We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify portions of these Terms of Service at any time. When we do this, we will post the revised Terms of Service on this page and will indicate the date of such revision.

Your continued use of the Services after the date of any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service.

If you do not wish to accept the new Terms of Service, you may discontinue your use of the Services.

In addition, when using the Services, and unless you are in European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland (“Europe”), you will be subject to additional applicable policies including without limitation, the Privacy Policy. All such terms are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service (provided, however, these Terms of Service will take precedence in the event of conflict). We shall resolve any such conflicts at our sole discretion, and all of our determinations are final.

ACCESS AND USE OF THE SERVICES
Donor Impact Services Description: The Donor Impact Services are offered as a platform to allow schools and/or school districts to post a fundraising campaign ("Campaign") to the Donor Impact Platform to connect with alumni and/or accept monetary donations ("Donations") from donors ("Donors").

Payment Processor: Donor Impact is not a payment processor and does not hold any funds. Instead, Donor Impact uses third-party payment processing partners to process Donations for a school (“Payment Processor”). You acknowledge and agree that the use of Payment Processors are integral to the Services and that we exchange information with Payment Processors in order to facilitate the provision of Services.

Payment Processor Fees: Although there are no fees to set up a school’s campaign, industry-standard payment processor fees apply (hereinafter and on the website referred to as "Payment Processor Fees"). To learn more about the Donor Impact Platform and applicable Payment Processor Fees, contact Legal@donorimpact.org.

The Services are platforms; We are not a Broker, Financial Institution, Creditor, or Charity: The Services are administrative platforms only. Donor Impact facilitates the Campaign of the school organizers and permits Donors to make donations to these schools. Donor Impact is not a broker, agent, financial institution, creditor, or 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation.

All information and content provided by Donor Impact relating to the Services are for informational purposes only, and Donor Impact does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any such information or content. No content is intended to provide financial, legal, tax, or other professional advice. Before making any decisions regarding any Campaigns, Donations, Donors, or any information or content relating to the Services, you should consult your financial, legal, tax, or other professional advisors as appropriate. You acknowledge that all information and content accessed by you using the Services is at your own risk.

Donor Impact has no control over the conduct of, or any information provided by, a school or district and hereby disclaims all liability in this regard to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. We do not guarantee that a school’s campaign will obtain a certain amount of Donations or any Donations at all. We do not endorse any campaign, school, or cause and we make no guarantee, express or implied, that any information provided through the Services is accurate. We expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility for the outcome or success of any Campaign. You, as a Donor, must make the final determination as to the value and appropriateness of contributing to any school, campaign, or event.

No Solicitation: Donor Impact offers to help schools raise money. Donor Impact merely provides the technology to allow schools to connect with alumni and Donors. The existence of the Services is not a solicitation of donations by Donor Impact, and Donor Impact does not consult on the solicitation of contributions from the public, on behalf of any individual, entity, or organization. By using the Services, you understand and agree that Donor Impact shall not be responsible for the use of your donations or the amount of funds raised for the school.

Donors: All Donations are at your own risk. When you make a Donation through the Platform, it is your responsibility to understand how your money will be used. Donor Impact is not responsible for any offers, promises, rewards, or promotions made or offered by schools. We do not and cannot verify the information that schools supply, nor do we represent or guarantee that the Donations will be used in accordance with any fundraising purpose prescribed by a school or in accordance with applicable laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we take possible fraudulent activity and the misuse of funds raised very seriously. If you have reason to believe that a school is not raising or using the funds for its stated purpose, please contact Donor Impact to alert our team of this potential issue and we will investigate. If you are a donor, you may also be covered by the Donor Impact Guarantee.  

1.  Donors are not permitted to impose restrictions on the use of Donations by a school. To the extent that a Donation is made in response to a campaign or solicitation, any such directions shall constitute non-binding recommendations only and the school shall have full discretion to determine how all Donations will be used.

2.  Donor Impact makes no representation as to whether all or any portion of your Donations, including, if any, Payment Processor Fees, are tax deductible or eligible for tax credits. Donor Impact will have no liability for any claim by any federal, state, provincial, territorial, local, or any other tax authority with respect to the characterization on any applicable tax return of any Donation by you, any User, or any Charity. You should consult your tax advisor as to the amount of your Donation that is tax deductible or eligible for tax recognition, having regard to (among other things) the tax status of the recipient of any Donation in any relevant jurisdiction, and particularly if you are awarded a gift or prize in connection with your Donation.

3.  Donors shall provide Donor Impact with such information as is required to enable the issuing of an official Donation receipt. Donors acknowledge and agree that, in accordance with the Privacy Policy, certain of Donor’s personal information will be shared with the school to which such Donor makes a donation (including without limitation as part of a Donor List, as set forth above) and may be used by such schools in accordance with their Privacy Policy (if applicable). Donor Impact is not responsible, and shall not be liable, for any school or school district’s use of any Donor information.

Your Registration Obligations: You may be required to register with Donor Impact in order to access and use certain features of the Services. If you choose to register for the Services, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself. You agree to keep registration information current and up to date.

Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you are under 13 years of age (16 in Europe), you are not authorized to use the Services, with or without registering. In addition, if you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction (typically 18 or 19 years of age), you may use the Services, with or without registering, only with the approval of your parent or guardian. Certain aspects of our Services may also require you to register with, and agree to the terms of, third-party service providers (e.g., Payment Processors), with whom Donor Impact has entered into contracts, in order to be able to benefit from their services. If Donor Impact or one of our payments processors at any time discovers that the information you provided about you is incorrect or violates any of these Terms of Service or their terms of service, the Services may be suspended and/or terminated with immediate effect and fines may be applied by the relevant authorities which will in all such cases be payable by you. You acknowledge and agree that the use of third-party Payment Processors are integral to the Services and that we exchange information with such third parties in order to facilitate the provision of Services as set out in our Privacy Policy.

Donations
All donations are subject to a Payment Processor Fee for each donation. 

1.  Chargebacks and Refunds. Occasionally, a Donor may dispute a credit card charge for a Donation through the Services.

If Donations are refunded to the Donor and Stripe has already remitted the payment to the school, Stripe will deduct the chargebacks or refunds from future payments to the school, and if necessary, issue an invoice to the applicable school. The applicable school expressly agrees that it will be responsible for paying Stripe the full amount of any Donation refund due to a Donor. Stripe may elect to offset a future Donation rather than requesting that the school return the refunded Donation.

2.  Receiving Funds. Receipt of Donations, minus any applicable Payment Processor Fees, is based upon and subject to the applicable Payment Processor's procedures and terms. Donor Impact is not a payment processor and does not hold funds.

3.  Donor Impact does not withhold funds for tax purposes or otherwise. Schools will be solely responsible for taxes based on applicable international, federal, state, local, or any other taxes or levies, or for any applicable taxes based on their net income or gross receipts (if any).

Ownership of Donor Lists and Data

Donor Impact Platform. As between Donor Impact and schools using the Donor Impact Platform, schools may request Donor Lists (defined below) and Donor Data (defined below) for compliance and transactional purposes.

Taxes: It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the Donations you receive through your use of the Services. It is solely your responsibility to assess, collect, report, or remit the correct tax, if any, to the appropriate tax authority.

Member Account, Password, and Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account, if any, and are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify Donor Impact of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) sign out from your account at the end of each session when accessing the Services. Donor Impact will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.

Modifications to Services: Donor Impact reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services (or any part thereof) at any time and for any reason, with or without notice, and without any liability to you or to any third party for any claims, damages, costs, or losses resulting therefrom.

Content Manifestly Made Public by the User.

Public Content; Public Display of Information and Donations: Some of your activity on and through the Services is public. As a Donor, you have the option to publicly display your Donation for all to see, including on search engines (like Google and Yahoo). Please remember that if you choose to provide information using certain public features of the Services, then that information is governed by the privacy settings of those particular features and may be publicly available. Individuals reading such information may use or disclose it to other individuals or entities without our knowledge and without your knowledge, and search engines may index that information. We, therefore, urge you to think carefully about including any specific information you may deem private in content that you create or information that you submit through the Services. Please see our Privacy Policy for information on the ways that we may collect, use, and store certain information about you and your use of the Services.

Unsolicited Information: Please be advised that User Content and other unsolicited information you provide may be publicly accessible.  We collect information through customer support communications, your communications to us of ideas for new products or modifications to existing products, and other unsolicited submissions, or any questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, feedback, or other information about the Services (collectively, with publicly-accessible information, “Unsolicited Information”). By sending us Unsolicited Information, (a) you agree that we are under no obligation of confidentiality, expressed or implied, with respect to the Unsolicited Information; (b) you acknowledge that we may have something similar to the Unsolicited Information already under consideration or in development; (c) you agree that Donor Impact will be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of the Unsolicited Information for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to you; (d) you represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit the Unsolicited Information; (e) to the extent necessary, you hereby grant to Donor Impact a fully paid, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, and fully transferable and sublicensable right (through multiple tiers) and license to use, reproduce, perform, display, distribute, adapt, modify, re-format, create derivative works of, and otherwise commercially or non-commercially exploit in any manner, any and all Unsolicited Information, and to sublicense the foregoing rights; and (f) you irrevocably waive, and cause to be waived, against Donor Impact and its users any claims and assertions of any moral rights contained in such Unsolicited Information. This Unsolicited Information section shall survive any termination of your account or the Services.

You acknowledge and agree that Donor Impact may preserve Unsolicited Information, as well as User Content, and may also disclose your Unsolicited Information or User Content if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with legal process, applicable laws or government requests; (b) enforce these Terms of Service; (c) respond to claims that any User Content violates the rights of third parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Donor Impact, its users or the public.

Third-Party Communications: If you use any feature of the Services that allows you to communicate with third parties (such as to refer a third party to the Services or to communicate with them regarding a Campaign or a donation), either by submitting Third-Party Data to the Services or otherwise permitting the Services to automatically access Third-Party Data in your possession, you acknowledge and agree that you have the authority of the relevant third party for us to access and use the relevant Third-Party Data and that you have notified these third parties and informed them how their information is collected and used by Donor Impact to provide the Services. We reserve the right to identify you as the person who has made the referral in any messages that are sent to them. We use Third-Party Data to (a) contact such third party using the Third-Party Data provided, and/or (b) provide you with an editable template message designed to facilitate communications between you and such third party through the Services. In addition to sending the foregoing communications, we may also send reminders or related messages to you and to third parties on your behalf from time to time where permitted by applicable law. In each case, any such communication sent to third parties using Third-Party Data will provide a means to “opt-out” of receiving further communication of the same nature.

Promotions on the Donor Impact Platform: You are not permitted to offer any contest, competition, reward, giveaway, raffle, sweepstakes, or similar activity (each, a "Promotion") on or through the Donor Impact Services.

Data Retention: You acknowledge that Donor Impact has no obligation to you to retain data relating to any account or Campaign. You acknowledge that Donor Impact reserves the right to delete data or to terminate accounts or Campaigns at any time and for any reason, with or without notice, and without any liability to you or to any third party for any claims, damages, costs, or losses resulting therefrom.

Mobile Donor Impact Services: The Donor Impact Services include certain features that may be made available via a mobile device, including the ability to (i) upload User Content to the Donor Impact Platform, (ii) browse the Donor Impact Platform and (iii) access certain items through an application downloaded and installed on a mobile device (collectively, the "Mobile Services"). To the extent you access Mobile Services, your wireless service carrier's standard charges, data rates, and other fees may apply. In addition, downloading, installing, or using certain Mobile Services may be prohibited or restricted by your carrier, and not all Mobile Services may work with all carriers or devices. By using the Mobile Services, you agree that we may communicate with you by SMS, MMS, text message, or other electronic means to your mobile device and that certain information about your usage of the Mobile Services may be communicated to us. We shall comply with any additional requirements that may apply under local laws and regulations before communicating with you in this manner. In the event that you change or deactivate your mobile telephone number, you agree to promptly update your Donor Impact account information to ensure that your messages are not sent to the person that acquires your old number.

PROHIBITED CONDUCT
With respect to all Donations you make or accept through the Services, you agree:

1.  not to make or accept any Donations that you know or suspect to be erroneous, suspicious, or fraudulent;
2.  not to use the Services in or for the benefit of a country, organization, entity, or person embargoed or blocked by any government, including those on sanctions lists identified by the United States Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC);
3. to maintain reasonable and standard security measures to protect any information transmitted and received through the Services, including without limitation by adhering to any security procedures and controls required by Donor Impact from time to time;
4.  to maintain a copy of all electronic and other records related to Donations as necessary for Donor Impact to verify compliance with these Terms of Service and make such records available to Donor Impact upon our request. For clarity, the foregoing does not affect or limit your obligations to maintain documentation as required by applicable laws, rules, regulations, or governmental authority; and
5.  at Donor Impact’s request, including without limitation in case of investigations by Donor Impact, a payment processing partner, or regulatory or governmental authority, to fully cooperate in the auditing of such records, investigation of the relevant circumstances and remedy of any uncovered violation or wrongdoing.

Donor Impact reserves the right to refuse, condition, or suspend any Donations or other transactions that we believe in our sole discretion may violate the Terms of Service or harm the interests of our users, business partners, the public, or Donor Impact, or that expose you, Donor Impact, or others to risks unacceptable to us. We may share any information related to your use of the Services with the appropriate financial institution, regulatory authority, or law enforcement agency consistent with our legal obligations. This information may include information about you, your account, your Donors, your Donations, and transactions made through or in connection with your use of the Services.

Donor Conduct
Donations: In order to contribute to a school, a Donor will be required to provide Donor Impact information regarding its credit card or another payment instrument (“Payment Instrument”) that is linked to the Donor’s account on the Services (a “Billing Account”). You, as a Donor, represent and warrant to Donor Impact that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the applicable Payment Instrument. You agree that a certain minimum Donation amount may apply and that all Donations are final and will not be refunded unless Donor Impact, in its sole discretion, agrees to issue a refund, for example in accordance with the Donor Impact Guarantee. Donor Impact uses third-party payment processing partners to bill you through your Payment Instrument and Billing Account for any Donations made, and Donors acknowledge that by contributing a Donation, the Donor agrees to the processing, use, transfer, or disclosure of data by our Payment Processors pursuant to any and all applicable terms set forth by our payment partners (currently, Stripe, Inc.), in addition to these Terms of Service, including Stripe’s terms of service

Recurring Donations: Donors may have the option to contribute recurring period Donations (your agreement to make the Donations on a recurring basis, a “Donation Subscription” and each individual Donation made in connection with a Donation Subscription, a “Donation Installment”), and in electing to contribute on a recurring basis, you, as a Donor hereby acknowledge that Donation Subscriptions automatically renew and have a recurring payment feature and that unless and until you opt out of the auto-renewal of the Donation Subscription, which can be done through the Platform, any Donation Subscriptions you have signed up for will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the initial term originally selected. In connection with each of your Donation Subscriptions, you (i) hereby authorize Donor Impact to bill your Payment Instrument in the amount of the applicable Donation Installments in advance on a periodic basis until you terminate such periodic payments by opting out of the Donation Subscription, (ii) accept responsibility for payment of all Donation Installments occurring prior to opting out and (iii) agree to promptly update your Billing Account with any changes (for example, any changes related to your Payment Instrument, such as a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date). Changes to or termination of Donation Subscriptions or Donation Installments will apply only to Donation Installments that take place after Donor Impact receives notice of such change or termination. Donor Impact does not provide refunds of any amounts received in connection with previously made Donation Installments. Additionally, by enrolling in any Donation Subscriptions, you acknowledge and agree for any and all such Donation Subscriptions, that (a) the ongoing maintenance and operation of Donation Subscriptions and each Donation Installment are the sole responsibility of, and subject to the sole discretion of, the individual or entity responsible for managing and receiving the Donation Subscription, (b) individual Donation Installments may not be tax deductible, even if previous Donation Installments for the same Donation Subscription were, and the amount of each Donation Installment that is tax deductible may vary, (c) one or more specific Donation Installment may not be provided to or received by the applicable cause, charity or Campaign if such cause, charity or Campaign becomes unavailable, unable to accept Donations, or chooses to stop receiving Donations, which may occur for various reasons, such as if the cause, charity or Campaign becomes subject to an investigation or is suspended or removed from the Services by Donor Impact or (d) the amounts actually received by the applicable Campaign, Charity or cause may differ from one Donation Installment to the next (for example, if the Payment Processer fees associated with the Donation Installment change).
Your non-termination of a Donation Subscription reaffirms that Donor Impact is authorized to charge your Payment Instrument for the Donation Subscription in accordance with these terms. This does not waive our right to seek payment directly from you.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
Services Content, Software, and Trademarks: You acknowledge and agree that the Services may contain content or features ("Services Content") that are protected by copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary rights and laws.

Other company, product, and service names and logos used and displayed via the Services may be trademarks or service marks of their respective owners, who may or may not endorse or be affiliated with or connected to Donor Impact.

All goodwill generated from the use of Donor Impact Trademarks will inure to our exclusive benefit.

Third-Party Material: Under no circumstances will Donor Impact be liable in any way for any content or materials of any third parties (including Users) or any User Content (including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any User Content), or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any such User Content. You acknowledge that Donor Impact does not pre-screen User Content, but that Donor Impact and its designees will have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to refuse, remove, or allow any User Content that is available via the Services at any time and for any reason, with or without notice, and without any liability to you or to any third party for any claims, damages, costs or losses resulting therefrom.

User Content Transmitted Through the Services: With respect to the User Content, you represent and warrant that you own all right, title, and interest in and to, or otherwise have all necessary rights and consents to (and to allow others to) fully exploit, such User Content, including, without limitation, as it concerns all copyrights, trademark rights and rights of publicity or privacy related thereto. By uploading, sharing, providing, or otherwise making available any User Content, or any portion thereof, in connection with the Services, you hereby grant and will grant Donor Impact and its affiliated companies and users a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid up, transferable, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable license to copy, display, upload, perform, distribute, store, modify and otherwise use your User Content in connection with the operation of the Services or the promotion, advertising or marketing thereof, in any form, medium or technology now known or later developed.

You waive any right to inspect or approve any intermediary version(s) or finished version(s) of the results of the use of your User Content (including your name, image, or likeness). Further, if any person (other than you) appears in your User Content, you represent and warrant that you have secured all necessary licenses, waivers, and releases from such person(s) for the benefit of Donor Impact in a manner fully consistent with the licenses, waivers, and releases set forth above. You further acknowledge that your participation in the Services and submission of User Content is voluntary and that you will not receive financial compensation of any type associated with the licenses, waivers, and releases set forth herein (or Donor Impact's exploitation thereof), and that the sole consideration for the subject matter of this agreement is the opportunity to use the Services.

We do not guarantee that any Services Content will be made available through the Services. We reserve the right to, but do not have any obligation to, (i) remove, edit or modify any Services Content or User Content, in our sole discretion, at any time, without notice and for any reason (including, but not limited to, upon receipt of claims or allegations from third parties or authorities relating to such Services Content or User Content, or if we are concerned that you may have violated these Terms of Service), or for no reason at all and (ii) to remove or block any Services Content or User Content from the Services.

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard: The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of industry-mandated requirements for any business that handles, processes, or stores credit cards. The primary purpose of the standards is to maintain controls around cardholder data to reduce credit card fraud. As a service provider, Donor Impact is PCI DSS compliant and will maintain all applicable PCI DSS requirements to the extent that we possess or otherwise store, process, or transmit cardholder data on behalf of you, or to the extent that we can in any way impact the security of your cardholder data environment.

Copyright Complaints: Donor Impact respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or that your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, you should notify Donor Impact of your infringement claim in accordance with the procedure set forth below.
Donor Impact will process and investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and other applicable intellectual property laws with respect to any alleged or actual infringement. A notification of claimed copyright infringement should be emailed to Donor Impact's Copyright Agent at legal@donorimpact.org (Subject line: "DMCA Takedown Request").

The Services or third parties may provide or facilitate links, tools, widgets, or other features that allow you to access other sites, services, and resources provided by third parties (collectively, “Third Party Resources”). Donor Impact has no control over such Third Party Resources or any products, services, or content made available through or by such Third Party Resources, or the business practices of the third parties providing such Third Party Resources, and Donor Impact is not responsible for and does not endorse such Third Party Resources or the products, services or content made available thereby.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, and that if known by him or her would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party." If you are a resident of another jurisdiction—in or outside of the United States—you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.

DISPUTES
ARBITRATION CLAUSE & CLASS ACTION WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
Arbitration; Class Action Waiver. YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US OR ANY OF OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR EMPLOYEES ACTING IN THEIR CAPACITY AS SUCH (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DISPUTE INVOLVES A THIRD PARTY) WITH REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISPUTES RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, AND/OR RIGHTS OF PRIVACY AND/OR PUBLICITY, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU AND WE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING OUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms of Service will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either of us to (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

The Process. Any arbitration between you and us will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms of Service. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Our current address for Notice is: Donor Impact, Inc., ℅ Legal Department, 2355 Westwood Blvd., Suite 1806 Los Angeles, CA 90064 - USA. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to work with you and make a good faith effort to resolve the claim directly, but if we aren’t successful within 60 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by either of us must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount which exceeds the last written settlement amount offered by us in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, we will pay to you the higher of: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; or (ii) $10,000.00.

Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms of Service, we will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee unless your claim is for more than $10,000 in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at an agreed-upon location in Los Angeles, California, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephone hearing or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county of your billing address. If the arbitration finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in the Federal Rule of Civil procedure 11(b), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse us for all monies previously disbursed by us that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

*  No Class Actions. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
*  Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If we make any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to our address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to our address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with us will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
*  Enforceability. If this Disputes section is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Disputes section will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in the General section below will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms of Service.

Confidentiality. We each agree to keep the arbitration proceedings, all information exchanged between us, and any settlement offers confidential unless otherwise required by law or requested by law enforcement or any court or governmental body. However, we may each disclose these matters, in confidence, to our respective accountants, auditors, and insurance providers.

TERMINATION
You agree that Donor Impact, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or your access to the Services and remove and discard any User Content or data at any time and for any reason, with or without notice, and without any liability to you or to any third party for any claims, damages, costs or losses resulting therefrom.

USER DISPUTES
You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other user in connection with the Services and Donor Impact will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. Donor Impact reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any other user of the Services.

GENERAL
These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Donor Impact and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and Donor Impact with respect to the Services. You also may be subject to additional terms of service that may apply when you use affiliate or third-party services, third-party content or third-party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and Donor Impact agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Los Angeles County, California. The failure of Donor Impact to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be (or are otherwise) invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of Donor Impact, but Donor Impact may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. If we fail to enforce any of our rights, that does not result in a waiver of that right. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Services may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Platforms. Donor Impact may, at any time, assign our rights or delegate our obligations hereunder without notice to you in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of equity or assets, or by operation of law or otherwise. Nothing in these Terms shall prevent Donor Impact from complying with the law. Donor Impact shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.
