21. Waiver of Jury Trial and Arbitration Agreement

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS HOW DISPUTES, IF ANY, BETWEEN YOU AND STARSHIP WILL BE RESOLVED.

Applicability and Right to Opt-Out: This provision applies to You, unless You have opted-out by following the steps set forth herein. You may opt-out of the agreement to arbitrate disputes but only if we receive from You a written notice of opt-out within thirty (30) days after You have accepted these Terms. You must send the notice of opt-out to: Starship, 1201 Broadway, Suite 909, New York, NY 10001, Attn: Privacy. Your opt-out notice must include your name, address, phone number, and personal signature. Opting-out of arbitration will not affect your other rights or responsibilities under these Terms. If You opt-out of arbitration, neither You nor we will be subject to an agreement to arbitrate.

Agreement to Arbitrate:

In the event of any claim, counterclaim, cross-claim, complaint, cross-complaint, controversy, or dispute (“Dispute”) between You and Starship arising under, out of, or in any way related to Your account or HSA or the Website or the Application, or the interactions between You and Starship, either You or Starship may choose to require the other to resolve the Dispute by binding arbitration on an individual basis instead of in court provided, however, that the obligation to arbitrate shall not be binding upon any party with respect to (a) any suit to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator, (b) requests for preliminary injunctions, temporary restraining orders, specific performance or other procedures in a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain interim relief when deemed necessary by such court to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable injury pending resolution by arbitration of the actual Dispute, (c) 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, or (d) actions to collect payments not subject to a bona fide Dispute. The term “Dispute” includes any (i) claim related to the validity in general of the Terms; (ii) claim, defense or dispute concerning the making, cancellation, existence, validity, enforceability, revocation or scope of these Terms; (iii) claim, controversy or dispute without regard to when it arose, whether it is based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, common law, or equity, or whether the remedy sought is legal or equitable, including claims for compensatory, monetary and/or punitive damages, restitution and/or disgorgement, or injunctions; (iv) claim or controversy or dispute with respect to validity, rescission, revocation, enforceability, coverage or scope of this agreement to arbitrate; and (v) disagreement or controversy regarding whether You effectively opted-out of this agreement to arbitrate. The arbitrator shall decide all Disputes. The term “Dispute” DOES NOT include any claim regarding the making of this agreement to arbitrate. You agree that this agreement to arbitrate may be enforced by Starship or our affiliates, subsidiaries, or parents, and each of their officers, directors, employees, and agents and any third-party co-defendant of a claim subject to this agreement to arbitrate.

No Jury Trial, No Consolidation, No Class Action.:

If You or Starship require arbitration, neither party shall have the right to litigate a Dispute in court or to have a jury trial with respect to a Dispute. Instead, any Dispute will be determined by an arbitrator in accordance with the terms of this agreement to arbitrate. Also, discovery and appeal rights are limited in arbitration. Further, in arbitration, only Your individual demands for damages, injunctive relief, restitution or disgorgement can be resolved in arbitration, and neither You nor Starship may join or consolidate disputes in arbitration by or against other sellers or litigants, or litigate in court (whether individually or as part of class action), or arbitrate any disputes as a representative or member of a class or in a representative or private attorney general capacity. However, this arbitration agreement shall not be construed to prevent You from seeking in the arbitration the remedy of public injunctive relief.

Governing Law:

This agreement to arbitrate is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§1-16) (“FAA”) shall govern this arbitration agreement, including without limitation, all issues relating to the making, cancellation, rescission, validity, revocation, enforceability, scope, or revocation of this agreement to arbitrate, and any issue of whether a particular claim or dispute is arbitrable or whether You effectively opted-out of this agreement to arbitrate. The FAA shall also govern any issue related to the confirmation of the arbitral award.

Administration of the Arbitration:

The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”), as modified by this arbitration provision. A copy of the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules can be obtained from JAMS at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/ or (800) 352-5267. The arbitrator shall be selected from the JAMS panel of neutrals then active on the roster maintained by the JAMS office located in or nearest to Clara County, California and the arbitrator shall be a retired federal judge, a retired state appellate judge, or a retired state trial judge in that order of preference. In the event that the parties do not agree on the identity of the arbitrator, JAMS shall appoint an arbitrator in accordance with the identified rules and the arbitrator qualifications set forth herein. If JAMS is completely unavailable, and if You and Starship cannot agree on a substitute, then either You or Starship may request that a court appoint a substitute administrator.

Fees and Costs of Arbitration:

Each party shall bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of proofs. If You lose the arbitration, and applicable law allows Starship to recover our attorney’s fees, the arbitrator will decide whether You must reimburse Starship for such fees. If You win the arbitration, and applicable law authorizes an award of costs and fees to the prevailing party, the arbitrator may decide that You are entitled to be reimbursed your reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (if actually paid by You).

Arbitration Decisions and Appeals:

A single arbitrator will be appointed. The arbitrator must: (a) follow the FAA including (without limitation) with respect to the issues governed by the FAA (identified above); (b) subject to the FAA, apply federal law including the FAA to any other issues related to the Dispute that would be governed by federal law in court; (c) subject to the FAA, apply the law of the state of your residence set forth in this contract to any other issues related to the Dispute that would be governed by state law in court; (d) apply the JAMS Rules identified in this agreement to arbitrate to the extent not inconsistent with the FAA, other applicable law, or the terms of this arbitration agreement; (e) apply applicable statutes of limitations; (f) honor valid assertions of privilege under applicable law; (g) issue a written decision stating the reasons for the award; and (h) the arbitrator is authorized to grant any relief authorized by law, this Agreement, and the JAMS Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and, except as provided herein, for appeals, any court of competent jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the arbitral award issued by a single arbitrator pursuant to the FAA. However, if more than $100,000 was genuinely in dispute, or there is a claim for public injunctive relief as allowed under California law, then either You or Starship may choose to appeal to a new panel of three arbitrators selected in the same manner as set forth above. Upon a timely appeal, the appellate panel is completely free to accept or reject the entire original award or any part of it. The appeal must be filed with the arbitration administrator not later than thirty (30) days after the original award issues. Any court of competent jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the arbitral award of the appellate panel.

Survival of this Provision:

This agreement to arbitrate provision shall survive the termination of Your account or HSA, if applicable.

Severability Provision Applicable to this Agreement to Arbitrate:

If any portion of this arbitration agreement cannot be enforced, the unenforceable portion will be severed and the rest of this arbitration agreement will continue to apply, except that if a court or the arbitrator decides that a Dispute can be heard on a class or representative basis, and that decision is not reversed on appeal, then the agreement to arbitrate shall be void.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, IF YOU RESIDE IN CALIFORNIA AND YOU DO NOT OPT-OUT OF ARBITRATION, YOU MAY SEEK PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IN ARBITRATION TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. Alternatively, if Your Dispute involves a claim for public injunctive relief under California law, You may bring that claim in court. If You bring such claim in court, You further agree that We may treat such a claim as a Dispute within the meaning of the arbitration agreement set forth in this Section 21, and that Starship would then have the right to demand arbitration, and if You refuse such demand, to move to enforce arbitration in accordance with the terms of the foregoing arbitration agreement pursuant to the FAA. If Starship loses the motion to compel arbitration, You agree to stay Your claim in court for public injunctive relief pending (a) exhaustion of Starship’s right to appeal in court from the ruling against it, and (b) completion of arbitration of all other Disputes. If Starship wins its motion to compel arbitration, Your claims for injunctive relief will be decided in arbitration in accordance with the terms of the foregoing arbitration agreement, inclusive of the requirement that the arbitration may award injunctive relief only as is necessary to remedy Your own alleged injury or to prevent future injury to You alone.

  • We have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce the terms or conditions of the Starship Terms of Use including investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect against imminent harm to the rights, property or safety of Starship, its customers or the public as required or permitted by applicable law.

8. Sharing Information with Strategic Partners

We may enter into strategic alliances or partnerships with third parties for the purposes of jointly providing additional services. To do so, it may be necessary to share with such third parties limited personal information such as Your name, address, telephone number, and email addresses for the purpose of providing You information regarding such products and services. If You choose to provide personal information or consent to the use of existing personal information for the purposes of subscribing to such additional products or services, both we and our partner may share ownership of this personal information. In any case, we will require that the privacy policies of such partners provide substantially similar protections to those provided by Starship.

9. Third Party and Corporate Subscriptions

If Your access to Starship’s Services is provided by Your employer or a Third Party, Your employer or that Third Party may provide us with limited amounts of personal information about You to enable Your access to the Services. In addition, Your employer or the Third Party may require us to provide information about Your access to the Services, for example to verify that You are using the Services they have purchased on Your behalf. In addition, we may be required to provide Your employer or Third Party with personally identifiable information in order to enforce compliance with the Starship Terms of Use.

10. Choice/Opt Out

Starship offers You the choices and means to limit use and disclosure of Your personally identifiable information.

Starship will provide You with a clear, conspicuous, readily available mechanism to exercise this choice. We will take all reasonable steps to honor Your request. You may exercise this opt out choice by contacting us support@starshiphsa.com or in writing enumerating Your opt out choices to Starship, 1201 Broadway, Suite 909, New York, NY 10001.

14. How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?

This California Privacy Statement is for California Residents only and supplements the Privacy Notice above. This policy is provided to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). This policy describes the personal information that the Company (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects in the course of its business, explains how this information is shared, disclosed, and sold, describes rights provided by the CCPA to California Residents (“consumers” or “You”) regarding their personal information, and explains how consumers can exercise those rights.

California Residents include every individual who is in California for other than a temporary or transitory purpose, and every individual who is domiciled in California but who is outside of California for a temporary or transitory purpose.

18. Information We Collect

We may collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with You or Your household (“personal information”). “Personal information” does not include publicly available information, de-identified or aggregate consumer information, and information exempted from the CCPA, such as information covered by or collected under certain industry-specific laws including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the California Financial Information Privacy Act, and the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act of 1994.

19. How We Collect Your Personal Information

We may obtain Your personal information in the following ways:

Personal Information You Provide Us Directly:

When You subscribe to a Starship Service or Account, or purchase any other products or services from us or our partners, You may need to give personal information necessary to establish Your account and provide the Service and to authorize us to obtain information from various credit services in order to collect Your payment. We collect and may retain personal information (such as Your first and last name, telephone number, mailing address, email address, date of birth, and other general information) that You voluntarily provide us through Your interaction with us by phone, by mail, by e-mail, by fax, at our offices, and through our Website or Application in order to provide You with the service(s) we offer, and to operate and maintain Your account, or products or service provided (e.g., when You call us or visit our Website or Application with questions, when You open an account or engage in transactions).

Personal Information We Receive From You When You Visit Our Website or Application:

When You visit our Website or Application, we collect personal information on the efficiency and working of our site (e.g., cookies, IP addresses). Similar to other commercial websites, our Website uses “cookies”, “web beacons”, and web server logs and Web Traffic Analytic Services to collect information about how our Website is used. The information gathered may include the date and time of visits and page views. We collect specific data about User use of our Services, including the pages accessed by UserID and when they are accessed. This information is collected to ensure individual and corporate compliance with the Starship Terms of Use, and to allow You to customize Your use of the Website or Application. We may collect information about specific searches with the intention of identifying what features of the Website are frequently accessed but do not correlate it to a specific individual. This ensures we can continue to develop our Website to meet the needs of our Users.

Personal Information We Receive Directly Or Indirectly From Other Parties:

We also collect Your personal information directly or indirectly from others, such as consumer reporting agencies (credit and debit bureaus), affiliates, agents, or other companies.

20. How We Use Your Personal Information

We may use or disclose the personal information we collect for one or more of the following business or commercial purposes:

  • To fulfill or meet the reason for which the personal information was provided. For example, if You have provided personal information to us in order to open an HSA, we will use that information to determine if You qualify for an account and, if so, to open such an account.
  • To provide You with information, products, or services that You request from us.
  • Performing services such as maintaining or servicing accounts, providing customer service, processing or fulfilling orders and transactions, verifying customer information, processing payments, providing advertising or marketing services, providing analytic services, or providing similar services on behalf of the business or service provider.
  • Detecting security incidents, protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, and prosecuting those responsible for that activity.
  • Debugging to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  • For short-term, transient use.
  • Internal research for technological development and demonstration.
  • Verification, maintenance, or improvement of the quality of our services and devices.
  • Auditing related to a current interaction with the consumer and concurrent transactions, including, but not limited to, counting ad impressions to unique visitors, verifying positioning and quality of ad impressions, and auditing compliance with this specification and other standards.
  • If the personal information is part of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other transaction where a Third Party assumes control of us, the information will be shared as permitted by the CCPA.
  • To advance our commercial or economic interest not otherwise identified above.

The CCPA also does not restrict our ability to:

  • Comply with federal, state, or local laws.
  • Comply with civil, criminal, or regulatory inquiries, investigations, subpoenas, or summonses by federal, state, or local authorities.
  • Cooperate with law enforcement agencies concerning conduct or activity that the business, service provider, or Third Party reasonably and in good faith believes may violate federal, state, or local law.
  • Exercise or defend legal claims.
  • Collect, use, retain, sell, or disclose deidentified consumer information or aggregate consumer information.
  • Collect or sell Your personal information if every aspect of that commercial conduct takes place wholly outside of California. “Commercial conduct takes place wholly outside of California” if we collect Your personal information while You are outside of California, no part of the sale of Your personal information occurs in California, and no personal information collected while You are in California is sold. Notwithstanding, we are not permitted to store, including on a device, Your personal information when You are in California and then collect that personal information when You and the stored personal information are outside of California.

21. When We Use and Share Your Information

We may disclose Your personal information with third parties in order to carry out specific business purposes. In the preceding 12 months, we have disclosed consumers’ personal information for business purposes to the following categories of third parties:

  • Our subsidiaries and affiliates.
  • Our contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to enable us to process, validate, verify and deliver Services that consumers have ordered and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
  • If You provide Your consent for a specific purpose, such as to establish an account using a credit card.
  • For our events where individuals have registered to participate and where we are an organizer in conjunction with a partner or a third party event manager, information has been disclosed to these partners or event managers who have been directed to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
  • We may enter into strategic alliances or partnerships with third parties for the purposes of jointly providing additional services. To do so, it may be necessary to share with such third parties limited personal information such as Your name, address, telephone number and email addresses for the purpose of providing You information regarding such products and services. If You choose to provide personal information or consent to the use of existing personal information for the purposes of subscribing to such additional products or services, both we and our partner may share ownership of this personal information. In any case, we will require that the privacy policies of such partners provide substantially similar protections to those provided by Starship.
  • If Your access to our Services is provided by Your employer or a third party, Your employer or the third party may require us to provide information about Your access to the Services, for example to verify that You are using the Services they have purchased on Your behalf. In addition, we may be required to provide Your employer or third party with personally identifiable information in order to enforce compliance with the Starship Terms of Use.
  • To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by us about our Website or Application users is among the assets transferred.

We may also sell Your personal information to a third party. As explained further below, You have the right to opt out of the sale of Your personal information at any time by submitting a verifiable request to us.

In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have not sold any personal information.

22. Your Rights under the CCPA

The CCPA provides You with certain rights, described below, with respect to the collection, sale, retention, and disclosure of Your personal information.

The Right to Access Information:

You have the right to request that we provide You with certain information about the personal information we collect about You as well as the categories and specific pieces of information that we have collected about You in the 12 months preceding Your verifiable consumer request. Specifically, You have the right to request the following information:

  • The categories of personal information we have collected about You.
  • The categories of sources from which we have collected personal information about You.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling Your personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share Your personal information.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about You.
    • The categories of personal information that we collected about You;
    • The categories of personal information that we disclosed about You for a business purpose; and
    • The categories of third parties to whom Your personal information was disclosed for a business purpose, and which category of personal information was disclosed to that third party.
  • If we sold Your personal information:
    • The categories of personal information that we collected about You;
    • The categories of Your personal information that we have sold about You by referencing the category; and
    • The categories of third parties to whom we have sold the information, and which category of personal information was sold to that third party.

Once we receive and confirm Your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose the requested information to You.

When You request information, we will provide the information requested in a format that is readily useable and that will allow You to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance. If You request access to the categories and specific personal information that we have collected about You, we will provide Your personal information in a format that is portable, readily usable, and that will allow You to transmit the information to another entity without hindrance (Data Portability request).

This right does not require us to retain any personal information collected from You for a single, one-time transaction, if we do not sell or retain the personal information, or to reidentify or otherwise link information that is not maintained in a manner that would be considered personal information.

The Right to Deletion:

You have the right to request that we delete any personal information that we have collected from You. Once we receive and confirm Your verifiable consumer request, if we determine that we must comply with a deletion request and delete Your personal information from our records, we will also direct any service providers we work with to also delete Your personal information from their records.

However, we may deny Your deletion request if we or our service providers need Your personal information to:

  • Complete the transaction for which we collected Your personal information, provide a good or service You have requested or that is reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with You, or otherwise perform our contract with You.
  • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for that activity.
  • Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  • Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise his or her right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act pursuant to Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et seq.
  • Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the businesses’ deletion of the personal information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research, if the consumer has provided informed consent.
  • To enable solely internal uses that reasonably align with Your expectations based on Your relationship with us.
  • Comply with a legal obligation.
  • Otherwise use Your personal information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which You provided us with the information.

23. How to Exercise Your CCPA Rights

Making a Request:

To exercise Your Right to Access or Right to Deletion, or to make a Data Portability request, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

Only You (or a natural person or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that You authorize to act on Your behalf and that we can reasonably verify) may make a verifiable consumer request for Your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of Your minor child.

The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify You are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative. We will use any personal information collected from You in connection with our verification of Your request solely for purposes of verification.
  • Describe Your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to Your request or provide You with personal information if we cannot verify Your identity or Your authority to make the request on behalf of another person. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require You to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Please note that we will only respond to a verifiable consumer request for access or data for personal information twice (2) within a 12-month period.

When and How You Will Receive a Response:

Once we receive a consumer request, we will promptly take steps to determine whether the request is a verifiable consumer request, and disclose and deliver the requested personal information. Our goal is to respond to Your verifiable consumer request within 45 days of receiving it. However, in the event that we need more time (up to 90 days) to respond to Your request, we will inform You of the need for an extension in writing along with the reasons for the extension. If You have an account with us, we will deliver Your requested personal information to that account. If You do not have an account with us, You are not required to create an account with us to make a verifiable consumer request and we will deliver the requested personal information by mail or electronically, at Your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt.

When You request information, we will provide the information requested in a format that is readily useable and that will allow You to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance. If You request access to the categories and specific personal information that we have collected about You, we will provide Your personal information in a format that is portable, readily usable, and that will allow You to transmit the information to another entity without hindrance (Data Portability request).

If we are unable to comply with a given request, we will provide You with a response within 45 days (or if more time is needed, up to 90 days) explaining why we have not taken action on Your request and identifying any rights You may have to appeal the decision.

Cost to You:

We will not charge You to process or respond to Your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell You why we made that decision and provide You with a cost estimate before completing Your request.

24. Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against You for exercising any of Your CCPA rights. For example, unless otherwise permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • Deny You goods or services.
  • Charge You different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide You with a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • Suggest that You will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

25. Changes to Our California Privacy Statement

We are required by law to update this California Privacy Statement at least once each year. We will notify You by email or through a notice on our Website homepage when we make changes to this privacy notice.

We use the Starship Spending Account’s end of day balance to calculate the interest earned that day.

Transfer Terms

 

You are solely responsible for maintaining sufficient funds in your Linked Bank to cover all deposits and Round-ups deposits. Failure to do so may result in overdraft or other fees by the banking institution that maintains your Linked Bank. Such fees are not collected or imposed by Starship.

Reimbursement Terms

By accepting these terms, I understand that I can only submit reimbursements for IRS-qualified medical expenses made after opening my Starship Spending Account, and have full responsibility to maintain documentation that substantiates my payment requests for qualified expenses.

The total withdrawal limit from your Starship Spending Account is $5,000 daily and $25,000 monthly.

Reimbursements from your Starship Spending Account will be deposited to your linked bank within 1-5 business days.

I understand that Starship does not provide legal or tax advice, and that I must contact a competent legal or tax professional for personal advice.

One-time Contribution Terms

By accepting these terms, I authorize the deposit of the stated amount into my Starship Spending Account.

I understand the eligibility requirements of the type of HSA deposit I am making and state that I qualify to make these deposits. I assume complete responsibility for: (i) determining that I am eligible for an HSA each year I make a contribution, (ii) ensuring that all contributions I make are within the limits set forth by tax laws and (iii) the tax consequences, if any, of any contribution.

I understand that Starship does not provide legal or tax advice, and that I must contact a competent legal or tax professional for personal advice.

Contributions from your Linked Bank, which must be owned by you, will be deposited to your Starship Spending Account within 1-5 business days.

Recurring Contribution Terms

By accepting these terms, I authorize the deposit of the stated amount into my Starship Spending Account on the 1st of every month.

I understand the eligibility requirements of the type of HSA deposit I am making and state that I qualify to make these deposits. I assume complete responsibility for: (i) determining that I am eligible for an HSA each year I make a contribution, (ii) ensuring that all contributions I make are within the limits set forth by tax laws and (iii) the tax consequences, if any, of any contribution.

I understand that moving funds directly from an HSA or MSA to another HSA is considered a transfer. There is no limit on the number of these transfers. You do not need to include the amount transferred as a contribution, or include it as a distribution on IRS Form 8889, line 12a.

I understand that moving funds directly from an IRA to another HSA can only be made by individuals once in their lifetime. The amount transferred will count as a contribution. Additional information can be found at www.irs.gov.

If you have invested funds at your previous provider, they may automatically liquidate these funds to complete the transfer request. Your previous provider may also require you, the account holder, to manually liquidate investments before approving the transfer request. The transfer typically takes 2-8 weeks.

I understand that Starship does not provide legal or tax advice, and that I must contact a competent legal or tax professional for personal advice.

Round-ups Terms

Round-ups helps you grow your health savings dollars by automatically collecting and saving your spare change. Everyday purchases made with your linked bank are rounded-up to the nearest dollar. For example, if you spend $4.25, a $0.75 deposit is collected. If you spend $6.00, a $1.00 deposit is collected. Spare change is set aside until it hits a $5 threshold and is transferred from your linked bank to your Starship Spending Account. Starship will only pull funds from your linked bank account if your total balance prior to the withdrawal is at least four times (4x) the balance that Starship intends to pull from your linked bank account.

By accepting these terms, I authorize Starship to collect spare change from my linked bank into my Starship Spending Account.

If you’d like to cancel or pause Round-ups, simply tap “Pause” in the Round-ups section of the app.

I understand that Starship does not provide legal or tax advice, and that I must contact a competent legal or tax professional for personal advice.

IN CASES OF ERRORS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR ELECTRONIC TRANSFER: Telephone us at (866) 340-4467 or write us at support@starshiphsa.com, or write us at 1201 Broadway, Suite 909, New York, NY 10001 as soon as you can if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we have sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared. Our business days are Monday – Friday, holidays not included.

  1. List your name and account number.
  2. Describe the error of the transfer you are unsure about, and explain clearly why you believe this is an error or why you need more information.
  3. List the dollar amount of the suspected error.

If you tell us orally, you may be required to send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.

It will be determined whether an error occurred within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) after hearing from you and will correct any error promptly.

For consumer accounts used primarily for personal, family or household purposes, your complaint will be investigated, and any error promptly corrected. The results of the investigation will be available within 10 business days after hearing from you. If more time is needed, however, it may take up to 45 days (90 days if the transfer involved a new account, a point-of-sale transaction, or a foreign initiated transfer) to investigate your complaint or question. If it is decided to do this, your account will be recredited within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have use of the money during the time it takes us to complete the investigation. If asked to put your complaint or questions in writing and it is not received within 10 business days, your account may not be recredited. Your account is considered a new account for the first 30 days after the first deposit is made, unless you already have an account with us before this account is opened.

If it is decided that there was no error, you will receive a written explanation within 3 business days after the investigation is finished. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

If a notice of error involves an electronic funds transfer that was initiated outside the U.S. or involves an electronic funds transfer resulting from a point-of-sale debit card transaction, it may take 20 business days after hearing from you to recredit your account. If more time is needed however, it may take 90 calendar days to complete the investigation of your complaint or question.
