These terms and conditions of use (“Terms”) are entered into between Yesports Ltd (BVI Company No. 2078379 ) (“Yesports”, “we” or “us”) and you (“you” or “User”).
Yesports is the operator of this website (“website”) app, platform and related services made available under the Yesports name including the marketplace available on the platform (together, the “Platform”).
In these Terms, the User means (as applicable) a person using any part of the Platform in any capacity, including a person using the Platform as a trader, staker, buyer, seller or a person browsing or accessing the Platform.
We do not provide any investment, financial, legal, regulatory, accounting, tax or similar professional advice on the Platform. Blockchain, cryptocurrency, tokens, trading Non-Fungible Tokens and related transactions such as staking transactions involve a high degree of risk and there is always the possibility of loss, including the loss of digital currency, NFTs, tokens and assets. Yesports is not responsible for any costs, taxes, losses or damages a User incurs as a result of or in connection with using the Platform or buying, selling and/or trading NFTs on the Platform.
Users acknowledge that buying, selling, staking and trading tokens and NFTs is significantly risky and is unregulated by any central or government authority. Users warrant that they understand the risks associated with access to or use of this Platform and any goods, services or products offered or made available or used in connection with this Platform.
For the purpose of these Terms, “NFT” means Non-Fungible Tokens and/or related digital creations and/or digital assets (including all materials associated with those Non-Fungible Tokens, card packs, metaverse access cards and/or related digital assets).
The Platform will provide the ability for Users to:
YESP tokens and/or third party tokens may be used to participate in Staking Transactions through the Platform. Yesports will have sole discretion as to the manner, outcome and effect of the Staking Transactions and the tokens or cryptocurrency available on the Platform.
A User’s use of this Platform is subject to these Terms. These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between the User and Yesports, and a User’s use of the Platform constitutes their acceptance and acknowledgement of the Terms, our Privacy Policy, and any other policy displayed on the Platform, all of which constitutes the Terms. A User does not need to connect their Blockchain Wallet, make a trade of NFTs on the Platform or participate in a Staking Transaction to be bound by these terms. Any use, such as browsing NFTs or opening any part of the Platform, will constitute acceptance of these Terms. If you do not agree to the Terms, you must not use the Platform.
Yesports may amend or modify the Platform, the Terms and/or the Privacy Policy at our sole discretion and at any time. Yesports will make available any material updates to the Terms on this website.
A User may only access and use this Platform if you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract. By using the Platform and/or accepting any services made available on this Platform, you warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.
These Terms will prevail over any other terms or agreement between a User and Yesports, including any other terms proposed by a User.
Users acknowledge and agree that Yesports is not a party to any agreement entered into between different Users and Yesports does not have control over the conduct of Users of the Platform, including and in relation to the procurement or sale of illegally acquired NFTs on the Platform or the availability of tokens, cryptocurrency or other assets which may be used in Staking Transactions.
Yesports will mint and create NFTs to be sold on the Platform in collaboration or association with our Esports partners, players and other third parties (“Esports Partners”). NFTs sold by Yesports or its Esports Partners on the Platform may grant Buyers exclusive access to rewards from Esports Partners. Yesports and its Esports Partners have sole discretion as to the rewards and when and how rewards will be redeemed by the Buyers. Examples of such reward include but are not limited to gaming equipment, signed merchandise and coaching sessions with Esports Partners.
Users will need to connect their Blockchain Wallet to the Platform (“Registration”) to buy, sell, and/or trade NFTs on the Platform and/or participate in Staking Transactions on the Platform by staking YESP tokens or other third party tokens, assets or cryptocurrency on the Platform.
Upon Registration, a User will be able to search for and view NFTs which are listed for sale or auction (“Listing”) on the Platform and may participate in Staking Transactions using YESP tokens (or other digital assets or tokens available for Staking Transactions on the Platform as determined by Yesports).
When Yesports, its Esports Partners or any other Seller is creating a Listing, that Seller has discretion as to sale price or the starting auction price of the NFT. Yesports does not make any representations as to the value of the Listing regardless of its sale price. Yesports and its Esports Partners will be Sellers on the Platform.
The Seller of a Listing on the Platform will incur a platform fee payable to Yesports equal to 10% of the total sale price of the Listing sole on the Platform (“Service Fee”). Yesports will receive Service Fees each time a Listing is sold or traded on the Platform.
Yesports may deduct the Service Fee direct from the sale proceeds paid or payable by a Buyer for a Listing before the sale proceeds are transferred to or made available to the Seller. The Service Fee paid to or deducted by Yesports is non-refundable.
Discounts on the Service Fee may be available for Users who stake YESP (the Yesports token) at Yesports’ discretion.
In addition, fees or commissions or margins may be imposed and varied by Yesports in relation to Staking Transactions on the Platform. Such fees will be payable in the amount, the manner and as and when determined by Yesports.
The fees payable for using the Platform may be amended at the sole and absolute discretion of Yesports at any time. Yesports intends to advise of any amendments to the fee by posting the amended fee on the website. Yesports reserves the right to introduce new fees or amend existing fees for use of the Platform at any time at its discretion.
All transactions on the Platform, including without limitation buying, selling and staking, are facilitated by smart contracts existing on the Ethereum blockchain. The Ethereum blockchain requires the payment of a transaction fee (“Gas Fee”) for every transaction that occurs on the Ethereum blockchain, and thus every transaction occurring on the Platform. The Platform is built on the Polygon network to connect Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks and address scalability issues on the current Ethereum blockchain. While this may reduce the value of Gas Fees, the value of Gas Fees changes is unpredictable and are entirely outside of the control of Yesports or the Platform. Users acknowledge that under no circumstances will a contract, agreement, offer, sale, bid, or other transaction on the Platform be invalidated, revocable, retractable, or otherwise unenforceable on the basis that the Gas Fee for the given transaction was unknown, too high, or otherwise unacceptable to a User. Users also acknowledge and agree that Gas Fees are unequivocally non-refundable under all circumstances.
Ownership of the NFT will be transferred from the Seller to the Buyer when the Buyer has paid the purchase price of the NFT in full and otherwise on the terms specified by the Seller. All of the intellectual property rights in the NFT are owned by Yesports (and/or its Esports Partners or third party licensors) and will remain with Yesports (and/or its Esports Partners or third party licensors) even after ownership is transferred from the Seller to the Buyer. For the purpose of clarity, Yesports will receive a royalty in perpetuity every time a NFT is sold.
Transfer of ownership to the Buyer is effected when it appears in a Buyer’s Blockchain Wallet. After a sale has occurred, the Seller will no longer be able to withdraw the NFT from their Blockchain Wallet.
By using the Platform, each Seller agrees that:
All transactions involving the purchase and sale of a Listing are final.
When using any part of the Platform, Users must not directly or indirectly:
Each User agrees that Yesports may send them promotional communication by email, including newsletters, special offers, surveys, updates, and any information that Yesports may consider will be of interest to the User.
Users also agree that Yesports may send communications by email or text message that pertain to the status of a purchase or sale of a Listing and other communication that pertain to their interaction with the Platform.

Yesports (and/or its Esports Partners and third party licensors) will own and retain all intellectual property rights in the NFTs minted, offered, sold and traded on the Platform and in the tokens and digital assets made available on the Platform, both before and after the sale of the NFTs on the Platform (or otherwise) and both before and after the completion of a Staking Transaction.
For clarity, no intellectual property rights in a NFT traded on the Platform will be transferred from the Seller (including Yesports (and/or its Esports Partners and third party licensors) to the Buyer of the NFT traded on the Platform, unless otherwise separately expressed by Yesports in the terms of sale stipulated by Yesports in a smart contract for that NFT. In the absence of any express transfer of intellectual property rights in a NFT, no intellectual property rights associated with or arising in a Listing will be transferred from the Seller to the Buyer under a transaction completed on the Platform.
Buyers must ensure that they review the terms of sale under a smart contract and must determine whether the terms of sale are fit for their purpose before completing the transaction. The Buyer accepts all risks and liabilities associated with the intellectual property in a Listing purchased on the Platform.
