Services Description: The Services are offered as a platform (the "Platform") to users of the Services, which may include Campaign Organizers (interchangeably used with "Champions"), Beneficiaries, Recipients and Donors (each defined herein) and other users of the Services (which may include users who interact with the Site or Services). Among other features, the Services are designed to allow a user (a "Campaign Organizer") to post a fundraising campaign ("Campaign") to the Platform to accept monetary donations ("Donations") from those users wishing to contribute funds to the Campaign ("Donors"). A Campaign Organizer may be both, a Beneficiary and a Recipient, for any Campaign.
A “Beneficiary” includes an individual, a group of individuals, or any entity that benefits from Donations through a Campaign, and a Recipient. A “Recipient” includes an individual or entity that is authorised by the Beneficiary through written means to receive Donations on behalf of the Beneficiary. Although there are no fees to set up a Campaign, a percentage of each Donation will be charged as operational fees for our Services and those of our third party payment processors. Please see our Pricing section for details.
