This provision allocates risk disclosure obligations to the user and establishes Robinhood's unilateral authority to modify trading permissions based on its assessment of account suitability. The clause establishes the baseline risk acknowledgment required for options trading access and provides the firm operational discretion over account permissions.
The updated terms establish new fiduciary verification and personal liability provisions for trust and custodial accounts. Trustees are now required to complete Robinhood's identity verification and onboarding before accessing trust accounts, notify Robinhood promptly of any material changes to the trust (amendments, revocation, trustee changes), and provide the correct taxpayer identification number for the trust. The revised language states that trustees are personally liable for obligations, debts, or negative equity arising from instructions given outside the scope of their authority under the trust instrument or applicable law. Robinhood reserves the right to freeze trust accounts or request updated documentation at any time, and will rely on instructions from any onboarded trustee without requiring consent from co-trustees or verifying compliance with the trust instrument. You should consult a tax advisor regarding the appropriate taxpayer identification number for your trust and review your fiduciary authority under the applicable trust instrument before executing trades.
