Note
Sample text to review with a lawyer. This template is not legal advice. Adapt it to your organization and to the law where you raise funds before launch.
These terms apply when you use this site, give online, or take part in our campaigns. Please read them with our donation and refund policy and privacy policy. By using the site, you accept these terms.
Who we are
This site is run by Givo, 100 Example Street, Suite 200, Springfield, ST 00000. You can reach us at hello@example.org. In these terms, “we” and “us” mean Givo, and “you” means anyone who uses the site.
Using this site
You may use this site to learn about our work, give, sign up, and get in touch. Please do not:
- use the site for anything unlawful, or to collect other people’s data
- try to break, overload, or get around the security of the site or the payment pages
- pretend to be someone else, or to speak for us without our written agreement
We may change, pause, or remove any part of the site at any time.
Donations
When you give through this site:
- you confirm that the money is yours to give and that you are old enough to make a payment under your local law
- card and bank payments are processed by our payment providers under their own terms; we never see your full card details
- a gift is a voluntary donation, not a purchase, and you receive nothing in exchange other than any thank-you items described on the form
- monthly and other recurring gifts continue until you change or cancel them
- refunds, tax receipts, and how we use restricted and unrestricted gifts are explained in the donation and refund policy
Fundraising in our name
If you raise money for us, for example through a personal fundraising page or an event, you must:
- say clearly that you are raising money for Givo, not that you work for us
- pass on all the money raised, and not deduct your own costs without our written agreement
- follow the fundraising and collection laws where you raise the money
- stop if we ask you to
We may remove a fundraising page that breaks these terms or could harm our reputation.
Content you share with us
When you send us a story, photo, comment, or review, you confirm that it is yours to share and that anyone shown in it agrees. You give us a free, non-exclusive licence to publish it on our site, in our reports, and in our campaigns. You can ask us to remove it at any time and we will stop using it in new material.
Our content and brand
The text, photos, logo, and name on this site belong to us or to the people who licensed them to us. You may share links to our pages and quote short extracts with credit. Please ask us before you use our logo or name, for example on an event poster.
Links to other sites
We link to other sites when it is useful, such as partners and payment providers. We are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices.
Accuracy and liability
We do our best to keep the information on this site accurate and up to date, including campaign totals, but figures can lag behind and the site may not always be available. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses that arise from using the site. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have by law.
Changes and governing law
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. These terms are governed by the law of the place where Givo is registered, and its courts have jurisdiction, unless your local law gives you other rights.
