Bird Wallet Terms and Conditions

Effective: September 30, 2022

This Bird Wallet Agreement ("Agreement") is between you and Bird Treasury Services, LLC (“Bird Treasury,” “we” or “us”).

This Agreement applies to a virtual wallet (“Wallet”) that you create with Bird Treasury and associate with your account at Bird Rides, Inc. (including any subsidiaries or affiliates of Bird Rides, Inc., other than Bird Treasury, collectively, “Bird Rides”) to the extent you use U.S. dollars to preload your Wallet balance.  By creating or preloading your Wallet with a U.S. dollar value, or using such amount or any discretionary or “bonus” U.S. dollar value provided to you (collectively, your “Wallet Balance”), you accept and agree to these terms and conditions.  Bird Treasury, which is an affiliate of Bird Rides, is the issuer of your Wallet and is solely liable to you with respect to your Wallet Balance. You expressly acknowledge and agree that Bird Rides has no responsibility for, or liability with respect to, your Wallet or Wallet Balance.

This Agreement includes an arbitration provision that governs any disputes between you and us. This provision will eliminate your right to a trial by jury, and substantially affects your rights, including preventing you from bringing, joining or participating in class or consolidated proceedings.

You agree that we may provide notices, disclosures and amendments to this Agreement, and other information relating to your Wallet or Wallet Balance by electronic means, including posting such materials online at www.birdtreasury.co.

1. Your Wallet and Wallet Balance

Your Wallet is a virtual wallet that you establish with Bird Treasury to hold Wallet Balances denominated in U.S. dollars that can be redeemed for micromobility rental services provided by Bird Rides through its mobile application (“Bird App”) in locations in the United States where Bird Rides offers such services (“Bird Rides Services”).

Your Wallet Balance consists of (1) preloaded amounts denominated in U.S. dollars which constitute prepayments for Bird Rides Services, including by Auto-Update as described below, and (2) where applicable, any discretionary or “bonus” balance denominated in U.S. dollars that is provided to you to facilitate complementary access to Bird Rides Services.  We administer the Wallet program to make it easier for you to use the Bird Rides Services.

To create and preload amounts to your Wallet, you must first create an account with Bird Rides, which will give you access to Bird Rides Services. Your Bird Rides account is governed by Bird Rides’ Terms of Service.  In your Bird Rides account, you will see an option in the settings/preferences section to create a Wallet and preload (or reload) amounts to your Wallet.

We have also contracted with Bird Rides to make available an option for you to automatically reload your Wallet Balance on a recurring basis (“Auto-Update”).  By enabling Auto-Update, you opt to automatically reload your Wallet Balance each time your Wallet Balance reaches zero or falls below another specified amount.  To use Auto-Update, you must select (or confirm): (a) the amount at which you wish to automatically reload your Wallet Balance, and/or (b) the amount you wish to reload/add (such amount, “Auto-Update Amount”).  You may cancel or disable Auto Update in the settings/preferences of your account.  In the event (a) you cancel or disable Auto-Update of your Wallet Balance, or (b) one of your automatic payments is declined, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, expiry of your credit card or other payment method, the Auto-Update Amount will not be added to your Wallet Balance. In such scenarios, you may be required to separately preload your Wallet Balance.

2. Use of Your Wallet Balance

Your Wallet Balance may be used to purchase Bird Rides Services through your Bird Rides account on the Bird App.  Redemption of your Wallet Balance for Bird Rides Services is subject to the Bird Rides’ Terms of Use as well as its Rental Agreement. Please note that Bird Rides may change the pricing or the type of the Bird Rides Services at any time.  However, your Wallet Balance may be used at any time to purchase Bird Rides Services at the current prices.  Your Wallet Balance thus functions exactly like a reloadable gift card.

3. Bonus Balance

Bird Treasury may, under certain circumstances and from time to time, offer or otherwise make available a discretionary or “bonus” amount in your Wallet (“Bonus Balance”).  For example, Bird Treasury may offer a Bonus Balance if you use Auto-Update.

If you have any Bonus Balance in your Wallet, any redemption of your Wallet Balance for Bird Rides Services will first use up your Bonus Balance.  Once your Bonus Balance has been reduced to zero, any further redemptions will be from your regular (purchased) Wallet Balance. 

As described below, your Bonus Balance is never refundable or redeemable for cash, and may expire.

4. Refund of Your Wallet Balance

Your Wallet Balance is generally non-refundable.  However, you may request a refund of an amount preloaded (or reloaded) to your Wallet within 60 days after the date such amount was loaded.  To request a refund within this period, please contact info@birdtreasury.co.  After the expiration of this 60 day-period, no portion of the amount so preloaded (or reloaded), including by Auto Update, is refundable or redeemable for cash except where required by applicable law.  All such amounts may still be redeemed for Bird Rides Services.

Any Bonus Balance is never refundable or redeemable for cash.

5. Expiration of Your Wallet Balance

Your Wallet Balance (other than any Bonus Balance) does not expire and may be redeemed for Bird Rides Services in accordance with the Bird Rides’ Terms of Use as well as its Rental Agreement.

Any Bonus Balance may expire as determined by Bird Treasury and as communicated to you at the time the Bonus Balance is added to your Wallet.

6. Forfeiture of Your Wallet Balance

If you delete your account with Bird Rides, your Wallet Balance (including any Bonus Balance) will be permanently forfeited.

7. Balance Errors and Corrections

We will correct the balance of your Wallet if we believe that a clerical, billing or accounting error has occurred.  If you have questions regarding your transaction history or any correction, or if you wish to dispute any transaction or correction that has been applied to your Wallet, please contact info@birdtreasury.co.

Assuming you provide sufficient information, we will review your claim and tell you what we find.  We will correct any error promptly after we finish our review.  If we do not find any error, we will explain what we found.  We have no obligation to review or correct any billing error unless you provide us sufficient notice for us to review your claim within 60 days after the date of the transaction in question.

8. Unauthorized Use of Your Wallet

Your Wallet and Wallet Balance are not transferable in whole or in part to any other person or entity. You are responsible for the security and confidentiality of your Wallet, and for any and all activities that occur in connection with your Wallet. Neither Bird Treasury nor any of its affiliates is responsible for unauthorized use of your Wallet.  Bird Treasury reserves the right to suspend or void any portion of your Wallet Balance if it reasonably believes that the preloading (or reloading) of any amounts to, or use of, your Wallet is unauthorized, fraudulent, unlawful, or otherwise in violation of this Agreement.

9. Wallet Communications

You authorize us to communicate with you through emails or SMS in connection with your Wallet, including in connection with Wallet Balance inquiries, refund requests, and questions regarding your transaction history.

10. Anti-Money Laundering Laws

To comply with applicable anti-money laundering laws, Bird Treasury may from time to time request information from you to confirm your identity before amounts are credited to, or redemptions are made from, your Wallet. Access to your Wallet may be denied until you provide the requested information and we are able to confirm your identity.

12. Disclaimers and Limits of Liability

Bird Treasury and its affiliates make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, with respect to your Wallet or Wallet Balance, including, but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title or non-infringement, or any warranty arising by usage of trade, course of dealing or course of performance. Bird Treasury does not represent or warrant that your Wallet or Wallet Balance will always be accessible or accepted.

In the event that Bird Treasury or its affiliates are found liable to you, you shall only be entitled to recover actual and direct damages and such damages shall not exceed the last balance held in your Wallet.
