3. DONATIONS

3.1) As a Donor, it is incumbent upon you to make the final determination about the value and appropriateness of contributing to any Campaign, or Campaign Organizer.

3.2) All Donations you make are at your own risk. When donating to a Campaign or otherwise through the Service, it is your responsibility – and yours alone - to understand how your money will be used. YouHelp is not responsible for any offers, promises, rewards, or promotions made or offered by Campaigns or Campaign Organizers. We do not and cannot verify the information that Campaign Organizers supply, nor do we guarantee that any Donations will be used in accordance with any fundraising purpose prescribed by a Campaign or Campaign Organizer.

3.3) YouHelp assumes no responsibility to verify whether the Donations are used in accordance with any applicable laws; such responsibility rests solely with the Campaign Organizer. Although we do not have any obligation to verify that the use of any funds raised would be in accordance with applicable law and these Terms and Conditions, we do take possible fraudulent activity and the misuse of funds raised very seriously. In response to any complaints received, YouHelp will either investigate the complaint or immediately take a Campaign down, depending upon the severity of the complaint.

3.4) You can learn more about our Fraud Policy at http://www.youhelp.com/how-it-works. If you believe, for any reason, that a Campaign Organizer is not using the funds raised for their stated purpose, please go to https://www.youhelp.com/contact-us and alert us of this potential issue so that we can investigate. If you are a donor, you may also be covered by the YouHelp Guarantee. Policy details are located at https://www.youhelp.com/guarantee.

3.5) Additionally, with respect to all Donations you make or accept through the Service, you agree:

• Not to make or accept any donations that you know or suspect to be erroneous, suspicious, or fraudulent;

• Not to use the Service 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);

• Maintain reasonable and standard security measures to protect any information transmitted and received through the Service, including without limitation by adhering to any security procedures and controls required by YouHelp from time to time;

• Maintain a copy of all electronic and other records related to Campaigns and Donations as necessary for YouHelp to verify compliance with these Terms and Conditions and make such records available to YouHelp 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

• At YouHelp’s request, including without limitation in case of investigations by YouHelp, a payment processing partner, or regulatory or governmental authority, fully cooperate in the auditing of such records, investigation of the relevant circumstances, and remedy of any uncovered violation or wrongdoing.

3.6) YouHelp reserves the right to refuse, condition, or suspend any Donations or other transactions that we believe in our sole discretion may violate the Terms and Conditions or harm the interests of our users, business partners, the public, or YouHelp, or that expose you, YouHelp, or others to risks deemed unacceptable to us. We may share any information related to your use of the Service 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 Service.

3.7) To contribute to a Campaign, a Donor will be required to provide YouHelp information regarding a credit card or other payment instrument (“Payment Method”) that is linked to the Donor’s account on the Service (a “Billing Account”). All payment information is sent in encryption form and is not saved to the YouHelp site. You, as a Donor, represent and warrant to YouHelp that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the applicable Payment Method. 

3.8) YouHelp uses third-party payment processing partners to bill you through your Payment Method and Billing Account for any Donations made, and Donors acknowledge that by contributing a Donation to a Campaign, the Donor is agreeing to any and all applicable terms set forth by our payment partners (currently, Stripe, WePay, Inc., WePay LLC, PayPal, Inc., and PayPal Giving Fund), in addition to these Terms and Conditions, including WePay’s Terms and Conditions, PayPal’s Terms and Conditions, and PayPal Giving Fund’s Terms and Conditions.

3.9) YouHelp charges a mandatory 5% (or more) tip which maintains YouHelp as a free fundraising space for nonprofits. YouHelp cannot accept a tip greater than 20% of your donation. The tip is used for operational costs to provide the platform.

 

4. PAYMENT & SUBSCRIPTION TERMS

YouHelp is a free fundraising platform for USA-based registered nonprofits. YouHelp offers an optional 'Learn Nonprofit Marketing Module' available after a User's campaign goes live. Fees are laid out on the pricing page. 

AUTO-RENEW SUBSCRIPTION: As part of YouHelp’s commitment to our subscribers, we have an Automatic Renewal subscription program as a quick, convenient way for subscribers to pay their subscription bill without interruption of fundraising campaigns. By agreeing to Terms and Conditions, you authorize YouHelp.com to charge your debit/credit card at the expiration of the term of your subscription for the exact amount, until such time that you cancel your subscription. You may opt-out of the Auto Renew payment service at any time on your My Account page or by emailing support@youhelp.com

TRANSACTION FEES: The fees owed with respect to the rights and licenses granted hereunder shall be no more than 4 percent (%4.000) per unique credit card donation. YouHelp's transaction fees shall be immediately deducted, if possible. These fees do not include Stripe, WePay, or PayPal's processing fees, which will also be deducted immediately at the time of the transaction processing.

TAXES: The fees charged do not include any foreign, federal, state, or local sales, use, or other similar taxes. It is your sole responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to any Donations you may receive through your use of the Service. Likewise, it is solely your responsibility to assess, collect, report, or remit the correct tax, if any, to the appropriate tax authority.

BILLING DATE: Subscription fees are billed in advance and automatically renewed on a weekly, quarterly, monthly, or annual basis, as specified by the subscription option chosen by the user. Subscriptions are billed on the day the subscription starts and will reoccur on the same day of the month until canceled. 

WITHDRAWING DONATIONS FROM A CAMPAIGN: You, as a Campaign Organizer, are responsible sooner than 14 days of connecting to the Processor to provide all required information on the Payment Processor’s website and reply to ALL emails from the payment processor, ensuring that the information you provide to the Processor in order to process a Withdrawal, including your bank account information, is accurate and up to date. The Processor may, at any time, for any reason, and in its sole discretion, offer or issue a refund of donation(s) with or without consulting with you, which may comprise the entire amount donated to your campaign. YouHelp is not responsible for any consequences caused by the Processor issuing refunds, including, but not limited to transaction or overdraft fees. You also acknowledge that YouHelp is not liable to compensate you in any way for any loss, and you hereby indemnify and hold harmless YouHelp.

As a Campaign Organizer (or, as applicable, the beneficiary designated by the Campaign), you may withdraw Donations to your Campaign at any time up to the full amount of all Donations credited to your Campaign, less any previously withdrawn amounts ("Withdrawals") and subject to any Holds that we or our payment partners may place on your Campaign account. A Campaign Organizer may withdraw Donations by electronic wire transfer to your bank account or, in certain cases, by receipt of a paper check. Although YouHelp strives to make Withdrawals available to you promptly, you acknowledge and agree that Withdrawals may not be available to you for use immediately, and YouHelp does not guarantee that Withdrawals will be available to you within any specific time frame, and YouHelp expressly disclaims any and all responsibility for any delay or inability to access and use Withdrawals at any specified time, and any consequences arising from such delay or inability.

UPGRADE/CADENCE CHARGES: If a subscription is upgraded to a higher subscription, the account’s payment method on file will be immediately billed for the higher subscription, and the existing time from will rollover. We are unable to prorate the amount differences for subscription upgrades.

REFUNDS: Any platform fees incurred on a per-donation basis are not refundable. YouHelp.com is a pay-as-you-go service. Therefore, we do not issue refunds, even if you cancel immediately after your credit card is charged for the new billing period. Quarterly and Annual subscriptions are eligible for a partial refund within the first month. The refund will be in the amount of the subscription rate minus $90 per month for any month or partial months. If the account was eligible for a refund, the account will retain the subscription benefits until the current monthly period has ended. If the account was not eligible for a refund, the account will retain the subscription benefits until the current annual period has ended. No future charges will then be applied to your credit card. weekly or monthly payment cycles are not eligible for prorated refunds. Turn off your auto-renew or email support@youhelp.com and you will not be billed again.

DISCOUNTS: YouHelp’s subscription fees are subject to change at any time, and previous discounts are not eligible to carry over to plan renewal.

PAYMENT CARD INDUSTRY DATA SECURITY STANDARD: As a service provider, YouHelp 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. YouHelp follows PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a widely accepted set of policies and procedures intended to optimize the security of credit, debit, and cash card transactions and protect cardholders against misuse of their personal information. YouHelp has invested in an SSL Certificate to keep the Platform and online transactions secure with strong encryption, protecting any sensitive data the Platform may be collecting. They have become a standard for safety when it comes to trust and reputation in online security. We have purchased SSL Certificates from GlobalSign®, one of the most respected names in the industry.  

ACCOUNT HOLDS: From time to time, the Processor or YouHelp may notify the Processor to place a hold on a Campaign account (a "Hold"), restricting Withdrawals (defined herein) by a Campaign Organizer. Some of the reasons that we may place a Hold on a Campaign Account include the following: (i) if we have reason to believe (at our sole discretion) that information provided by a Campaign Organizer is false, misleading, or fraudulent, or that funds are being used in a prohibited manner, (ii) if the funds available should be provided directly to a person other than the Campaign Organizer (such as a legal beneficiary or person entitled by law to act on behalf of a Campaign Organizer), (iii) if we have reason to believe that a Campaign or Campaign Organizer has violated these Terms and Conditions, or (iv) if the Processor or YouHelp determines that the Campaign Organizer is colluding with donors to engage in fraudulent activity or (v) if required in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, writ, injunction, or as otherwise required under applicable laws and regulations. If you have questions about a Hold we may have placed on your Campaign account, or need information about how to resolve the Hold, please contact us at support@youhelp.com

We treat all customers equally, so we do not make exceptions to this policy.
