Terms of Service

Last Updated: June 14, 2026

Plain English Summary: By using Hold-It™ you agree to these Terms. You must be 18+ and a U.S. resident. Hold-It is software — not a bank. Your funds are held by an FDIC-insured banking partner, not us. We own the platform. You own your data. Disputes go to arbitration in Delaware. Founding Circle members have specific lifetime access terms outlined in Section 12.

01

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Hold-It™ platform, website located at holditexodus.com, mobile application, or any related services (collectively the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms you may not access or use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Hold-It Financial Inc, a Delaware corporation ("Hold-It," "we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account or using the Service you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age, a United States resident, and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.

02

Description of Service

Hold-It™ is a financial technology platform that provides behavioral savings mechanics and goal-based vault locking to help users save for travel, purchases, and personal goals. Hold-It is not a bank, credit union, or licensed financial institution.

Hold-It does not accept deposits, hold funds, issue credit, or provide banking services of any kind. User funds are held in FDIC-insured For Benefit Of ("FBO") accounts through our Banking-as-a-Service ("BaaS") partner. Hold-It is the software layer that controls behavioral access rules on those funds.

Hold-It is not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or fiduciary. Nothing in the Service constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. You should consult a qualified financial professional before making any financial decisions.

The Service is currently in pre-launch development. Features, functionality, and availability are subject to change without notice.

03

  • Be at least 18 years of age

  • Have a valid United States bank account or debit card for vault funding purposes

  • Not be prohibited from receiving services under applicable United States laws including but not limited to appearing on the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") Specially Designated Nationals list

Hold-It reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, or remove content at our sole discretion.
