Terms of Use
Last updated:
These Terms of Use (these "Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you," "your," or "User") and Yield Guild Games, a Swiss Association ("YGG," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the website located at https://vibecode.game, together with any successor, related, or affiliated websites, applications, tools, features, content, and services that link to or reference these Terms (collectively, the "Services").
Please read these Terms carefully. They include important provisions that affect your legal rights, including a binding arbitration agreement and a waiver of your right to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration (Section 16), disclaimers of warranties (Section 14), and limitations on our liability (Section 15). By accessing or using the Services, creating an Account, or clicking to accept these Terms, you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Services. You may opt out of the arbitration provisions within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms as described in Section 16.
The Services include artificial-intelligence-powered tools that generate software code, games, and other output. Such output may be inaccurate, incomplete, non-functional, insecure, offensive, or infringing, and may not be protectable by copyright or other intellectual-property rights. You are solely responsible for reviewing, testing, and determining the suitability of any output before relying on, executing, or distributing it. See Sections 5 and 6.

05 · AI Tools and Generated Content
Nature of the AI Tools
The AI Tools use automated, probabilistic models to generate output based on patterns in data and on your Inputs. Output is not the product of human authorship by YGG. The AI Tools may rely on Third-Party Services, including third-party AI models and providers, and your use may also be subject to those providers' applicable terms.
No Warranty as to Output
We do not warrant that any Generated Content will be accurate, complete, current, reliable, functional, secure, non-infringing, fit for any particular purpose, or free of errors, vulnerabilities, or harmful components. The AI Tools may produce the same or similar output for different Users, and identical or similar Inputs may produce different output.
Your Responsibility for Output
You are solely responsible for evaluating, reviewing, testing, and verifying all Generated Content before relying on, publishing, distributing, executing, or otherwise using it — including for accuracy, functionality, security, safety, licensing, and compliance with applicable law and third-party rights. You assume all risk arising from your use of Generated Content.
Code Security
Generated Content may include software that executes code. You acknowledge that code generated by, shared on, or played through the Services may contain errors, vulnerabilities, or malicious components, and that you are responsible for taking appropriate precautions — including testing in a sandboxed environment and scanning for malware — before executing or distributing it.
No High-Risk Use
The Services and Generated Content are not intended or authorized for use in any safety-critical situation where failure or inaccuracy could lead to death, personal injury, or serious property or environmental damage, and you will not use them for any such purpose.
Inputs, Outputs, and Service Improvement
We may collect, use, store, and process Inputs and Generated Content to operate, provide, secure, support, and improve the Services, including to develop, train, fine-tune, and improve our and our service providers' models and features, in each case in accordance with the Privacy Policy and applicable law. Where you submit Content that includes personal information or confidential information of others, you represent that you have all rights and consents necessary to do so.
Third-Party AI Provider Terms
The AI Tools are powered in part by third-party AI models and providers. Your access to and use of the AI Tools, including your Inputs and your Generated Content, are subject to the applicable usage, acceptable-use, and other policies of those providers, which may restrict the Content you may submit or generate and may prohibit certain uses of output (including using output to develop, train, or improve a competing model, product, or service). You agree to comply with all such provider terms as they apply to your use of the AI Tools, and we may suspend or restrict your access, or remove Content, to comply with those terms or at a provider's direction. Provider terms may change, and providers may modify, suspend, or discontinue the availability of their models at any time.
06 · Intellectual Property
YGG Materials

You acknowledge and agree that:

Open-Source and Third-Party Components
The Services and Generated Content may incorporate or rely upon open-source software and other third-party components that are subject to their own license terms.

10 · Hackathons, Game Jams, and Events
Events Generally
We may offer Events through the Services. Events may be subject to additional or supplemental rules, eligibility requirements, and terms that we make available in connection with the Event ("Event Rules").

Term
These Terms apply from your first access to or use of the Services and continue until terminated.
Termination by You
You may stop using the Services and may close your Account at any time.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Services or your Account, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms, with or without notice, and without liability to you.
Effect of Termination
Upon termination, your right to access and use the Services ends. We may, but are not obligated to, delete your Account and User Content. Termination does not relieve you of any obligations accrued before termination.

14 · Disclaimers of Warranties
The Services, including the AI Tools and all Content and Generated Content, are provided "as is" and "as available," with all faults and without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, YGG and its affiliates, licensors, and service providers disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing, usage, or trade practice.
Without limiting the foregoing, YGG does not warrant that (a) the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of harmful components; (b) any Content or Generated Content will be accurate, complete, reliable, functional, secure, non-infringing, or protectable by intellectual-property rights; or (c) any errors or defects will be corrected. You assume all risk arising from your use of the Services and any Generated Content. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.
15 · Limitation of Liability
Exclusion of Damages
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, YGG and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and partners shall not be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or enhanced damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses arising out of or relating to your use of the Services. This exclusion applies regardless of the legal theory, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, and even if YGG has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Without limitation, YGG disclaims liability for losses or damages related to: (a) your use or misuse of the AI Tools, any Generated Content, or any Vibecoded Game; (b) errors, vulnerabilities, or malicious components in any Generated Content or in code generated by, shared on, or played through the Services; (c) the inaccuracy, non-functionality, insecurity, or non-protectability of any Generated Content; (d) loss of, or inability to access, any User Content or Generated Content; (e) Service outages, bugs, data corruption, or delayed updates; (f) inaccurate or unavailable data or output from any Third-Party Services, including third-party AI models or providers; (g) the acts or omissions of any third-party service provider or any other User; (h) any User Content, or any reliance on, download, execution, or play of another User's Vibecoded Game; or (i) any Event, prize, judging decision, or Event Rules.
Liability Cap
To the extent YGG is found liable notwithstanding the foregoing disclaimers, YGG's total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising from or related to the Services shall not exceed the greater of: (a) one hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100); or (b) the total amount of fees, if any, paid by you to YGG in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. This cap is cumulative and not per incident.
Essential Basis
The exclusions and limitations of liability in this Section 15 are an essential basis of the bargain and apply even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Exceptions
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations or exclusions of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless YGG, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, and licensors (the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all actual or alleged claims, damages, losses, liabilities, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with:
- your violation of these Terms or any applicable laws or regulations;
- your use or misuse of the Services or any of their features, including the AI Tools, Generated Content, or any Vibecoded Game;
- any activity conducted through your Account, whether authorized or unauthorized;
- any Content you submit to or through the Services;
- your infringement or misappropriation of the intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any third party;
- your breach of any representation, warranty, or obligation under these Terms; or
- any fraudulent, negligent, reckless, or intentionally harmful conduct by you or anyone using your login credentials or Account.
YGG reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you agree to cooperate fully and promptly with YGG's defense. This indemnity survives any termination of your access to the Services.
Time Limitation on Claims
You agree that any claim or cause of action you may have against YGG arising out of or related to your use of the Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose. Failure to file such claim within the prescribed time period constitutes a permanent bar to the claim.
16 · Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
Governing Law
These Terms and any Dispute (as defined below) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of Singapore, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply.
Arbitration
Any dispute, controversy, claim, or difference of any kind arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Services—including but not limited to disputes regarding the existence, formation, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, termination, or consequences of nullity of these Terms, as well as any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them (a "Dispute")—shall be exclusively and finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre ("SIAC") in force at the time the Notice of Arbitration is submitted.
The arbitration shall be administered by SIAC and conducted in accordance with the following parameters: the seat of arbitration shall be Singapore, or conducted remotely, at the sole discretion of YGG; the language of the proceedings shall be English; the arbitral tribunal shall consist of one (1) or three (3) arbitrators, also at the discretion of YGG; each party shall bear its own legal costs and share equally in the arbitrators' fees and administrative expenses, unless the arbitrator rules otherwise in a reasoned decision; and the arbitration may proceed in the absence of a party, provided that proper notice has been given in accordance with the SIAC Rules.
The award of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding on the parties. Judgment upon the award may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties waive any right of appeal, review, or recourse to the extent permitted by law.
Confidentiality
The arbitration, including its existence, the proceedings, and any award, shall be kept confidential by the parties, except as necessary to enforce the award or as required by law.
Judicial Forum in Aid of Arbitration
This arbitration agreement does not preclude either party from seeking interim, injunctive, or conservatory relief in aid of arbitration from the competent courts of Singapore or any other court with jurisdiction. If for any reason arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the courts of Singapore shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any Dispute not subject to arbitration. Each party irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction and waives any objection to venue or forum non conveniens.
No Class Actions
You and YGG agree that any Dispute shall be resolved only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or otherwise preside over any form of representative proceeding.
Arbitration Opt-Out
If you do not wish to be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions in this Section, you must notify us in writing within thirty (30) days of your first acceptance of these Terms. Your written notification must include your name and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with YGG through arbitration. You must send your opt-out notice to: legal@yieldguild.games. If you opt out of arbitration, you agree that any legal action or proceeding arising from or related to these Terms or your use of the Services shall be brought exclusively in the courts of Singapore, and you irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to venue or forum non conveniens in those courts.
17 · Export Controls and Sanctions
Compliance
You represent and warrant that you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or a national of any country or region subject to comprehensive economic sanctions, and that you are not identified on any list of restricted or prohibited parties maintained by the United States, the United Nations, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Singapore. You will not use the Services or any Generated Content in violation of applicable sanctions or export-control laws.
18 · Trust and Safety; Reporting
Reporting Violations
If you become aware of Content or conduct on the Services that violates these Terms or applicable law, including Content that is illegal or that threatens, harasses, or exploits or endangers a minor, you may report it to us at legal@yieldguild.games. For copyright and other intellectual-property complaints, see Section 9.
Child Safety
We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and for any Content or conduct that sexualizes, exploits, or endangers minors. Such material and conduct are strictly prohibited on the Services. We will remove such material and take appropriate action against the responsible Accounts.
Investigation, Reporting, and Preservation
We may, but are not obligated to, investigate suspected violations. Where we believe in good faith that it is necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or legal process, to enforce these Terms, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of any person, we may report Content, conduct, or Account information to law enforcement, regulators, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), or other appropriate authorities, and may preserve and disclose such information. We may cooperate with any such authority in an investigation.
