We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and at any time, to amend, modify or replace any part of the Agreement. Accordingly, it is your responsibility to check the Agreement periodically for changes. Your continued use of or access to the Sites and Services following the posting of any changes to the Agreement constitutes acceptance of those changes.

The Agreement is a legally binding agreement between you and us, so please read the Agreement carefully before accessing or using the Sites or Services. By accessing or using any part of the Sites or Services, you agree to become bound by the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

LIMITED LICENSE

Acceptance of these Terms grants you a license to use the Sites or Services as a Company (to provide items or cash to other users) or a Nonprofit. However, such license shall automatically terminate if you violate any conditions and may be terminated by DonationMatch, Inc. at any time. Upon terminating your viewing of these materials or termination of this license, you must destroy any files or materials downloaded from the Sites or Services in your possession, whether in electronic or printed format, unless required for substantiation of past donations. This includes electronically delivered or downloadable gift certificates, which may be subject to cancelation. 

Your use license grants you the following privileges and holds you to the following conditions:

a) Be Respectful: You must refrain from using foul, hateful, or disrespectful language in any listing or posting at any time. DonationMatch reserves the right to refuse site access to Companies or Nonprofits involved in hate or violent speech or actions.

b) Email Notices: You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information as necessary for DonationMatch to communicate with you from time to time regarding services, issue invoices, accept payment, or other account-related purposes. Therefore, you agree to update any online account information and inform us of any other changes in your entity’s legal name, business status, exempt status, address, email address, and phone number. You agree to accept emails from DonationMatch at the e-mail address specified on your account. DonationMatch may provide any notices, statements, and other communications to you through either e-mail, posting on your account login home page, and/or by mail or express delivery service.

c) Security: It is your responsibility to secure your account from unauthorized access. DonationMatch and users of the Sites or Services may act upon information and instructions provided to DonationMatch from the above-specified e-mail address and any accounts linked to the same e-mail address.

d) Accuracy of Information: 

Company: You ensure that all information posted on the Sites is complete and accurately reflects your company profile and available donations and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the Company for the activities you do in our system. DonationMatch reserves the right to correct typographical errors, deactivate questionable content, and/or request an edit or clarification of your Company profile, items listed, programs listed, or any other provided information.

Nonprofit: You ensure that all information posted on the Sites is complete and accurately reflects your Nonprofit and its event information and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the Nonprofit for the activities you do in our system. This pertains to location, date, beneficiary organization, and other data requested and entered. DonationMatch reserves the right to correct typographical errors, correct errors due to discrepancies with IRS or Revenue Canada records, deactivate content suspected to be inaccurate, and/or request an edit or clarification of your Nonprofit profile, role, event information, program information, or any other provided information.

e) Nonprofit Exempt Status (Determined by IRS for U.S.-based Nonprofits, Canada Revenue Agency for Canada-based Nonprofits): It is your responsibility to maintain your organization's exempt organization status to be a Nonprofit User of the Sites or Services and receive services and donations from DonationMatch Member Businesses and Brands. It is your responsibility to notify DonationMatch if your organization loses such exempt status or if you are no longer an authorized representative of the organization. DonationMatch reserves the right to suspend, transfer, or remove without notice Nonprofit accounts which we suspect have lost this exempt status, for which we can no longer verify this status, or for which we cannot verify the registered user's authority to represent the Nonprofit. Inability to verify the right to represent the Nonprofit includes being notified by another verifiable representative of the Nonprofit that representation on our site has been declined or replaced.

f) Non-Discrimination: Events must be open to anyone regardless of Race, National Origin, Religion, Gender, Sexual Orientation, and Protected Class status. Events that are only open to members of an organization must be clearly indicated. These events must also include a link that clearly explains the requirements to join the organization. DonationMatch reserves the right to deny the use of the Sites or Services to organizations that restrict membership on the basis of Race, National Origin, Religion, Gender, Sexual Orientation, or Protected Class status.

g) Donations:

Company Donations and Listings: Unless clearly stated in the description, all item listings must be 100% donations and available free of charge to the recipient organization. Postage, shipping, delivery, transit, consignment fees, or other costs may be collected as a condition of fulfillment only if such terms are stated clearly in the description and/or special instructions prior to the organization accepting or requesting the item. Donations must have any and all terms and conditions listed in the description at the time of the initial offer or request. Any donation listings that contain terms or conditions that DonationMatch feels are unreasonable or not in the spirit of a "donation" may be removed. No items related to hateful or violent speech or that encourage hateful or violent actions may be listed. No illegal products or services may be listed. Items of an adult nature must be listed in a tasteful manner. Links or images of pornography are prohibited.

Nonprofit Use of Donations: You understand that requesting donations or accepting offers is a contract for your receipt and use of items in the manner as agreed upon with provider Businesses and Brands. Items received through the Sites or Services must be used for specified programs or event usage—by auction, raffle, opportunity drawing, gift bags, and/or fundraising purposes with exposure to all attendees—as communicated through the Sites or Services and agreed upon with Businesses and Brands. Terms and conditions or Special Instructions, if any, provided by Businesses and Brands concerning their items must be met if the donation is accepted. Donations accepted through the Sites or Services CANNOT be given to volunteers or staff members (unless this is a stated and approved use made known to donors prior to their approving a donation), sold in person (except with permission during specified events), sold on websites (except in online fundraising auctions if specified in your event description and/or event type), or sold in retail stores or flea markets or any other manner. Donations cannot be transferred to other nonprofit organizations or groups without advance written permissions from the provider Business or Brand.

h) Non-Duplication of Event Listings: An event can be listed on the Sites only once. Creating multiple accounts and/or event listings for the same event, whether intentional or accidental, may result in the cancellation of your account, cancellation of donations, and/or deletion of event and/or account data, including confirmed and pending transactions, without notice or refunds. Provider Businesses and Brands may also be notified of these actions and reasons.

i) Nonprofit Record Keeping: Nonprofit Members agree to maintain adequate books and records of these donations and their distribution and agree to make these records available upon request to DonationMatch, Businesses, and Brands for Terms of Use compliance, bookkeeping purposes, and verification purposes as required by law, including to substantiate tax-deductible donations from provider Businesses and Brands for audit purposes.

j) Nonprofit Non-Compete Agreement: The primary business of DonationMatch is coordinating efforts to donate non-cash (in-kind) items or money for charitable events and program uses. The continuation of DonationMatch's services depends upon recipient organizations refraining from soliciting donations directly from DonationMatch Member Businesses and Brands outside of the DonationMatch system after becoming approved Nonprofit Members. (Donor Businesses and Brands with whom you have had donation exchanges prior to joining DonationMatch are excepted.) You agree that willful solicitation of participating DonationMatch Member Businesses and Brands without DonationMatch's written approval is an improper act to circumvent DonationMatch's services performed on behalf of all Nonprofits and violates the DonationMatch relationship formed in this agreement. Improper acts may result in the cancellation of your account and deletion of all account data, including confirmed and pending transactions, without notice. Provider Businesses and Brands may also be notified of the action and reason.

k) Company’s Ability to fulfill: You must be able to fulfill or prove the ability to fulfill the full terms of your listings for quantities offered or listed as available through the Sites.

l) Company Standards: DonationMatch uses third-party ratings, resources, and data to evaluate Companies who are allowed access to our services and reserve the right to suspend or delete accounts that do not meet our minimum standards or for which we cannot find reliable data publicly available.

m) Links: You may link to any information on the Sites that does not require a login to view.

You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction in connection with such Third-Party Links & Ads.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY

We have not made any representations, warranties, statements, or promises in the Agreement, and you have not relied upon any such representation, warranty, statement, or promise in accessing or using the Sites or the Services. The Sites and the Services are provided “as-is,” and we shall have no liability for any errors or omissions therein or any other aspects thereof.

ARBITRATION & OTHER PROVISIONS 

The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and us concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Agreement may only be modified by a written amendment signed by an authorized executive of us or by the posting of a revised version by us to the Sites and Services. Except to the extent applicable law provides otherwise, the Agreement and any access to or use of the Sites or the Services shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of laws and rules thereof. All disputes of any nature related to the Agreement shall be determined by final and binding arbitration in the State of Delaware before a single arbitrator. The parties shall agree on the rules and procedures to be followed in the arbitration. Judgment on the arbitral award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The foregoing arbitration provisions shall not preclude either party from seeking an injunction or other provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall, in the arbitral award, allocate all or part of the costs of the arbitration, including the fees of the arbitrator and reasonable attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party, for payment by the non-prevailing party, and shall determine the prevailing party for this purpose. The parties further agree that (i) any claims brought by either party must be brought in such party’s individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and (ii) the arbitrator may not (x) consolidate more than one person’s claims, (y) otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding or (z) award class-wide relief. A waiver by any party of any term or condition of the Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof. You may assign your rights under the Agreement to any party that consents to and agrees to be bound by the Agreement; we may assign our rights under the Agreement without condition. The Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.
