All content related to any Campaign including any descriptions or information regarding an Organization is being provided by the User(s) of our Services, and FunRaisen neither edits nor verifies any of such content. The inclusion of any such Organization in a Campaign or on our Website should not be viewed as an endorsement or recommendation of any kind, and FunRaisen makes no warranty or guarantee as to the truthfulness of any statements concerning the Organization, or the worthiness, good standing, or financial health of any such Organization. We also make no promises as to how any Donations may be used by the Organization.

Though we may facilitate discussions between Users who have disputes with each other, FunRaisen takes no responsibility and does not have any liability for any disputes or violations of agreements between any Users, including between Administrators and Sponsors.
FunRaisen may offer services to Users, including, without limitation, helping with drafting Campaign contents, assisting with Campaigns, or any other assistance/advice requested. Such services may be subject to a separate agreement between the User and FunRaisen. In either case, Administrators remain solely responsible for the Campaign and must comply with all obligations herein as the only responsible party for the Campaign.
FunRaisen makes no representation or warranty that the Website, Services, or any Campaign will operate error free or in an uninterrupted fashion or that any files of information that you download from the Website will be free of viruses or contamination or destructive features.
5. Creating a Campaign; Administrators
When you, as an Administrator, create a Campaign using our Services and ask for Contributions, you understand that you are entering into separate legal agreements with both FunRaisen and with the Sponsors, and the following rules will also apply, in addition to all other Terms in the Agreement.
Creating a running a Campaign is completely free to get started. Administrators will be charged a Service Fee as a portion of the Contributions the receive. The Service Fees are effective on the date the Service Fees are posted and may be updated from time to time. Service Fees will be charged at the then-current rate, or the rate agreed to by both FunRaisen and the Administrator. Service Fees will be automatically deducted from any payment issued by FunRaisen to the Administrator or their appointed beneficiary.
In connection with receiving Contributions from Sponsors, Administrators appoint FunRaisen as the Administrator’s limited agent for the sole purpose of receiving, holding, and settling payments to such Administrator or their appointed beneficiary. As the Administrators agent, FunRaisen’s receipt of Contributions on the Administrator’s behalf is the same as receipt of Contributions directly by an Administrator. FunRaisen’s appointment with respect to a Contribution terminates with the settlement of payment to the Administrator or their appointed beneficiary. Until payment is settled to the Administrator or their beneficiary, the Administrator agrees to bear the risk of loss, theft, destruction, or damage to that contribution.
Administrators should not assume that they will receive Contributions made to a Campaign. Disbursement of Contributions to an Administrator or their appointed beneficiary may be delayed, or withheld in their entirety for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, refunds, chargeback disputes, fraud, violation of the Terms of Use or any other policy, or any other situation where FunRaisen determines that Contributions should not be disbursed in its sole discretion. Contributions may also be used to reimburse FunRaisen for any chargebacks and refunds incurred by FunRaisen for a Campaign. FunRaisen may also seek reimbursement from an Administrator by any other lawful means, including by using a third party collection service.
Administrators should not ask for any information that is not required for their legitimate business purposes and should not request sensitive personal information such as a Social Security number or credit card/banking information from their Sponsors.
6. Contributing to a Campaign; Sponsors
When a Sponsor makes a Contribution to a Campaign, the Sponsor understands that the following rules and terms apply, in addition to all other Terms in the Agreement.
All Contributions are made voluntarily and at the sole discretion and risk of the Sponsor.
FunRaisen does not guarantee that Contributions will be used as promised by the Administrator or the Organization, or that the Campaign will achieve its goals. FunRaisen does not endorse, guarantee, make representations, or provide warranties for or about the quality , safety, morality, or legality of any Campaign or Contribution, or the truth or accuracy of User Content posted, therefore all Contributions are made at your own risk.
Sponsors will only use valid or authorized credit or debit cards as their payment method. Your card will be charged the amount of your total Contribution at the conclusion of the Campaign, as set by the Administrator, that you contributed to.
All donations are final and non-refundable once a Campaign has ended. If a Campaign has ended, Sponsor may try to contact the Administrator directly to request a refund. FunRaisen may, at its discretion, facilitate communications between an Administrator and a Sponsor, but we have no obligation to do so or to become involved in any way in any dispute.
FunRaisen makes no representations or warranties as to whether any portion of your Donation is tax deductible as aa charitable contribution. It is the responsibility of the Sponsor to confirm if the Beneficiary is a qualified organization. FunRaisen does not offer any tax or legal advice.
7. Term and Termination
This Agreement shall be effective as of the moment you access the Website, Services, or a Campaign, and shall continue until either Party terminates the Agreement (the “Term”). This Agreement may be terminated by FunRaisen immediately for any reason by giving the User written notice (email shall suffice) of such termination, or by FunRaisen terminating User’s access to User’s account. This Agreement may be terminated by the User for any reason by emailing FunRaisen at support@funraisen.com, and by ceasing all activities related to your use of our Services and any Campaign.
In addition, FunRaisen reserve all of its legal rights to pursue any and all legal remedies if we believe your use of our Services or involvement with a Campaign is fraudulent or otherwise unlawful, or you are taking any actions or omissions that violate any term or condition of this Agreement or in order to protect our name and goodwill, our business, our intellectual property and/or other User. The provisions covering FunRaisen’s proprietary rights, indemnity, disclaimers of warranty, limitation of liability, and governing law will survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.
8. Termination of Access
FunRaisen has the right, but not the obligation, to monitor your use of our Services and any Campaigns, and any and all related activities associated with such use. FunRaisen reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to suspend or terminate your account, or restrict, disable, or permanently bar your use and access to our Services, if we believe, at our sole discretion, that you have engaged, or may engage, in any of the prohibited activities in this Agreement, or are otherwise in violation of this Agreement, or for any other reason. FunRaisen will have no liability to you or third parties for any use of the Services associated with your account or Campaign. Upon termination, User must cease all use of the Services. All representations and warranties shall survive termination.
9. Fees and Taxes
There are no fees for creating an account on the Website. Administrators are charged a Service Fee as a portion of the Contributions raised for their Organization. The Service Fees are effective on the date that the Service Fees are posted and can be found at www.funraisen.com/pricing. In some cases, Services Fees will be altered or negotiated for the Organization. In this case, the newly negotiated Services Fees will apply on a one-time basis to the Organization.
Taxing authorities may classify Contributions as taxable income to the Administrator or Organization and any beneficiary who will receive funds directly from the applicable Campaign. FunRaisen may ask for the tax identification number or employer identification number (TIN/EIN) of Administrators/Organizations and any beneficiaries so that we may report taxable income to the relevant taxing authorities. FunRaisen may provide Administrators or Organizations with a tax document if required by the relevant taxing authorities. FunRaisen is unable to provide any User or third party with tax advice and suggests that all Users or third parties consult with a tax professional of their choice.

(“Stripe”) and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Services (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). As a User, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of FunRaisen enabling credit card payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide FunRaisen accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize FunRaisen to share any such information with Stripe, as well as transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.
FunRaisen is not affiliated with Stripe. Accordingly, FunRaisen expressly disclaims responsibility and liability for all services provided by Stripe, including those related to all donation and payment transactions, and you hereby agree that FunRaisen shall not be responsible for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as a result of your use of such service.
By default, disbursement to any Organization or representative of an Organization will be made via check. Within 28 business days from the end date of the Campaign, a check will be issued and sent to the Beneficiary at the mailing address provided or delivered to a FunRaisen representative. FunRaisen’s applicable Service Fees will be deducted from the amount delivered to the Beneficiary.

Aby agreeing to these terms, you are waiving your right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action or representative proceeding; FunRaisen is also waiving these rights.

You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.
This “Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver” section shall survive any termination of your account, these Terms, and the Services.
