2. Services. What is the Service and how does it work?

Under these Terms, the Services means the features, functionality, content and information provided by us via the App and include any services that may be provided by Service Providers and Third Parties.

Mydoh is a money management app to help Primary users enable Authorized Users to learn money values and skills through features such as:

  • Earning: allows Authorized Users to accumulate funds through transfers made to their account (i.e., one-time or recurring transfers)
  • Learning: allows Authorized Users to learn money management basics through financial literacy related content;
  • Spending: allows Authorized Users to make point of sale (POS) purchases, using the balance available on their Card;
  • Saving: allows Authorized Users to manage Savings Goals and track their progress. When funds are allocated to Savings Goals, the corresponding balance is protected and unavailable for immediate spending. Authorized Users may at all times transfer funds out of Savings Goals to be accessible for spending. The Savings Goals feature offered as part of the Service is not a savings account. Users will not receive interest or other earnings on funds that are allocated to Savings Goals. Some of the Services may be provided in whole or in part by Service Providers and Third Parties. The Services and the App may not be accessible at all times. In addition, functionality, features, content or information may change, and may not always be available.

3. Codes. What Codes are and rules for using them. We may in our sole discretion provide welcome, referral or promo codes (Codes) to earn amounts credited to a Primary or Secondary User’s Mydoh wallet (Reward). Additional terms may apply to each Code, including limits on who may use a Code and limits on the time period in which a Code may be used. We may provide a Primary or Secondary User with an existing Mydoh wallet (Referring User) an opportunity to invite known friends and family members living in Canada with whom they have a personal or family relationship who are of the age of majority in the province in which they live (Referred User).

For purposes of this section, (1) “personal relationship” means the individuals have had direct, voluntary, two-way communications and it would be reasonable to conclude that they have a personal relationship, taking into consideration any relevant factors such as the sharing of interests, experiences, opinions and information evidenced in the communications, the frequency of communication, the length of time since the parties communicated or whether the parties have met in person; and (2) “family relationship” means the individuals are related through a marriage, common-law partnership or any legal parent-child relationship and those individuals have had direct, voluntary, two-way communication.

Referring Users must follow all applicable laws and only use Codes for the intended purpose. Referring Users must tell a Referred User that the Referring User will receive a Reward for a Completed Referral, as defined below.

Referring Users may not directly or indirectly:

  • distribute Codes in bulk,
  • use automated systems or bots through any channel to distribute Codes,
  • send a commercial electronic message with a Code to people with whom they do not have a personal or family relationship or otherwise distribute a Code in a way that would constitute an unsolicited commercial electronic message or spam under any applicable law or regulation;
  • duplicate, sell or transfer a Code in any manner;
  • send a Code to themselves, create more than one account for the purpose of earning amounts credit to their Mydoh wallet;
  • make any false or misleading representations related to Mydoh; or
  • use the Mydoh logo or represent themselves as us. 

To complete a referral, a Referred User must successfully

  • use the applicable Code when creating their Primary User Mydoh wallet before the end of the applicable Referral Year;
  • fund their Mydoh wallet; and
  • create a Mydoh account for their child (Completed Referral).

For the purposes of this section, “Referral Year” means the period of time beginning on June 1 and running to and including May 30 of the immediately following calendar year.

We reserve the right to approve or reject Referred Users in our sole discretion. Subject to 8 of these Terms, we may change Rewards or modify any related terms at any time for any reason without prior notice to you and without liability to us.

After a Completed Referral, a Referring User and Referred User will each receive a Reward as applicable. Referring Users may earn the following amounts for each Completed Referral in a Referral Year to a maximum total Reward of $400: (1) $10 each for Completed Referrals 1 and 2; (2) $20 each for Completed Referrals 3, 4, 5, and 6; and (3) $30 each for Completed Referrals 7 to 16 (inclusive). A Referred User will receive a Reward of $10 and may only ever earn one Reward as a Referred User.

LevelMax. Completed Referrals Referring User Reward Referred User Reward
12$10 per Completed Referral$10
24$20 per Completed Referral$10
310$30 per Completed Referral$10
4Unlimited$0$10

An amount credited as a Reward may not be withdrawn from a Mydoh wallet for 30 days after it is credited. If a Referring User or Referred User closes their account within 30 days, the Reward will be deducted from their withdrawn funds.

We reserve the right to review all amounts credited in relation to Codes. We may withhold, deny, deduct, cancel or limit the number of Codes made available to you and any amount credited in the event we, in our sole discretion, determine that any use of a Code was in error, abusive, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of these Terms. Subject to Section 8 of these Terms, we may cancel an amount credited or disable a Code at any time for any reason without prior notice to you and without any liability to us. Nothing in these Terms or in the relationship between a Referring User or other provider of a Code (Code Provider) and us will be construed, implied or deemed to create a partnership, joint venture, principal and agent relationship or employer and employee relationship between a Referring User or Code Provider and us. A Referring User or Code Provider does not have authority to act for or on behalf of us.

4. Remote ID Verification. How will we use your ID and/or image?

By accepting these Terms, you agree that this section will immediately apply to you if you decide to use our Remote ID Verification service in the App. If you do, we will capture and retain information from your government issued I.D. and may prompt you to use an image you take of yourself in order to use our technology to verify your identification and facilitate the account opening process or any other process you are undertaking with RBC for which ID verification is required.

Your information may also be used to manage our risks and operations, prevent fraud or misuse of funds and to improve our technology, and may be shared with our regulators to fulfill legal requirements or Service Providers to provide the Services (including the Remote ID Verification service).

An image of your I.D. and the image you take of yourself will be retained until the verification process is complete, following which, all images will be destroyed after 90 days. If you have completed the ID verification, but then abandon or cancel the process you are undertaking with RBC, information from your ID will be retained up to one year.

If you do not want us to capture and retain information from your ID or your image:

  • please exit and do not continue with the Mydoh account registration process.
