These Terms of Use (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“you,” “your,” or “User”) and Oxbow Holdings, Inc., doing business as Eggz (“Eggz,” “Company,” “we,” or “us”). By accessing or using our website located at https://www.myeggz.com (“Site”), mobile applications (“App”), and services (“Services”), you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and any additional terms applicable to specific features or services.

PLEASE NOTE: THESE TERMS INCLUDE A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. READ SECTION 18 CAREFULLY.

Eggz is a personal investment platform with a social gifting component. Our Services allow users to:
- Create and manage investment accounts
- Receive monetary contributions from friends and family for specific events (e.g., birthdays)
- Invest in U.S. securities through a brokerage account facilitated by Alpaca Securities LLC, a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member of SIPC
3. Eligibility and Registration
You must be at least 18 years old, a U.S. resident, and legally able to enter into contracts. To access investment features, you must:
- Create an account with Eggz
- Complete identity verification via Alpaca, including submission of required KYC information

You must provide accurate and complete information and keep it up to date. If we determine that information you provide is false or misleading, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account.
Joining a waitlist does not constitute the opening of an account or formation of a customer relationship.
4. Revenue Model
Our revenue model includes:
- A flat monthly subscription fee (currently $5)
- A percentage-based AUM fee, which may be waived for users below certain investment thresholds
Details may be provided in separate disclosures or agreements.
5. Contributions and Gifting
Eggz enables friends and family to make contributions to a user’s account:
- Contributions are treated as deposits into the investment account
- Contributions are not refundable once invested
- Users are solely responsible for understanding any tax implications of contributions received
6. ACH Returns and Negative Balances
ACH transfers may be returned or reversed for reasons including insufficient funds, closed accounts, stop payment requests, or claims of unauthorized transactions. Returns may occur automatically for up to 60 days after initiation, and reversal requests may be made for up to two years.
If a return occurs after funds have been credited to your Eggz balance or transferred from the Dwolla platform, your account may reflect a negative balance. You are solely responsible for resolving any negative balance.
- Eggz may automatically deduct funds from your account balance, offset future contributions, or re-debit your linked payment method to cover the negative balance.
- If your negative balance exceeds $25 or remains unresolved for more than 7 days, your account may be restricted from making new contributions or withdrawals until resolved.
- If your negative balance exceeds $100 or remains unresolved for more than 30 days, Eggz may escalate the matter, including referral to a third-party collections agency or other lawful recovery actions.
- You will be notified by email (primary method) and in-app message (secondary method) if a return results in a negative balance. Eggz will provide reminders and, if needed, a final notice before escalation.
- Accounts with repeated ACH returns or suspected fraud may be restricted or terminated.
Eggz reserves the right to place holds, suspend accounts, or limit access to services in accordance with Dwolla’s risk policies and NACHA rules.
