Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Parents who open Sponsored Accounts for their children are agreeing to these Terms on their child's behalf, including the arbitration clause and the data collection practices described in the Privacy Notice.

View original clause language
This section applies to any Restricted Account or Prepaid Account (each as defined in Section III), including any Sponsored Account (each as defined in Section III) that is a Prepaid Account.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Sponsored Accounts for minors implicate COPPA (15 U.S.C. §6501 et seq.) if any personal information is collected from children under 13, requiring verifiable parental consent and strict data minimization obligations enforced by the FTC. The CFPB Prepaid Account Rule (12 CFR Part 1005 Subpart E) applies to the prepaid account features. EFTA and Regulation E's error resolution and liability provisions apply to EFT disputes on minor accounts. State laws governing contracts with minors may affect the enforceability of the arbitration clause and class action waiver against claims arising from a minor's account — minors generally retain the right to disaffirm contracts under state common law.
