Your decision to enter into this agreement and your use of the Website will not violate any applicable law, regulation, or ordinance.

Your decision to enter into this agreement and your use of the Website will not infringe the rights of any third parties.

You will at all times supply truthful and accurate information to us and you will not misrepresent yourself to the public through your use of the Website.

You will never use the Website, or any services we provide to you, in a manner that violates the law or the legal rights of a third party.

You are at least 18 years of age if you are using the Website as a nonprofit.

Nonprofit Users

If you are a nonprofit using the Website, you represent, warrant, and irrevocably covenant (i) that these Terms have been agreed to and accepted by a person with the authority to bind your organization and (ii) that you are a legitimate nonprofit entity organized under the laws of one of the fifty states of the United States of America.

If you are a nonprofit using the Website to raise money, you appoint us as your agent for the limited purpose of collecting and periodically remitting the money you raise through the Website to you; we accept this appointment. The scope of this agency relationship is expressly limited to the collection and remittance of the money you raise through the Website. All other matters contemplated by these Terms are binding only as a result of the contractual nature of the Terms.

We will hold the money you raise through the Website in an account kept separate from our general business funds. You will remain equitable titleholder to the funds we collect on your behalf. We will remit funds collected on your behalf, less our fees, on the first and sixteenth of each month. Payments are offset by one payment cycle (to allow for refunds or chargebacks) as follows:

Money Raised Distributed On 1st-15th of the Month 1st Day of the Following Month 16th-31st of the Month 16th Day of the Following Month

You will be able to access reports from your account on the Website which detail each contribution you've received through the Website, the fee applicable to that transaction, and any chargebacks which have been initiated against you. You will also be able to view an "Account Statement" which summarizes the amount you are scheduled to receive from us for a given payment period and what fees apply for that payment period. You will be able to export these reports in various common file formats.

You must create a PayPal account in order to raise money through the Website. We will only transfer money to your PayPal account. If you have not already established such an account, you agree to create one.

You agree to bear sole responsibility for any chargebacks, refunds, or reversals which may occur as a result of your use of the Website. You agree that we have the authority to issue refunds and settle chargebacks on your behalf using the funds we are holding for you. Chargeback disputes resolved in favor of the initiating cardholder will result in a fee of $20 (on top of the returned funds), which you will be responsible for. We reserve the right to require that you maintain a reserve balance in your account to protect against chargebacks, reversals, refunds, and fees. If we require a reserve balance, we will reasonably determine the amount and duration of the reserve balance. If at any time your account has insufficient funds to cover the liabilities you have incurred, then you agree to promptly pay us by other means.

We will not solicit on your behalf nor will we act as a professional fundraising consultant to you. Nothing contained in these Terms shall be construed to create such a relationship.

Fees and Subscriptions

We charge a transaction fee for each donation or ticket sale that is made through the Website. The size of the transaction fee may vary depending upon whether or not the nonprofit benefitting from the transaction has purchased a subscription plan to the Website. The pricing for subscription plans, including applicable transaction fees, may be viewed by clicking here. If you purchase a subscription plan or upgrade, you agree to be bound by the Subscriptions Agreement, which supplements these Terms and may be viewed in full by clicking here.

The "Default Transaction Fee" (without purchase of a subscription) is:

· A static fee of $0.50 for each donation or individual ticket/registration sale of $5.00 or less

· A 6.2% + $0.30 fee for each donation or individual ticket/registration sale of more than $5.00

·  Transactions made with an American Express card are charged an additional 1%

· International transactions are charged an additional 1%

Transaction fees include all underlying credit card processing fees. For ticket or registration purchases, the transaction fee is applied to each individual ticket or registration even if several tickets or registrations are purchased as part of the same order.

Supporter Hosted Events

As part of the Website, we offer a third party events product that allows a nonprofit's supporters to create and sell tickets to events designed to support that nonprofit (the "Third Party Events Product"). If you are a nonprofit, you can purchase a subscription to use the Third Party Events Product. If you are a supporter of a nonprofit that has purchased such a subscription, you may have the option to host an event for that nonprofit using the Third Party Events Product (such event a "Third Party Event").

Each nonprofit that uses the Third Party Events Product and each supporter that hosts a Third Party Event accepts joint and several liability for any chargebacks, chargeback fees, invalidated transactions, or refunds arising out of the Third Party Event. You accept such joint and several liability. You agree that we have the authority to settle any chargebacks, reversals, fees, or refunds out of the money we are holding on your behalf. If at any time your account has insufficient funds to cover the liabilities you have incurred, then you agree to promptly pay us by other means.

In order to safeguard against the risk of chargebacks and refunds from Third Party Events, we will not pay the proceeds of a Third Party Event to either the event host or the benefitting nonprofit until the next scheduled payment date (1^st or 16^th of the month) following the completion of the Third Party Event. If we reasonably determine that there is a need to do so, we may hold proceeds (in whole or in part) from a Third Party Event, for up to ninety days after the completion of that event. If you are a nonprofit using the Third Party Events Product, we may also, in our sole discretion, require that you maintain a certain reserve balance in your account to protect against the aforementioned liabilities. The amount and duration of such reserve balance, if we require it, will be reasonably determined by us.

You understand that we cannot control or monitor the behavior of the many third parties using the Website. As such, you hereby release us, our successors and assigns, our affiliates, and each of the foregoing's respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (collectively, the "Releasees") from any and all liability, costs, expenses, losses, damages (including damage to property or personal injury or death), and claims, whether known or unknown, which may arise from (i) you hosting, attending, or authorizing an event posted on the Website, or (ii) the acts or omissions of third parties (collectively, the "Released Claims"). This release will apply even if one or more of the Released Claims is caused by, or contributed to by, the negligence of one or more of the Releasees.

In furtherance of the forgoing, you waive your rights under California Civil Code Section 1542 which states: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."

We will not be liable to you for special, consequential, indirect, or incidental damages (including lost revenues or profits), on any legal theory, even if we have been advised of the likelihood thereof. Our aggregate liability arising out of these Terms and your use of the Website or the features and services provided therein, on any legal theory, will not exceed the greater of (i) $100 dollars or (ii) the amount you have paid us in the past twelve months. Applicable law may not allow for the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Indemnification

You agree to hold the Releasees harmless and to defend and indemnify each of them for all costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees), damages, and liability from third party claims, which arise from, or relate to, your use of the Website or your breach of these Terms.

General

These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, as such laws are applied to agreements made between California residents and performed entirely within the State of California, and without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

The exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any disputes which may arise out of, or relate to, these Terms or your use of the Website will be the state and federal courts located in San Diego, County California. You hereby expressly and irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

These Terms do not create, and shall not be construed to create, a joint venture, partnership, or other formal business relationship between you and us. At all times we shall remain independent contractors with respect to one another.

You have neither the right nor the power to assign your rights under these Terms. Any purported assignment of your rights under these Terms will be NULL AND VOID.

These Terms contain the entire agreement between you and us, they are a complete integration of our agreement and supersede and displace any earlier or contemporaneous written or oral negotiations, statements, or agreements purporting to deal with the subject matter hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we have given you pricing different than the pricing recited in the section above titled "Fees and Subscriptions," then this fact shall not be construed as modifying or displacing these Terms, except for the limited modification of the directly affected pricing terms (e.g. the numbers we have agreed to change). In such a circumstance, you agree that you remain fully bound by these Terms of Service and that these Terms together with the modified pricing we have agreed to constitute the entire agreement between us. Any other modification to these Terms must be made in writing and signed by us.

If any provision of the Terms is found to be unenforceable, invalid, or illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, this finding shall not render any other provision of the Terms unenforceable, invalid, or illegal. We both agree that the court will have the authority to modify or replace the unenforceable, invalid, or illegal provision with a valid and enforceable provision that most closely represents our intentions with respect to the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision.

Any delay on your part, or on our part, to exercise a right or power granted under these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of such right or power. All waivers must be in writing and a waiver of any particular breach will not be construed as a waver of any other breach, or any succeeding breach.

The provisions of the sections of these Terms titled "Intellectual Property," "Waiver of Warranties," "Release," "Limitation of Liability," "Indemnification," and "General" will survive termination.
