1. ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY 1.1 We are a decentralized Community consisting of Members who access, use, and support our Community Platform to access and use their Digital Currencies on the Blockchain.

1.2 Anyone can Join our Community, subject to meeting our Eligibility Requirements (see paragraph 3 below), and complying with these Community Rules.

1.3 These Community Rules also apply to Guests who access and use our Community Platform as if they were a Member, unless otherwise stated. 2. INTERFACE FOR DIGITAL CURRENCIES

2.1 Our Community Platform is an interface for Digital Currencies.

2.2 Our mission is to develop better ways for Members to use and access their Digital Currencies by using our Community Platform.

2.3 All Digital Currencies of Members are the individual assets of Members on the Blockchain. Our Community Platform simply provides an alternative (and hopefully better) interface for Members to use and access any Digital Currencies they may have on the Blockchain.

2.4 Our Community is not a Blockchain platform or a Digital Currency, and we do not control the rules which govern any Blockchain platform or Digital Currency which Members may access using our Community Platform.

2.5 Our Community does not guarantee the value of any Digital Currencies owned by a Member.

2.6 Where a Member chooses to view the approximate value of a Digital Currency on our Community Platform in a fiat currency, we provide an approximated value based on publicly available information from the Blockchain and an average of currency exchange rates. Our Community does not represent that the approximated value of a Digital Currency in a selected currency can be realised by a Member if they were to convert their Digital Currency into that currency by whatever means may be available to them.

2.7 Our Community Platform is not integrated with all Digital Currencies. We publish on our Websites a list of those Digital Currencies which are integrated with our Community Platform.

2.8 The use of and access to a Member’s Digital Currencies is governed by the rules which are determined by the Blockchain platform of the relevant Digital Currency, not by these Community Rules. Where there is any inconsistency between the governing rules of a Blockchain platform and these Community Rules, the governing rules of the Blockchain platform will prevail.

2.9 We sometimes use the term “Money” on our Community Platform to describe Digital Currencies which we have integrated with our Community Platform. This is not intended to infer that Digital Currencies are money issued by a government, or that Digital Currencies on the Blockchain are regulated, licensed, guaranteed, sovereign risk or protected in any way.

2.10 Members should familiarise themselves with the operation of Digital Currencies and Blockchain platforms before using our Community Platform. Members should only use our Community Platform if they understand the risks of Digital Currencies on the Blockchain. Members should appreciate that the Blockchain is an emerging tool for financial markets and that there are inherent significant risks to holders of Digital Currencies during these developmental stages of the Blockchain.

2.11 Our Community does not take any responsibility for compliance with local laws by Members or by Blockchain platforms who create and issue Digital Currencies which Members choose to acquire. 3. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

If either of those apply, you are not eligible to Join our Community or access our Community Platform.

3.4 Guests and Members are responsible for identifying, understanding and complying with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to their Digital Currencies and their use of our Community Platform. For example, some countries have laws that prohibit or restrict the use of Digital Currencies.

Guests and Members are alone responsible for identifying and obtaining any required licences, permits or registrations applicable to them in their local jurisdiction.

If you have questions about how local laws apply to Digital Currencies or our Community Platform, you should always seek legal guidance.

If not, you are not eligible to Join our Community or access our Community Platform.

If there is a conflict between these Community Rules and specific policies, standards or guidelines or additional Community rules and conditions applicable to a certain area or feature of our Community Platform, the specific policies, standards or guidelines and additional Community rules and conditions will take precedence with respect to your access to or use of that area or feature, unless specified otherwise.

3.10 If you access or download any Application from the Apple App Store, you agree to Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Community Rules. Some areas of our Community Platform implement Google Maps/Earth mapping services, including Google Maps API(s). Your use of Google Maps/Earth is subject to the Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Community Rules.

6.6 Community Partners do not provide any endorsement, certification or guarantee about any Member, including any Member's identity or background or whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. Members should always exercise their own due diligence and care when deciding whether to interact with another Member, whether online or in person.

6.7 A Community Partner’s relationship with our Community is limited to being an independent, third-party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer, partner or Member of our Community for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf of, or for the benefit of, our Community. We do not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control any Community Partner generally or specifically, including in connection with their provision of any services to our Community, other than as provided for in these Community Rules.

6.8 Our Community Platform may contain links to third-party websites or resources provided by Community Partners (“Third-Party Services”). Such Third-Party Services may be subject to different terms and conditions and privacy practises, and their own intellectual property rights. We are not responsible or liable for the availability or accuracy of such Third-Party Services, or the content, products or services available from such Third-Party Services. Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by our Community of such Third-Party Services or the Community Partner who provides them. 7. ACCOUNTS

7.1 Members may use the Accounts feature of our Community Platform to view the Balances of Digital Currencies they may have on the Blockchain (subject to those Digital Currencies being integrated with our Community Platform).

7.2 All Digital Currencies viewed in an Account on our Community Platform are owned by a Member directly in a digital wallet on the Blockchain, and they are the sole responsibility of the Member.

7.3 Our Community does not guarantee the value of any Digital Currencies owned by a Member.

7.4 Members may view the value of their Digital Currencies in any currency, including a fiat currency. When a Member chooses this feature, we provide an approximation only, based on publicly available information on the Blockchain and an average of currency exchange rates. Our Community does not represent that the value of a Digital Currency in another currency can be realised if converted to that currency.

7.5 Members may participate in our Community Loan Program to earn Interest on any of their Accounts. Interest rates are published on our Websites, and may vary from time to time. Members agree to limit their Withdrawals for up to 3 months to be entitled to receive Interest.

7.6 Members may use our Community Platform to transfer Digital Currencies between Accounts on our Community Platform, to Send and Receive Digital Currencies to/from Accounts using Transfers, and to Deposit and Withdraw Digital Currencies to/from Accounts. When this occurs, our Community Platform uses the private key of the Member to make a transfer within the digital wallet of the Member on the Blockchain.

7.7 An Account is not an actual account of value with an actual balance held by our Community Platform on behalf of a Member. It is simply a representation of the approximate value of a Digital Currency in a Member’s digital wallet on the Blockchain based on the information accessed by our Community Platform from the Blockchain. 8. DEPOSITS AND WITHDRAWALS

8.1 Members may use our Community Platform to acquire or dispose of Digital Currencies in digital wallets on the Blockchain (subject to a Digital Currency being integrated with our Community Platform).

8.3 When Members make a Withdrawal, they dispose of a Digital Currency using our Community Platform and decrease the number of that Digital Currency which they hold in their digital wallet on the Blockchain.

8.4 When a Member wishes to make a Deposit or Withdrawal using our Community Platform, we do not guarantee that a Member can acquire or dispose of a selected Digital Currency for the value which is estimated on our Community Platform, or at all.

8.5 It is the intention of our Community that we hold fiat currencies in bank accounts so that we are in a position to enable Members to dispose of a selected Digital Currency from time to time for fiat currency (for example, as a Transfer to the Member’s bank account), however there is no obligation on our Community to do so for any Member at any time for the value which is estimated on our Community Platform, or at all. 9. SEND AND RECEIVE

9.1 A Member or Guest may Send and Receive money to/from friends and family using the Transfer feature on our Community Platform.

9.2 When Members and Guests use our Community Platform to Send money, they send their own Digital Currencies which they hold in digital wallets on the Blockchain.

9.3 When a Member or Guest Sends money using a Transfer, their Digital Currency is transferred into a stand-alone one-time digital wallet (which is what we call a “Transfer” on our Community Platform), and this Transfer is given a URL link so that it can be shared with a friend or family member.

9.4 Each Transfer created on our Community Platform will certify: (i) the Digital Currency it holds; (ii) the amount of that Digital Currency (that is, the number of coins or tokens); (iii) a digital wallet address where the Digital Currency is held on the Blockchain; (iv) the date and time when the Transfer was created; (v) digital signatures representing the identity of the Member or Guest who created the Transfer; (vi) a unique reference number for tracking the Transfer on our Community Platform; and (vii) a URL link so that the Transfer can be shared with a friend or family member on social media.

9.5 Any Member may use our Community Platform to Deposit the Digital Currency which is in a Transfer’s digital wallet into their Account, and any Member or Guest may deposit the cash equivalent value of the Digital Currency in the Transfer into a nominated bank account.

If you have any concerns about the accuracy or completeness of a Transfer, please contact TIG Help for further assistance and to resolve disputes.

9.7 A Transfer expires 12 months after it has been created. If a Transfer expires, the Digital Currency becomes an asset of our Community. The value of this Digital Currency is used to help fund our Community Platform. 10. TIG CASH APP

10.1 Any Member may Interact with another Member using the TIG Cash App to Deposit and Withdraw cash to/from digital wallets for Digital Currencies which are integrated with our Community Platform.

10.2 When Members use our TIG Cash App to Deposit and Withdraw cash, they acquire and dispose Digital Currency in digital wallets on the Blockchain between each other using our Community Platform.

10.3 A Member’s limit for an Interaction with another Member on the TIG Cash App is Digital Currency to the value of US$1,000. A Member’s aggregated daily limit for all Interactions on the TIG Cash App is Digital Currency to the value of US$10,000.

10.4 Our Standard Terms – TIG Cash App apply to Interactions between Members when using the TIG Cash App.

10.5 You consent to your profile being made available to Members on the TIG Cash App so that Members nearby can find you and seek to Interact with you.

You can turn these features on and off as you wish.

10.6 The TIG Cash App is free. Our Community does not charge for Deposit or Withdrawals of cash using the TIG Cash App. However, we cannot and do not prevent Members who may seek to charge a fee to other Members for Interacting with them using the TIG Cash App. Any agreement between Members about fees is an ancillary agreement between those Members and stands outside the Standard Terms. TIG Help will not get involved in disputes about ancillary fee agreements involving the TIG Cash App.

10.7 Members are responsible for compliance with any local laws and regulations which may apply to their use of the TIG Cash App.

10.8 We may prevent a Member from using the TIG Cash App in our absolute discretion, and will do so where a Member does not act in a manner which is consistent with our Community Rules and Policies.

11.2 TIG Ex is not a third-party exchange. The only trading currency is Tigereum. The only users are our Members. TIG Ex is provided as part of our Community Platform as a benefit solely for Members. 12. COMMUNITY LOAN PROGRAM

12.1 We have a Community Loan Program because we are a Community. It is one of the ways we help each other.

12.2 Our Community Loan Program is a form of peer-to-peer lending between Members. Members who borrow from our Community pay interest on their Community Loans, and Members who participate in the program earn Interest on their Accounts.

12.3 We prioritise making Community Loans to Members in underbanked communities to promote financial inclusion and improve our Members’ way of life.

12.4 Profits from our Community Loan Program help fund our Community.

12.5 When we loan money to other Members in our Community, we must protect Members’ money. We only loan against secured property. We do not loan more than 50% of the secured property’s value. Maximum loan amount is US$500,000 (or equivalent local currency).

12.6 Members maintain ownership of their Digital Currency when they participate in our Community Loan Program.

12.7 Members can earn Interest on their Accounts by agreeing to maintain a minimum balance of US$1,000 and limiting their withdrawals to US$1,000 per day and US$10,000 per month. These limitations continue to apply for 3 months after a Member notifies us that they want to exit our Community Loan Program. The Interest payable from time to time is published on our Website. Interest is payable monthly in arrears by Deposits into Accounts based on the average balance of the Account over the relevant month.

12.8 We are able to pay Interest when Members agree to limit their withdrawals because the funds needed to be reserved for Withdrawals across our Community Platform are less. We can loan some of these reserves out to other Members instead. We profit-share the revenue we receive from Members who borrow, and pay some of that out as “interest” to Members who participate in the Community Loan Program.

12.9 We have a specialist team of experienced lenders who manage our Community Loan Program. Our team liaises with local agents in each country to document and settle loans, and ensure compliance by our Community.

12.10 In the unlikely event that there is a shortage of funds for Withdrawals, for example, if there has been a significant number of Withdrawals or if there has been a significant deterioration in the value of our Community Loan portfolio, participating Members agree that their Withdrawals can be temporarily stopped until the financial position of the Community Loan Program has been restored.

12.11 It is each Member’s responsibility to ensure their own compliance with local laws, when you participate in our Community Loan Program. Where it would not be permissible for our Community to pay Interest on Accounts, or to make loans to a Member, our Community Loan Program is not open to Members in that country.

12.12 To find out more about our Community Loan Program, you can email our specialist team on enquiries@hellotig.com. 13. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

17.1 Members and Guests are solely responsible for compliance with any and all laws, rules, regulations, licences, permits, reporting, and Tax obligations that may apply to your use of our Community Platform.

17.2 All Members and Guests should be especially mindful of your obligations to comply with laws relating to fraudulent financial transactions, anti money-laundering, counter-terrorist financing and reporting suspicious transactions. These are important compliance issues relevant to our Community, and many countries have their own laws to regulate them in their jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with the local laws in your jurisdiction relating to these matters and to comply with them.

17.3 Members and Guests should also be especially mindful of your responsibility to identify, understand, and comply with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to their use of our Community Platform, Digital Currencies, the Blockchain and exchanges for digital assets. For example, some countries have laws that restrict the use of Digital Currencies. In some countries, Members may have to register, get a permit or obtain a licence before using our Community Platform. Members are alone responsible for identifying and obtaining any required licences, permits or registrations applicable to them in their local jurisdiction.

17.4 Certain activities may be prohibited altogether in your country. Penalties may include fines or other enforcement. If you have questions about how local laws apply to our Community Platform, you should always seek legal guidance. You represent and warrant that your use of our Community Platform complies with all local laws in your jurisdiction. If not, you are not eligible to Join our Community or access our Community Platform. 18. CONDUCT IN OUR COMMUNITY

20.1 Members and Guests choose to use our Community Platform voluntarily and at their sole risk. Our Community Platform is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind, either express or implied.

20.2 You agree that, before you use our Community Platform as a Member or Guest, you will take the time to investigate our Community Platform, and to understand what local laws, rules, or regulations may be applicable to you in your jurisdiction in relation to your access and use of the Community Platform. You will not rely upon any statement of law or fact made by us relating to the application of any laws, rules, or regulations.

20.3 If we choose to conduct Identity Verification or background checks on any Member or Guest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim warranties of any kind, either express or implied, that such checks will identify prior misconduct by a Member or Guest or guarantee that a Member or Guest will not engage in misconduct in the future.

20.4 The foregoing disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. You may have other statutory rights, however, the duration of statutorily-required warranties, if any, shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. 21. LIABILITY

21.1 Unless your country of residence is in the European Union, you acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of our Community Platform, or any other Interaction you have with other Members or Guests whether in person or online, remains with you.

21.2 No Member or Guest nor any other party involved in creating, producing or delivering our Community Platform will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages (including lost profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure, or the cost of substitute products or services) or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising: (i) out of or in connection with our Community Rules; (ii) from the use of or inability to use our Community Platform; (iii) from any communications, Interactions or meetings with other Members or Guests or other persons with whom you communicate, interact or meet with as a result of your use of our Community Platform; (iv) from your using an Account to access or use your Digital Currencies; or (v) from Sending or Receiving Digital Currencies using a Transfer, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

21.3 In no event will the aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Community Rules and your use of our Community Platform, or from the use of or inability to use our Community Platform, exceed the current value of your Accounts, or one hundred US dollars (US$100), whichever is the greater. The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between us and you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. If you reside outside of the United States, this does not affect our liability for death or personal injury arising from its negligence, nor for fraudulent misrepresentation, misrepresentation as to a fundamental matter, or any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

21.4 If your country of residence is in the European Union, we are liable under statutory provisions for intent and gross negligence by us, our legal representatives, directors, or other vicarious agents. The same applies to the assumption of guarantees or any other strict liability, or in case of a culpable injury to life, limb or health. We are liable for any negligent breaches of essential contractual obligations by us, our legal representatives, directors, or other vicarious agents. Essential contractual obligations are such duties in which proper fulfilment you regularly trust and must trust for the proper execution of the contract, but the amount shall be limited to the typically-occurring foreseeable damage. Any additional liability of our Community or any of its Members or Guests is excluded. 22. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to release, defend (at our option), indemnify and hold our Community, our Members, Guests, Community Partners and any officers, directors, employees, and agents of our Community Partners, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees arising out of or in any way connected with: (i) your breach of these Community Rules or our Policies; (ii) your improper use of our Community Platform; (iii) your Interaction with any Member or Guest, including, without limitation, any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction; or (iv) your breach of any laws, regulations or third-party rights. 23. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION COMMUNITY RULES

23.1 The Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Community Rules shall apply if: (i) your country of residence is in the United States; or (ii) your country of residence is not in the United States but you bring any claim against a Member or Guest in the United States (to the extent not in conflict with paragraph 25).

23.2 Overview of the Dispute Resolution Process We are committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, our Community Rules provide for a two-part process for individuals to whom paragraph 23.1 applies: Part 1 - an informal negotiation directly with our customer service team, and Part 2 - a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) using its specially designed Consumer Arbitration Rules (as modified by paragraph 22 and except as provided in paragraph 23.5). Specifically, the Consumer Arbitration Rules provide:

  • Claims can be filed with AAA online (www.adr.org);

  • Arbitrators must be neutral and no party may unilaterally select an arbitrator;

  • Arbitrators must disclose any bias, interest in the result of the arbitration, or relationship with any party;

  • Parties retain the right to seek relief in small claims court for certain claims, at their option;

  • The initial filing fee for the consumer is capped at $US200;

  • The consumer gets to elect the hearing location and can elect to participate live, by phone, video conference or, for claims under $US25,000, by the submission of documents;

  • The arbitrator can grant any remedy that the parties could have received in court to resolve the party’s individual claim.

23.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification Prior to initiating an arbitration, you agree to notify the other Member or Guest of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. If, after a good faith effort to negotiate, either of you feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration must agree to notify the other party prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the AAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA Rules.

23.4 Community Rules to Arbitrate It is agreed by Members and Guests that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Community Rules, or the breach, termination, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or to the use of our Community Platform or Community Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration between Members and Guests (the “Arbitration Community Rules”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Community Rules can be enforced or applies to the Dispute, that the arbitrator will decide that issue.

23.5 Exceptions to Arbitration Community Rules It is agreed by Members and Guests that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Community Rules and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights; (ii) any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking or cyber-attack).

23.6 Arbitration Rules and Governing Law The Arbitration Rules may evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and thus the Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1–800–778–7879.

23.7 Modification to AAA Rules - Arbitration Hearing/Location In order to make the location of an arbitration hearing at a place most convenient to everyone, Members and Guests agree that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at their option: (i) in the county where the initial claimant resides; (ii) in San Francisco County; (iii) in any other location to which those Members and Guests who are parties to the arbitration all agree; (iv) via phone or video conference; or (v) by solely the submission of documents to the arbitrator for any claim or counterclaim under $US25,000.

23.8 Modification of AAA Rules - Attorney’s Fees and Costs It is agreed by Members and Guests that the initial claimant will be responsible for payment of any initial filing fee under the AAA Rules. They may be entitled to seek an award of attorney fees and expenses if they prevail in arbitration, to the extent provided under applicable law and the AAA rules. Unless the arbitrator determines that their claim was frivolous or filed for the purpose of harassment, Members and Guests agree to bear their own costs.

23.9 Arbitrator’s Decision The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

23.10 Jury Trial Waiver Members and Guests acknowledge and agree that they are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all Disputes.

23.11 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings Members and Guests acknowledge and agree that they are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney-general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this paragraph is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Community Rules will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute.

23.12 Severability Except as provided in paragraph 23.11, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Community Rules is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Community Rules shall be given full force and effect.

23.13 Changes Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 28 (Modification of These Community Rules), if we change this paragraph 23 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Community Rules) after the date Members last accepted these Community Rules (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Community Rules), Members may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of our email to you notifying you of such a change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between us in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph 23 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Community Rules) as of the date you last accepted these Community Rules (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Community Rules).

23.14 Survival Except as provided in paragraph 23.12 and subject to paragraph 23.8, this paragraph 23 will survive any termination of these Community Rules and will continue to apply even if Members stop using our Community Platform or terminate their Membership. 24. FEEDBACK

Members and Guests may submit feedback by joining our chat group on Telegram t.me/tigereum or emailing us on enquiries@hellotig.com, or by other means of communication.

The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English. The arbitral award rendered is final and binding upon both parties.

25.3 If a Member’s or Guest’s country of residence is outside of the United States and China, the following applies: (i) where the dispute involves a Member or Guest against our Community, these Community Rules and the Standard Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of St Helena; (ii) where the dispute involves two Guests, these Community Rules will be interpreted in accordance with the local laws of the Guest who brings the dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction; (iii) where the dispute involves a Guest and a Member, these Community Rules will be interpreted in accordance with the local laws of the Member; (iv) where the dispute involves two Members, these Community Rules will be interpreted in accordance with the local laws of the Member who brings the dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction; and (v) where the dispute involves a Member or Guest and a Community Partner, these Community Rules will be interpreted in accordance with the local laws of the Community Partner.
