Mostt Investment Advisors Terms of Service for Invest Account Service

Last Updated: August 12, 2024

Your use of the Invest Account Services (as defined below), including your use of the segregated Invest module (the “Invest App”) of the Mostt Inc (“Mostt”) application for mobile phone, tablet or other portable devices (the “Mostt App”) and the Invest Account-related portions (the “Invest Web Pages”) of the Mostt website located at www.mostt.co (the “Website”), including, without limitation, the agreements and disclosures appearing in the Disclosure Library (as defined below), are subject to your compliance with these Mostt Investment Advisors Terms of Service for Invest Account Services (the “Terms of Service”). These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement between Mostt Inc (“Mostt,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) and you, the Primary Accountholder ( as defined below), and describes the terms under which you agree to use the Invest App, the Invest Web Pages, the Disclosure Library and the Invest Account Services, regardless of how accessed, including by computer, mobile phone, tablet or any other device. “Invest Account Services” means the investment advisory services provided by Mostt Inc as a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registered investment adviser and the brokerage services provided by Alpaca Securities LLC (“Alpaca”), a broker- dealer registered with FINRA and the SEC. An “Invest Account” is a Primary Accountholder’s brokerage account established with Alpaca, with the assistance of Mostt Inc, to hold securities and cash from the sale of or for the purchase of securities in the name of the child (“Secondary Accountholder”). If the Primary Accountholder establishes an investing portfolio for more than one child, then the Primary Accountholder will need to establish multiple Invest Accounts with Alpaca – one for each child to be able to track those investment portfolios separately.  Secondary Accountholder may have limited access to the app features. In addition, the Primary Accountholder may have a separate Investment Account for their own investing purposes under the “Investing for Yourself” feature which is further described below. Mostt Inc does not hold any consumer funds; any funds that you may add/transfer to your Invest Account are solely held by Alpaca.

Invest Account Overview

The Invest Account Services can be accessed through the Mostt App. Investment services are provided by Mostt Inc, an SEC registered investment adviser, as further described in the Mostt Investment Advisors Discretionary Asset Management Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”).

To participate in the Invest Account Services, you must have a user account in “Good Standing,” which means that (i) your Primary Account has completed the account registration and verification process, (ii) your Primary Account has a positive balance and (iii) your Primary Account is current with respect to the payment of the monthly subscription fee for the Mostt Platform. You must also agree to a variety of separate agreements and disclosures which are housed in the Mostt “Document Center” link appearing in the footer of the Mostt Website or in the settings page of the Mostt App (the “Document Center”). These documents include, without limitation, the Advisory Agreement, these Terms of Service, Form ADV Part 2, the Customer Relationship Summary, the Alpaca Disclosures and Disclaimers, the Alpaca Terms of Use, the Alpaca Customer Account Agreement, the Alpaca Cash Management Program Disclosure Statement, the Alpaca Privacy Policy. Participation in the Invest Account Services is subject to approval by Mostt Inc and Alpaca Securities LLC, and the required Invest Account Services agreements and disclosures are subject to change at any time. Any revisions to existing disclosures and agreements or new disclosures and agreements will be posted in the Document Center available on the Website and in the Mostt App.

If you are eligible to participate in the Invest Account Services, you may move funds from your primary Bank Account to your Invest Account held at Alpaca and back from your Invest Account to your Bank Account. Funds transferred from your Bank Account to your Invest Account will be available within three business days although in many cases transfers may be available much sooner. Funds transferred from your Invest Account to your Bank Account will also be available within three business days although in many cases transfers may be available much sooner.

When you instruct Mostt Inc to fund your Invest Account at Alpaca through the Invest App, you are authorizing us to transfer the specified amount of funds from your Bank Account to your Invest Account. When you set up recurring investments through the Invest App, you also authorize us to transfer the corresponding amount of funds from your Bank Account to your Invest Account. If you register for any new funding account(s) in the future through the Mostt App that you wish to connect to your Invest Account, you authorize us to transfer funds from those accounts to your Invest Account, and vice versa, in the manner previously described. When you instruct Mostt to sell securities on your behalf through the Invest App, you are also authorizing Mostt to direct Alpaca to sell the applicable securities, and, if you decide not to reinvest the proceeds from the sale of securities in new securities nor retain the funds in the Alpaca Invest Account pending other securities acquisitions, and instead choose to withdraw them, you are authorizing Mostt and Alpaca to transfer the proceeds from such sale from your Invest Account at Alpaca to your primary Bank Account linked to your Mostt App.

The Invest Account Services are marketed by Mostt with different features depending on your selected plan under the following names: (i) Investing for Kids; (ii) Investing for Yourself, and (iii) Investing for Your Future Child. 

“Investing for Kids” is an investment account which provides parents a managed portfolio of ETFs with five investment options based on Primary Account Holder financial profile, risk tolerance and child’s age. The Primary Accountholder (and not the Secondary Accountholder or child) will be the owner of the brokerage account established with Alpaca for buying and selling ETFs.

Under the “Investing for Yourself” feature, each Primary Accountholder will be permitted to set up an Invest Account in the Primary Accountholder’s own name and will be able to access all of the features described in connection with the “Investing for Kids” feature above.  This Invest Account established for the Primary Accountholder will be in addition to any Invest Account(s) that have been established for tracking purposes for a Secondary Accountholder; provided, however, that the Primary Accountholder will, in all cases, be the record owner of all Invest Accounts that are established for a Primary Account Holder or any related child, together with all ETFs purchased for such Invest Account.  

Under the “Investing for Your Future Child” feature, each Primary Accountholder will be permitted to set up an Invest Account in the Primary Accountholder’s own name and will be able to access all of the features described in connection with the “Investing for Kids” feature above until the child is born. At the time the child is born, “Investing for Your Future Child” will be converted into an  “Investing for Kids” account in the name of the child.

If your Member Account is closed, your Invest Account will also be closed in accordance with the Advisory Agreement and these Terms of Service. In addition, your investments will be sold by Alpaca and any proceeds, less applicable expenses and any unpaid fees, will be distributed to the Primary Accountholder.

Representations and Warranties by Primary Accountholder 

By using the Invest Account Services, the Primary Accountholder represents that (i) each of the Primary Accountholder is a natural person; (ii) the Primary Accountholder is at least 18 years of age (or older if you reside in a state where the age of majority is older); and (iii) access to or use of the Invest Account Services by the Primary Accountholder does not violate applicable laws. For further clarity, the Primary Accountholder (and not the child will be the owner of each Invest Account established with Alpaca even though the Invest App will track investment portfolios separately for each Primary Accountholder and/or Secondary Accountholder.

By signing up for a Primary Account, you, the Primary Accountholder, represent and warrant that you have provided us (or Mostt) with your valid Social Security Number (or last 4 digits in some cases) and that any other identifying information that may be submitted by you in order to verify your identity as well as all billing information submitted by you is also true, correct, and complete. In addition, you, the Primary Accountholder, authorize your wireless operator to disclose your mobile number and other subscriber details, if available, to Mostt Inc, and our service providers during the term of these Terms of Service, solely for identity verification and fraud avoidance purposes. Refer to the Privacy Statement for information about how we use your data.

Authorization to Transfer from Invest Account

Funds may be added to your Primary Account, called “contribution”, at any time, subject to any restrictions in the Mostt Terms of Service. The initial contribution, as well as each additional contribution, is referred to in the Mostt Terms of Service as a “contribution.” In addition to the contribution methods set forth in those documents, your Primary Account may be funded via a transfer from your Invest Account held at Alpaca.

The Primary Accountholder may load funds to your Primary Account by authorizing Mostt, through the Invest App, to direct the transfer of funds from your Invest Account to your linked bank account. Such authorization shall be provided by the Primary Accountholder, to Mostt via the Invest App.

In no event shall Mostt be held liable for accurately processing any transfer from your Invest Account to your bank account pursuant to a request and authorization received from the Primary Accountholder or any other third party accessing the Invest App with the Primary Accountholder’s log-in access credentials.
