Mobile Application Terms of Use

Last Updated: March 2012

PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING GREEN DOT MOBILE APPLICATION TERMS OF USE (“TERMS OF USE”) BEFORE ACTIVATING OR OTHERWISE USING THE GREEN DOT MOBILE APPLICATION AND ITS RELATED SERVICES (COLLECTIVELY, THE "MOBILE APP"). BY CLICKING ON THE BUTTON BELOW, PROCEEDING WITH THE MOBILE APP ACTIVATION OR OTHERWISE USING THE MOBILE APP, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE AND REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY, AND CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO THESE TERMS OF USE.

The following Terms of Use apply to the Mobile App, operated by Green Dot Corporation ("Green Dot", "we", "us" or "our"), and do not modify the terms of the Cardholder Agreement for your Green Dot prepaid card ("Card"). By accessing or using the Mobile App on your mobile device or other equipment (“Device”), you acknowledge that you are 18 years of age or older and you have read and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use in their entirety, along with any modifications to these Terms of Use, which are incorporated by reference into these Terms of Use, any additional terms applicable to certain content and features, and all applicable laws, rules and regulations governing your use of the Mobile App. We may add to, delete or change these Terms of Use without notice to you and to the fullest extent under applicable law, your continued use of the Mobile App constitutes your agreement to all such changes. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features or services that augment or enhance the Mobile App in the future shall be considered part of the Mobile App and subject to these Terms of Use.

FEATURES OF THE MOBILE APP

Card Account Information; “Add Money” Feature.

You are required to create login credentials online at the Green Dot website prior to using the Mobile App. The login credentials you establish online at the Green Dot website are used to login to the Mobile App.

The Mobile App allows you to view information about your Card account, such as Card balance and transaction history. The Mobile App also allows you to add money to your Card using a MoneyPak. See “ATM and Reload Locations” below to find out how you can find a MoneyPak retailer near you.

The Card balance shown by the Mobile App may differ from your records because it may not include transactions in process, outstanding authorizations, or other items. If you think there is an error in your Card account information, you must telephone or write to us as soon as possible. For instructions about what to do and how to contact us in case of errors or questions on your Card transactions, please refer to your Cardholder Agreement (also available on the Green Dot website). It is important that you access your Card information from time to time to ensure that no unauthorized transactions have occurred in your Card account. For additional transaction history information, you should access your Card account information online at the Green Dot Card website.

ATM and Reload Locations.

The locator features of the Mobile App allow you to find ATMs and reload locations where you can purchase a MoneyPak to reload your Card. These features are dependent on your wireless service and coverage within the area in which you are located at the time you access the Mobile App. The locator features may not be available in all areas. Actual distance between your present location and nearest ATM and/or reload location provided by the locator features will vary depending on the area in which you are located (i.e., more locations will be provided if you are located in or near a city versus a rural location).

Fees.

Green Dot does not charge for use of the Mobile App available as of the date you agree to these Terms of Use. However, if the Mobile App utilizes text messages, standard data and text rates may apply for each text message sent from and received by your Device, as determined by your wireless subscriber agreement with your wireless provider. You are solely responsible for all data usage and other charges by your wireless provider that accrue from your access to and use of the Mobile App.

PRIVACY.

  1. You are required to use the login credentials established during activation to use the Mobile App. Login credentials are not stored on the Device. Also, Device information (including UDID and your mobile number) may be collected and utilized during installation and use of the Mobile App.
  2. Use and Sharing: Green Dot reserves the right to use login credentials (and location information if you choose to use a Mobile App location-based service): (i) for the specific purpose for which such information was provided; (ii) as disclosed at the time such information is provided; and/or (iii) as disclosed in this Privacy section. Finally, Green Dot may disclose login credentials (and location information if you choose to use a Mobile App location-based service) in order to: (i) comply with applicable laws; (ii) respond to governmental inquiries; (iii) comply with valid legal process; and (iv) protect our rights or property, the Mobile App and/or other users of this Mobile App.
  3. Third Party Agents: We may employ third parties to perform services on our behalf, such as administering the Mobile App. Such third parties will have access to login credentials (and your location information if you choose to use a Mobile App location-based service) only to the extent necessary to perform their services, but will not be permitted to use it for any other purpose.
  4. Security: Protecting the security of your information is very important to us. When you transmit login credentials from your Device to our servers, your information is protected by both a “firewall” (a combination of computer hardware and software that helps keep unauthorized visitors from accessing information within our computer network) and industry standard SSL (secure socket layer) encryption. Once we receive your transmission, we will take reasonable precautions to ensure its security on our third party agent’s systems. Unfortunately, no data transmission via a mobile device can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your information and privacy, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us via your Device and vice versa and we cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of your information. By using the Mobile App, you acknowledge this risk when using the Mobile App.
  5. Transfer in Certain Circumstances: In our sole discretion, we may transfer, sell or assign information collected on and through the Mobile App, to one or more third parties, as a result of our sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of substantial assets, reorganization or liquidation.
  6. Location-Based Services: For Mobile App location-based services (such as the ATM Locator), Green Dot will only use your location if you choose to use the service. Please be aware that if you regularly authorize others to use your Device with the installed Mobile App, any choices you make with respect to Mobile App location-based services will apply to all users of the Device. We collect location-based information in order to provide the specific Mobile App location-based service you request. Except as set forth in these Terms of Use, including, without limitation, as noted in #3 above regarding third party agents, your location will not be shared with third parties without your specific consent.
  7. Privacy Policy(ies): This Privacy section is in addition to and modifies the Privacy Policy(ies) provided to you with your Card. Your use of the Mobile App is also subject to such Privacy Policy(ies) (available on the Green Dot website).
