EARN, Inc. dba SaverLife (“SaverLife”) provides various programs designed to provide eligible participants with incentives to increase their savings or otherwise enhance engagement with financial education and savings (each, a “Program”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement (“Agreement”) between you and SaverLife and govern your access to and use of any Program or other SaverLife service that links to or refers to these Terms. Participation in any individual Program may be subject to supplemental terms and conditions (“Program Rules”).
Please carefully review these Terms and any applicable Program Rules before applying for or participating in the Program. Individual Program Rules may specify important information, including eligibility criteria, withdrawal rights, and the terms of any applicable financial reward. By participating in a Program or any other SaverLife services that link to these Terms, you agree to accept and be bound by these Terms and any applicable Program Rules.
THESE TERMS CONTAIN DISCLAIMERS (SECTION 8), LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY (SECTION 9), AND A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER (SECTION 12).
SaverLife reserves the right to change or modify any of the terms and conditions contained in the Terms at any time at its sole discretion. Your continued use of the Program following the posting of changes or modifications will confirm your acceptance of such changes or modifications.
- General Program Terms
- You have no right to Program incentives, which are not federally insured nor held in trust for you and which do not accrue interest prior to, during, or after the applicable Program term. Without limitation:
- SaverLife may determine that it does not have sufficient funds to provide you an incentive at any time before, during, or after the Program, including during or after the application process.
- You will not be eligible to receive any incentive if your participation in a Program is terminated for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary.
- SaverLife reserves the right to decline participation in a Program to anyone either before or after opening an account. Except where subsequent accounts are specifically authorized by applicable Program Rules, you shall not open more than one account with SaverLife.
SaverLife reserves the right to terminate your participation in a Program if you open, or attempt to open, more than one account with SaverLife. SaverLife, the SaverLife Programs, and any SaverLife account (“Program Account”) do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, national origin, ancestry, ethnicity, religious affiliation, physical or mental disability, age, medical condition, or sexual orientation. - In some cases, SaverLife may partner with a third party to enhance Program engagement, such as by providing participants enhanced or additional incentives for meeting savings goals or objectives (our “Program Partners”). The applicable eligibility requirements for participation and eligibility may vary by Program Partner and supplemental Program Rules may apply. You acknowledge that Program Partners may receive data and information consistent with SaverLife’s Privacy Policy.
- You are solely responsible for determining whether an incentive and, if applicable, any accrued interest is subject to state, federal, or other taxes or other encumbrances or legal obligations. You are responsible for any tax due with respect to the incentive and interest, even if the tax should have been withheld by another party and was not withheld.
- We and our partners shall have the right, in our sole discretion, to establish or change limits concerning use of the Programs, temporarily or permanently, including but not limited to the number of times (and the maximum duration for which) you may access a Program or the number of Programs in which you may participate in a given period of time. We reserve the right to make any such changes effective immediately, including to maintain the security of the system or information or data or to comply with any laws or regulations.
- SaverLife utilizes Hyperwallet payment services to deliver payments to you. Such payment services are subject to the Hyperwallet Terms of Service and the Hyperwallet Privacy Policy .
- Linked Savings Accounts
- Program participation may require you to successfully link a qualifying financial account or instrument with your online account using Plaid Technologies Inc. or another similar partner selected by SaverLife (“Aggregator”) (“Linked Savings Account”). This means you may not be able to participate if you do not have a relationship with a bank, depository institution, or other financial services provider (collectively referred to as “Financial Providers”) that allows Programs to access their services.
- By linking your account, you provide SaverLife and Aggregator access to Linked Savings Account activity. You hereby authorize SaverLife and Aggregator to access information from your Financial Provider, including your account login details, such as username(s), passwords, and answers to security questions; contact details, such as your email, address and phone number on file with your Financial Provider; account information, such as account names, numbers and balances; transaction histories, such as charges, credits, debits and deposits; information about credit, loan and investment accounts (where applicable); and information from third-parties, such as fraud and identity verification services (“Account Data”) during any period in which your Linked Savings Account remains linked to a Program. You hereby provide any required authorization to SaverLife, Aggregator and your Financial Provider to make your Account Data available to each other in connection with Program participation.
- To de-link your Linked Savings Account from your account, please visit the “Profile” section of the applicable Program Account web portal. Please note that if you de-link your account you may no longer be eligible for the applicable Program and/or cease to be eligible for Program incentives.
- You may not participate in applicable Programs unless your Linked Savings Account satisfies the following:
- Your Linked Savings Account is in your name. It may be a joint account, but, a joint account may only be used in a Program under one accountholder’s name.
- If you change your Linked Savings Account you may lose Program incentives accrued with a prior Linked Savings Account.
- You may not be permitted to enroll in a Program Account using a Linked Savings Account that previously has been linked with another Program Account. This means that, if you are a joint accountholder and the joint account is linked to a Program Account, you may not be eligible to open a second Program Account using the joint account.
- Where relevant to incentives, SaverLife reserves the right to determine the time at which a particular deposit was made (for example, if a deposit is recorded by your financial institution as “pending” and “cleared” on different dates, SaverLife reserves the right to determine the month in which to treat the particular deposit as having been made ).
- IMPORTANT PROGRAM-SPECIFIC DISCLAIMERS
- SaverLife is not a bank, and SaverLife Programs will not provide you with a depository or other financial account. Rather, eligible participants in certain Programs may accumulate savings in accounts with their own bank, depository institution, or other Financial Services Provider pursuant to their own relationship with such Financial Providers. Please reference your account or other agreement with your Financial Provider for information about the terms of your relationship with your provider (e.g., deposit insurance, interest, fees, etc.).
- Do not rely on SaverLife accounts, dashboards or other interfaces for accurate information, including information about your Account Data. You should not make any financial decisions in reliance on information presented by SaverLife but rather contact your Financial Provider. Without limitation, Programs may “refresh” Account Data nightly or at other intervals, so your most recent transactions may not be reflected in any account balances or other account information presented to you via Program Accounts.
- SaverLife IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR, THE CONDUCT OF ALL THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE FOLLOWING THIRD PARTIES: PLAID AND ANY OTHER AGGREGATOR, FINANCIAL PROVIDERS, AND PROGRAM PARTNERS (each, a “Third-Party Service”). By participating in any Program, you acknowledge and agree that SaverLife does not control the conduct of third parties and your ability to access and use Aggregator’s or other Third-Party Services will be subject to the discretion and terms of the applicable Third-Party Service. You should not enroll or participate in a Program Account if you do not agree to be subject to any applicable terms and conditions governing your relationship with SaverLife, an Aggregator, your Financial Provider, and any Program Partner(s).
- SaverLife may permanently close your Program Account and/or terminate or deny your participation in a Program at any time if any of the following occurs:
- You speak disrespectfully to, use threatening language toward, or act in an unprofessional or inappropriate manner toward SaverLife personnel.
- You are in breach of these Terms or the Program Rules in any respect or fail to meet any of the eligibility criteria or conditions outlined in these Terms, in the Program Rules, or elsewhere communicated to you by SaverLife personnel.
- User Representations, Warranties, and Covenants.
The following additional representations, warranties, and covenants are applicable. By opening a Program Account or otherwise participating in the Program you represent, warrant, and agree to the following:
- You have a Linked Savings Account in your name; and all information submitted to SaverLife is correct and accurate.
- You comply with applicable laws and regulations in using, accessing or distributing Programs, including any data provided via Programs.
- You are fully responsible for (i) the security of data on your devices, websites or otherwise in your possession or control, (ii) maintaining the confidentiality and security of all security and access information, used by you, or anyone you authorize on your behalf, to access Programs and your Linked Savings Account and (iii) preventing unauthorized access to or use of the information, files or data that you store or use in or with Programs. You agree to comply with all applicable state and federal laws and rules in connection with your collection, security and dissemination of any personal, financial, credit card, or transaction information, and to immediately notify SaverLife if you become aware of any loss, theft, or unauthorized use of Programs or your Program Account.
- You have the right and authority to provide all authorizations and consents provided hereunder or otherwise to SaverLife.

For example, and without limitation, you may not and shall not permit any third party to:
- Impersonate any Person or otherwise misrepresent your credentials, affiliation, or the origin of any information you provide.

- Engage in any unauthorized spidering, “scraping,” or harvesting of content or personal information, or use any other unauthorized means to compile information.
- Engage in any other conduct that restricts, or inhibits any third party from using or enjoying any SaverLife Program, or that, in our sole judgment, exposes us or any of our affiliates, users or any other third party to any liability, damages, or detriment of any type.
- Use any SaverLife Program or data provided via any SaverLife Program in any way in furtherance of criminal, fraudulent, or other unlawful activity, or engage in, encourage or promote any activity that violates these Terms or any applicable Program Rules.
Violations of system or network security may be subject to civil or criminal liability. We may investigate and work with law enforcement authorities to prosecute users who violate the Terms or the Program Rules. We may suspend or terminate your access to any Program for any or no reason at any time without notice.

WITHOUT LIMITATION TO THE FOREGOING, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER SaverLife, NOR ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE, PROGRAM PARTNER, OR OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE PROGRAM, BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR LOSSES IN EXCESS OF $500.
- Indemnification
You hereby agree to indemnify and hold SaverLife and any Third-Party Services harmless from any and all claims, liability and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of your use of any Program or breach of these Terms or the Program Rules (collectively referred to as “Claims”). SaverLife reserves the right, in its sole discretion and at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any Claims. You agree to reasonably cooperate as requested by SaverLife in the defense of any Claims.
- General
These Terms and any applicable Program Rules constitute the entire agreement of the parties, superseding all prior or contemporaneous communications or proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. If any provision of these Terms or the Program Rules is held to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions and will be replaced by an enforceable provision that comes closest to the intention underlying the unenforceable provision.
No failure or delay of any party to this agreement in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. You will not assign these Terms, the Program Rules, or any rights or obligations herein without the prior written consent of SaverLife and any attempted assignment in contravention of this provision is null and void and of no force or effect. However, SaverLife has the right to assign these Terms, the Program Rules, and any of its rights or obligations herein. These Terms and any applicable Program Rules are binding upon each party and its respective successors, heirs, trustees, administrators, executors, and permitted assigns.
Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any person other than the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature under or by reason of this agreement.
Use of the Programs may be available through a compatible mobile device and/or may require Internet access and software. You agree that you are solely responsible for these requirements, including any applicable changes, updates, and fees as well as the terms of your agreement with your mobile device and telecommunications provider, if applicable.
- Choice of Law, Binding Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver
- Choice of Law / Jurisdiction / Venue. These Terms and all disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any lawsuits, arbitration hearings, or other proceedings involving a dispute or claim between you and us that arises or relates to these Terms or the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation the enforcement of the Arbitration Agreement below or the entry of judgment on any arbitration award shall be venued exclusively in San Francisco, California..
- ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. This Arbitration Agreement shall apply if you (i) reside in the United States; or (ii) do not reside in the United States, but bring any claim against SaverLife in the United States. With respect to any and all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to Programs, these Terms or any applicable Program Rules (collectively, “Claims”), you and SaverLife agree to negotiate in good faith to achieve a mutually satisfactory resolution. If you and SaverLife do not resolve any Claim by such informal negotiation, any Claim must be resolved exclusively by mandatory binding individual (not class) arbitration in San Francisco, California or your state of residence in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. You give up the right to litigate (or participate in as a party or class member) all CLAIMS in court before a judge or jury. Instead, all Claims will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. You and SaverLife further agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s award. If a court or an arbitrator with proper jurisdiction determines that applicable law precludes enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement as to any particular Claim, then that Claim (and only that Claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Claim under the California Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 shall not be subject to arbitration and may be brought in court.
ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE OR LITIGATE ANY CLAIM IN ANY FORUM WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NEITHER SAVERLIFE NOR YOU WILL SEEK TO HAVE ANY CLAIM HEARD AS A CLASS ACTION OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you permanently and irrevocably waive the right to bring any Claim in any forum unless you provide SaverLife with written notice of the event or facts giving rise to the Claim within one (1) year of their occurrence.
