Ambassador Program Terms
Last updated: November 2, 2021.
1. Terms and Conditions
The Passport Ambassador Program (“Program”) offered by Foundation Devices, Inc. (“Foundation Devices”) has been created to reward you, our community members, (“you,” “Ambassador,” “Partner,” “Referrer,” “Participant”) for recommending our Passport hardware wallet to new customers (“Referred,” “Participant”). It was also created to reward these new customers for purchasing a Passport device. These Program Terms and Conditions are a binding agreement between you and Foundation Devices and will govern your participation in any and all Program offers. By participating in the Program, you agree to the website Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. You are not authorized to participate in the Program if you do not agree to these Program Terms and Conditions in their entirety.
Foundation Devices reserves the right to modify these Program Terms and Conditions at any time, at its sole discretion, and without notice to you. Foundation Devices may also, in its sole discretion, change, cancel, suspend, or modify any aspect of the Program without notice. Foundation Devices also reserves the right to disqualify any customers or prospective customers at any time from participation in the Program.
2. How the Program Works
Qualified Referrals. A Qualified Referral occurs when:
i. The Referrer shares a custom coupon code through e.g. email, Twitter, or any other communication means with a person, the Referred;
ii. The Referred then uses that coupon code to purchase one or more Passport devices at the Foundation Devices website; and
iii. When Foundation Devices fulfills Referred customer’s order.
Referral Reward. The Referred customer will receive a $10 discount per Passport device purchased.
Eligibility. To be eligible for participation in the Program, both the Referrer and the Referred must be at least 18 years of age. The Referred customer must not return their device or, if applicable, dispute the credit card transaction. Foundation Devices reserves the right to find ineligible any Participant in the Program at its sole discretion.
Conduct. Participants in the Program must comply with all up-to-date “SPAM” laws. Any distribution of your referral Ambassador URL that could constitute unsolicited commercial email or “spam” under any applicable law or regulation is expressly prohibited and will be grounds for immediate termination of your account and exclusion from Foundation Devices’s Referral Program. Foundation Devices reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to prohibit any Ambassador from participating in any aspect of the Program if Foundation Devices deems or suspects that such Ambassador has engaged in or has attempted to engage in any of the following: a) acting in violation of these Program Terms and Conditions; b) damaging, tampering with or corrupting the operation of the Program or Site; c) activity deemed in the sole discretion of Foundation Devices to be generally inconsistent with the intended operation of the Program. Foundation Devices shall be the sole determiner in cases of suspected abuse, fraud, or breach of these Program Terms and Conditions or intent of these Program Terms and Conditions.
3. Referral Fee
Amount of Fee. The Referrer will receive $10 per Passport device purchased by the Referred customer.
Payment Conditions. Foundation Devices will pay the Referrer on or before the 10th of each quarter (March, June, September, and December), the total amount of referral fees due, based on the number of Qualified Referrals in the previous quarter. Referral Fee are paid via Bitcoin, to the Bitcoin address provided by the Referrer at signup. The exchange used to determine the Bitcoin conversion rate will be at our reasonable discretion, and the Bitcoin exchange rate will be calculated immediately prior to payouts.
For payments that exceed $600 in a calendar year, Referrer will be required to fill out a W-9 form.
4. Liability
Binding Effects. By participating in the Program, you agree to and are bound by the Program Terms and Conditions. If you do not wish to agree to and abide by the Program Terms and Conditions in their entirety, you are not authorized to participate in the Program.
Release.

6. Dispute Resolution
Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Foundation Devices and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
(a) Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to this Agreement, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (i) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (ii) you or Foundation Devices may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents).
IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH FOUNDATION DEVICES, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST FOUNDATION DEVICES ALLEGING CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS ON YOUR BEHALF. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST FOUNDATION DEVICES IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING WHETHER TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
(b) Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent: Corporation Trust Company, 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, will be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/ all other claims will be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Foundation Devices will pay them for you. In addition, Foundation Devices will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Foundation Devices will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Foundation Devices. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
(d) Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND FOUNDATION DEVICES HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Foundation Devices are instead electing that all claims and disputes will be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified herein. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
(e) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER.

You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: Foundation Devices, Inc., 6 Liberty Square #6018, Boston, MA 02109 or hello@foundationdevices.com, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used in the Registration Form, and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter into in the future, with us.
(g) Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts will be of no force and effect and will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
(h) Survival of Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Foundation Devices.
(i) Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Foundation Devices makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice to Foundation Devices.
(j) Confidentiality. You acknowledge that the arbitration proceedings are confidential and that any order and settlement in connection with the Arbitration will not be disclosed to any third party, including by press release, disclosure to any member of the press, posting to social media pages or discussion (whether orally or in writing) with other members of the community or failure to keep the settlement documents secure and not visible to third parties.
