These General Terms and Conditions are subject to change and updates from time to time. As a user you are responsible for logging into the sites and checking the general conditions and changes made to them. The most up-to-date version of the Terms and Conditions will apply to any future use of the Sites. By registering on the site, you agree to these general terms and conditions.

These terms are written in masculine for convenience only, but are intended for both women and men.

General

1.1 The purpose of the Sites is to provide information about non-profit organizations, and to help non-profit organizations and the general public (hereinafter: the "User" or "user") to donate and fundraise.

1.2 Through the Sites, users can advertise themselves, raise donations, create fundraising campaigns, and communicate with donors and supporters.

1.3 If you are a resident of Israel, you confirm that you only donate funds reported to the Israeli tax authorities. If you are a resident of a country other than Israel, you declare that the funds you have donated are reported to your country of residence.

1.4 As a user, you agree to receive mailings and updates from IT, about your account and about the services offered by IT. You can remove yourself from the mailing list at any time by clicking on the link in the email you receive, or by sending an email to IT at [email protected].

1.5 The user agrees that his use of the sites is on the basis of AS IS and AS AVAILABLE and that his use of the sites is at her own risk. IT does not guarantee uninterrupted and secure access to its services. Website operation may be interrupted by many factors beyond the control of IT. To the fullest extent permitted by law, IT does not undertake any terms, representations or other obligations with respect to the Sites, other than those set forth in this Agreement.

1.6 Subject to this section, IT will not be liable in any case (whether due to breach of agreement, negligence or for any other reason) for any loss or damage suffered by the user as a result of using the Sites, including (but not limited to) loss of profits, damages and others, loss of sales, loss of revenue, loss of goodwill, loss of software or information of any kind, loss of transactions, loss or waste of time of employees and management of the user, or any other direct, indirect or special loss.

1.7 IT may change the format and content of the Sites from time to time. The user must REFRESH the web pages of the sites, as well as delete their cookies and browser history, each time they re-enter the Sites to ensure that the customer uses the latest version of the Sites, including the latest version of these general terms and conditions.

1.8 IT reserves the right to cancel any campaign or close a user account at any time, in its sole discretion. In such a case, the user will be sent a message to the e-mail address he provided when registering on the site. If donations have been made to the user through the sites that have not yet been transferred to the user, these donations will be canceled. Also, in the event that a campaign does not reach the declared financial target, IT reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to cancel the campaign and return the funds to the donors.

1.9 If the user chooses to raise donations for a non-profit organization, then any donation raised will belong solely to this organization, and the decision whether to allocate funds raised to the specific purpose for which the user raised donations will belong solely to the organization.

Holding funds in trust for Israeli non-profit organizations

1.10 IT may serve as a trustee for funds donated through the Sites to Israeli non-profit organizations. In such cases, donations made through the Sites are not donated to IT but are held by IT in trust until they are transferred to the recipients.

1.11 IT will transfer to the User the full amount of funds donated to the User and held in trust by IT, less the service fee as set out in Section 5 below.

1.12 In the event that IT transfers to the User an amount greater than the amount donated to the user less the service fee, the User will be required to return to IT said funds within 10 days of discovery.

1.13 The transfer of funds held in a trust is conditional on meeting any requirement for a legal or financial document that will be required by IT related to proper management and in accordance with Israeli and international laws.

1.14 IT will hold the funds in trust for a maximum period of 180 days. Should the user cease to provide any financial or legal document that has been requested to be provided to IT, the donation funds will be re-allocated to a different social purpose at IT's discretion.

1.15 The user is aware that he is responsible for issuing a receipt to his shekel donors, in the amount of the full amount of the donation. The date of every donation will be indicated in the User's account on the Site. The user is responsible for issuing a receipt for this date, although the user will receive the actual donation money at a later date.

Processing payments using the User's own merchant accounts

1.16 IT permits the User to connect his own merchant account (Stripe, Paypal, Isracard, Visa CAL, Paybox, and Bit) to IT's payment processing platform. In such a case, donations processed through the platform will not be held in trust by IT, but transferred directly by said merchant account providers to the User.

1.17 In the case of payments made by Israeli merchant account providers, IT will issue a quarterly invoice to the User for IT's service fee, and said invoice will be paid by the client within 10 business days.

1.18 In the case of payments made by Paypal and Stripe, IT's service fee will be deducted immediately from the payment prior to deposit in the User's Paypal or Stripe account.

Donations in foreign currencies to Israeli non-profit organizations

1.19 IT will enable donors to make donations in foreign currencies through its platforms. If a foreign donation is allocated towards the user, the donation will appear in the user's account. However, the donation is not made directly to the user but to one of IT's international partners: in the US - America Gives (also known as American Support for Israel); in Canada - Canada Charity Partners; in the UK - UK Gives; In France - Fonds de Dotation IG; In Australia: Chai Charitable Foundation.

1.20 In practice, the allocation of the donation is a recommendation and the international partner exercises discretion whether to respect the donor's recommendation on whether to donate the donation to a particular user. In order for a user to be eligible to receive the donation, he must meet the eligibility conditions of the international partner, as specified on the website. If a donation is received by the international partner and the user does not meet the eligibility conditions, it will have up to 180 days to meet the eligibility conditions. After 180 days, the international partner will re-allocate the donation towards a different social cause.

1.21 If 180 days have passed from the date of donation, and after meeting the eligibility conditions, the international partner has decided to donate the funds to the same organization to which the donor intended the donation, an additional service fee will be charged for each fiscal year between donation and transfer. For example: If the original donation was made on 07.2018 and only on 02.2020, after the association met the eligibility conditions, the international partner decided to transfer the funds to it, a separate service fee will be charged for the fiscal year 2018, 2019, and 2020.
