Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in of the State of California. Acorns agrees to pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs of entrant to attend the arbitration hearing). Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court.
36. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of the entrants or other participants or Released Parties in connection with the Contest, shall be governed by California law, without giving effect to any choice of law rules that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than California.
37. By entering, accepting a prize and/or otherwise participating in the Contest, you expressly (a) agree that any legal proceedings arising out of or relating in any way to this Contest or these Official Rules that are not subject to mandatory arbitration shall be brought only in the federal or state courts located in the State of California, and (b) consent to the mandatory and exclusive jurisdiction in such courts with respect to any such legal proceedings.

10. GOVERNING LAW AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules or the rights and obligations of entrants, Sponsor or the Released Parties in connection with the Contest will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions that would cause the application of any other laws.
BY ENTERING THE CONTEST, ENTRANT AGREES THAT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (A) ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH THE CONTEST, OR ANY PRIZE AWARDED, WILL BE RESOLVED INDIVIDUALLY, WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY FORM OF CLASS ACTION; (B) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, JUDGMENTS AND AWARDS WILL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL THIRD-PARTY, OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS INCURRED (IF ANY) NOT TO EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10.00), BUT IN NO EVENT WILL ATTORNEYS’ FEES BE AWARDED OR RECOVERABLE; (C) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY ENTRANT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN ANY AWARD FOR, AND ENTRANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO SEEK, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS AND/OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, OTHER THAN ACTUAL OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES NOT TO EXCEED TEN DOLLARS ($10.00), AND/OR ANY RIGHTS TO HAVE DAMAGES MULTIPLIED OR OTHERWISE INCREASED; AND (D) ENTRANTS’ REMEDIES ARE LIMITED TO A CLAIM FOR MONEY DAMAGES (IF ANY) AND ENTRANT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR EQUITABLE RELIEF. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION: The parties each agree to finally settle all disputes only through arbitration; provided, however, the Sponsor shall be entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief in the state and federal courts in the State of California, and any other court with jurisdiction over the parties. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury, and review is limited. The arbitrator’s decision and award are final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The parties agree that, except as set forth above, any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Contest shall be resolved solely by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the streamlined Arbitration Rules Procedures of JAMS Inc. (“JAMS”) or any successor to JAMS. In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a “Demand for Arbitration”, then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or any other mutually agreeable arbitration administration service. If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in the State of California. Federal or state law that applies to these Official Rules will also apply during the arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in of the State of California. Sponsor agrees to pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs of entrant to attend the arbitration hearing). Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court.
12. ENTRY INFORMATION AND CONTEST COMMUNICATIONS: As a condition of entering the Contest, each entrant gives consent for Sponsor to obtain and deliver winner’s name, address, and other information to third parties for the purpose of administering this Contest and to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and rules.

In the event of any discrepancy between the Sponsor’s Privacy Policy and these Official Rules, these Official Rules shall control and govern.
13. MISCELLANEOUS: The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Official Rules or the Declaration will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. In the event that any provision of the Official Rules or the Declaration is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of that provision. Entrants agree to waive any rights to claim ambiguity of these Official Rules. Headings are solely for convenience of reference and will not be deemed to affect in any manner the meaning or intent of the documents or any provision hereof. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Contest-related materials, privacy policy or terms of use on any website, social media platform or application and/or the terms and conditions of the Official Rules, the Official Rules shall prevail, govern, and control and the discrepancy will be resolved in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.

Failure to maintain any of your Acorns Accounts in good standing will cause you to become ineligible for the Promotions. This promotion will be running starting in September 2023 with no target end date; we will continue to offer the promotion to the customers who meet the above criteria.

You must maintain each of your Acorns Green Visa Debit Card, Acorns Checking Account, and Acorns Invest Account in an open and good standing condition on each Round-Ups® investment date. Round-Ups® multipliers will not be matched (e.g., if you have a $0.30 Round-Ups® and a 2X multiplier, Acorns will match $0.30). Round-Ups® investments generated from (i) any other card or account, (ii) manual Round-Ups®, and (iii) whole dollar Round-Ups®, will not be eligible for the VIP Customer Match. All Real-Time Round-Ups® are in the form of investments in your Acorns Invest Account. The total value of these matched Round-Ups® will not exceed $4.95 per customer. Peer to peer transactions are not eligible for matched Round-Ups®.
General Terms
There is no option for a cash alternative to these promotions. If a customer, for any reason, ceases to be a Acorns Green Visa Debit cardholder, that customer is no longer eligible for these promotions. The VIP Customer Matching is an additional Real-Time Round-Ups® investment in your Acorns Invest Account.
To the extent you believe that you are entitled to a VIP Customer Matching that has not been applied, you must notify Acorns within 30 days from the applicable Fee Date by either sending an email to support@acorns.com or completing and submitting a support request at https://www.acorns.com/support/contact.

Acorns shall be entitled to terminate or cancel all or any portion of this or any other promotion at any time by either providing email notice to its customers or posting such cancellation or termination notice at its website or within its mobile application. In addition, Acorns reserves the right to reject or void all or any portion of a contribution under this or any other promotion at any time if Acorns suspects the claim to that contribution was obtained or made fraudulently, unlawfully, or otherwise in violation of these terms. Once an Acorns Invest account is closed, all pending Real-Time Round-Ups® Investments that have not yet been invested will be canceled, including VIP Customer Matching.
Investing involves risk and investments may lose value. Please consider your objectives and Acorns Advisers’ fees before investing. Advisory services are offered by Acorns Advisers, LLC, an SEC-registered investment advisor. Brokerage services are provided to clients of Acorns Advisers by Acorns Securities, LLC, an SEC-registered broker-dealer and member FINRA/SIPC.
Acorns is not a bank. Acorns Visa™ debit cards and banking services are issued by Lincoln Savings Bank or nbkc, members FDIC for Acorns checking holders. Investments are not FDIC insured.
The VIP Customer Matching incentive is intended to encourage Acorns clients to routinely invest by utilizing the automatic Real-Time Round-Ups® feature, available to all clients with an active Invest account and Acorns Green Visa debit card. Although the incentive may attract new customers and increase customer engagement and retention, it is important to note that Acorns Advisers does not receive compensation in the form of “payment for order flow” for directing customer orders, or charge clients percentage-based fees or fees based on a percentage of assets under management for accounts under $1,000,000, and so conflicts of interest between Acorns Advisers and its clients due to this incentive are limited. Please refer to our Wrap Fee Brochure for additional information on the overall conflicts and risks associated with Acorns Advisers.

OFFICIAL RULES
INVESTING FOR HEROES
Promotion September 3, 2021
The Acorns Investing for Heroes Waiver Promotion
Subject to these terms and conditions (the “Waiver Terms”), between September 3, 2021 and September 30, 2021 (the “Application Period”), the first five thousand (5,000) U.S. military veterans and active U.S. military members who meet the eligibility requirements described below, will be eligible to qualify for (i) a limited waiver of their Acorns Family Subscription Fee (as defined in the Acorns Program Agreement) for as long as they remain eligible and (ii) receive a $50 investment in their Acorns Invest Account (the “Investing For Heroes Waiver”).
The Investing for Heroes Waiver is available only to new Acorns subscribers who subscribe to the Acorns Family Tier and is for the monthly Acorns Family Subscription Fee, subject to these Waiver Terms, and existing Acorns customers who contact Acorns Support. You will remain responsible for any other fees that you owe under the Program Agreement that are not included in the monthly Acorns Family Subscription Fee, as applicable.
Eligibility
To be eligible for the Investing For Heroes Waiver, new Acorns subscribers must (i) visit the Investing For Heroes landing page at https://get.acorns.com/military/ (“Landing Page”) and certify that you are an active member of the U.S. military or a U.S. military veteran, (ii) by using the links on the Landing Page, open your first Acorns Account between September 3, 2021 and September 30, 2021, (iii) subscribe to the Acorns Family Tier subscription option, (iv) make an initial investment into your Acorns Invest Account of at least $5, and (v) if requested by Acorns, provide a copy of documentation verifying your veteran or active military status.
To be eligible for the Investing For Heroes Waiver, existing Acorns subscribers must (i) contact Acorns Support between September 3, 2021 and September 30, 2021 and certify that they are an active member of the U.S. military or a U.S. military veteran, (ii) receive confirmation from Acorns Support that they are one of the first five thousand (5,000) to complete eligibility for this waiver, (iii) make, or have already made, an initial investment into your Acorns Invest Account of at least $5, and (iv) if requested by Acorns, provide a copy of documentation verifying your veteran or active military status.
Subject to the limitations below, the Investing For Heroes Waiver will apply to your monthly Acorns Family Tier Subscription Fee for so long as you remain eligible, following the date of your account opening (the “Waiver Period”).
Limitations
This waiver is only available to the first five thousand (5,000) new customers of Acorns who sign up for Acorns between September 3, 2021 and September 30, 2021, and existing customers of Acorns who contact and receive confirmation from Acorns Support that they are one of the first five thousand (5,000) between September 3, 2021 and September 30, 2021. This waiver is not transferable after it has been claimed. The Investing For Heroes Waiver may only be claimed once by each new Acorns customer. If Acorns requests verification of your military status at any point during the Waiver Period, you must provide the requested documentation within fourteen (14) days to obtain eligibility or remain eligible, as applicable. The Investing For Heroes Waiver will continue until the EARLIER of (i) you opt into a pricing tier other than Acorns Family, see below for details on the impact of changing pricing tiers, or (ii) any of your Acorns Portfolio Accounts fall out of good standing for more than thirty (30) days. We may, in our sole discretion, extend the Investing For Heroes Waiver to a customer who otherwise should have had such waiver terminated.
Acorns reserves the right to reward the monthly amount of the Investing For Heroes Waiver in a manner other than a removal of Subscription Fees owed, such as by investing the amount in your Acorns Invest Account. In the event Acorns determines to change the payout mechanism of the Investing For Heroes Waiver, you will be notified prior to such change. Should Acorns change the name or features of the “Acorns Family Tier” your Investing For Heroes Waiver will automatically transfer to the lowest priced tier that includes the features of the Acorns Family Tier. If such pricing tier exceeds $5/month, your waiver will increase to offset the monthly Subscription Fee of such tier. If you elect to upgrade to a higher pricing tier, Acorns will offset the price of such upgraded tier by $5/month and you will be responsible for the remainder of subscription fee amount. For the avoidance of doubt, if you select a tier at a price lower than $5/month, your waiver will apply to the cost of that tier, though you will not be entitled to receive the difference between $5 and the monthly cost of such lower tier. Acorns reserves the right to amend or cancel this waiver and/or these Waiver Terms at any time. Waiver available to U.S residents only. Waiver available to current or former members of a branch of the United States military. This promotion is non-transferrable.
We, and each of our affiliates, reserve the right to determine in our and/or its sole or joint discretion whether an account is closed and/or in good standing. An account in good standing for purposes of this Investing For Heroes Waiver is an account for which all required opening documentation has been completed and verified, and is not locked, or restricted, or otherwise flagged in any way. If any of your Acorns Portfolio Accounts are closed or not in good standing for any reason at any time, any fee waiver you receive will be forfeited. Acorns reserves the right to revoke or deny any Investing For Heroes Waiver if it has reason to believe there is fraud or other improper actions taken to claim or maintain the waiver.
The fee waiver available pursuant to this Promotion is for your monthly Acorns Family Subscription Fee, and you remain responsible for any other fees that you owe that are not included in your monthly Acorns Family Subscription Fee. A list of such ancillary fees is included in our Program Agreement. Each Acorns Portfolio account is an individual brokerage account advised by Acorns Advisers, LLC. Acorns is not responsible for any failure on your part to meet standards for qualifying for this promotion. Acorns may withhold or recover any fees waived if Acorns determines that such fee waiver was obtained under wrongful or fraudulent circumstances, that inaccurate or incomplete information was provided when opening your account or applying for the Acorns Babies Waiver, or that any terms of our Program Agreement, Terms of Use, or these Waiver Terms have been violated.

Promotion June 22, 2020
The Acorns Babies Waiver Promotion
Subject to these terms and conditions (the “Waiver Terms”), between June 22, 2020 and March 1, 2021 (the “Application Period”), when you meet the eligibility requirements described below, you will be eligible to qualify for a limited waiver of your Acorns Family Subscription Fee (as defined in the Acorns Program Agreement) when you open and fund an Acorns Early Account for a child verified as born in 2020 (the “Acorns Babies Waiver”).
The Acorns Babies Waiver is available only to new Acorns subscribers who subscribe to the Acorns Family Tier and is for the monthly Acorns Family Subscription Fee, subject to these Waiver Terms. You will remain responsible for any other fees that you owe under the Program Agreement that are not included in the monthly Acorns Family Subscription Fee, as applicable.
Eligibility
To be eligible for the Acorns Babies Waiver, you must (i) open your first Acorns Account on or after June 22, 2020, (ii) subscribe to the Acorns Family Tier subscription option, (iii) complete registration for at least one Acorns Early Account for a beneficiary born in 2020, and (iv) submit a birth certificate for the beneficiary born in 2020, and have such birth certificate verified by Acorns on or before March 1, 2021 (upon verification, the beneficiary will be considered a “Verified Beneficiary” for purposes of these Waiver Terms). Subject to the limitations below, the Acorns Babies Waiver will apply to your monthly Acorns Family Tier Subscription Fee until the Verified Beneficiary turns eighteen (18) years old (the “Waiver Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, Acorns Early Accounts may be opened for the benefit of a child who is not your dependent.
Limitations
This waiver is only available to new customers of Acorns who sign up for Acorns between June 22, 2020 and March 1, 2021. This waiver is not transferable after it has been claimed. The Acorns Babies Waiver may only be claimed once by each new Acorns customer. Each Verified Beneficiary may only be used by one Acorns customer to claim the Acorns Babies Waiver. The Acorns Babies Waiver will continue until the EARLIER of (i) the Early Account for the Verified Beneficiary is closed, (ii) you opt into a pricing tier other than Acorns Family, (iii) there is a $0 or negative balance in the Verified Beneficiary’s Acorns Early Account for thirty (30) days or more (iii) any of your Acorns Portfolio Accounts fall out of good standing for more than thirty (30) days, (iv) the Verified Beneficiary turns eighteen (18) years old or (v) you have reached the maximum value of the Acorns Babies Waiver of $1,080. We may, in our sole discretion, extend the Acorns Babies Waiver to a customer who otherwise should have had such waiver terminated.
We, and each of our affiliates, reserve the right to determine in our and/or its sole or joint discretion whether an account is closed and/or in good standing. An account in good standing for purposes of this Acorns Babies Waiver is an account for which all required opening documentation has been completed and verified, and is not locked, or restricted, or otherwise flagged in any way. If any of your Acorns Portfolio Accounts are closed or not in good standing for any reason at any time, any fee waiver you receive will be forfeited. Acorns reserves the right to revoke or deny any Acorns Babies Waiver if it has reason to believe there is fraud or other improper actions taken to claim or maintain the waiver.
The fee waiver available pursuant to this Promotion is for your monthly Acorns Family Subscription Fee, and you remain responsible for any other fees that you owe that are not included in your monthly Acorns Family Subscription Fee. A list of such ancillary fees is included in our Program Agreement. The fee waiver available pursuant to this promotion shall not apply in the event you elect to upgrade and/or downgrade your monthly Acorns Family Subscription Fee at any time during the Waiver Period. Each Acorns Portfolio account is an individual brokerage account advised by Acorns Advisers, LLC. Acorns is not responsible for any failure on your part to meet standards for qualifying for this promotion. Acorns may withhold or recover any fees waived if Acorns determines that such fee waiver was obtained under wrongful or fraudulent circumstances, that inaccurate or incomplete information was provided when opening your account or applying for the Acorns Babies Waiver, or that any terms of our Program Agreement, Terms of Use, or these Waiver Terms have been violated.
The maximum potential Subscription Fee waived through this Acorns Babies Waiver is $1,080. You are not entitled to the entire waiver value unless you meet all requirements contained in these Waiver Terms for each consecutive month from the date you are notified of your qualification for the Acorns Babies Waiver, through the month in which the Verified Beneficiary turns eighteen (18) years old.
Acorns reserves the right to reward the monthly amount of the Acorns Babies Waiver in a manner other than a removal of Subscription Fees owed, such as by investing the amount in your Acorns Invest Account. In the event Acorns determines to change the payout mechanism of the Acorns Babies Waiver, you will be notified prior to such change. Should Acorns change the name or features of the “Acorns Family Tier” your Acorns Babies Waiver will automatically transfer to the lowest priced tier that includes Acorns Early. If such pricing tier exceeds $5/month, your waiver will offset the monthly Subscription Fee of such tier by $5/month. Acorns reserves the right to amend or cancel this waiver and/or these Waiver Terms at any time. Waiver available to U.S residents only. This promotion is non-transferrable.
