Legal
Terms of Use
Effective: October 1, 2026
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of joindonate.com and the current pre-launch donate.com website.
By using the website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the website.
1.Pre-launch website
donate.com is currently under development.
The current website is provided primarily for informational, demonstration, research, early-access, partnership and business-development purposes. Live donation processing is not currently available through the website.
Features shown on the website may represent planned functionality, prototypes, demonstrations, concepts or future services and may change before launch.
2.Demonstration content
Some nonprofit organizations, profiles, statistics, donation flows, impact information, transactions, names, images or other content shown on the website may be fictional, illustrative, simulated or used solely for demonstration purposes.
The appearance of an organization on a demonstration or prototype page does not necessarily indicate:
- a partnership with donate.com
- endorsement by that organization
- verification by donate.com
- availability for donations
- participation in the future platform
Where practical, demo content may be identified as such.
3.No charitable donation service yet
The current website does not accept or process live charitable donations.
No interaction with a demonstration donation interface creates a donation, charitable contribution, payment obligation, tax deduction, nonprofit relationship or legally binding allocation of funds.
Future live donation services will be subject to additional terms, disclosures, payment-provider rules, nonprofit agreements, refund policies and other applicable requirements.
4.No tax or legal advice
Information available through the website is provided for general informational purposes. donate.com does not provide legal, tax, accounting, financial, investment or charitable-deduction advice. Please obtain appropriate professional advice when necessary.
5.Website information
We aim to provide accurate and useful information, but pre-launch website content may be incomplete, experimental, subject to change or based on planned future functionality.
We do not guarantee that:
- every feature shown will be released
- functionality will remain unchanged
- timelines will remain unchanged
- every organization shown will participate in the platform
- all information will always be complete or current
6.Acceptable use
You may not use the website to:
- violate applicable law
- attempt unauthorized access to systems or data
- interfere with website operation or security
- introduce malicious code
- scrape or extract information at unreasonable scale
- impersonate another person or organization
- submit knowingly false or misleading information
- misuse forms or communication channels
- infringe intellectual-property or other legal rights
- use the website for fraudulent, abusive or harmful purposes
We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect the website, users, systems or other parties.
7.Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the website design, donate.com branding, original written content, interface elements, graphics, concepts expressed through original content, software and other materials created for donate.com are owned by or licensed to donate.com and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
You may access the website for ordinary personal or business evaluation purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, commercially exploit, misrepresent or create unauthorized copies of protected website materials except as permitted by law or with prior permission.
Nothing in these Terms grants ownership of donate.com trademarks, branding, software or other intellectual property.
8.User submissions
If you send us comments, product feedback, suggestions or ideas, you remain responsible for the information you submit.
You authorize us to use ordinary feedback relating to the website or product to evaluate and improve donate.com without an obligation to compensate you.
Do not submit confidential business information, trade secrets, third-party confidential information or material you do not have authority to disclose through ordinary website forms or email.
This section does not transfer ownership of personal information and remains subject to the Privacy Policy.
9.Third-party services and links
The website may reference or link to third-party services, organizations, websites, tools or providers. donate.com does not control third-party services and is not responsible for their content, availability, terms, security or privacy practices.
10.Future third-party payment services
Future versions of donate.com may integrate third-party payment, banking, identity-verification or nonprofit-verification providers. Use of those services may be subject to separate provider terms.
Nothing on the current website should be interpreted as confirmation that a particular provider has approved, endorsed, sponsored or partnered with donate.com unless explicitly stated.
11.Website availability
We may modify, suspend, restrict or discontinue any portion of the website at any time. Because the platform is under active development, interruptions, changes, errors, incomplete functionality and redesigns may occur.
12.Disclaimer of warranties
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the current website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
We do not make warranties regarding uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, fitness for a particular purpose or the availability of future features. Nothing in this section limits rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
13.Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, donate.com will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or similar damages arising solely from use of the current pre-launch informational website.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
14.Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for losses, claims or expenses resulting from your unlawful misuse of the website or your violation of these Terms.
15.Changes to the platform
The donate.com product, business model, branding, pricing, features, nonprofit participation model, payment architecture, rewards systems, geographic availability and other aspects of the platform may evolve before and after launch. Website descriptions of future functionality should not be treated as guarantees.
16.Future terms
These Terms apply to the current pre-launch website. Before live donation processing or materially expanded functionality becomes available, donate.com expects to introduce updated terms addressing areas such as:
- donor accounts
- donation processing
- recurring donations
- refunds
- payment fees
- nonprofit settlement
- organization participation
- rewards
- brand partnerships
- user-generated fundraising
- verification
- prohibited activity
- dispute handling
Those future terms may replace or supplement these Terms.
17.Governing law
Applicable governing-law and dispute-resolution provisions may be added or updated as donate.com completes its corporate formation and prepares for commercial launch.
18.Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as the website and platform develop. The effective date at the top of the page identifies the current version.
Continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
