You must be 18 years of age, be located in the United States, be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident in the U.S., have a U.S. social security number, and have a U.S. bank account to use the Services. Your use of the Services remains subject to the Debbie Privacy Policy as updated from time to time (the “Debbie Privacy Policy”) and any other agreements between you and Debbie that apply to your use of the Services. These Terms of Service are provided to you in electronic format pursuant to the Consent to Receive Electronic Disclosures that you accepted and agreed to when you opened your account on the Platform (“Debbie Account”).
“You” and “your” means the person who is authorized to use the Services as provided in these Terms of Service. “We,” “us,” and “our” mean Debbie, and our successors, affiliates, assignees, and third-party service providers.
If there is a conflict between these Terms of Service and any other document or statement made to you concerning the Services, these Terms of Service will govern. If there is a conflict between these Terms of Service and any other document or statement made to you concerning any other service or product, the separate terms, and conditions applicable to that service or product will govern.
You agree to comply with all of the terms and conditions in these Terms of Service. In addition, when using certain Services, you will be subject to any additional terms applicable to such Services that may be posted on the Platform. Continued use of the Services means your ongoing agreement to these Terms of Service.

You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all information supplied to us.
These Terms of Service may be amended or changed at any time by posting the amended documents on the Platform, and any such amendment will be effective upon such posting so check the Platform frequently.

However, if a change is made for security purposes, such change can be implemented without prior notice. When these Terms of Service are changed, the updated version supersedes all prior versions and will govern the Services. Your continued maintenance or use of the Services after the change will be deemed acceptance of any change and you will be bound by it. If you do not agree with a change, you may cease use of the Services. Your termination of these Terms or Service does not affect any of our rights or your obligations arising under these Terms of Service prior to such termination. Your privacy is very important to us.

2. Access to the Service
- SERVICES DESCRIPTION: Debbie is a debt payoff and savings product that rewards users when they improve their financial behaviors.
- ELIGIBILITY: You must be 18 years of age, be located in the United States, be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident in the U.S., have a U.S. social security number, and have a U.S. bank account to use the Services. Use of certain Services may have further eligibility requirements that will need to be verified prior to you using such Services or from time to time in order to continue your use of the Services. Certain features of the Services (including access to Loans as described in Section 2(e)) may be limited or not available depending on the state in which you reside, the date on which you created your Account or other factors.
- YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS: You are required to register on the Platform in order to access and use certain features of the Service. Your acceptance of the Consent to Receive Electronic Disclosures (E-sign Disclosure and Consent) is required to create a Debbie Account. If you choose to register for the Service, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself and your finances. If any of this information changes, it is your obligation to provide updated information as soon as possible. You are responsible for providing Debbie with a correct and operational email address. You must notify Debbie of any change to your email or postal mailing address, or if you are unable to access Account information through our Platform. Debbie will not be liable for any adverse effects as a result of undelivered mail or email or your inability to access Account information through the Platform due to a failure to promptly notify us of a change to your email or postal mailing address. Debbie is not responsible for any costs you incur to maintain internet access or an email account. From time to time, we may also require you to provide further information as a condition for continued use of the Services. We reserve the right to maintain your Account registration information after you close your Debbie Account for business and regulatory compliance purposes. You may register for only one Account. If you open additional Accounts, we reserve the right to immediately close such additional Accounts. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, when you register on the Platform or request certain Services, we may ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.
- MEMBER ACCOUNT PASSWORD AND SECURITY: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and Debbie Account, if any, and are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur in connection with your password or Debbie Account. You agree to (a) immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or Debbie Account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your Debbie Account at the end of each session when accessing the Service. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section. If your status as a user of the Service is terminated, you will (i) stop using the Service and the Platform and any information obtained from the Service or the Platform, and (ii) destroy all copies of your account information, password and any information obtained from the Service.
- ACCESS TO "RATE-CRUSHER" LOANS. Debbie has established relationships with certain third party lenders ("lending partners"). On the Platform, you may receive loan offers from our lending partners that are targeted to your individual financial situation and you may be invited to apply for a loan from our lending partners. We may earn a commission or fee from a lending partner if you finish the loan process with, and a loan is disbursed by, the lending partner. You agree to that compensation arrangement. With the goal of lowering your overall cost of borrowing, Rewards (as defined in the Debbie Reward Program Terms and Conditions) may incentivize you to payoff certain of your other debt with the proceeds of a new loan from a lending partner. If you are eligible to receive any Rewards associated with using a loan to pay-off debt, those Rewards are provided by Debbie and are governed by the Reward Programs Terms and Conditions. After the loan transaction is completed, you will claim the Reward, if any, on the Platform (not through the lending partner website) and verify the newly opened loan account via credit bureau or Plaid.
Certain of Debbie's lending partners ("marketplace lenders") may use information you provide or make available to Debbie, together with other information they may obtain from you and credit bureaus, to determine whether you are eligible for a loan. If you are approved for a loan by a marketplace lender, the marketplace lender may return a pre-approved offer to Debbie and Debbie may present you with that offer on the Platform. If you wish to claim the offer, the Platform will provide you a link to the marketplace lender to submit a loan application, receive final loan offer, sign loan documents, and otherwise consummate the loan transaction with the marketplace lender. An offer will expire at the time indicated on the Platform when the offer is presented to you. Once you link to the marketplace lender, you are not using the Platform and Debbie is not involved in any aspect of the loan transaction.
For certain of Debbie's lending partners ("direct lending partners"), based on information you provide or make available, together with Third-Party Account Information and other data that may be obtained from Plaid and credit bureaus, on the Platform you may be presented with an estimated interest rate for a loan from one or more direct lending partners and an invitation to apply to one or more direct lending partners for a loan. An invitation will expire at the time indicated on the Platform when the invitation is presented to you. The estimates and invitations are not a firm offer of credit because they are based only on preliminary information about you. The estimates and invitations may be accompanied by Debbie's belief of whether or not you are likely to be approved by the direct lending partner for the loan. Any such opinion of Debbie is not a credit approval, pre-approval or denial, and you may still be approved or denied for the loan by the direct lending partner regardless of whether Debbie believed you were or were not likely to be approved. If you are presented with an invitation to apply for a loan on the Platform, you will need to submit a credit application with the direct lending partner in order to receive a loan. If you apply for the loan with the direct lending partner, the direct lending partner will perform a "hard credit inquiry," which may impact your credit score.
If you accept the invitation for a loan from a direct lending partner, depending on the direct lending partner, one of two processes takes place. The first alternative is that the Platform will provide you a link to the direct lending partner. You will then submit a loan application, complete underwriting, sign loan documents, and otherwise consummate the loan transaction directly with the direct lending partner. In this alternative, once you link to the direct lending partner, you are not using the Platform and Debbie is not involved in any aspect of the loan transaction. The second alternative is that you will be prompted to provide additional information on the Platform in order to apply for the loan. That information will be provided to the direct lending partner via a third party technology provider that integrates with the Platform and the direct lending partner, and you authorize that provision of information. Debbie may monitor the status of the loan application with the direct lending partner. If you are approved by the direct lending partner, you will be presented with a loan offer from the direct lending partner on the Platform. You may receive a conditional loan offer, for reasons including, but not limited to, that the direct lending partner needs additional information from you to make the loan or the direct lending partner is requiring that the loan proceeds be paid directly to your creditors. If you accept the offer and fulfill any conditional elements of an offer, you and the direct lending partner will sign loan documents and consummate the loan transaction via the third party technology provider that integrates with the Platform and the direct lending partner. - LOAN-RELATED DISCLAIMERS; CREDIT REPORT AUTHORIZATIONS. In addition to Section 11 below, Debbie is not a lender. You do not have to obtain a loan through a lending partner in order to use other Services, it is your decision whether to apply for or accept a loan, and there is no assurance that a lending partner will make a loan or offer to you. The lending partner, not Debbie, establishes the terms and conditions of any loan or loan offer. Likewise, Debbie does not guarantee that the rates and terms of an offer you may receive from a lending partner are the best terms or lowest rates available in the market. You will receive relevant loan disclosures and other important information from lending partners. You do not apply to Debbie for a loan. We are not responsible for providing you with reasons that your application for a loan may be denied by any lending partner. The lending partners are solely responsible for their responses (including all credit approval, pre-approval or denial decisions), offers and services to you, and you agree that Debbie will not be liable for any damages or costs of any type arising out of or in any way connected with your access or use of responses, offers or services from lending partners. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and content of your Third-Party Account Information and other information you provide in connection with obtaining a loan. Debbie does not warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any product or service advertised or offered by a lending partner, and Debbie will not be a party to or in any way monitor any transaction between you and lending partners.
You consent to a "soft credit inquiry" by Debbie. Our "soft credit inquiry" does not impact your credit score. Soft credit inquiries are shown only on copies of credit reports that are provided to you. Creditors and other users of credit reports cannot see soft inquiries. You also authorize Debbie and the lending partners (and their respective third party service providers) to request from one or multiple credit reporting agencies, your credit bureau report including any ancillary credit scores or ratings. You are also providing written instructions in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other applicable law, for Debbie and the lending partners (and their respective third party service providers) to request and receive information about you from third parties, including but not limited to a copy of your consumer credit report and score from consumer credit reporting agencies. You waive any and all claims against Debbie, lending partners and their respective service providers for the acts or omissions of these parties with regard to the use or disclosure of such information.
Debbie intends to conduct its daily operations in an equal and fair manner with its customers and does not discriminate on the basis of race, marital status, nationality, gender, age, religion, whether income is derived from a public assistance program, or whether a customer has exercised rights under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.

14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
This Dispute Resolution provision (this “Dispute Resolution Provision”) sets forth the circumstances and procedures under which Claims (as defined below) will be arbitrated instead of litigated in court upon the election of either party. Neither you nor we will have the right to: (1) have a court or a jury decide the dispute; (2) engage in information-gathering (discovery) to the same extent as in court; (3) participate in a class action in court or in class arbitration; or (4) join or consolidate a claim with claims of any other persons. Arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. The decision of the arbitrator is final and binding.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION (THAT IS, "OPT-OUT"), YOU MUST NOTIFY US WITHIN SIXTY (60) DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU OPEN YOUR DEBBIE ACCOUNT ON THE PLATFORM BY MAILING A WRITTEN OPT-OUT NOTICE TO US AT 1000 BRICKELL AVE, STE 715 #1557 MIAMI, FL 33131. WE MAY CLOSE YOUR DEBBIE ACCOUNT IF YOU OPT-OUT.
As used in this Dispute Resolution Provision, the term “Claim” means any claim, dispute, or controversy between you and Debbie, or any of its agents or retailers, arising from or relating to these Terms of Service or the Services as well as any related or prior agreement that you may have had with us, including the validity, enforceability or scope of this Dispute Resolution Provision or the Terms of Service. “Claim” includes claims of every kind and nature, including, but not limited to, initial claims, counterclaims, crossclaims and third-party claims and claims based upon contract, tort, fraud and other intentional torts, statutes, regulations, common law, and equity. The term “Claim” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced. We will not elect to use arbitration under the Dispute Resolution Provision for any Claim that you properly file and pursue in a small claims court of your state or municipality so long as the Claim is individual and pending only in that court; any appeals from that court will be pursued only in arbitration. As used in this Dispute Resolution Provision, the terms “we” and “us” will for all purposes mean Debbie, our wholly or majority owned subsidiaries, affiliates, licensees, predecessors, successors, and assigns, and our agents, employees, directors, and representatives. In addition, “we” or “us” will include any third party using or providing any product, service or benefit in connection with the Services (including, but not limited to, third parties who use or provide services, debt collectors and all of their agents, employees, directors and representatives) if, and only if, such third party is named as a co-party with us (or files a Claim with or against us) in connection with a Claim asserted by you. As solely used in this Dispute Resolution Provision, the terms “you” or “yours” will mean all persons or entities using the Services.
NEITHER YOU NOR WE ARE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE DISPUTES BY OR AGAINST OTHERS IN ANY COURT ACTION OR ARBITRATION, OR TO INCLUDE IN ANY COURT ACTION OR ARBITRATION ANY DISPUTE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS, OR TO ACT IN ANY ARBITRATION IN THE INTEREST OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY, UNLESS THOSE PERSONS ARE BENEFICIARIES ON YOUR ACCOUNT. THIS IS SO WHETHER OR NOT THE CLAIM HAS BEEN ASSIGNED. FURTHER, NEITHER YOU NOR WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A CLAIM IN COURT, SUBJECT TO THE SECTION TITLED EXCLUDED CLAIMS, OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON A CLAIM, OR TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE CODE OF PROCEDURES OF JAMS OR AAA.
Any Claim will be resolved, upon the election by you or us, by arbitration pursuant to this Dispute Resolution Provision and the code of procedures of the national arbitration organization to which the Claim is referred in effect at the time the Claim is filed. Claims will be referred to either Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) or the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as selected by the party electing to use arbitration. If a selection by us of one of these organizations is unacceptable to you, you will have the right within thirty (30) days after you receive notice of our election to select the other organization listed to serve as arbitrator administrator. For a copy of the procedures, to file a Claim or for other information about these organizations, contact them as follows: (i) JAMS at 1920 Main Street, Suite 300, Los Angeles, CA 92614; website at www.jamsadr.com; and (ii) AAA at 335 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017; website at www.adr.org.
If either party elects to resolve a Claim by arbitration, that Claim will be arbitrated on an individual basis. There is no right or authority for any Claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving Claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, other Account holders or other persons similarly situated. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve Claims is limited to Claims between you and us alone, and the arbitrator’s authority to make awards is limited to you and us alone. Furthermore, Claims brought by you against us or by us against you may not be joined or consolidated in arbitration with Claims brought by or against someone other than you, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all parties.
Any arbitration hearing that you attend will take place in the federal judicial district of your residence. At your written request, we will consider in good faith making a temporary advance of all or part of the filing administrative and/or hearing fees for any Claim you initiate as to which you or we seek arbitration. At the conclusion of the arbitration (or any appeal thereof), the arbitrator (or panel) will decide who will ultimately be responsible for paying the filing, administrative and/or hearing fees in connection with the arbitration (or appeal). If and to the extent you incur filing, administrative and/or hearing fees in arbitration, including for any appeal, exceeding the amount they would have been if the Claim had been brought in the state or federal court which is closest to your billing address and would have had jurisdiction over the Claim, we will reimburse you to that extent unless the arbitrator (or panel) determines that the fees were incurred without any substantial justification.
This Dispute Resolution Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, as it may be amended (the “FAA”). The arbitration will be governed by the applicable Code, except that (to the extent enforceable under the FAA) this Dispute Resolution Provision will control if it is inconsistent with the applicable Code. The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations and will honor claims of privilege recognized at law and, at the timely request of either party, will provide a brief written explanation of the basis for the decision. In conducting the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator will not apply the Federal or any state rules of civil procedure or rules of evidence. Either party may submit a request to the arbitrator to expand the scope of discovery allowable under the applicable Code. The party submitting such a request must provide a copy to the other party, who may submit objections to the arbitrator with a copy of the objections provided to the other party, within fifteen (15) days of receiving the requesting party’s notice. The granting or denial of such request will be at the sole discretion of the arbitrator who will notify the parties of his/her decision within twenty (20) days of the objecting party’s submission. The arbitrator will take reasonable steps to preserve the privacy of individuals, and of business matters. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA. However, any party can appeal that award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the same arbitration organization, which will consider anew any aspect of the initial award objected to by the appealing party. The appealing party will have thirty (30) days from the date of entry of the written arbitration award to notify the arbitration organization that it is exercising the right of appeal. The appeal will be filed with the arbitration organization in the form of a dated writing. The arbitration organization will then notify the other party that the award has been appealed. The arbitration organization will appoint a three-arbitrator panel, which will conduct arbitration pursuant to its Code and issue its decision within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date of the appellant’s written notice. The decision of the panel will be by majority vote and will be final and binding.
This Dispute Resolution Provision will survive termination of your Account, your use of the Services, these Terms of Service and any bankruptcy by you or us. If any portion of this Dispute Resolution Provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable under any principle or provision of law or equity, consistent with the FAA, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of this Dispute Resolution Provision, these Terms of Service, or any prior agreement you may have had with us, each of which will be enforceable regardless of such invalidity.
15. Termination

With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and Debbie agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Miami, Florida. The failure of Debbie to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service, or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of Debbie, but Debbie may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail.
