4. Campaigns & Fundraising
Campaign organizers are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their campaign information. OpenFunds does not guarantee that donations will be used as described by campaign organizers.
OpenFunds verifies enrollment status and mission commitments where possible, but cannot guarantee the fulfillment of donor benefits promised by campaign organizers or companies. All campaign content must comply with our Community Guidelines.
OpenFunds charges a platform fee of 5% on all funds raised. Payment processing fees are separate and vary by payment method.
5. Donations & Refunds
All donations made through the Platform are voluntary. OpenFunds facilitates the transfer of funds from donors to campaign organizers but is not responsible for how those funds are used.
Refunds may be issued at OpenFunds' discretion in cases of verified fraud or platform error. Donors who choose to donate anonymously agree that their identity will not be shared with campaign organizers or displayed publicly.
Donations are generally non-refundable unless the campaign is found to be fraudulent or in violation of these Terms.
6. Privacy & Anonymous Donations
OpenFunds is committed to protecting your privacy. When you choose the anonymous donation option, your name, email address, and any other identifying information will not be shared with the campaign organizer or displayed publicly on the Platform.
Anonymous donors may still receive a payment receipt from the payment processor for tax purposes, but their identity will not be disclosed to the fundraiser. For more information, please review our Privacy Notice.
7. Payment Processing
Payments on the Platform are processed by third-party payment providers, including Stripe and PayPal. By making a payment, you agree to the terms and privacy policies of the applicable payment processor.
OpenFunds does not store your credit card or bank account information. All payment data is handled by our certified payment partners in accordance with PCI-DSS standards.
8. Intellectual Property
All content on the Platform, including text, graphics, logos, and software, is the property of OpenFunds.app or its content providers and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Campaign organizers retain ownership of the content they submit. By submitting content, you grant OpenFunds a non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and distribute that content in connection with the Platform.
9. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. OPENFUNDS DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY CAMPAIGN WILL REACH ITS FUNDING GOAL OR THAT DONOR BENEFITS WILL BE FULFILLED.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OPENFUNDS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM.
