PLEASE READ THIS TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT (THE “TERMS OF USE”) CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING THIS WEBSITE OR ANY OTHER WEBSITES OF ONE DONATION INC, ITS AFFILIATES OR AGENTS (“ONE DONATION” OR “WE”) WITH LINKS TO THIS TERMS OF USE (COLLECTIVELY, THE “WEBSITE”) IN ANY WAY, INCLUDING USING THE SERVICES AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE OR ENABLED VIA THE WEBSITE (EACH A “SERVICE” AND COLLECTIVELY, THE “SERVICES”) BY ONE DONATION OR USERS OF THE SITE (“USERS”), CLICKING ON THE “I ACCEPT” BUTTON, COMPLETING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS, AND/OR MERELY BROWSING THE WEBSITE YOU REPRESENT THAT (1) YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF USE, (2) YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO FORM A BINDING CONTRACT WITH ONE DONATION, AND (3) YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THE TERMS OF USE PERSONALLY OR ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY YOU HAVE NAMED AS THE CUSTOMER, AND TO BIND THAT COMPANY TO THE TERMS OF USE.  THE TERM “YOU” REFERS TO THE LEGAL ENTITY IDENTIFIED AS THE CUSTOMER WHEN YOU REGISTERED ON THE WEBSITE AND YOU INDIVIDUALLY AND PERSONALLY AGREE TO COMPLY WITH ALL TERMS APPLICABLE TO SUCH ENTITY.  IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF USE, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THIS WEBSITE, THE APPLICATION OR THE SERVICES.

 

We may link to or present additional terms for certain of our Services. If you use those Services, you agree to follow and abide by our “Supplemental Terms” for such Services (and those Supplemental Terms will be part of the “Terms”). Those Supplemental Terms will control if there is any conflict between the Supplemental Terms and Terms of Use.

 

To use the Website and Services, you must be (and represent that you are) of legal age to form a binding contract and you must have the authority to enter into these Terms of Use on behalf of yourself, or on behalf of the company you represent (“you”). Respect our wishes and stay away if you do cannot agree to that, or any other term herein.

 

We know that your privacy is important, so we created a privacy policy that describes our collection, use and disclosure practices regarding any personal information that you provide to us. While there is no such thing as “perfect security” on the Internet, we will take reasonable steps to help ensure the safety of your personal information. However, you understand and agree that such steps do not guarantee that the Website is invulnerable to all security breaches or immune from viruses, security threats or other vulnerabilities. We reserve the right to cooperate with local, state, provincial and national authorities in investigations of improper or unlawful activities and this may require the disclosure of your personal information.

 

 

We may at our sole discretion change, add, or delete portions of these Terms at any time on a going-forward basis. It is your responsibility to check these Terms for changes prior to use of the Website, and in any event your continued use of the Website or Services following the posting of changes to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of any changes. We will notify you of any such material changes by posting notice of the changes on the Website, and/or, in our sole discretion, by email.

 

  1. How It Works. Our Services include a giving system to accept and process donations from you (“Donations”) and to then re-grant donations to charities and other qualifying tax-exempt organizations in the ONE DONATION database (the “Charities”). We also have an agreement with ONE DONATION Inc.,a North Carolina non-profit corporation seeking 501(c)(3) status for the purpose of transmitting Donations to the Charities. You first make a Donation to the Foundation, and then you may make regrant recommendations for portions of that Donation to one or more Charities (each, a “Recommendation”), at which point the Foundation will, subject to Section 1.3, remit certain amounts to a Charity (“Regrant”).   ONE DONATION charges a flat administrative fee of fifty cents ($0.50) per donation that is deducted from the donation amount.

 

 

1.1           Our Role. ONE DONATION merely provides a platform for Donations to Charities. The Website contains pages featuring Charities to receive regrants of Donations, but the existence of these pages on the Website or Services does not and is not intended to constitute a solicitation of donations in any way.  ONE DONATION charges a flat administrative fee of fifty cents ($0.50) per donation that is deducted from the donation amount.

 

1.2           Donations. Donations made through the Services are complete and final charitable gifts to the Foundation and are not refundable. The Foundation is a tax-exempt public charity described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

1.3           Regrants. The amount of any Regrant will be based on your Recommendation, less applicable payment processing fees payable to ONE DONATION per this Terms of Use Agreement. ONE DONATION reserves the right to establish minimum amounts and other restrictions for any Regrant. In addition, the Foundation may pool your Regrant with Regrants from other Users, but will generally make a Regrant to the recommended Charity within 30 days following receipt of your Recommendation. The Foundation makes every reasonable effort to respect the wishes of its donors. However, to comply with federal tax laws and Internal Revenue Service regulations, the Foundation must retain the exclusive authority, discretion, and legal control over all Donations. In the rare event that the Charity you have advised does not satisfy the Foundation’s criteria or otherwise does not enable or accept payment (e.g., poor standing, lost IRS charity designation, suspicion of illegal activities), the Foundation may select an alternate Charity to receive your Donation, provided that we will attempt to notify you and work with you to identify that alternative Charity prior to making such alternate regrant. In addition, please contact us at  HELP@PASSTHEPLATE.ORG if you would like to donate to a charity not on our list of Charities. If you make a Donation but do not provide a Recommendation within two (2) years for any portion of the Donation, we will endeavor to contact you at the last email address you have on file; if we are unable to contact you or if you still do not provide a Recommendation, we may select an alternate Charity.

 

1.4           Charities’ Usage. The Services may offer a donor the ability to indicate preferences for specific use of the funds by a Charity in a Recommendation. If you express such a preference, it will be noted in the communication to the Charity accompanying the Regrant, but it does not and cannot guarantee that funds will be used in a manner consistent with any such preference, and neither ONE DONATION nor the Foundation are responsible for or will be held liable for the ultimate handling of such preferences. You hereby acknowledge that any designation of a Donation’s use is merely an expression of preference and does not give rise to any contractual obligations. ONE DONATION reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove edit a donor’s indicated preference for use of the funds before it is provided to the designated charity, for example, if ONE DONATION deems it inappropriate, offensive or misrepresentative.  In addition, federal law prohibits Charities from promising or providing goods and services in exchange for making a donation to the Foundation. Users and Charities may create specific events benefiting Charities through the Service and/or by contacting ONE DONATION at HELP@PASSTHEPLATE.ORG

 

1.5           Foundation Financial Information. The Foundation files the annual Form 990 with the Internal Revenue Service and has its financial statements audited annually by an independent certified public accountant. The IRS Form 990 and audited financial statement will be available through the IRS or upon request by emailing HELP@PASSTHEPLATE.ORG

Use of the Services and ONE DONATION Properties.  The Application, the Software, the Website, the Services, and the information and content available on the Website and in the Services (as these terms are defined below) (collectively, the “ONE DONATION Properties”) are protected by copyright laws throughout the world.  Subject to the Terms, ONE DONATION grants you a limited license to reproduce portions of the ONE DONATION Properties for the sole purpose of using the Services for your personal or internal business purposes. Unless otherwise specified by ONE DONATION in a separate license, your right to use any ONE DONATION Properties is subject to the Terms.

 

2.1           Application License.  Subject to your compliance with the Terms, in the event ONE DONATION offers a mobile application, ONE DONATION grants you a limited non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install and use a copy of the Application on a single mobile device or computer that you own or control and to run such copy of the Application solely for your own personal or internal business purposes.  Furthermore, with respect to any Application accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store (an “App Store Sourced Application”), you will only use the App Store Sourced Application (i) on an Apple-branded product that runs the iOS (Apple’s proprietary operating system) and (ii) as permitted by the “Usage Rules” set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service. Without limiting the foregoing, the following applies to any App Store Sourced Application:

 

(a)           You acknowledge and agree that (i) the Terms are concluded between you and ONE DONATION only, and not Apple, and (ii) ONE DONATION, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App Store Sourced Application and content thereof.

As between ONE DONATION and Apple, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of ONE DONATION.

 

(d)           You and ONE DONATION acknowledge that, as between ONE DONATION and Apple, Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of the App Store Sourced Application, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App Store Sourced Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.

 

(e)           You and ONE DONATION acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of that App Store Sourced Application infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, as between ONE DONATION and Apple, ONE DONATION, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by the Terms.

 

(f)            You and ONE DONATION acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of the Terms as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce the Terms as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

 

(g)           Without limiting any other terms of the Terms, you must comply with all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App Store Sourced Application.

If the Software is a pre-release version, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary included within an accompanying license agreement, you are not permitted to use or otherwise rely on the Software for any commercial or production purposes.  If no license agreement accompanies use of the Software, use of the Software will be governed by the Terms.  Subject to your compliance with the Terms, ONE DONATION grants you a non-assignable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable non-exclusive license to use the Software for the sole purpose of enabling you to use the Services in the manner permitted by the Terms.  Some Software may be offered under an open source license that we will make available to you. There may be provisions in the open source license that expressly override some of these terms.

 

2.3           Updates.  You understand that the ONE DONATION Properties are evolving.  As a result, ONE DONATION may require you to accept updates to the ONE DONATION Properties that you have installed on your computer or mobile device.  You acknowledge and agree that ONE DONATION may update the ONE DONATION Properties with or without notifying you.  You may need to update third-party software from time to time in order to use the ONE DONATION Properties.

3.2           Access Through a SNS.   If you access the Services through a SNS as part of the functionality of the Website and the Services or otherwise connect your Third-Party Account to our Services, you may link your Account with Third-Party Accounts, by allowing ONE DONATION to access your Third-Party Account, as is permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third-Party Account.   You represent that you are entitled to grant ONE DONATION access to your Third-Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein) without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third-Party Account and without obligating ONE DONATION to pay any fees or making ONE DONATION subject to any usage limitations imposed by such third-party service providers.  By granting ONE DONATION access to any Third-Party Accounts, you understand that ONE DONATION may access, make available and store (if applicable) any information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, tags and/or other materials accessible through the ONE DONATION Properties (“Content”) that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account (“SNS Content”) so that it is available on and through the ONE DONATION Properties via your Account.  Unless otherwise specified in the Terms, all SNS Content shall be considered to be Your Content (as defined in Section 4.1) for all purposes of the Terms.  Depending on the Third-Party Accounts you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third-Party Accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your Third-Party Accounts may be available on and through your Account on the ONE DONATION Properties. Please note that if a Third-Party Account or associated service becomes unavailable or ONE DONATION’s access to such Third-Party Account is terminated by the third-party service provider, then SNS Content will no longer be available on and through the ONE DONATION Properties.  PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND ONE DONATION DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION THAT MAY BE PROVIDED TO IT BY SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS IN VIOLATION OF THE PRIVACY SETTINGS THAT YOU HAVE SET IN SUCH THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS.  ONE DONATION makes no effort to review any SNS Content for any purpose, including but not limited to, for accuracy, legality or noninfringement, and ONE DONATION is not responsible for any SNS Content.

 

3.3           Registration Data.  In registering for the Services, you agree to (1) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Services’ registration form (the “Registration Data”); and (2) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.  You represent that you are (1) at least thirteen (13) years old; (2) of legal age to form a binding contract; and (3) not a person barred from using the ONE DONATION Properties under the laws of the United States, your place of residence or any other applicable jurisdiction.  You are responsible for all activities that occur under your Account.   You agree that you shall monitor your Account to restrict use by minors, and you will accept full responsibility for any unauthorized use of the ONE DONATION Properties by minors.  You may not share your Account or password with anyone, and you agree to (1) notify ONE DONATION immediately of any unauthorized use of your password or any other breach of security; and (2) exit from your Account at the end of each session.  If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or ONE DONATION has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, ONE DONATION has the right to suspend or terminate your Account and refuse any and all current or future use of the ONE DONATION Properties (or any portion thereof).  You agree not to create an Account using a false identity or information, or on behalf of someone other than yourself.  You agree that you shall not have more than one Account per platform or SNS at any given time.  ONE DONATION reserves the right to remove or reclaim any usernames at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to, claims by a third party that a username violates the third party’s rights.  You agree not to create an Account or use the ONE DONATION Properties if you have been previously removed by ONE DONATION, or if you have been previously banned from any of the ONE DONATION Properties.

  1. Responsibility for Content.

 

4.1           Types of Content.  You acknowledge that all Content, including the ONE DONATION Properties, is the sole responsibility of the party from whom such Content originated.  This means that you, and not ONE DONATION, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, e-mail, transmit or otherwise make available (“Make Available”) through the ONE DONATION Properties (“Your Content”), and other Users of the ONE DONATION Properties, and not ONE DONATION, are similarly responsible for all Content they Make Available through the ONE DONATION Properties (“User Content”).

 

4.2           No Obligation to Pre-Screen Content.  You acknowledge that ONE DONATION has no obligation to pre-screen Content (including, but not limited to, Your Content and User Content), although ONE DONATION reserves the right in its sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse or remove any Content.  By entering into the Terms, you hereby provide your irrevocable consent to such monitoring.  You acknowledge and agree that you have no expectation of privacy concerning the transmission of Your Content, including without limitation chat, text, or voice communications.  In the event that ONE DONATION pre-screens, refuses or removes any Content, you acknowledge that ONE DONATION will do so for ONE DONATION’s benefit, not yours.  Without limiting the foregoing, ONE DONATION shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the Terms or is otherwise objectionable.

 

4.3           Storage.  Unless expressly agreed to by ONE DONATION in writing elsewhere, ONE DONATION has no obligation to store any of Your Content that you Make Available on the ONE DONATION Properties.  ONE DONATION has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or accuracy of any Content, including Your Content; the failure to store, transmit or receive transmission of Content; or the security, privacy, storage, or transmission of other communications originating with or involving use of the ONE DONATION Properties.  Certain Services may enable you to specify the level at which such Services restrict access to Your Content.  You are solely responsible for applying the appropriate level of access to Your Content.  If you do not choose, the system may default to its most permissive setting.  You agree that ONE DONATION retains the right to create reasonable limits on ONE DONATION’s use and storage of the Content, including Your Content, such as limits on file size, storage space, processing capacity, and similar limits described in the web pages accompanying the Services and as otherwise determined by ONE DONATION in its sole discretion.

5.6           Username. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, by submitting Your Content to any forums, comments or any other area on the ONE DONATION Properties, you hereby expressly permit ONE DONATION to identify you by your username (which may be a pseudonym) as the contributor of Your Content in any publication in any form, media or technology now known or later developed in connection with Your Content.
