JustGiving App Terms of Service

Our terms of service describe what JustGiving does for you and the charities and other good causes you are supporting, and what we kindly request of you as a user in return.

We operate in a number of countries and these core terms of service apply in each. There are some country specific terms which also apply. Please click here for your relevant country specific terms of service in Australia or United Kingdom.

Here are the key points:

  • Online Giving – we run and maintain a website that processes donations on behalf of the charities and other good causes featured on it. For this service, and the support we provide to them and their supporters, charities and other good causes pay us a transaction fee of up to 5% on the donation. Because we promptly pay donations to charities and other good causes, we regret that we can only refund a donation if the charity or other good cause expressly requests it, and they can pay us back. Please get in touch with the charity or other good cause first. For certain causes on the website, we may not process your donation until after a specified fundraising target has been achieved. Where this applies it will be made clear at the time of your donation. Alternatively, for these causes, we may process the donation upfront but if the fundraising target is not achieved you will be able to choose to: give your donation to your chosen project in any event; or transfer your donation to another good cause on the website. For these causes, we regret that no refund will be provided.
  • Your privacy is paramount to us. Our privacy policy shows you how we protect it.
  • If you create a JustGiving fundraising page or use any of our other services, please remember JustGiving is for everyone. We’ll remove offensive, obscene or racist content on the rare occasions when we find it – and we may terminate membership as a result. Please also make sure that the content you upload to the site, especially pictures, is not copyright-protected.

That’s it. If you want the full, extended version, here it is:

 

JustGiving is a trading name of the local JustGiving entity as identified in the country specific terms of service. JustGiving operates www.justgiving.com (the “Website”) and its associated services. These core terms of service (and the relevant country specific terms) (together the “Terms of Service”) govern your use of the Website and its associated services. Please read these Terms of Service carefully. If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms of Service, you should not continue to use or access the Website or its associated services.

 

These Terms of Service may change or be updated from time to time. It remains your responsibility to access and check these Terms of Service wherever you access the Website. The latest version of these Terms of Service will govern any future usage by you of the Website and its associated services.

 

About the charities, good causes and organisations featured on the Website

 

The Website and its associated services allows you to donate to, and raise funds for, any of the causes listed on the Website (“Causes”) which could include charities, certain non-charitable good causes referred to on the Website as JustGiving Projects (“JustGiving Projects”) and other listed organisations. Every Cause featured has a contractual agreement with JustGiving authorising JustGiving to collect donations on its behalf. Causes are listed on this Website at JustGiving’s discretion, however we cannot accept responsibility for the activities of the Causes. A charity must have the appropriate authorisation, permit or licence to operate as a charity, as required by the local laws of the territory in which it operates. You should note that JustGiving Projects are probably not charities therefore you should read the description of them carefully and be happy that they are genuine and suitable to receive your donation. Different charities, JustGiving Projects and other organisations can have similar names: it is your responsibility to check that you are donating to the Cause you intended.

 

Donations

 

Subject to the requirements of applicable local laws, and what we say below in relation to JustGiving Projects, once your donation is made, it will only be refunded to you with the prior written consent of the Cause to whom it has been made, regardless of whether or not the donation had been paid to the Cause by JustGiving. Before a donation is refunded, the relevant Cause must agree that JustGiving may, subject to local applicable laws, deduct the amount to be refunded from subsequent payments to be made by JustGiving to the Cause. Where no further payments are due to be made to such Cause within one (1) week of the refund being made to you, JustGiving reserves the right to invoice the Cause for the amount of the refund and the Cause must agree to settle that invoice within one (1) month of the date of the invoice. In relation to JustGiving Projects, JustGiving may not charge your donation to your payment card account (using the details you provide at the time of donating) until after the fundraising target has been achieved. Alternatively, JustGiving may charge the donation to your card account at the time of donating but if the JustGiving Project fundraising target is not achieved JustGiving will allow you to either: make your donation to the JustGiving Project in any event; or transfer your donation to another Cause on the Website. For donations made to JustGiving Projects no refunds will be provided, subject to applicable local laws. If you do not agree to this you should not use the Website to make donations to JustGiving Projects.

 

Use of your donation

 

JustGiving does not warrant that your donations will be used for any particular purpose and shall not be responsible for any dissatisfaction you may have regarding the recipient Cause’s use of any donation you may make through the Website or its associated services or websites powered by us or for any misuse or non-use of such donations by the recipient Cause. After donations are made, all further dealings are solely between the donor and such recipient organisation.

 

Please note that recipient organisations (excluding JustGiving Projects) reserve the right to use your donation for their general purposes. They will use your donation for any purpose in accordance with their own rules. JustGiving cannot guarantee that funds will be earmarked for a particular appeal. If you want your donation to be used for a specific purpose or for a particular appeal you should contact the organisation and make your donation directly to them.

 

JustGiving will verify the identity of a JustGiving Project creator when they set up a JustGiving Projects page but JustGiving shall have no liability to donors whatsoever for any use or misuse of donations made to the JustGiving Project. The JustGiving Projects service is intended to open up fundraising activities for good causes which are not charities. The JustGiving Project may state that they will use donations only for specific purposes however JustGiving cannot guarantee that they will use it for such purpose. If you have any doubts as to how the money will be spent then you should contact the JustGiving Project directly to seek reassurance. It is your sole responsibility, as a user of the Website, to ensure that the good cause stated to be supported on a relevant JustGiving Projects page is one that you wish to support.

 

JustGiving fees

 

JustGiving charges a small transaction fee on every donation made on the Website or its associated services. The fee is currently up to 5% of the gross donation. Subscription fees also apply to member charities in the UK for additional services. For full details please visit www.justgiving.com/charities.

 

Unauthorised card use

 

When a donation is made on the Website and charged to your card the transaction is final and not disputable unless unauthorised use of your payment card is proved. If you become aware of fraudulent use of your card, or if it is lost or stolen, you must notify your card provider in accordance with its reporting rules.

 

Protecting your account

 

When you register with JustGiving and choose a password to protect your secure account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password to prevent others gaining access to your personal information.  This includes any taxpayer details you may have saved under your profile in order to claim Gift Aid. Claiming Gift Aid using someone else’s taxpayer information is against the law.  If you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account, we recommend that you change your password immediately and call our helpdesk on the telephone number set out on the Contact Us page.

 

Information

 

JustGiving is not an accounting, taxation or financial advisor, and you should not rely on information given on the Website or its associated services to determine the accounting, tax or financial consequences of making a donation to charity, not-for-profit or JustGiving Project. We strongly recommend that you consult your own adviser(s) about any accounting, taxation or financial consequences that may affect you.

 

Privacy

 

JustGiving’s Privacy Policy forms part of these Terms of Service. By agreeing to these Terms of Service you also give your consent to the way we may handle your personal information under that Policy. Read our Privacy Policy here.

JustGiving does not actively edit the Website but reserves the right to remove or edit any content posted on the Website or its associated services at its sole discretion and without notice, regardless of whether or not it is, in the opinion of any third party, offensive, obscene, racist, libellous, misleading or deceptive. If you notice any such content, please email us at help@justgiving.com.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the content you are uploading on your page, in particular the photograph, is not copyright-protected. If it is, you must obtain the copyright owner’s written consent to use it. JustGiving reserves the right to remove any pictures, photographs or copy from personal fundraising or JustGiving Projects pages, at its sole discretion and without notice if their copyright status is in any doubt. If you suspect a breach of copyright on the Website, please email us at help@justgiving.com.
  • Other than in relation to your own JustGiving fundraising page or JustGiving Projects page, you may not remove or change anything on the Website.

Building a JustGiving page in aid of a Cause in no way implies JustGiving’s or the Cause’s endorsement of your fundraising activity. Many Causes disapprove of, and do not wish to be involved in, dangerous sports or unusual challenges. It is your responsibility to check with the Cause first that your chosen activity does not contravene the Cause’s policies. JustGiving reserves the right, at its absolute discretion and without notice, to cancel your personal fundraising page at the request of the Cause, in the event that the Cause, in its absolute discretion, deems your fundraising activity inappropriate or unnecessarily dangerous.

Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

 

If you live in Australia, the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) may confer rights, guarantees and remedies on you in relation to the provision by JustGiving of services on the Website, which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified. JustGiving does not exclude, restrict or modify those rights.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, JustGiving’s liability for breach of any consumer guarantee, which cannot be excluded, is limited at the option of JustGiving to, in the case of services supplied or offered by JustGiving which are not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption (i) the supply of the services again; or (ii) the payment of the cost of having services supplied again.

 

The times at which JustGiving shall undertake general maintenance and upkeep of the Website will be between 12.00am and 08.00 hours (GMT) at the weekends.

 

Governing law

 

These Terms of Service and any contractual or non-contractual dispute arising out of or in connection with your use of the Website or the associated services are governed by the law of New South Wales, Australia and are subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales, Australia.

 

SPECIFIC TERMS OF SERVICE FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM AND ALL COUNTRIES OTHER THAN AUSTRALIA (SAVE WHERE INDICATED OTHERWISE).

 

These additional terms apply and will prevail where you access the Website or associated services in the United Kingdom or any other part of the world (other than Australia).

 

The local JustGiving entity and the company who provides the service to you is Giving.com Limited, whose registered office is at WeWork, 10 York Road, London, SE1 7ND, United Kingdom.

 

Gift Aid and tax (this section is applicable to UK Tax Payers only)

 

When you donate to a charity and certain Community Amateur Sports Clubs (“CASC’s”) on the Website or its associated services and confirm that you are a UK taxpayer in accordance with the requirements of the Gift Aid scheme as they apply from time to time, JustGiving reclaims Gift Aid on behalf of the charity or CASC under the UK government’s Gift Aid scheme.

 

Every charity or CASC that is a member of JustGiving has a contractual agreement with JustGiving authorising it to reclaim Gift Aid on its behalf. Charities and CASC’s must be registered with the Charity Commission or exempt from registration for JustGiving to reclaim Gift Aid on their behalf. JustGiving also features certain not-for-profit organisations and JustGiving Projects, which are not eligible for Gift Aid reclaim. These are clearly listed on the Website as not eligible for Gift Aid reclaim. Donations to these Causes are not tax deductible.

 

When a donation is eligible for Gift Aid reclaim, the fee JustGiving charges is up to 5% of the gross donation, which is the donation plus any Gift Aid reclaimed. When a donation is not eligible for Gift Aid reclaim, the up to 5% fee applies to the donation alone.

 

Non member charities (applies to the UK only)

 

JustGiving also runs a “non member charity” service. This means JustGiving will also feature on our Website most of the charities registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, even if they are not one of our member charities. We have made arrangements to allow donations to be made to non member charities through the JustGiving Foundation, who will collect Gift Aid on their behalf. The JustGiving Foundation provides a purely administrative role in collecting donations and reclaiming Gift Aid on behalf of the non member charities.

 

When JustGiving sends a donation to a non member charity, JustGiving will send the non member charity a cheque for the donation plus the Gift Aid, minus JustGiving ‘s standard 5% fee (see the “Gift Aid and tax” section above). If the non member charity accepts the donation by cashing the cheque an agreement will be formed with JustGiving. If they do not accept the cheque they will not enter into any agreement with JustGiving and the donation will not be processed. It may take up to six months from when JustGiving passes your donation on to the charity to confirm that the donation will not be processed as cheques are valid for this period. If the non member charity sends the cheque back to JustGiving earlier, JustGiving is unable to make payment or doesn’t feel it is appropriate to pass on a donation (for example, if a charity has been de-registered by the Charity Commission or has a sanction listed against them) then JustGiving will contact you so as to return the donation to you. If JustGiving is unable to contact you then JustGiving will select an appropriate alternative charity to pass the donation to.

 

JustTextGiving (applies to the UK only)

 

JustTextGiving is one of JustGiving’s associated services. It is a text giving service that processes donations and JustGiving reclaims Gift Aid on behalf of the charities featured on it. JustGiving does not currently charge charities or donors for this service, although JustGiving reserves the right to charge the transaction fee in the future. If JustGiving does decide to charge for the service, JustGiving will tell you in advance.

 

Text donations may be refunded in certain circumstances (such as where the donation was sent from your mobile phone by mistake or without your permission) at the absolute discretion of your mobile phone operator. If you wish to request a refund you should contact your mobile phone operator to discuss this with them. There is no obligation for your mobile phone operator to provide a refund and they may choose to refund only part of the donation if they wish. Because JustGiving pays donations via text to charities regularly, we regret that we can only refund a text donation if the charity expressly requests it, and they can pay us back. Please get in touch with the charity first.

 

Your mobile operator will pass 100% of the text donation onto JustGiving. The minimum text donation is GBP £1 and all donations must be in whole pounds sterling. The maximum text donation allowed is GBP £10 for all mobile operators. Donations sent via text will usually incur your standard text message fee. Please refer to your tariff for details of your standard text message fee.

 

After you send a donation via text JustGiving will send you a text message in response, confirming your donation and providing you with the opportunity to add Gift Aid to your donation. JustGiving will include a link to a Gift Aid page where you can provide your details to enable JustGiving to collect Gift Aid on your behalf. Alternatively, JustGiving may send you a text message asking if you would like to add Gift Aid to your donation and to reply to this text message giving your name, address and postcode. If you reply to JustGiving text messages regarding Gift Aid your mobile operator will charge you one standard text message fee.

 

User conduct

 

You, as a user of the Website, must not provide a donor with any gift, prize or any other form of incentive in connection with the making of any donation by the donor.

 

JustGiving fees

 

All payments referred to in these Terms of Service are exclusive of Value Added Tax, where applicable.

 

Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

 

The times at which JustGiving shall undertake general maintenance and upkeep of the Website will be between 12.00am and 08.00 hours (GMT) at the weekends.

 

Governing law

 

These Terms of Service and any contractual or non-contractual dispute arising out of or in connection with your use of the Website or the associated services are governed by English law and are subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

If you create a JustGiving Projects page on the Website the following additional terms will apply to your dealings with JustGiving in relation to the relevant JustGiving Project and your use of the Website and associated services. To the extent there is any conflict between these additional terms and the core terms of service, these additional terms will apply:

 

Donations and Bank Trust Funds Accounts

 

JustGiving will:

Intermediary

 

JustGiving, as operator of the Website and associated services, acts as an intermediary between you and the individual users of the Website and associated services and whilst your and/or the JustGiving Project and the individual user information resides on the Website or associated services, JustGiving does not check or exercise any editorial control over the content of such information, save as required by applicable laws. In the event that JustGiving is made aware of or has knowledge of any unlawful activity or information on the Website or associated services, JustGiving shall act to remove or disable access to the information. JustGiving shall not be liable to you or the JustGiving Project as a result of its role as intermediary.

Upon termination or suspension or denial of access to the Website and associated services, funds already received on your behalf by JustGiving will be handled in accordance with the provisions above, provided that any potential repayment (where applicable) may be delayed where JustGiving conducts an investigation regarding your use of the Website and associated services and may decide to refuse to pay funds across to you where you have breached these Terms of Service.
