WHILE THE VOLATILITY OF DIGITAL ASSETS IS HIGH AND VARIES SIGNIFICANTLY, CHANGES AND ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY, FRAUD, THEFT AND CYBER-ATTACKS AND REGULATORY CHANGES, AMONG OTHERS, MAY INCREASE VOLATILITY FURTHER. IN ADDITION, DIGITAL ASSETS LACK THE HISTORICAL TRACK RECORD OF CURRENCIES OR COMMODITIES SUCH AS GOLD THAT COULD GUIDE IF CURRENT LEVELS OF VOLATILITY ARE TYPICAL OR ATYPICAL.
YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR, LEGAL OR TAX PROFESSIONAL REGARDING YOUR SPECIFIC SITUATION AND FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER TRADING OR HOLDING DIGITAL ASSETS IS SUITABLE FOR YOU.
- Card Linking; Rewards.
- Registration. In order to earn Rewards, including Cryptocurrency through a Supported Payment Card, you must register that Supported Payment Card through the Heaps Site. If your Registered Payment Card is a debit card, your transaction must be processed as a “credit” (i.e., non-PIN) transaction to make sure the transaction can be monitored. Do not use a Personal Identification Number (PIN) when paying for your purchases with your Registered Payment Card if you want the transaction to be eligible for Rewards.
- Rewards Earned through Heaps Site. Certain Rewards may be earned by making a purchase using (and within the same shopping session as) an offer link on the Heaps Site (“Qualifying Heaps Purchase”). You must be logged into the Heaps Site and have cookies enabled for Qualifying Heaps Purchases to earn such Rewards. Purchases may not qualify for a Reward if a separate coupon code or promotion is used. We cannot guarantee that the Rewards will be earned if you complete a purchase after being redirected to a mobile, tablet, or app-optimized website, and such purchases shall not constitute or qualify as a Qualifying Heaps Purchase. Offers made through the Heaps Site may be changed or rescinded at any time, but such changes will not affect Rewards earned with respect to Qualifying Heaps Purchases prior to such change(s). You acknowledge that errors in the offer terms or conditions obtained through use of the Heaps Site may occur from time to time, whether caused by a merchant or otherwise. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct any such error, and you agree not to bring any action against Heaps, its service providers or the merchant based on or related to such errors.
- Transaction Monitoring. By registering a Supported Payment Card, you authorize Heaps and its Service Providers to share your Registered Payment Card information with relevant Payment Card Networks. In addition, you authorize the relevant Payment Card Network to: (a) monitor transactions on your Registered Payment Card(s); (b) identify qualifying purchases using your Registered Payment Card(s), and (c) share such transaction details with Heaps and its Service Providers to enable earned Reward(s). You may opt-out of transaction monitoring with respect to a Registered Payment Card by removing such Payment Card from your Wallet. A removal request will generally be processed within 3 business days, and your opt-out will be deemed effective upon completion of the removal request.
- Transaction Eligibility. Not all transactions with your Registered Payment Card will be tracked by your Payment Network. Transactions that may not be tracked, include PIN-based purchases, purchases you initiate through identification technology that substitutes for a PIN, payments made through other payment methods (such as a digital wallet or a third-party payment app, where your Registered Payment Card is not presented directly to the merchant), payments of existing balances, balance transfers, or transactions that are not processed or submitted through the payment systems operated by the Payment Card Networks are not eligible.
- Additional Restrictions. Please note that certain Services are provided by Figg, Inc. Your Payment Card may only be enrolled in one program operated by Figg, Inc. If you have already enrolled a Payment Card with a separate program operated by Figg, Inc., and you enroll the same Payment Card with Heaps, your Registered Payment Card will be automatically disenrolled from the other Figg, Inc. program.
- Rewards. Earned Rewards will not appear or be reflected on your transaction receipt from the merchant at the time of purchase, and will instead be reflected in your Account after the qualifying transaction has been verified by us. When Heaps is notified of a qualifying transaction, you may see the Earned Reward appear in your Account as “Processing”. While some Rewards may appear sooner, Rewards will generally appear as “Processing” within 5 days from the date of the qualified transaction, but some can take 15 days or more. Once Heaps has received payment from the Merchant, a process that typically takes between 30 and 90 days, the status of the Earned Reward will be updated to a “Pending” status. With respect to “Crypto-Back” Rewards, when the “Pending” Crypto-Back Amount reaches $10.00, a Digital Asset Transaction (as defined in Section 5.2 below) will be initiated and your pre-selected Cryptocurrency (or, if you did not select a preferred Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin) will be purchased through your Account. All Rewards are subject to the express terms and conditions of the Reward offer, but expressly exclude amounts attributed to any returns, cancellations, reversals, shipping, credits, taxes, and any special handling fees. We may deduct Rewards from your Account to make adjustments for returns and cancellations with respect to Qualifying Heaps Purchases or purchases made using a Supported Payment Card. We also reserve the right to withhold Rewards or reverse any Rewards previously awarded in the event a merchant fails to pay us for any reason. For Crypto-Back Rewards, A Heaps fee will be charged at the time of the Digital Asset Transaction. You may learn more about these fees on our Fee Disclosure Page1.

- Digital Assets Not Segregated. Prime Trust, as the custodian for all Digital Assets may use shared blockchain addresses, controlled by Prime Trust, to hold Digital Assets on behalf of you. Although Prime Trust maintains separate ledgers for Accounts, neither Prime Trust nor Heaps shall have no obligation to segregate by blockchain address Digital Assets owned by you from Digital Assets owned by other customers.
- Other User Assets. Your Wallet also allows you to hold and transfer U.S. Dollars. We are not a bank and do not hold deposits. All U.S. Dollars held in your Wallet are custodial assets held by Prime Trust for your benefit, as described in further detail below
- Ownership. Title to U.S. Dollars held in your Wallet shall at all times remain with you and shall not transfer to Prime Trust or to us. Except as required by law, or except as provided in these Terms or the Prime Trust Agreement (as defined below), we will not sell, transfer, loan, or otherwise dispose of U.S. Dollars in your Wallet unless instructed by you.

- Unclaimed Property.

- Digital Asset Custody and Title. All Digital Assets held in your Digital Asset Wallet are custodial assets held by Prime Trust, LLC, a Nevada chartered trust company (such trust company and its successors “Prime Trust”) for your benefit, as described in further detail below:
- Transactions.
- US. Dollar Transfers.
- One-Time ACH Transfers. You can load U.S. Dollar denominated funds into your Wallet from a valid bank account via ACH transfer or wire transfer. Your U.S. Dollar balance may be in a “pending” state and may not be credited to your Wallet until after the bank transfer has cleared, which may take several days. We may debit your linked bank account as soon as you initiate payment. The name on your linked bank account and your wire transfer must match the name verified on your Account.
- Payroll Direct Deposit. If you are eligible for our Crypto Payroll direct deposit feature (“Direct Deposit”) and we have verified your required identifying information, you may arrange to have all or part of your paycheck transferred into your Wallet by your employer. You may select whether you want such funds to be transferred into your Wallet as U.S. Dollars or a Digital Asset available for Direct Deposit. Not all Digital Assets may be available for Direct Deposit. You can enroll by providing your employer or payroll provider with the account and routing numbers you received from Prime Trust. Upon enrollment with your employer and/or payroll provider, you must select the amount of your paycheck you would like deposited to your Wallet. Within Heaps, you will select the Digital Asset you would like the amount deposited or converted to. We do not charge any fees to set up or maintain Direct Deposit, but we do charge fees for any Digital Asset Transactions involved in converting the amount of your Direct Deposit into a Digital Asset. See Section 6 of these Terms. You are also responsible for any fees associated with subsequent conversion or transfer of Digital Assets. Heaps does not make any representations about your employment status by enrollment in Direct Deposit. Funds added to your account via Direct Deposit are transferred to and held by Prime Trust. The availability of your Direct Deposit funds is subject to the timing of your payer’s funding processes. Funds transferred via Direct Deposit will typically be available 3-5 business days (excluding Federal holidays) from the day your payer initiated the deposit. Because we do not receive funds via Direct Deposit instantly, there will be some delay between the payment being initiated by the payer and the payment arriving in your Wallet. There may also be a delay depending on the third party payroll provider. If you elect to receive your Direct Deposit funds in the form of a Digital Asset, then upon confirmation from Prime Trust that your funds have arrived, we will exchange your funds from U.S. Dollar to your selected Digital Asset at the exchange rate at the time of such conversion. The Digital Asset will be reflected in your Account. You understand that your acquired Digital Assets are exposed to exchange rate risk such that your Digital Asset holdings may either appreciate or depreciate in value relative to U.S. Dollars.
- Cancellation or Termination of Direct Deposit. If you wish to cancel Direct Deposits, you will need to update your deposit allocation with your employer and/or payroll provider. We reserve the right to terminate your access to Direct Deposit for any reason.
- Digital Asset Transactions. When you buy or sell Digital Assets on the Heaps Site, you are not buying Digital Assets from or selling Digital Assets to Heaps or Prime Trust. Prime Trust is acting as the agent, transacting on your behalf, to facilitate that purchase or sale with third-parties. You can purchase Digital Assets using the methods and following the relevant instructions on the Heaps Site. We reserve the right to cancel any transaction not confirmed by you within five (5) seconds after we quote a transaction price. You can sell Digital Assets and instruct us to deposit funds into your Wallet. Digital Asset purchases and sales are collectively referred to herein as “Digital Asset Transactions”. If we cannot complete your Digital Asset Transaction for any reason (such as price movement, market latency, inability to find a counterparty for your transaction, or order size), we will reject the order and notify you of such rejection. You will not be charged for a rejected transaction. Digital Asset Transaction placed during bank business hours on the Heaps Site will generally initiate on the business day we receive your instructions. Purchased Digital Assets will usually be deposited in your Wallet instantly. You will be able to sell or send Digital Assets within the Heaps Site as soon as a Digital Asset arrives in your wallet, but you may not withdraw a Digital Asset or funds obtained from a sale from Heaps until at least ten (10) days have passed from the date funds used to purchase such Digital Asset were loaded to your Wallet.

When you initiate a Digital Asset Transaction or initiate the transfer of U.S. Dollars using the Heaps Site, you cannot change, cancel or reverse your authorization for us to complete that transaction.

You acknowledge that any such determination by us will be final and binding and that we shall have no obligation or liability to you with respect to Rewards earned but not posted to your Account after the expiration of the Reward Notification Period.
