THE DONATION
If you are a User and want to make a donation using this Website, you will be obliged to choose a campaign on the Website where the money raised by you will be transferred to. If you decide to transfer the money raised to other’s person in need campaign or Fundraiser’s campaign you will be classified, in the Website’s understanding, as a Donor and the money transferred by you will be classified as a donation. You can also nominate your own campaign as a recipient of the money raised by you, only if you have created your own campaign and it is still active on the Website according to Terms of Website Use. In this option you will not be classified, in the Website’s understanding, as a Donor and the money transferred by you will not be classified as a donation. Very rarely it could happen that the Charity or the Charity’s beneficiary or other Person in Need or Fundraiser who created the specific campaign does not pass identity verification or other necessary check, or because of some other reason we can’t transfer them the funds raised. If this happens to a specific campaign you have donated the funds to, we’ll email you to let you know that your funds donation will be sent to another Charity which is located nearest to you and for which a campaign is active at that point in time.
Please be aware that the campaign you have declared to support is only the campaign suggested by you. The funds donated by you will be transferred to your user’s account on the Website and only then will be passed on in full to a campaign of your choice.
USE OF YOUR DONATION
The Company does not guarantee that the funds donations transferred to other Those in need or a Fundraiser will be used for the particular purpose of the Campaign and the Company shall not be responsible for any dissatisfaction or potential claim you may have relating to the Charity, the Charity’s Beneficiary, other Person in Need or Fundraiser as the recipient of the funds donation. The Company makes no representation regarding the way in which the Charity, the Charity’s Beneficiary, other Person in Need or Fundraiser will use your funds donation. The Website is only the place of your monetisation of textiles request submission and your funds raised transfer. Once the funds donations are transferred, all further dealings are directly between the Donor and Those in Need who were donated the funds for those specific goals.
The Company will do its very best to verify the identity of a campaign’s creator and undertake any other necessary checks before any funds raised are transferred to the Charity, the Charity’s beneficiary, other Person in Need or Fundraiser. The Company shall have no liability to Donors whatsoever for any use or misuse of the funds donations made to Those in Need. It is the Donor’s responsibility, as a user of the Website, to ensure that the campaign’s goal he supports is the only one that other Those in Need will use the funds for.
THE CAMPAIGN
If you are a Charity, a Charity’s beneficiary, other Person in Need or Fundraiser and want to create your own campaign please ensure that any information you provide and share on the Website is accurate and not misleading
If you are a Person in Need or a Fundraiser you may apply for your campaign authorisation to the specific Charity. The Campaign Authorisation is always given by the specific Charity and it will result, in the Website understanding, in you being a beneficiary of the Charity. It may help you to authenticate your personal campaign goal and to gather more funds donations.
The Charity is obliged to exercise control over each and every single campaign it has created or authorised. Accordingly, the Charity is obliged to verify the Campaign’s content, particularly the description, images, videos, the Campaign’s goal etc. so the Donor will be sure that everything is completely true and trustworthy. The Company may, at its sole discretion, evaluate your campaign and decide whether or not to host it on its Website.
All funds raised by the Charity either through a Campaign of its own or through an authorised Campaign will be paid to a beneficiary directly by the Charity, on conditions set out in key information of the campaign authorisation.
The Company will do its very best to verify the details of any Campaign, the Charity or its beneficiary or Person in Need or Fundraiser stated and payment of the funds raised will only take place once these verifications have been completed. Please note that if you have already started your own Campaign there will be no option to remove or to amend the most important details of the Campaign: short description, the funds submitted for and the purpose of the Campaign. At the same time you will have the ability to make any amendmentof such elements of your Campaign as: full description, pictures and movies. In the event your Campaign is still active, but you have raised 100% of the funds you submitted for in the moment of creating the Campaign, then you have the right to end the Campaign before its expiration time and get the payment of the funds raised. In the event your Campaign is going to be expired soon but you have not raised 100% of the funds you submitted for in the moment of creating the Campaign, then you have the right to extend the duration time of a Campaign for next 14 days or 30 days – we will inform you about this ability by e-mail 7 days before your scheduled expiration date of your Campaign. In the event you have raised 100% of the funds you submitted for in the moment of creating the Campaign and the Campaign has been expired, then you have no right to extend the duration time of a Campaign.
The specific campaign goal is always listed on our Website, however we cannot accept responsibility for the activities of the campaign creators.
The Company shall remove any abusive, untrue or misleading content and the Company reserves the right to block your User account and to suspend your access or to remove your campaign without notice. Please be also aware that you are the only one who takes the full responsibility for any content of your own campaign and everything you share with other users.
If you are the User you can always add your own comment to yours or other User’s campaign. If you use offensive, obscene or racist content please be aware that you are the only one who takes the full responsibility for this action. In this case the Company reserves the right to block your User account and to suspend its access and remove your comment without any notice.
THE DURATION TIME OF THE CAMPAIGN
The Charity has the option to create its own campaign for its statutory purposes or for its Beneficiaries purposes either for a fixed period of time and for indefinite period of time. At the same time the Charity has unlimited ability to amend the campaign’s duration time in any moment.
The Person in need or the Fundraiser has the option to create its own campaign for fixed period of time only, which duration time is set by the User and is determined on 7 days at least, but no more than 3 months.The period of time will not be changed for an indefinite period, even if a Person in Need or a Fundraiser obtains its own campaign authorisation from the specific Charity.
In the event that the terms of service between the Company and a Charity are terminated, Campaigns with an expiration date ending later than the date of termination shall terminate on the last day of the termination period. If there will be a termination of the agreement between our company and the specific Charity than the Charity can set the expiration time of its new campaigns at the latest on the last day of the agreement’s notice period. Other campaigns’ expiration time, with their expiration time during the agreement’s notice period, will expire on the set date.
If there is a termination of the agreement between our company and the specific Charity and you are a Person in Need or a Fundraiser who wants to get your own campaign authorised by this specific Charity then you can set your campaign expiration time at the latest on the last day of the agreement’s notice period between our company and this specific Charity.
THE PAYMENT OF THE FUNDS RAISED
The Company always transfers to the Charity, Charity Beneficiary or other Person in Need 100% of the funds donation, donated by the Donor. The money received by the Company is always placed into a separate bank account and passed on in full to a campaign nominated by the User, by using the service provided by the Website, according the Terms of Website Use.
All funds raised during a Campaign are paid directly to the Charity or to a Person in Need or to a Fundraiser into a bank account specified by the Charity or a Person in Need or a Fundraiser. The Charity or a Person in Need or a Fundraiser agrees to receive the amount of the funds raised into a bank account specified by the Charity or a Person in need or a Fundraiser and to cover all of the bank fees and transfer fees, which may occur due to the payment of the funds raised. If the amount to be paid is less than £1, the Company reserves the right to withhold the payment of the funds raised. At the same time the Company reserves the right to transfer, once a year, the joint amount of the funds raised in all expired campaigns in the Website, with the funds raised under £1, into the bank account of the Charity selected by itself.
If you are a Person in need or a Fundraiser please remember that your responsibility is to determine which taxes apply to the payment of the funds raised received by you. It is only your responsibility to gather the relevant information regarding to tax matters, which may occur and to comply with the applicable law.
Funds will only be paid to the designated bank account of the Charity or a Person in Need or a Fundraiser. Payments will not be made to any other person or into any other bank account. You are responsible for ensuring that the Company has the correct details otherwise payment could be delayed.
In the event the Charity conducts its own Campaign or its Beneficiary’s Campaign, which was set for an indefinite period of time, then the payment of the funds raised will be made into the designated bank account of the Charity on the 10th day of each month in the month following the month in which the Charity conducted the Campaign. In the event the Charity ends its Campaign or its Beneficiary’s Campaign, which was set for the fixed period of time, then the payment of the funds raised will be made into the designated bank account of the Charity immediately after the Campaign is expired and all the necessary checks are completed.
If you are a Person in Need or a Fundraiser and you end your Campaign, we will make the transfer of the funds raised into the designated bank account of the Person in Need or Fundraiser immediately after the Campaign is expired and all the necessary checks are completed.
The Charity or the Charity’s Beneficiary or a Person in Need or a Fundraiser has the right to end its Campaign before its expiration time, only in the event the Campaign was created for a fixed period of time and 100% of the funds, submitted for at the time of creating the campaign, were raised.
If you are the Charity’s beneficiary, all the funds raised are transferred directly into the specific Charity’s bank account and the Charity shall settle all the funds raised with you according to its own rules.
If you are a Person in Need or a Fundraiser and you have not had your Campaign authorised by a Charity, all the funds raised will be transferred directly into your designated bank account. Prior to making the payment you will be required to sign a statement regarding the payment of funds verifying the information you provided us with at the time of creating your Campaign regarding the purpose of the Campaign. If we don’t receive your statement immediately after your Campaign has expired, the payment will be delayed. In the event we don’t receive your statement at the latest within 12 months from the moment of your Campaign expiration time, the Company reserves the right to transfer the funds raised in your Campaign into the bank account of the Charity selected by itself.

GIFT AID AND TAX
Gift Aid is the additional amount received by the Charity you have donated the funds to in the amount of 25 pence for every £1 of your donation. This additional 25 pence is refunded directly to the Charity from HMRC, when all the requirements regarding a Donor and the Charity are met.
If you are a Donor and want to donate the funds to a specific Charity or the Charity’s Beneficiary using our Website then you will be requested to provide us with your most important personal details (e.g. Title, Forename, Surname, Address, Post Code). You will be required to confirm that you are a UK taxpayer and eligible for Gift Aid and that you require us to provide a specific Charity of your choice with all the necessary information to claim back for Gift Aid under the Gift Aid scheme.
The Charity you decided to donate the funds to and boost your donation by Gift Aid will receive from us the Gift Aid declaration form completed with your personal details and any other necessary information (e.g. Phone number, E-mail address), to enable the Charity to submit its own request to HMRC.
Therefore please be aware that it is your own responsibility to ascertain whether you qualify for Gift Aid. If you have any doubts we strongly recommend you obtain advice from your own adviser or HMRC consultants. For full details of the Gift Aid scheme please check online at https://www.gov.uk/donating-to-charity/gift-aid
Please be aware that the Website also supports persons in need by giving you the possibility to donate the funds to them, but those persons in need may not be eligible for the Gift Aid reclaim scheme and donations may not be tax deductible, no matter their charitable purpose.
If you are a Charity registered with the Charity Commission and have created your own campaign or you gave the campaign’s authorisation to your Beneficiary then it means that you have agreed the Website will provide you with all the necessary information about the Donor to claim back on your own from HMRC for Gift Aid under the Gift Aid scheme.
