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.
