Each Entrant must be the rightful owner (or have authorized use) of the e-mail address identified in the Entrant’s entry and/or the Entrant’s Stash Banking Account (as defined below). Stash will use commercially reasonable efforts to exclude employees of Stash, and its respective affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, advertising, promotion and fulfillment agencies and members of the immediate family or household of each, from being eligible to win prizes under this Sweepstakes. Immediate family member is defined as a parent, sibling or any person residing in the same household as an employee of Stash. Stash will be referred to herein as “Sponsor.” For purposes of this Sweepstakes, a “Stash Banking Account” is a debit account powered by Green Dot Bank, Member FDIC, that is and remains in good standing.

Stash and/or Green Dot Bank reserve the right to determine in its or their sole or joint discretion whether a Stash Banking Account is closed and/or in good standing. An account in good standing for purposes of this Sweepstakes is an account for which all required account opening documentation has been completed and verified, and is not locked, or restricted, or otherwise flagged in any way. If an Entrant’s Stash Banking Account is closed or not in good standing for any reason at any time, any prizes you win in accordance with these rules may be forfeited.
