Use of Digital Assets

You acknowledge and agree that you will not be able to exercise any rights of ownership in connection with the Digital Assets that have been lent to Yield, and Yield may receive compensation for its use of the Digital Assets lent by you, which you will have no claim or entitlement to.

Fees/Interest/Rewards and how these are calculated

Our fees and interest rates are as published on the Yield Platform and may be revised at any time at the sole discretion of Yield. We will notify you of changes to these rates by email or via the Yield Platform. You will be treated as accepting any change to the rate of interest unless you inform us you do not agree to the change, in which case you can withdraw your Digital Assets from Yield. All interest is automatically re-lent to Yield, and so is compounded over time. Our interest rates are paid in the same Digital Assets as that lent to Yield and/or rewarded in YLD Token. Any change in the value of Digital Assets lent to us is at your risk.

Withdrawals

Subject to these Terms and any relevant fixed lock-up term agreed by you and Yield, you have the right to demand complete or partial repayment of any loan at any time through a complete or partial withdrawal of the lent Digital Assets from your portfolio to your Wallet. Such repayments may be made and will terminate in whole or in part your loan to Yield within thirty (30) days from the date of withdrawal and you shall no longer accrue interest and/or rewards on such Digital Assets from the time of your withdrawal demand. Withdrawal of any lent Digital Assets prior to any specified term of lending published on the Yield Platform for such Digital Assets may result in forfeiting accrued interest and/or rewards.

Yield will automatically transfer an amount equal to the withdrawn lent Digital Assets from your portfolio to your Wallet within thirty (30) days of your withdrawal demand. Once transferred to your Wallet, the Digital Assets are available for withdrawal to a third party wallet of your choice or available to swap for other Digital Assets and re-lend to Yield. Until the date on which such Digital Assets are withdrawn to a third-party wallet, or designated by the User to another Yield Service, the Digital Assets continue to be lent to Yield for a period of up to thirty (30) days. Following the expiration of the thirty (30) day period, the loan for such assets will be terminated and the Digital Assets remaining in your Wallet will be held on a custody basis in accordance with these Terms.

Subject to any fixed lock-up term applicable to your lent Digital Assets, Yield aims to transfer the Digital Assets from the portfolio to your Wallet immediately and to initiate the withdrawal process to any third party wallet within 72 hours following a withdrawal request, but we may require up to thirty (30) days after you submit your withdrawal request to process any transfer. Users acknowledge and agree that where the User has designated Digital Assets to be subject to a fixed lock-up term, Yield shall not be required to process any withdrawal of the Digital Assets before the expiration of the lock-up term as agreed between the User and Yield on the Yield Platform. Lent Digital Assets are not available for transfer to a third party wallet until transferred from your portfolio to your Wallet. Only Digital Assets held in your Wallet may be transferred by withdrawal request to a wallet of your choice held with a third party.

In the event that the wallet address details you provide for withdrawal are inaccurate, incomplete or misleading, your Digital Assets may be permanently lost. If your Digital Assets are sent to the wrong deposit address or chain, these Digital Assets may or may not be recoverable and could incur additional fees depending on the recovery process. A minimum threshold of USD$500 per Digital Asset must be met before we will investigate the required recovery process.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not be liable for any loss that results from inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading details that you may provide for transferring your assets outside the Yield Platform. If the transfer address you specify is one to which we are unable to process transfers to, we will have no liability for any resulting failure or delay in processing your request to withdraw.

Withdrawal limits based on amount and/or frequency may apply from time to time as determined by Yield which may be based on legal, regulatory, AML and/ or security considerations. Our policies and procedures may require additional security and/or compliance checks that may need additional time to complete. Any individual request to increase withdrawal limits set by Yield must be sent via email to [email protected].

Every transfer request shall be deemed pending until processed. We may terminate such transfer or delay the processing of an approved withdrawal for any reasonable reason, including but not limited to inaccurate or misleading information provided by you, or any doubt or suspicion of fraud, misrepresentation, a sanctioned transaction, money laundering, terrorism financing or other financial crime related to your Yield Account or if requested to do so by a regulator, enforcement agency or regulatory body.

Forks and Airdrops

The underlying protocols of Digital Assets may be subject to substantial changes in their operating rules (these are called "Forks"), and these may alter the value or function of a Digital Asset. A Fork may result in multiple versions of a Digital Asset, leading to volatility as one version becomes dominant over another, which may lose its value.

There may be distributions made to holders of a particular Digital Asset, for example of a new variant of a Digital Asset (this is called an "Airdrop").

We will assess at our sole discretion whether we support a Fork or Airdrop. If we support a Fork or Airdrop, we will make an announcement through the Yield Platform. If we do not support an Airdrop or Fork, we will not claim it for our own benefit (unless this is unavoidable or impractical), and you acknowledge and agree that we will not claim it on your behalf either.

Yield Lock-Up Terms

Yield’s lock-up service allows Users to designate certain Digital Assets as ‘locked-up’ for a selected fixed period as specified and published on the Yield Platform from time to time in return for the User receiving a higher rate of interest for such Digital Assets (the "Locked-Up Digital Assets"). Where you choose to click “Earn” or “Lock” and a specific lock-up period, a new loan will be entered into between you and Yield in relation to the Locked-Up Digital Assets subject to these Terms and the relevant interest rates, rewards tiers and lock-up periods published on the Yield Platform and as selected by the User.

Any Locked-Up Digital Assets designated by you to receive interest and rewards constitute a loan from you to Yield in accordance with these Terms and the terms published on the Yield Platform. By lending your Locked-Up Digital Assets to Yield you grant Yield all rights and title to such Locked-Up Digital Assets, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for Yield to use in its own discretion and as further set out in these Terms.

You acknowledge and agree that you will not be able to exercise any rights of ownership in connection with the Locked-Up Digital Assets that have been lent to Yield, and Yield may receive compensation for its use of the Locked-Up Digital Assets lent by you, which you will have no claim or entitlement to. You further acknowledge that, prior to the expiration of the selected lock-up period, you will not have any rights to access or swap the Locked-Up Digital Assets and that you may not withdraw any of the Locked-Up Digital Assets to your Wallet or to a wallet of a third party and Yield shall have no liability or obligation to transfer any Locked-Up Digital Assets except as set out in these Terms and as published on the Yield Platform.

Lock-Up Transactions are Final

All lock-up transactions are final and irreversible once approved by you.

You should therefore carefully review the terms of each transaction before you approve it.

Yield is not liable for any errors in your order. If you believe a transaction was executed not in accordance with your instructions, please contact [email protected].

We may reject or cancel a lock-up transaction where we deem it reasonably necessary.

Swaps

Yield’s swap service allows Users to swap Digital Assets or Fiat through the Yield Platform either by Yield App SRL or the Third Party Service Providers. The swap service allows Users to swap: (i) Digital Assets owned by a User for other selected Digital Assets; (ii) Fiat owned by a User for selected Digital Assets; and (iii) swap Digital Assets owned by a User for selected Fiat. By using the swap feature, you will be exchanging your selected Digital Asset or Fiat, in your chosen amount, for the equivalent amount in the new Digital Asset or selected Fiat. For Fiat to Digital Assets swaps (or vice-versa), these services will be subject to a minimum value threshold and compliance approval.

When a User submits a swap order via the Yield Platform, the User authorises Yield to record a swap transaction to your Yield Wallet address, and where applicable, a fee may be levied with the transaction.

Yield may change the fee structure from time to time, changes to fees are effective as of the effective date indicated in the posting of the revision of these Terms and/or notified through the website, platform or email communication and will apply to any transfers that take place following the effective date of such revised fee structure.

Yield Swap Terms

Yield’s swap service allows Users to exchange certain Digital Assets or Fiat available in your Wallet, or that you loaned to Yield as part of the Earn, Lock or Stake service, for another type of Digital Asset or Fiat, provided that the exchange is of a Digital Asset or Fiat pair supported by Yield and any, if applicable, loaned Digital Assets are first withdrawn by the User from the earn, lock or stake account and available in the User’s Wallet. Yield may choose to add, remove, change or impose any additional limits on supported pairs from time to time, in its sole discretion and without providing prior notice.

For the Digital Assets or Fiat available in your Wallet, you may use the swap service and Yield will remove the chosen Digital Assets or Fiat from your Yield Account balance and exchange them into the type of Digital Asset (the “Swapped Digital Assets”) or Fiat (the “Swapped Fiat”) you choose to receive. To use Yield's swap feature for lent Digital Assets, you must first terminate your loan of Digital Assets to Yield under the Earn, Lock or Stake service by withdrawing the chosen Digital Assets to your Wallet, subject to any applicable lock-up term and the thirty (30) day loan period.

Once you choose to click “Earn”, “Lock” or “Stake” on the Swapped Digital Assets, a new loan will then be entered into between you and Yield for the Swapped Digital Assets subject to these Terms and the relevant interest rates, rewards tiers and lock-up periods published on the Yield Platform from time to time and as selected by you. Any Swapped Digital Assets designated by you to receive interest and rewards constitute a loan from you to Yield in accordance with these Terms as published on the Yield Platform. By lending your Swapped Digital Assets to Yield you grant Yield all rights and title to such Swapped Digital Assets, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for Yield to use in its own discretion and as further set out in these Terms.

The amount of Swapped Digital Assets or Swapped Fiat to be received in exchange for the chosen Digital Assets or Fiat is determined by the amount of chosen available Digital Assets or Fiat multiplied by the applicable conversion rate of the relevant Swapped Digital Asset or Swapped Fiat pair (the "Exchange Rate").

Exchange Rates

Yield seeks to source the best rates for a supported pair across multiple venues. However, we cannot guarantee that the Exchange Rates offered on our platform are always the most optimal, and you are advised to check if a better rate is available on another platform. The Exchange Rates quoted may include an offset from the prevailing market rate (also known as ‘the spread’) to mitigate Yield’s exposure to price volatility between the time the Exchange Rate is confirmed and the time the transaction is executed.

Any conversion between a Digital Asset or Fiat and another Digital Asset or Fiat shall be made by us or the relevant Third Party Service Provider in accordance with the rates and prices applicable at the actual time of conversion. Applicable rates are indexed to those used by industry-leading platforms, as Yield may choose to use from time to time, in its sole discretion. We may change our rate sources at any time and without giving notice or updating these Terms, and you shall not have any claims regarding our choice of rate sources or rates used by Yield or made available by any Third Party Service Provider.

Exchange Rates available on our platform are moment-in-time specific, and due to the volatility in crypto markets, change constantly and rapidly. An Exchange Rate is only final when you approve the transaction and it has been accepted and confirmed.

Swap Transactions are Final

All swap transactions are final and irreversible once approved by you.

You should therefore carefully review the terms of each transaction before you approve it.

Yield is not liable for any errors in your order. If you believe a transaction was executed not in accordance with your instructions, please contact [email protected].

We may reject or cancel a swap transaction where we deem it reasonably necessary, including without limitation: where there was an error in the Exchange Rate or in the execution of the transaction; where the quoted Exchange Rate is no longer available; or where rejected or cancelled by any Third Party Service Provider.

Execution

Each swap transaction is entered into between you and Yield (as buyer or seller, as applicable), and Yield does not act as your broker, agent or intermediary.

By entering into any swap transaction for Digital Assets already designated as earning rewards, you agree, instruct and authorise Yield to terminate your current loan and temporarily hold your chosen Digital Assets in custody. You further authorise Yield to exchange the Digital Assets in its custody for another type of Digital Asset as selected by you, and Yield accepts any new loan from you of the Swapped Digital Assets subject to these Terms and the terms and conditions of the relevant Yield Service as published on the Yield Platform from time to time.

During periods of high volume, illiquidity, or volatility in the marketplace for any Digital Asset, the actual market rate at which a trade is executed may be different from the prevailing rate indicated at the time of your order or trade. You acknowledge and agree that Yield is not liable for any such price fluctuations. In the event of a market disruption or Force Majeure event, Yield may suspend access to the swap service and/or prevent you from completing any actions via the swap services. Following any such event, you understand that prevailing market rates when trading resumes may differ significantly from the rates available prior to such event.

Representations and Warranties

By using the swap service, you represent and warrant to Yield that:

· The information provided by you to Yield, including but not limited to regarding your place of residence, is accurate and up-to-date;

· You are using Yield’s swap feature solely for your own personal purposes, and not on behalf of any other person or for business purposes outside the scope of these Terms and your business relationship with Yield;

· You are aware of, and can withstand, the risks involved in holding, using and trading digital assets, and you have read and understood our Risk Disclosure;

· You are not using borrowed assets or assets of any third party for the purpose of using our swap services;

· You will be solely responsible for all tax reporting and payment obligations which may apply to you as a result of using the swap services; and

· Your use of the swap services shall be at all times in full compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to you, and you shall not use it for any illegal purposes, including but not limited to activities involving financial crime, money laundering or terrorism financing, or the proceeds thereof.

Any breach of these representations and warranties by you shall constitute a breach of your agreement with Yield and its Third Party Service Providers, and may result in, among other legal action, the termination of your Yield Account.

Custody

These Swap Terms and your use of any of our Services does not create a fiduciary relationship between Yield and you. We will hold your Digital Assets or Fiat in custody for your benefit as part of the swap service for the period of time required for the purpose of completing your swap transaction and, if applicable, prior to any new loan of such Digital Assets to Yield. Yield does not have ownership rights over the Digital Assets or Fiat you place in its custody for the purposes of exchanging them. You will be considered the legal owner of the Digital Assets or Fiat in Yield’s custody when engaged in a swap transaction. Yield may hold such Digital Assets or Fiat, while in custody, in an omnibus account, together with the Digital Assets or Fiat of other swap Users or Yield. We keep an internal record of the Digital Assets or Fiat held on each User’s behalf while in such omnibus accounts. Digital Assets (until loaned to Yield under the Earn, Lock or Stake service or deemed on loan within the thirty (30) day period), or Fiat, will not be rehypothecated by Yield while held in Yield’s custody.

Each of these representations and warranties shall survive and continue to have full force and effect after the execution of these Terms. Yield makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee to you of any kind. Yield Platform and the Yield Services are offered strictly on an as-is basis and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, are offered without any representation as to merchantability or ﬁtness for any particular purpose.

8. Risk Disclosure

In addition to the risks noted in Section 2 above, the following gives further information on certain risks relating to Digital Assets and the Yield Services.

We do not give any advice, warranty, guarantee or representation about the visibility of Yield or the Yield Services and if you are unsure as to whether Yield is suitable or appropriate to you, you should ask an advisor to give you independent expert advice. We set out below some of the risks of using the Yield Services. Whilst we might seek to mitigate these risks, we are not responsible for any loss to you if they materialise. By accessing or using the Yield Services, you expressly acknowledge and assume the risks as follows:

General

Yield does not provide any legal, tax or financial advice and you are strongly advised to obtain legal, tax and financial advice before using Yield services. Yield is not your bank, broker, intermediary, agent, or legal advisor and there is no ﬁduciary relationship or obligation to you in connection with any trades or decisions or activities affected by you using the Yield Services.

No communication or information provided to you by Yield is intended as or shall be considered or construed as investment advice, ﬁnancial advice, trading advice, legal advice, or any other sort of advice. Unless otherwise speciﬁed in these Terms, all trades are executed automatically based on the parameters of your order instructions and in accordance with posted trade execution procedures, and you shall be solely responsible for determining whether any service, investment, investment strategy or related transaction is appropriate for you according to your personal investment objectives, ﬁnancial circumstances and risk tolerance. You shall be solely responsible for any loss or liability therefrom.

Before utilising any service or making any investment decisions, you should conduct your own due diligence and consult with your independent ﬁnancial, legal or tax professionals. Yield shall not be liable for the decisions you make to access or use the Yield Services.

Regulatory Risk

The regulatory framework on Digital Assets and the Yield Services is still developing and future regulatory changes may require us to make changes which could have an impact on our ability to provide the Yield Services in the future.

Yield Export Controls & Sanctions

The services provided by Yield may be subject to international export controls and economic sanctions requirements including but not limited to the sanctions laws and regulations administered by the United Nations Security Council, the United States Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security, the United States Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control, the European Union’s Council of Europe, the United Kingdom’s HM Treasury and Singapore’s Monetary Authority (the "Sanctions Authorities") and all other applicable sanctions laws and regulations in all jurisdictions in which Yield, or its customers, operates. By accessing or engaging the Yield Services you represent, warrant, and agree that you will comply with those requirements.

Prohibited Use

In addition to Yield’s Eligibility criteria as outlined in Section 5 above, you are not permitted to access any of the Yield Services, including but not limited to, the lending of Digital Assets, withdrawals and Yield’s swap features, if:

· You are a person or legal entity, or are under the control of a person or legal entity, that is incorporated or established under the law of, or a national or resident of Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, Russia or any other country subject to comprehensive sanctions ("Sanctions Regime") imposed by Sanctions Authorities (as may be updated from time to time).

· You are a person or legal entity subject to economic sanctions issued by Sanctions Authorities (a "Sanctioned Person").

By accessing or engaging the Yield Services you agree that Yield may use your name and personal information to determine whether you or any transactions involving you are subject to economic sanctions under the Sanctions Authorities.

Conditional Use

Yield retains the right, in its sole discretion, to monitor, review, investigate, suspend, restrict, freeze, withdraw, reject and/or cancel any of part of your access to the Yield Services including, but not limited to, the lending of Digital Assets, withdrawals, swaps, or transactions that Yield deems or suspects are in violation of any international export control laws and regulations or Sanctions Authorities.

Yield further retains the right to block, restrict, freeze, reject, or otherwise restrict funds and/or accounts belonging to or controlled by Sanctioned Persons. In the event that Yield deems or suspects that your accessing of the Yield Services is in breach of any international export control laws or Sanctions Authorities, whether directly or indirectly, Yield reserves the right to report any such breach, and may disclose all information relevant to a transaction, whether attempted or completed, to the applicable Sanctions Authority, the Seychelles Financial Intelligence Unit, and/or other governmental agencies as may be necessary. For the avoidance of doubt, Yield reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to take any actions to cooperate with the aforementioned agencies in adherence with the Sanctions Authorities.

Cancellation/Withdrawal

Your right to withdraw or cancel your account or any transactions with Yield in accordance with Section 6 is subject to applicable laws and sanctions which Yield is required to comply with.

Third Party Service Providers

Yield utilises Third Party Service Providers to perform or to assist us in providing the Yield Services. You agree and understand that Yield will not be liable to you for any loss or damage, of any sort incurred as the result of such dealings. You understand that your use of Third Party Service Providers and your interactions with such third parties is at your own risk.

You acknowledge that we cannot guarantee, nor are we in any way responsible for, the acts or omissions of third parties including, without limitation, any Third Party Service Provider or for the performance of their products or services that may relate or otherwise be relevant to the Yield Services. Such products and services are made available (directly or indirectly) by such third parties and we do not make any express or implied warranties or conditions, including quality, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. You expressly agree that we shall not be held liable for and you assume the risk of any matters arising out of or relating to the actions and omissions of such third parties or their products and services.

Technical and System Failure

Yield and/or its Third Party Service Providers may experience system failures, unplanned interruptions in its network or services, hardware or software defects, security breaches or other causes that could adversely affect Yield's infrastructure network, which includes the website.

Yield is unable to anticipate when there would be the occurrence of hacks, cyber-attacks, mining attacks, including but not limited to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks and selﬁsh-mining attacks, distributed denials of services or errors, vulnerabilities or defects in Yield.App, YLD Token, Users' accounts, Users' wallets or any technology, including but not limited to smart contract technology. Also, Yield is unable to detect these hacks as mentioned earlier, mining attacks, cyber-attacks, distributed denials of services errors, vulnerabilities or defects in a timely manner and does not have sufﬁcient resources to efﬁciently cope with multiple services incidents happening simultaneously or in rapid succession.

In addition, Yield's network or Services, including the Yield Platform, could be disrupted by numerous events, including natural disasters, equipment breakdown, network connectivity downtime, power losses, or even intentional disruptions of its services, such as disruptions caused by software viruses or attacks by unauthorised users, some of which are beyond Yield's control.

Although Yield has taken steps against malicious attacks on its appliances or its infrastructure, which are critical for the maintenance of the Yield Platform and its Services, there can be no assurance that cyber-attacks, such as distributed denials of service, shall not be attempted in the future, and that Yield's enhanced security measures shall be effective. Any signiﬁcant breach of Yield's security measures or other disruptions resulting in a compromise of the usability, stability and security of Yield's network or Services, including the Yield Platform, may adversely affect the YLD Tokens.

Yield shall have no liability for any delay, error, interruption or failure to perform any obligation under these Terms where the delay or failure is directly or indirectly resulting from any causes beyond Yield's control, including but not limited to; acts of God, nature, court of government; failure or interruption in public or private telecommunication networks, communication channels or information system; acts or omission of acts of a party for whom we are not responsible; delay, failure or interruption in, or unavailability of, third-party services; and strikes, lockouts, employment disputes, wars, terrorist acts and riots.

You understand and agree that you use the Yield Services at your own risk. This Section is not exhaustive and does not disclose all the risks associated with Digital Assets and the use of the Yield Services. Therefore, you are recommended to carefully consider whether such use is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial position.

Limitation of Liability

Notwithstanding any provisions in these Terms, in no event, shall either Party be liable to the other for any type of incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, indirect or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost revenue, lost proﬁts, loss of your credential information (username and password), replacement goods, loss of technology, loss of data, or interruption of loss of use of service or equipment, even if such Party was advised of the possibility of such damages, and whether arising under a theory of contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise. Yield shall also have no liability for your emergency and unforeseeable incidents related to your use of the Yield Services such as stolen passwords or hacked accounts.

Neither we nor any of our agents shall be liable for (i) the management or performance of your Digital Assets (including any reduction in the value); and (ii) any taxes or duties payable in respect of your Digital Assets.

Except as expressly provided in these Terms, to the maximum extent permitted by any Applicable Laws, we disclaim all other representations or warranties, express or implied, made to you, your afﬁliates or any other person, including without limitation any warranties regarding the quality, suitability, merchantability, ﬁtness for a particular purpose or otherwise (regardless of any course of dealing, custom or usage of trade) of any service or any goods provided incidental to the Yield Services under these Terms.

Our liabilities in respect of representations and warranties that are excluded under these Terms, at our option, is limited to any one of resupplying, replacing or repairing or paying the cost of the resupplying, replacement or repairing or paying the cost of resupplying the services in respect of which the breach occurred. In no event will our aggregate liability for any loss or damage arising in connection with the Yield Services exceed the fees you paid to Yield for your use of the Yield Services, if any, during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim for liability. The foregoing limitations of liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by any Applicable Laws.

Indemnity

You irrevocably undertake to fully indemnify and hold harmless each of the Yield Operators, Yield’s Third Party Service Providers, and any other Yield entity and each of their afﬁliates, contractors, licensors and their respective shareholders, ofﬁcers, directors, employees and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns, promptly upon demand at any time during your use of the Yield Services, from and against any and all losses, claims, actions, proceedings, damages, demands, judgements, sums, liabilities, damages, costs, charges and expenses, including but not limited to, any reasonable attorney's fees, or penalties imposed by any regulatory authority, and reimbursements arising out of or related to the following situations:

· Your use of, or conduct in accordance with the Yield Services;

· Your breach of or our enforcement of these Terms; and

· Your violations of any Applicable Laws, regulation, or rights of any third party during your use of the Yield Services.

If you are obligated to indemnify any of the Yield Operators, its or their afﬁliates, contractors, licensors and their respective shareholders, ofﬁcers, directors, employees, any agent, Third Party Service Providers and their respective successors, heirs and assigns, Yield shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to control any action or proceeding and to determine whether Yield wishes to proceed, or settle, and if so, on what terms or provisions.

Yield Set off and Security Interest Rights

By using Yield Services, you grant Yield a security interest in any and all Digital Assets that you lend to Yield for any debts, amounts owed, or liabilities to us, Yield Operators, any of our affiliates or Third Party Service Providers by you or any of your Authorised Representatives, if any ("Obligations"). Obligations may include both secured and unsecured debts, and Obligations you owe individually or together with someone else, including Obligations under other transactions or agreements between you and Yield, Yield Operators or any of our affiliates or Third Party Service Providers.

Yield may also take or set off from any Digital Assets held in your Yield Account, including any of your Digital Assets in your Wallet, custody, or using the swap service, or deduct from any obligations Yield may have to you, any direct, indirect or acquired Obligations that you owe to us, Yield Operators, our affiliates or Third Party Service Providers. These rights are in addition to all other rights we may have to use, transfer, or charge any assets or balance in your Yield Account (including your Wallet) for Obligations you owe to us, Yield Operators, our affiliates or Third Party Service Providers pursuant to these Terms.

Your acceptance of these Terms serves as your consent to Yield asserting its security interest or exercising its rights of set off should any laws governing your Yield Account require your consent. If the law restricts our ability to take, transfer, or set off from any obligations to you, or if your Yield Account balance is protected from any attachment, levy, or legal process, you agree to waive those conditions and limits to the fullest extent that you may do so by contract, and you authorise us to take any actions to offset your Obligations against any Digital Assets in your Yield Account.

We hereby agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event that Yield breaches its obligations under these Terms, you may set off Digital Assets or amounts we owe to you with respect to your Yield Account, against your Obligations. If the law restricts your ability to take, transfer, or set off our obligations to you, or if they are protected from any attachment, levy, or legal process, we waive those conditions and limits to the full extent that we may do so by contract, and we authorise you to apply our obligations to you to your Obligations.

Any set off transactions applicable to a User’s Account will be recorded in the account statement which is available to view in the User’s ‘Transaction’ section on the Yield Platform. Users may request further information regarding any set off transactions via our website.

Conflicts and Disputes involving your Account

Yield is not liable to you for third party claims on your account and Yield may take any action authorised or permitted by these Terms and Applicable Laws without being liable to you, even if such action causes you to incur fees, expenses or damages.

If your account is subject to third party claims, or if Yield receives conflicting instructions from authorised signatories of your account, or if Yield becomes involved in or concerned with a dispute between you and an authorised signatory, Yield has discretion to act as it sees fit, including but not limited to closing your Yield Account and returning an amount equal to the Digital Assets which you have lent to Yield. In such event, you will be liable for all expenses and fees that Yield incurs in connection with the conflict or dispute, including Yield’s internal costs and legal costs, and Yield may charge the costs to your Yield Account.

Account Suspension and Termination

These Terms shall be immediately terminated by closing your Yield Account and discontinuing your use of the Yield Services. These Terms and the Yield Services can be terminated with or without notice by Yield if there are reasonable grounds to believe that you breach any terms or provisions stipulated in these Terms, Applicable Laws, or you do not comply with these Terms. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Yield may, in its sole discretion and without liability to you, with or without prior notice and at any time, modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any portion of the Yield Services available to you.

In the event that your suspended or closed Yield Account has an outstanding balance, you shall be entitled to recover the relevant Digital Assets, together with the interest accrued up until the date on which your account has been suspended or closed, unless Yield is prohibited by any Applicable Laws or a court order to release such, including but not limited to, the case where Yield has reasonable ground to suspect that Digital Assets or the funds used for the purchase of Digital Assets were obtained through fraud, illegal means, or connected with any criminal activities.

The termination of these Terms shall not prevent Yield from seeking any remedies from you in the case where you breach any terms or provisions before such termination.

Any of your ongoing obligations under these Terms, and the provisions regarding (i) Yield's Intellectual Property (ii) Indemnity (iii) Limitation of Liability and (iv) any other provisions designed to survive, will survive any termination or expiration of the Terms for any reason.

Additionally, Yield may provide notices through publishing on its website. You undertake to refer to these materials regularly and promptly.

Any notice required or made under these Terms by you to Yield shall only be made through the Yield Website Support section.

Conﬁdentiality

Subject to the Privacy Policy, you hereby expressly and irrevocably permit and authorise Yield, its employees, and/or any other persons authorised by Yield Operators to disclose all information provided by you to Yield for any purposes stipulated in these Terms.

However, the conﬁdentiality obligation shall not apply to the followings:

· any information which becomes generally known to the public, other than by reason of any wilful or negligent act or omission of Yield or any of their respective representatives;

The obligations contained in this Section shall endure, even after the termination of your account or discontinuing the Yield Services in accordance with and as permitted by the provisions of these Terms, within six (6) years after terminating your Yield Account except and until any conﬁdential information enters the public domain.

9. Governing Law, Resolving Disputes, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Please read this Section carefully as it requires you to arbitrate disputes with us and it involves a waiver of certain rights to bring legal proceedings, including as a class action.

Governing Law

These terms, their subject matter and their formation, and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them are governed by English Law.

Notice of Claim and Dispute Resolution Period

Please contact Yield ﬁrst! Yield wants to address your concerns without resorting to formal legal proceedings, if possible. If you have a dispute with Yield, then you should contact Yield and a case number will be assigned. Yield will attempt to resolve your dispute internally as soon as possible. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute (which discussions shall remain conﬁdential and be subject to applicable rules protecting settlement discussions from use as evidence in any legal proceeding).

In the event the dispute cannot be resolved satisfactorily, and you wish to assert a legal claim against Yield, then you agree to set forth the basis of such claim in writing in a "Notice of Claim", as a form of prior notice to Yield. The Notice of Claim must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, (ii) set forth the speciﬁc relief sought, (iii) provide the original ticket number, and (iv) include the email address you used to register for a Yield Account. The Notice of Claim should be submitted via email or using a hyperlink provided in your correspondence with Yield. After you have provided the Notice of Claim to Yield, the dispute referenced in the Notice of Claim may be submitted by either Yield or you to arbitration in accordance with the paragraph below.

For the avoidance of doubt, the submission of a dispute to Yield for resolution internally and the delivery of a Notice of Claim to Yield are prerequisites to commencement of an arbitration proceeding (or any other legal proceeding). During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Yield shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.

Agreement to Arbitrate

You and Yield Operators agree that, subject to the paragraph above, any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Yield arising in connection with or relating in any way to these Terms or to your relationship with Yield (and/or Yield Operators) as a user of the Yield Services (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms) will be determined by mandatory ﬁnal and binding individual (not class) arbitration.

You and Yield further agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including without limitation any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the Agreement to Arbitrate, or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration and court review of an arbitration award is limited and there may be more limited discovery than in court.

The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including, if applicable, attorney fees), except that the arbitrator may not award declaratory or injunctive relief beneﬁting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. The arbitration provisions set forth in this Section will survive termination of these Terms.

Arbitration Rules

The arbitration shall be subject to the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the "ICC") then in force (the "ICC Rules"). The arbitration will be administered by the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC. Unless the parties agree otherwise, there shall be only one arbitrator appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules. Any arbitration will be conducted in the English language, unless otherwise required by a mandatory law of a member state of the European Union or any other jurisdiction. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufﬁcient to explain the essential ﬁndings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. Judgment on any arbitral award may be given in any court having jurisdiction over the party (or over the assets of the party) against whom such an award is rendered.

Limitation Period

Any arbitration against Yield Operators must be commenced by filing a request for arbitration within one-year starting from the date which the claimant first knows or reasonably should know of the act, omission or default giving rise to the claim, and if no claim has been filed within the one-year period then there shall be no right to any remedy for that claim. The one-year period includes the internal dispute procedure above. If the one-year limitation period to proceed with a claim is prohibited under the Applicable Law, then the claim must be asserted within the shortest time permitted by that Applicable Law.

Notice

The party who intends to seek arbitration after the expiration of the Dispute Resolution Period set forth in the limitation period paragraph above, must submit a request to the ICC in accordance with the ICC Rules. If we request arbitration against you, we will give you notice at the email address or mailing address you have provided. You agree that any notice sent to this email or mailing address shall be deemed effective for all purposes, including without limitation to determinations of adequacy of service. It is your obligation to ensure that the email address and/or mailing address on ﬁle with Yield is up-to-date and accurate.

Seat of Arbitration

The seat of arbitration shall be Singapore and the location of any in-person hearing shall be Singapore, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.

Governing law of Arbitration

The governing law of arbitration proceedings shall be English Law.

Confidentiality

The parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept conﬁdential. The existence of the arbitration, any non-public information provided in the arbitration, and any submissions, orders or awards made in the arbitration (together, the "Conﬁdential Information") shall not be disclosed to any non-party except the tribunal, the ICC, the parties, their counsel, experts, witnesses, accountants and auditors, insurers and reinsurers, and any other person necessary to the conduct of the arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may disclose Conﬁdential Information to the extent that disclosure may be required to fulfil a legal duty, protect or pursue a legal right, or enforce or challenge an award in bona fide legal proceedings. This confidentiality provision shall survive termination of these Terms and any arbitration brought pursuant to these Terms.

Class Action Waiver

You and Yield agree that any claims relating to these Terms or to your relationship with Yield as a user of the Yield Services shall be brought against the other party in an arbitration on an individual basis only and not as a plaintiff or class member in a purported class or representative action. You and Yield further agree to waive any right for such claims to be brought, heard, or arbitrated as a class, collective, representative, or private attorney general action, to the extent permissible by applicable law. Combining or consolidating individual arbitrations into a single arbitration is not permitted without the consent of all parties, including Yield.

Modiﬁcations

Yield reserves the right to update, modify, revise, suspend, or make any future changes to the agreement to arbitrate paragraph above regarding the parties’ Agreement to Arbitrate, subject to applicable law. You hereby consent and agree that it is your responsibility to ensure that your understanding of this Section is up to date. Subject to the applicable law, your continued use of your Yield Account shall be deemed to be your acceptance of any modiﬁcations regarding the parties’ Agreement to Arbitrate. You agree that if you object to the modiﬁcations to this Section, Yield may block access to your Yield Account pending closure of your Yield Account. In such circumstances, the Terms of Conditions prior to modiﬁcation shall remain in full force and effect pending closure of your Yield Account.

10. Miscellaneous

Severability

If any provisions of these terms are found by the court of competent authorities to be invalid, void, unlawful or unenforceable under any applicable law, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render these Terms unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and such provisions shall be deleted without affecting the remaining provisions herein.

Force Majeure

Yield will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform as required by these Terms because of any cause or condition beyond Yield’s reasonable control.

Variation of Terms

We reserve the right to modify or amend these Terms, the website or any Content on the website from time to time, including for security, legal or regulatory reasons, to reﬂect updates or changes to the service or functionality of the website. You are advised to check these Terms periodically to ensure that you are aware of and are complying with the current versions. Changes are binding on users of the website and will take effect immediately from posting of the revised documentation on the website. You agree to be bound by such variation and your continued use of the website, tools and information made available shall constitute your acceptance of such variation.

Yield Operators

Under these Terms, Yield Operators may change as Yield’s business adjusts, in which case, the changed Operators shall perform their obligations under these Terms with you and provide services to you, and such change does not affect your rights and interest under these Terms. Additionally, the scope of Yield Operators may be expanded due to the provision of new Yield Services, in which case, if you continue to use the Yield Services, it is deemed that you have agreed to jointly execute these Terms with the newly added Yield Operators. In case of a dispute, you shall determine the entity by which these Terms are performed with you and the counterparties of the dispute, depending on the specific circumstances you used and particular action that affects your right or interest.

Assignment

Yield shall be allowed to assign, transfer, or subcontract its rights and/or obligations under these Terms without any notiﬁcation or consent. You shall not be permitted to assign, transfer, or subcontract any of your rights and/or obligations under these Terms.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, as amended from time to time, General Terms, Service Schedules, the Privacy Policy, any rules contained on Yield Platform and all other agreements, constitute the sole and entire agreement between Yield and you with respect to your use of Yield Platform and supersede other prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions, agreements, understandings, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, between Yield and you with respect to such subject matter.

No Third Party Rights

Nothing in these Terms shall be deemed to create any rights in any creditors or other persons, not a party hereto, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise, and these Terms shall not be construed in any respect to be a contract in whole or in part for the beneﬁt of any third parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Yield Operator shall have the right rely on and enforce these Terms as if it were an original party hereto.

Electronic Signatures

You agree that you may tender your signatures to be binding with these Terms and use the Yield Services by electronic means, such as by email or by an online e-signature platform. The parties agree that their digital signature or other forms of electronic acknowledgement, click-wrap agreement, consent, or acceptance, as the case may be constitutes their signature, acceptance, and agreement of these Terms and has the same force and effect as a signature afﬁxed by hand.

Waiver

The failure of one party to require performance of any provision shall not affect that party's right to require performance at any time thereafter. At the same time, the waiver of one party to seek recovery for the other party's violation of these Terms of any provisions of applicable terms shall not constitute a waiver by that party of any subsequent breach or violation by the other party or of the provision itself.
