GYELD reserves the right to change these Terms, the Services, or any content from time to time at its own discretion. The User should review the Terms on a regular basis. The User's continued use of the Services following any amendments indicates acceptance of the changes to the Terms.
If the User does not agree to these Terms or any changes to the Terms, the User may not visit the Website and access or use the Services.
Registration and Access to the Services
The Services will be accessible to the User in their then-current version and according to the Terms. To gain full access to the Services, the User is required to register an account. An overview of provided Services, pricing list, commission fees, and specific instructions on how to use the Services can be found once the User registers for the Services.
In order to register the User must:

Provide all information necessary to conduct Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering checks ("KYC").
The User is granted access to the Services only after the verification procedure is successfully conducted. GYELD may reject to register a User if they do not meet the minimum age limit, deny to undergo the KYC or does not provide the necessary information, or if the User has its seat or residence or is accessing the Services from one of the Banned Countries.
All information provided by the User must be complete, accurate and truthful at all times. If any of the User's information changes, the User must update such information immediately. GYELD may, from time to time, ask the User to confirm the accuracy of their provided information and request additional supporting documents.
Token Sales
After being registered, the User will get an access to the GYELD's token sales platform, may browse the available projects, and buy utility tokens ("Token") offered within those projects ("Token Sales"). Specific conditions of Token Sales, available Tokens, and their further description are listed in the round details. Token Sales are subject to commission fees.
In order to buy a Token, the User must pick an active round of Token Sales and place an order. All User's Token Sales orders are visible in the User's portfolio. The order gets filled only once the Token sale round ends and a second KYC check is performed. Unless explicitly stated in the round details otherwise, all rounds are time-limited and are closed regardless of whether 100% of the funds have been raised. In case the round is oversubscribed, the User's order will get partially filled proportionally to how big the User's initial order was in comparison to the other orders.
The purchase and Token distribution are handled by a smart contract, and GYELD does not have the power of disposal over the collected funds. Once the round is closed and if other requirements are met, GYELD will unlock the funds no longer than 60 days after the closing of the respective round. By the blockchain, the User is guaranteed to buy the project Token at the price defined by the round or in case of a canceled order to get his money back. Once all orders are filled, the tokens are distributed to the User’s wallet.
Token Sales are non-custodial, which means that the User has exclusive control of stored assets and also bears exclusive responsibility for those assets. The User acknowledges and agrees that there is no claim for a refund of the amount paid for the Token from GYELD, and any refund is made by GYELD in its sole discretion.
Fees and Payment
The User's access to or use of the Services may be subject to payment of the fees as indicated for the respective service. The fees are, except where prohibited by law, non-cancellable and non-refundable. The commission fee payable in connection with the Token Sales may vary based on the specific project and amount of Tokens purchased by the User and will be clearly communicated to the User at the time of purchase.
If not agreed upon between the Parties or indicated on the Services otherwise, all fees are payable within 30 days from the purchase date.
GYELD may change the fees at any time at its sole discretion. Such changes will be effective from the date of publication.
