What are the terms and conditions of membership?
I wish to apply for membership of the Scheme for me, or, where indicated, for my child or dependant. I confirm that I have received, read and understood the current Generate KiwiSaver Scheme Product Disclosure Statement dated 30 June 2023 and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set out in the Product Disclosure Statement and Trust Deed governing the Scheme. I understand that if a transaction request is invalid or insufficient information is provided, it will not be processed until valid documentation is received. I understand that, if I am a member of another KiwiSaver scheme, my balance in that KiwiSaver scheme will be transferred to the Scheme if my application is accepted. I authorise the manager or supervisor of that KiwiSaver scheme to provide the Manager or Supervisor of the Scheme with personal information about me as necessary to complete the transfer. I understand that neither the Manager nor the Supervisor has represented or implied that any particular fund or investment strategy is appropriate for my particular circumstances. I understand that investments in the Scheme are subject to investment risk and that the value of my investment may rise and fall from time to time. I understand that the distributor through which I joined the Scheme (if applicable) may be remunerated by the Manager for distributing the Scheme. I acknowledge that none of the Manager, the Supervisor and any distributor through which I joined the Scheme will be liable to me for any loss as a consequence of them accepting or acting on instructions from me or an authorised signatory in respect of my membership in the Scheme (and that none of the Manager, the Supervisor, or any other person (including the Crown) guarantees the performance of the Scheme or the repayment of any money payable from the Scheme). I confirm that I meet the eligibility criteria for joining the Scheme as set out on page 6 of the Product Disclosure Statement and that all of the information in this application form is true and correct. I agree to notify the Manager immediately if there is any change in the information given in this application form.
By submitting this Application Form I consent to receive all forms of information and communication including account information, confirmation information, newsletters, Scheme annual reports, annual member statements and annual tax certificates by any form of communication including email or other electronic means. I agree, pursuant to the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007, that the person sending any such message need not include a functional unsubscribe facility in the message. Telephone calls may be recorded for training purposes or to provide security for transactions by the Manager, its related companies or agents. I confirm that I have read and I accept the “Declarations” in the above section.
And/Or if submitting on behalf of an applicant under 18, I confirm that I am a legal Parent or Guardian of the applicant. I confirm that I have read and accepted the “Declarations” in the above section on behalf of the applicant. If I am the only person signing as a parent or guardian, I confirm that I am the sole legal Parent or Guardian. If the applicant is aged 16 or 17 and becoming a KiwiSaver member for the first time, only one parent/guardian is required to sign along with the applicant. If the applicant is aged 16 or 17 and is already a member of a KiwiSaver scheme; or is married, in a civil union or a de facto relationship, the applicant alone can sign. If the applicant is aged 15 and under and becoming a KiwiSaver member for the first time, all parents/guardians must sign. If the applicant is aged 15 and under and is already a member of a KiwiSaver scheme, one parent or guardian can sign, provided they have the consent of all of the applicant’s other parent(s)/guardians(s).
