Unilateral Position Liquidation Without Prior Notice

Why it matters

This provision means Robinhood can sell your investments at any time and at whatever price is available in the market, potentially locking in losses during market downturns, without giving you the opportunity to respond.

Consumer impact

This agreement significantly limits your legal recourse by requiring all disputes with Robinhood to be resolved through FINRA arbitration and waiving your right to participate in class action lawsuits. Robinhood retains the right to liquidate your investment positions without prior notice if margin requirements are not met, which can result in sudden and potentially significant financial losses. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending written notice to Robinhood within 30 days of account opening, as specified in the agreement.
