TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF TOKEN SALE AND USE
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF TOKEN SALE AND USE CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCESSING THE WEBSITE LOCATED AT HTTPS://T.ME/YUMPARTY_BOT/PRESALE (THE “WEBSITE”) OR THE YUM PARTY APPLICATION (DEFINED BELOW) OR PURCHASING TOKENS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PURCHASING THE TOKENS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND AGREE TO ASSUME SUCH RISKS UPON ANY PURCHASE OF TOKENS. IN ADDITION, NOTE THAT THESE TERMS CONTAIN A BINDING CLASS ACTION WAIVER, WHICH, IF APPLICABLE TO YOU, AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT PURCHASE THE TOKENS DESCRIBED HEREIN.
The following Terms and Conditions of Token Sale and Use (these “Terms”) form an agreement between YUMS FOUNDATION BVI, a BVI company that is in the process of incorporation (the “Company” or “we”) and you, or the entity you represent, (“you” or the “Purchaser”) and contain the terms and conditions pursuant to which you will purchase cryptographic Jettons on TON (The Open Network) blockchain with the symbol ‘YUMS’ and named ‘Yums’ (the “Tokens” and each a “Token”) from the Company. You and the Company are each a “Party” and, together, the “Parties” to these Terms. This document describes the Token sale (the “Token Sale”) and your rights as a Token holder.
Prior to purchasing Tokens, you should carefully consider these Terms. By clicking the checkboxes and the Submit button on the web application to purchase YUMS, you agree and accept to be bound by these Terms and any terms incorporated hereafter. If you have any questions regarding these Terms, please contact the Company at support@yumparty.com. If any of these Terms are unacceptable to you, do not purchase the Tokens.
Prior to purchasing Tokens, you should carefully consider these Terms and, to the extent necessary, consult a lawyer, accountant, and/or tax professional, as applicable.
Purchases of Tokens should be undertaken only by individuals or companies that have significant experience with, and understanding of, the usage and intricacies of cryptographic tokens, including Jettons on TON-based tokens and blockchain-based software systems. Purchasers should have an expert understanding of the storage and transmission mechanisms associated with cryptographic tokens. While the Company will be available to assist the Purchaser of Tokens during the Token Sale, the Company will not be responsible in any way for loss of any cryptocurrency, including Tokens, resulting from actions taken by, or omitted by, the Purchaser. If you do not have such experience or expertise, then you should not purchase Tokens or participate in the Token Sale. Your participation in the Token Sale is deemed to be your understanding and acknowledgment that you satisfy the requirements mentioned in this paragraph.
As further described herein, by purchasing Tokens, and to the extent permitted by law, you agree to not hold the Company or its respective past, present, and future employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants, equity holders, suppliers, vendors, service providers, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, representatives, predecessors, successors and/or designees liable for any losses or any special, incidental, or consequential damages arising from, or in any way connected, to the sale of Tokens, including losses associated with these Terms.
You acknowledge, understand, and agree that:
You are subject to and bound by these Terms by virtue of purchasing the Tokens.
The Tokens have no rights, intended uses, or attributes outside of use with the Yum Party Application or as otherwise expressly referred to in these Terms.
A purchase of Tokens is non-refundable and cannot be cancelled.
A purchase of Tokens involves many, varied risks which can result in the loss of all amounts paid.
The Company reserves the right to refuse or cancel Token purchase requests at any time in its sole and absolute discretion.
The Tokens are not backed by any physical bullion or other assets which a Purchaser would have any rights or access to.
Certain persons, including persons who commit to purchasing Tokens earlier than you, may receive more Tokens from the Company for the same amount paid. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may, at its sole discretion and without prior consultation, offer Tokens at any price point and/or on any terms that it deems reasonable or advantageous in the circumstances.
These Terms limit the liability of the Company and its Associated Parties (defined below) in connection with the sale of Tokens.
You have reviewed to your satisfaction all supporting collaterals concerning the risks associated with purchasing Tokens, including but not limited to the extensive Risk Factors section within the Confidential Offering Memorandum.
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS SHALL BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A PROSPECTUS OF ANY SORT, A SOLICITATION FOR INVESTMENT, OR INVESTMENT ADVICE NOR DOES IT IN ANY WAY PERTAIN TO AN OFFERING OR A SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY ANY SECURITIES IN ANY JURISDICTION. TO THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE COMPANY AND YUMS FOUNDATION (COLLECTIVELY, THE “ASSOCIATED PARTIES” AND EACH AN “ASSOCIATED PARTY”) EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DIRECT OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR OTHER LOSSES OF ANY KIND, IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF REVENUE, INCOME, OR PROFITS, AND LOSS OF USE OR DATA), ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH (I) THE PURCHASER’S ACCEPTANCE OF OR RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS OR THE WHITEPAPER (DEFINED BELOW), (II) ANY ERROR, OMISSION, OR INACCURACY IN ANY SUCH INFORMATION, OR (III) ANY ACTION RESULTING THEREFROM.
1. Acceptance of Whitepaper and Terms
These Terms shall be effective and binding on all parties upon the earlier of (i) you clicking the checkboxes and the Submit button contained in the application form to purchase YUMS or (ii) you sending any unit of acceptable currency or cryptocurrency to the Company's bank account or digital wallet address (as relevant) in accordance with the Token Purchase Instructions (as defined below).
The Company has prepared the Whitepaper, which is available at https://yum-party.gitbook.io/, describing matters relating to the Company, Yum Party Application, and the Tokens. You acknowledge that you have read and understand the Whitepaper and have no objection to its contents. Information in the Whitepaper is of a descriptive nature only and does not, unless explicitly incorporated herein, form a part of these Terms.
Unless otherwise stated herein, these Terms govern only your purchase of Tokens from the Company during the Token Sale. The use of the Tokens will be governed primarily by other applicable terms and policies, which currently include the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy (collectively and as each may be amended and updated from time to time, the “Terms of Service”). The Company may add new terms or policies to the Terms of Service in its sole discretion, and may update the Terms of Service from time to time according to modification procedures set forth therein. To the extent of any conflict with these Terms, the Terms of Service shall control with respect to any issues relating to the use of the Tokens.
2. Purpose and Use of Tokens on the Yum Party Application
The Company intends for the Tokens to be sold to fund the development and maintenance of an ecosystem consisting of a platform and associated applications (the “Yum Party Application”) by YUMS FOUNDATION BVI, and the smart contract connected to the Yum Party Application. The YUMS token serves as the central currency of the Yum Party ecosystem, providing players, advertisers, and the community with a wide array of benefits and functionalities that elevate gameplay and user experience.
The Tokens may be sold or exchanged for fiat currency on an exchange, if and/or when any such exchange agrees to list Tokens, which in no case can be assured or guaranteed in any way.
Purchase, ownership, receipt, or possession of Tokens carries no rights, express or implied, other than the right to use the Tokens as a means to participate in the Yum Party Application as provided in these Terms and the Terms of Service (as defined below). In particular, you understand and agree that, save as expressly set out in these Terms, the Tokens do not represent or confer any ownership right or stake, share, security, or equivalent rights, or any right to receive future revenue shares, intellectual property rights, or any other form of participation in or relating to the Yum Party Application, the Company, the Associated Parties, and its or their corporate affiliates, subject to limitations and conditions in these Terms and other applicable terms, conditions, or policies, which may and likely will be implemented by the Company and other participants in the Yum Party Application at a later date. Tokens are not intended to be a loan contract, digital currency, security, commodity, or any other kind of financial instrument. You are purchasing Tokens solely for the purpose of participating in the Yum Party Application, and you are aware of the risks associated with the Company, YUMS FOUNDATION BVI, the Yum Party Application, and the Tokens. You are not purchasing Tokens for any other purpose, including, without limitation, any investment, speculative, or financial purpose.
You acknowledge and agree that the Yum Party Application is in an early stage of development and may undergo significant changes over time.
3. Rights Attaching to Tokens
It is currently anticipated that the Tokens shall, subject to the relevant holder of such Tokens having first satisfied the Company’s Compliance Procedures (defined below), carry the following rights:
Access to the Yum Party features and rewards.
The holders of the Tokens shall be given access to Yum Party exclusive features, which may include preferential access to certain in-app benefits and rewards for gameplay, advertising benefits, or community participation.
Participation in transaction rewards.
The Company shall distribute rewards generated through the Yum Party Application to the holders of the Tokens (which have completed the Company’s Compliance Procedures) on a pro-rata basis by reference to the number of Tokens held by such persons. The rewards shall be calculated on a regular basis by the Company (in its sole and absolute discretion) and then distributed to the wallet addresses associated with the TON address holding the YUMS on the distribution day. Rewards shall be payable in the form of benefits or tokens that have been generated through participation in the Yum Party Application during that particular period.
No rewards will be paid or payable to any Token holder which has not yet satisfied the Compliance Procedures of the Company. No rewards will be paid or payable to anyone other than the Token holders of record and will only be made to the wallet address on record for such Token holder.
Whilst the above sets out the rights that are proposed to be offered to the holders of Tokens, Purchasers must accept and be aware that such rights may be subject to change or variation by the Company if and to the extent that such changes are considered necessary or desirable by the directors of the Company (acting reasonably) to ensure compliance with any applicable laws, rules, or regulations.
4. How to Participate in the Token Sale
The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify any of the Token Sale procedures or any of the timelines described in these Terms due to, among other things, network congestion or other technical challenges.
Registration of account.
In order to acquire Tokens, you must first complete an application to purchase YUMS contained on the Website.
User Credentials.
In order to acquire Tokens, you will be required to complete the whitelisting instructions on the Company’s Website (including, without limitation, the satisfactory completion of the Company’s anti-money laundering and “know your client” policies and procedures (including a verification as to the Purchaser’s source of funds) (the “Compliance Procedures”) and to provide your email address and telephone number (“User Credentials”).
You agree not to allow anyone to use your personal information contained in your application to access applicant-specific pages on the Website or facilitate any unauthorized access to the Token Sale. If you do share your User Credentials with anyone, that person’s activities will be deemed to have been authorized by you. You are responsible for any acts or omissions that occur during the Token Sale with the use of your User Credentials. The Company reserves the right to suspend or block your access to the Token Sale upon suspicion of any unauthorized access or use, or any attempt thereof, associated with your User Credentials. You agree to maintain and promptly update your User Credentials and “know your client” information and to keep such information accurate, complete, and current. Furthermore, you agree that the Company may share your User Credentials with relevant authorities or partners if required or requested for the purposes of compliance, fraud prevention, or legal enforcement.
Payment of Purchase Price.
Payment for Tokens must be made exclusively in cryptocurrency. You must send the correct quantity of cryptocurrency to the unique address displayed to you via the Website. Your purchase cannot be completed until the Company receives the full amount of the cryptocurrency. The Purchase Price will not be considered paid in full until the Company receives the required number of network confirmations on the relevant blockchain.
Gas fees.
In the event that, due to the deduction of gas or other transfer fees, the amount of cryptocurrency that the Company receives from you is less than the Purchase Price associated with the number of Purchased Tokens selected by you, the Company will reduce the number of Tokens you receive accordingly. Alternatively, the Company may request a transfer of the remaining Purchase Price required to which you undertake to provide in a timely manner.
Token Purchase Instructions.
In order to receive Tokens, you must correctly provide a TON-compatible wallet address to receive Tokens (the “Token Receipt Address”). It is important that you carefully provide the Company with your Token Receipt Address as failure to provide a correct Token Receipt Address may result in a total loss of your Purchased Tokens.
In addition to the instructions above, the Company will provide further procedures and instructions regarding the purchase and delivery of Tokens (“Token Purchase Instructions”). The Token Purchase Instructions will set out the applicable Gas limit and the field you should insert in the sending data field. By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge and agree and have no objection to the Token Purchase Instructions. Failure to follow the exact procedures described in the Token Purchase Instructions may result in the incorrect transmission and/or the total loss of your Purchased Tokens.
The receipt or purchase of Tokens through any other means other than the means described in the Token Purchase Instructions are not sanctioned or agreed to in any way by the Company.
Delivery of Tokens.
Subject to these Terms, the Company will deliver the quantity of Tokens you are to receive during the Token Generation Event (TGE) (the “Token Delivery Date”). The delivery of Tokens will occur during the TGE and is not linked to the timing of your payment, which is made during the community sale. The Company reserves the right to extend the Token delivery deadline for up to four (4) additional weeks if necessary to address any technical difficulties. The Token delivery date will be aligned with the TGE, and not the Public Sale Period. Additionally, Tokens will only be delivered upon (i) the submission of a complete and accurate Token Receipt Address and (ii) receipt of all required information and documentation requested by the Company as part of the Compliance Procedures. For the avoidance of doubt, any extension pursuant to these Terms shall not affect the obligation of the Company and you to make and take delivery, respectively, of Purchased Tokens.
5. Rejection and Refund Policy
Your purchase of Tokens during the Token Sale is final. You cannot cancel the purchase, and your purchase cannot be refunded, except as provided in these Terms or as may be required by applicable law.
The Company reserves the right to reject your offer to purchase Tokens, in whole or in part, without giving a reason for that rejection. In those circumstances, the cryptocurrency submitted by you will be returned to you in the manner described above.
6. After the Token Sale
Purchasers should have no expectation of ownership or influence over the governance of the Company. Prior to a Purchaser selling Tokens, such Purchaser shall ensure that the buyer of any such Token undertakes to comply with all the provisions of these Terms as if such person were a Purchaser in the Token sale (including, without limitation, the satisfactory completion of the Compliance Procedures). No certificate will be issued in relation to Tokens and a Purchaser’s personal Token holding is not required to be reflected, recognized, or recorded in any account or ledger maintained by the Company, except in connection with the Compliance Procedures.
7. Security
You are responsible for implementing all measures for securing the wallet, vault, or other storage mechanism you use to receive and hold Tokens purchased from the Company, including any requisite private key(s) or other credentials necessary to access such storage mechanism(s). If your private key(s) or other access credentials are lost, you may lose access to your Tokens. Under no circumstance whatsoever or howsoever is the Company responsible for any losses, costs, or expenses relating to lost access credentials.
8. Taxation of Tokens and Taxation Related to the Token Sale
The Purchase Price that you pay for the Tokens is exclusive of all applicable taxes. You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your purchase of Tokens, including, but not limited to, sales, use, value-added (VAT), and other similar taxes. It is also your responsibility to withhold, collect, report, and remit the correct taxes to the appropriate tax authorities, depending on your jurisdiction. The Company will not be responsible for withholding, collecting, reporting, or remitting any sales, use, value-added, or similar tax arising from your purchase of Tokens.
The Purchaser bears the sole responsibility for determining if the purchase of Tokens, or the potential appreciation or depreciation in the value of Tokens over time, has tax implications in their relevant jurisdiction. You are advised to consult with your own tax advisers to evaluate the tax consequences of acquiring Tokens.
By purchasing Tokens, the Purchaser agrees not to hold the Company, its affiliates, shareholders, directors, or advisors liable for any tax liability associated with or arising from the purchase, ownership, sale, or transfer of Tokens.
9. Force Majeure
The Company is not liable for any failure to perform obligations under these Terms caused by unforeseen events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, unavoidable casualty, delays in the delivery of materials, embargoes, government or regulatory orders, acts of civil or military authorities, acts by common carriers, emergency conditions (including weather conditions), acts of terrorism, security issues arising from the technology used, failure of the TON (The Open Network) or other similar blockchain platform, or any other unforeseen events that render performance commercially impracticable.
If a force majeure event occurs, the affected party may elect to suspend the performance of its obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, for the duration of the force majeure circumstances. The party experiencing the force majeure event shall make reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other party to minimize the impact of the force majeure event on both parties.
10. Acknowledgment and Assumption of Risks
The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that purchasing, holding, and using Tokens involves certain risks. These risks have been disclosed and explained in these Terms, the Whitepaper (available at https://yum-party.gitbook.io/), and any accompanying Risk Factors documents provided by the Company. These risks may include, but are not limited to, the volatility of cryptocurrency markets, regulatory risks, technological risks related to the TON blockchain, risks associated with the development and performance of the Yum Party Application, and risks of loss of access to your Tokens due to loss of private keys or wallet credentials.
If you have any questions regarding these risks or are unsure about your participation in the Token Sale, please contact us at support@yumparty.com.
BY PURCHASING TOKENS, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND ASSUME THESE RISKS.
11. Representations and Warranties
In consideration of the Company’s acceptance of the Purchaser’s offer to purchase Tokens and recognizing its reliance thereon, the Purchaser covenants, agrees, represents, and warrants to the Company as of the time of their purchase request and receipt of Tokens that:
The Purchaser has read, understands, and is in full compliance with these Terms (including all Exhibits), and the Purchaser understands that, by purchasing, or otherwise receiving, a Token, the Purchaser is accepting all of the terms and conditions set forth herein.
The Purchaser is not relying on any representations or statements made or information supplied by or on behalf of the Company other than information contained in these Terms and the Whitepaper. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements disclosed or terms provided in the Whitepaper and these Terms, these Terms shall govern.
The Purchaser has sufficient understanding of the functionality, usage, storage, transmission mechanisms, and other material characteristics of cryptographic tokens, token storage mechanisms (such as token wallets), blockchain technology, and blockchain-based software systems to understand these Terms and to appreciate the risks and implications of purchasing Tokens.
The Purchaser has obtained sufficient information about Tokens, the Yum Party Application, YUMS FOUNDATION BVI, and the Company to make an informed decision to purchase Tokens and has otherwise had the opportunity to contact the Company at support@yumparty.com with any questions regarding purchasing Tokens.
The Purchaser is acquiring the Tokens solely for the Purchaser’s own account and not as nominee or custodian for another person or entity. If the Purchaser is an individual purchasing Tokens on behalf of any entity, the Purchaser is authorized to accept these Terms on such entity’s behalf, and that entity will be responsible for breach of these Terms by the Purchaser or any other employee or agent of such entity (references to “Purchaser”, “you” and similar expressions in these Terms refer to the Purchaser and such entity, jointly).
The Purchaser is either (i) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) or (ii) an Eligible Purchaser as defined in Exhibit A to these Terms and is not acting on behalf of, or for the benefit of, nor does the Purchaser intend transferring any Tokens they may purchase to, any person who is not an Eligible Purchaser.
The Purchaser is legally permitted to purchase, receive, possess, and make use of Tokens in its relevant jurisdiction; the Purchaser is of legal age to purchase Tokens in the Purchaser’s relevant jurisdiction, and the Purchaser is not aware of any other legal reason to prevent it from obtaining Tokens. Additionally, the Purchaser is not (i) a citizen, resident (tax or otherwise), or a citizen or resident of China or the British Virgin Islands (BVI), (ii) a citizen or resident of a geographic area in which access to or use of the Yum Party Application or Token is prohibited by applicable law, decree, regulation, treaty, or administrative act, or (iii) a citizen or resident of, or located in, a geographic area that is subject to U.S., BVI, or other sovereign country sanctions or embargoes (including, without limitation, Libya, Sudan, South Sudan, Syria, Islamic Republic of Iran, or the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea). The Purchaser agrees that if the Purchaser’s country of residence or other circumstances change such that the representations in this clause are no longer accurate, the Purchaser will immediately cease the restricted use of the Yum Party Application or Token, as applicable.
The Purchaser did not acquire and will not transfer any Tokens within the People's Republic of China (a “Restricted Territory”). The Purchaser is not aware of and is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the sale of Tokens through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement, or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or electronic mail over the internet, in connection with the offering and sale of the Tokens. The Purchaser did not become aware of the offering of the Tokens through any seminar or meeting to which they were invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to them in connection with investments in securities generally.
The Purchaser understands that its purchase of Tokens does not involve the purchase or receipt of shares, ownership, or any equivalent interest in any existing or future public or private company, corporation, or other entity in any jurisdiction.
The Purchaser’s purchase of Tokens hereunder was not made using funds stemming from illegal or unethical activities or sources, and the Purchaser is not purchasing or using Tokens for any illegal purpose and will not use Tokens for any illegal purpose.
The Purchaser will comply with any applicable tax obligations in its jurisdiction arising from its purchase of Tokens, and the Purchaser accepts that it bears sole responsibility for determining the tax implications, if any, relating to (i) the purchasing, allocation, use, or ownership of Tokens, (ii) the potential appreciation or depreciation in the value of Tokens over time, if any, (iii) the sale and purchase of Tokens, and (iv) any other action or transaction related to Tokens.
PURCHASER WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE, OR OBTAIN IN THE FUTURE, TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR A CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION AGAINST ANY ENTITY OR INDIVIDUAL INVOLVED WITH THE SALE OF TOKENS.
Neither the Company nor any member, director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company has provided the Purchaser with any advice regarding whether Tokens are a suitable investment for the Purchaser.
The Purchaser understands that the Company is not currently required to register with the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (BVI FSC) because the Company is not a collective investment vehicle, and the Tokens are not shares, trust units, or partnership interests. The Purchaser understands that BVI FSC has therefore not reviewed the Tokens, Yum Party Application, or these Terms, and has not passed any judgment on the merits of the Company or acquiring the Tokens. BVI FSC will have no oversight of the operations of the Company, YUMS FOUNDATION BVI, the Tokens, or the Yum Party Application.
The Purchaser understands that the British Virgin Islands Government has not yet proposed or passed any legislation expressly regulating cryptocurrencies, cryptographic tokens, initial coin offerings, or token-generating events and its regulatory intentions are unclear. The Purchaser understands that any new laws imposed in the British Virgin Islands (or amendments to the existing laws of the British Virgin Islands) could, among other things: (i) prohibit the sale, purchase, or transfer of the Tokens or otherwise make holding them illegal, (ii) require the Company to register itself or the Tokens with the BVI Financial Services Commission and become subject to its supervision, (iii) require the Company to move to another jurisdiction, and/or (iv) adversely affect or destroy the value of a Purchaser’s Tokens, and that such new laws or amendments could be imposed very quickly and without warning.
The Purchaser has read the Guidance on Regulation of Virtual Assets in the Virgin Islands (BVI) published 10 July 2020, which can be accessed via the following link: https://www.bvifsc.vg/sites/default/files/guidance_on_regulation_of_virtual_assets_in_the_virgin_islands_bvi_final.pdf.
THE PURCHASER TAKES SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RESTRICTIONS AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH RECEIVING AND HOLDING TOKENS. WHEN PURCHASING DIGITAL TOKENS, THERE IS AN INHERENT RISK THAT YOU MAY LOSE ALL AMOUNTS PAID.
To the extent permitted by law, the Purchaser understands that the Company makes no warranty whatsoever, either expressed or implied, regarding the future success of the Token, the Yum Party Application, YUMS FOUNDATION BVI, or the TON blockchain or any other network on which the Company may ultimately build its network and Tokens.
The Purchaser accepts that they are obtaining Tokens on an “as is” and “under development” basis and acknowledges that the Company is providing Tokens without any warranties in relation to Tokens, including, but not limited to, title, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose.
The Purchaser has not and will not supply the Company with inaccurate or misleading information relating to their purchase of Tokens, including, without limitation, as to the Purchaser’s identity and source of funds. The Purchaser will supply the Company with all accurate information, documentation, or copy documentation that the Company may require in order to allow the Company to accept the Purchaser’s purchase of Tokens and allocate Tokens to the Purchaser. The Purchaser will provide the Company with any additional information reasonably required for the Company to fulfill its legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations, including, but not limited to, any anti-money laundering and “know your customer” obligations, or any changes to the information the Purchaser has supplied to the Company.
12. Future Migration of Tokens
The Tokens are being created as Jettons on the TON (The Open Network) blockchain protocol. We reserve the right to migrate the TON-based Tokens (the “Pre-existing Tokens”) to another protocol and to generate replacement Tokens on the new protocol (the “Replacement Tokens”) in the future, should we determine, in our sole discretion, that doing so is necessary or useful to the operation of the Yum Party Application. Should we decide to migrate the Tokens, we may no longer provide support for the Pre-existing Tokens relating to the Yum Party Application or any other operational matters, except with respect to the migration process. If the Tokens are migrated to another protocol, the practical utility of Pre-existing Tokens will likely diminish rapidly once Replacement Tokens are created and in use by a significant portion of Yum Party participants.
You acknowledge and agree that to continue to participate in the Yum Party Application or obtain utility from the Tokens, you may need to convert the Tokens you receive to Replacement Tokens in the future. The migration process, if it occurs, will be communicated clearly by the Company, and the Purchaser will be responsible for following the necessary steps for Token conversion.
13. Anti-Money Laundering
The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that:
It is not a Prohibited Person (as defined at the end of Exhibit A);
No person or entity that controls, is controlled by, or under common control with, the Purchaser is a Prohibited Person;
Neither the Purchaser, nor any person having a direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Purchaser or the Tokens being acquired, is the subject of sanctions administered or enforced by any country or government (collectively, “Sanctions”) or is organized or resident in a country or territory that is the subject of country-wide or territory-wide Sanctions; and
To the extent that the Purchaser has any Beneficial Owners:
It has carried out thorough due diligence to establish the identities of those Beneficial Owners;
Based on that due diligence, the Purchaser reasonably believes that no Beneficial Owner is a Prohibited Person;
It holds the evidence of those identities and status and will maintain all of that evidence for at least five years from the date of the Purchaser's complete redemption from the Company; and
It will make available that evidence and any additional evidence that the Company may require upon request in accordance with applicable regulations.
The Purchaser acknowledges to the Company that if any of the representations and warranties in the preceding clause cease to be true or if the Company no longer reasonably believes that it has satisfactory evidence as to their truth, despite any other agreement to the contrary, the Company may, in accordance with applicable regulations, be obligated to do one or more of the following:
To take certain actions relating to the Purchaser's holding of Tokens;
To report that action; and
To disclose the Purchaser's identity to OFAC, the Financial Investigation Agency (FIA) of the British Virgin Islands (BVI), or any other relevant authority.
If the Company is required to take any of the actions referred to in the preceding clause, the Purchaser understands and agrees with the Company that it has no claim against the Company, its affiliates, directors, members, partners, shareholders, officers, employees, and agents for any damages as a result of any such actions.
To the extent that the foregoing release endures for the benefit of any director, officer, employee, delegate, agent, or subcontractor (whether existing or in the future) of the Company, the Purchaser acknowledges, and by accepting this application, the Company agrees, that the Company holds the benefit of release on trust for that person.
In order to comply with the anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company, the Purchaser acknowledges that Tokens will not be issued until the Company is satisfied that evidence regarding the source of the purchase amounts and the identity of the Purchaser is satisfactory.
If, as a result of any information or other matter which comes to his attention, any person resident in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) knows or suspects, or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting, that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or is involved with terrorism or terrorist property, and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business, or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to: (i) the Financial Investigation Agency (FIA) of the BVI, or a nominated officer (appointed in accordance with the Proceeds of Crime Act of the BVI), if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering, or (ii) the FIA or a police constable or a nominated officer, pursuant to the Anti-Terrorism (Financial and Other Measures) (Amendment) Act, 2020 of the BVI, if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism, terrorist financing, or terrorist property. Such a report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or otherwise.
By agreeing to these Terms, the Purchaser consents to the disclosure by or on behalf of the Company of any information about the Purchaser to regulators and others upon request in connection with money laundering and similar matters, both in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and in other jurisdictions.
14. Information and Personal Data
You acknowledge that you have read and understand the Company’s Privacy Policy (available at https://yum-party.gitbook.io/).
Upon the Company’s request, you will immediately provide to the Company any information and documents that the Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to comply with any laws, regulations, rules, or agreements, including, without limitation, judicial processes and anti-money laundering laws applicable in the British Virgin Islands (BVI).

You acknowledge that the Company may refuse to distribute Tokens to you and/or provide access to your account until such requested information and/or documents are provided. The Company reserves the right to request further information and documentation at any time in its sole discretion. The Company may refuse you access if it has doubts as to the validity, authenticity, or genuineness of the documents provided by you. You agree that the Company shall not be liable for any loss arising as a result of the delay or non-delivery of Tokens to you or any other actions taken by the Company described in this section, and you hereby waive all claims against the Company arising from such losses. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any loss incurred by the Company due to any such information or documentation not being provided by you.

The Purchaser has the knowledge, expertise, and experience in financial matters to evaluate the risks of acquiring Tokens, is aware of the risks inherent in acquiring Tokens, and can bear the risk of loss of its entire Token acquisition. The Purchaser is qualified and authorized to make such an acquisition decision and, to the extent deemed necessary, has consulted its own advisors and legal counsel regarding the acquisition of Tokens. In making the decision to acquire Tokens, the Purchaser has not relied on any advice or recommendation from the Company nor any placement agent associated with the Company, or any of their affiliates. To the extent that the Purchaser is acting on behalf of an entity, the Purchaser has the full power and authority under such entity’s governing instruments to do so, and that entity has the full power and authority under its governing instruments to acquire Tokens.
16. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, YUMS FOUNDATION BVI, and its or their respective past, present, and future employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants, equity holders, suppliers, vendors, service providers, legal and financial advisers, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, representatives, predecessors, successors, and assigns (the “Company Parties” and each a “Company Party”) from and against all claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that arise from or relate to: (i) Purchaser’s purchase or use of Tokens, (ii) Purchaser’s responsibilities or obligations under these Terms, (iii) Purchaser’s violation of these Terms, or (iv) Purchaser’s violation of any rights of any other person or entity in connection with Tokens and/or these Terms. The Company reserves the right to exercise sole control over the defense, at the Purchaser’s expense, of any claim subject to indemnification under this section, including choice of legal counsel. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in any other written agreement between the Purchaser and the Company.
Any Company Party or other identifiable person who is not a party to these Terms may enforce any rights granted to such party pursuant to these Terms in its own right as if it were a party to these Terms. Except as expressly provided in the foregoing sentence, a person who is not a party to these Terms shall not have any rights to enforce any term of these Terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the consent of or notice to any person who is not a party to these Terms shall not be required for any termination or rescission or any variation, waiver, assignment, novation, release, or settlement under these Terms at any time. The Company may rely conclusively upon and shall incur no liability in respect of any action taken upon any notice, consent, request, instructions, or other instrument believed in good faith to be genuine, however given. The Company will protect and indemnify its agents, delegates, service providers, officers, directors, and other representatives against liability.
17. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE TOKENS ARE SOLD ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES AS TO THE TOKENS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NONINFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE. THE COMPANY DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE TOKENS ARE RELIABLE, CURRENT, OR ERROR-FREE, MEET THE PURCHASER’S REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE TOKENS WILL BE CORRECTED. THE COMPANY CANNOT AND DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE TOKENS, THE USE OF THE TOKENS, OR THE DELIVERY MECHANISM FOR TOKENS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE USE OF THE TOKENS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED.
Transactions using cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, such as those involving the sale of Tokens and the use of the Yum Party Application, are at risk to multiple potential failures, including but not limited to, high network volume, computer failure, blockchain failure of any kind, and user failure. The Company is not responsible for any loss of data, cryptocurrencies, Tokens, hardware, or software resulting from (i) any such failures, or (ii) any actions taken by Purchaser in connection with the Token Sale.
The disclaimers and other risk disclosures contained in these Terms will apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or disclaimer of implied terms in contracts with consumers, so some or all of the exclusions of warranties and disclaimers in this section may not apply to the Purchaser.
18. Limitation of Liability
The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, to the fullest extent of the law, the disclaimer of liability contained herein applies to any and all damages or injury whatsoever caused by or related to (i) use of, or inability to use the Token or (ii) the Company under any cause or action whatsoever of any kind in any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, actions for breach of warranty, breach of contract, or tort, including negligence, and that the Company shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, loss of revenues, loss of goodwill, or loss of data, in any way whatsoever arising out of the use of, or inability to use, or purchase of, or inability to purchase Tokens, or arising out of any interaction with the Token-associated smart contract implemented in relation to Tokens. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company is not liable for the conduct of third parties, including other purchasers of Tokens, and that the risk of purchasing and using Tokens rests entirely with the Purchaser.
To the maximum extent permissible under law, under no circumstances will the Company be liable to any Purchaser for more than the amount the Purchaser has paid to the Company for the purchase of Tokens. The liability limitations and exclusions in this section will apply to the fullest extent permitted by law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the limitations of this section may not apply to the Purchaser.
19. Release
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Purchaser releases the Company and the other Company Parties from responsibility, liability, claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including, but not limited to, claims of negligence), arising out of or related to disputes between users and the acts or omissions of third parties. The Purchaser expressly waives any rights it may have under any other statute or common law principles that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which the Purchaser may know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of agreeing to this release.
20. Miscellaneous
A. Complete Agreement
These Terms set forth the entire understanding between the Purchaser and the Company with respect to the purchase and sale of Tokens. For facts relating to the sale and purchase, the Purchaser agrees to rely only on these Terms in determining purchase decisions and understands that the Terms govern the sale of Tokens and supersede any public statements about the Token Sale made by third parties or by the Company or individuals associated with the Company, past, present, and current, during the Token Sale.
B. Severability
The Purchaser and the Company agree that if any provision of these Terms is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective solely to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.
C. No Waiver
The failure of the Company to require or enforce strict performance by the Purchaser of any provision of these Terms or the Company’s failure to exercise any right under these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of the Company’s right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance. The express waiver by the Company of any provision, condition, or requirement of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition, or requirement. Except as expressly and specifically set forth in these Terms, no representations, statements, consents, waivers, or other acts or omissions by the Company shall be deemed a modification of these Terms nor be legally binding.
D. Multiple Purchasers
If there is more than one person comprising a Purchaser, then all representations, warranties, acknowledgements, undertakings, and agreements by the Purchaser bind those persons jointly and each of them individually, and all benefits in favor of the Purchaser benefit those persons jointly and each of them individually.
E. Amendments; Updates to the Terms
The Company reserves the right, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of these Terms at any time, including, without limitation, as is reasonably required to comply with applicable law or regulation, by posting the amended terms on its website.

The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be entitled to receive any information from the Company in paper format. If the Purchaser does not have reliable access to the internet or email, the Purchaser should not acquire Tokens. The Purchaser accepts that such electronic communications may not be secure and may contain computer viruses or other defects, may not be accurately replicated on other systems, or may be intercepted, deleted, or interfered with, with or without the knowledge of the sender or the intended recipient. The Company makes no warranties in relation to these matters. The Company reserves the right to intercept, monitor, and retain email messages to and from their systems as permitted by applicable law. If the Purchaser has any doubts about the authenticity of an electronic communication purportedly sent by the Company, the Purchaser is required to contact the purported sender immediately.

All disputes or claims arising out of or in connection with these Terms, including disputes relating to its validity, breach, termination, or nullity shall be finally settled by a court in the British Virgin Islands (BVI).
K. No Class Actions

Exhibit A
ADDITIONAL COMPLIANCE TERMS
Anti-Money Laundering
The Company (and/or its delegate) may request such evidence as is necessary to verify the identity and source of funds of a prospective Purchaser and to confirm the anti-money laundering status of any transferring Token holder. If, as a result of any information or other matter which comes to their attention, a person resident in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) knows or suspects, or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting, that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or is involved with terrorism or terrorist property, and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business, or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to: (i) the Financial Investigation Agency (FIA) of the BVI, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act of the BVI, if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering; or (ii) a police constable not below the rank of inspector, or the FIA, pursuant to the Anti-Terrorism (Financial and Other Measures) (Amendment) Act, 2020 of the BVI, if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and property. Such a report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or otherwise.
The Company prohibits the acceptance of funds by any persons or entities that are acting, directly or indirectly: (i) in contravention of any U.S. or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering regulations or conventions; (ii) on behalf of terrorists or terrorist organizations, including those persons or entities that are included on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons maintained by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), as such list may be amended from time to time; (iii) for a senior foreign political figure, any member of a senior foreign political figure’s immediate family, or any close associate of a senior foreign political figure, unless the Company, after being specifically notified in writing that the Purchaser is such a person, conducts further due diligence and determines that such acquisition shall be permitted; or (iv) for a foreign shell bank (such persons or entities in (i) – (iv) are collectively referred to as “Prohibited Persons”).
Tax Information Exchange Obligations
The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company may be subject to certain obligations (the “Tax Information Exchange Obligations”) to gather and disclose to the competent authorities information relating to purchasers of Tokens under:
(i) the United States Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), provisions enacted under the United States Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act, and any guidance or regulations relating thereto;
(ii) any other legislation, regulations, or guidance enacted in any jurisdiction which seeks to implement similar tax reporting, tax information exchange, reporting, and/or withholding tax regimes (including the OECD Common Reporting Standard on the automatic exchange of financial account information);
(iii) any intergovernmental agreement between the BVI (or any BVI government body) and the U.S. or any other jurisdiction (including any government bodies in any such jurisdiction), entered into to comply with, facilitate, supplement, or implement the legislation, regulations, or guidance described in (i) and (ii), including the OECD Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement; and
(iv) any legislation, regulations, or guidance in the BVI that give effect to the foregoing.
The Purchaser hereby agrees to execute properly and provide to the Company in a timely manner any documentation or other information that the Company or its agents may request in writing from time to time in connection with the Tax Information Exchange Obligations. The Purchaser waives any provision under the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction that would, absent a waiver, prevent or inhibit the Company’s compliance with applicable law as described in this paragraph, including but not limited to preventing (i) the Purchaser from providing any requested information or documentation or (ii) the disclosure by the Company and its agents of the provided information or documentation to applicable regulatory authorities.
Without limitation, the Purchaser agrees to provide any documentation or other information regarding the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s beneficial owners requested by the Company or its agents in connection with the Tax Information Exchange Obligations. If the Purchaser provides information and/or documentation that is misleading or fails to provide the requested information (whether or not such action or inaction leads to compliance failures by the Company, or risks the Company or its token holders being subject to withholding tax or other penalties), the Company reserves the right to:
Take any action and/or pursue all remedies at the Company’s disposal, including, without limitation, compulsory reversion of the Purchaser’s acquisition of Tokens in full or in part; and
Hold back from any reversion proceeds in respect of the Tokens so reverted, any liabilities, costs, expenses, or taxes arising (directly or indirectly) from such action or inaction.
Further, the Purchaser shall have no claim against the Company or any of the Company’s agents or delegates for any form of damages or liability as a result of actions taken or remedies pursued by or on behalf of the Company to comply with the Tax Information Exchange Obligations.
Eligible Purchasers
From time to time, the Company's directors may amend the criteria for determining who is an Eligible Purchaser for the purpose of purchasing or receiving Tokens.
Initially, all Purchasers are considered “Eligible Purchasers” except the following:
A Purchaser whose acquisition of Tokens would cause a breach of the law or requirements of any country or governmental authority, including anti-money laundering regulations or conventions;
A Purchaser on behalf of terrorists or terrorist organizations, including those persons or entities included on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons maintained by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”);
A Purchaser who acts, directly or indirectly, for a senior foreign political figure, any member of a senior foreign political figure's immediate family, or any close associate of a senior foreign political figure unless the Company, after being specifically notified by the Purchaser in writing that it is such a person, conducts further due diligence and determines that the purchase is permitted;
A Purchaser or an entity acting as trustee, agent, representative, or nominee for a Purchaser that is a foreign shell bank;
A Purchaser who makes representations or warranties in the Terms that are not true when given or have ceased to be true;
A Purchaser whose circumstances are such that, in the opinion of the Company’s directors, its continued ownership of Tokens would cause an undue risk of adverse tax or other consequences to the Company. Those circumstances include those that affect that Purchaser directly or indirectly, whether taken alone or in conjunction with another person or persons, connected or not, or any other circumstance that appears to the directors to be relevant; and
A Purchaser, or a Purchaser that is an entity acting as trustee, agent, representative, or nominee for a person, who is a United States person (within the meaning of Regulation S of the United States Securities Act). The Purchaser must notify the Company immediately if the Purchaser becomes a United States person or becomes aware that any person for whom the Purchaser holds shares as trustee, agent, representative, or nominee has become a United States person.
All persons who fall within any of these categories are known, collectively, as “Prohibited Persons.”
