Effective and Termination Dates of Agreement and Accounts. This Agreement will take effect when it is accepted by Sponsor, and such acceptance will be evidenced by internal records maintained by us. Once we have accepted your Account, Sponsor will begin billing as described in Section 9D of Part I. Sponsor may refuse to accept any account for any reason. Sponsor will cause commencement of the management of the Account upon the later of either the acceptance of this Agreement by Sponsor or the funding of the Account at the initial minimum investment as determined by Sponsor. If you choose to terminate your Account, depending on the manner of distribution, you may be charged applicable fees as set out in the Brokerage Agreement. Sponsor may, in its sole discretion and at any time, terminate this Agreement and/or discontinue or terminate the Account or any of the services upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to you. At which time, Sponsor may transfer the Account assets to an Ameriprise Financial Brokerage Account and the Brokerage Agreement will govern. Sponsor may also transfer certain assets in the Account to an Ameriprise Financial Brokerage Account if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the assets are inappropriate for the Account. If an Account has been closed due to Sponsor or financial advisor error, Sponsor may reopen the account for up to twelve (12) months using the previously executed documentation and will provide notice of that reopening to you. You may terminate this Agreement by contacting your financial advisor or you may call an Ameriprise Financial client service representative at 800.862.7919, enter the information requested and say "Representative" at the main menu.
