Introduction
LifeFunder is a combination crowdfunding platform and social network to raise support for causes.
Overview of Services
LifeFunder provides an online crowdfunding platform for users to communicate and network with other users to support and gather support for causes. LifeFunder is a project of LifeSiteNews.com, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides this website (the “Site”), and may make available for download mobile applications (“Mobile Apps”) for use on handheld devices and tablets (“Mobile Devices”). Our “Services” include tools to advance communication and the organization of people in order to empower both people and Organizations (“Organizations”) by way of the products, technology and other services through this Site, the Mobile Apps, widgets, any other service and technology whether through manual or automated means and all content we provide on the Site or on Mobile Apps (the “Content”), and all user instructions and help files (“Documentation”). The Services are made available to help you communicate, organize, volunteer and otherwise make online donations (“Donations”) to benefit individual people (“Individuals”) and Organizations (both non-exempt from federal income tax, such as certain business organizations, general interest organizations, political organizations and other forms of organizations that are exempt, such as Organizations that are non-profits (“Nonprofits”) that are exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). In this site, when we refer to an Organization, it refers to both tax exempt entities and non-exempt entities and individuals. If a non-profit is called out specifically, it is because the term is specific to non-profits. This distinction is made for tax purposes. LifeFunder will check the standing of beneficiary organizations in the sign up process.
These terms apply to you if you are an Individual, Organization, Nonprofit, Donor, Campaign Organizer, Event Organizer, Event Registrant or any other user of the site and/or services (collectively, "users" or "you"). If you choose to not accept these terms, you cannot use the LifeFunder site or the services. Be sure to contact us if you have any questions.
However, to be eligible to use the services and access the site, you must: (1) be at least 18 (or between the ages of 13 and 17 and using the site and services with parental or legal guardian consent and supervision); (2) not be using another person’s personal information without her/his permission.
THE TERMS OF USE REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS, AND ALSO LIMIT THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE.
Access to the site and services from territories where the site and/or services are illegal is strictly prohibited. Users are responsible for complying with all local rules, laws, and regulations regarding their use of the site and services.

No Refunds. ONCE PROCESSED, DONATIONS ARE NONREFUNDABLE.
Authority to Bill You. YOU AUTHORIZE THE SPONSOR TO CHARGE YOUR CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD OR OTHER CURRENT, VALID, ACCEPTED METHOD OF PAYMENT (WHICH YOU MAY UPDATE VIA YOUR ACCOUNT PROFILE), FOR EACH DONATION AND ON A MONTHLY BASIS FOR RECURRING DONATIONS. You promise that you are an authorized signatory of the credit or debit card or other payment method that you provide (your “Payment Method”). The Sponsor may use the services of third party payment processors to process Donations by credit cards and other accepted payment methods. Your Donation is subject to any additional terms and conditions imposed by these third party payment processors.
Fee Changes. LifeFunder reserves the right to change the Fees for the Services at any time. Fee changes will take effect following email notification to you or posting on our Site or Mobile Apps.
Insufficient Payment. If the Fees or Donations are not successfully settled due to expiration of your chosen Payment Method, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you fail to change your Payment Method information, you are still responsible for any uncollected Fees, Donations, charges, and other amounts, and you authorize LifeFunder to continue billing the Payment Method if possible. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates. For certain payment methods, your bank or card issuer may charge you a transaction fee or other charges, for which you are solely responsible.
Chargebacks and Refunds. If a donor on LifeFunder decides against a donation and requests a refund, the return of the funds will be at the discretion of the Nonprofit to whom the donor has directed the funds. The Nonprofit will normally receive the donation through the LifeFunder portal very quickly and thus will need to handle a return of the funds to the donor. LifeFunder also has the right, should you fail to cover the chargeback and related administrative fees, to charge your credit card for the chargeback and related administrative fees in full, and terminate your access to your account on the Site. LifeFunder and the applicable Sponsor may also pursue any necessary legal action in order to recover the disputed chargeback amounts. LifeFunder will charge a $25 fee for all chargebacks.
Transaction Fees. From time to time, LifeFunder may charge fees for premium services. These fees will be made clear at the time of the transaction. These fees may include fees that Nonprofits charge for events they are organizing. The price and terms of such an event will be made clear at the time of the offering.
Fee Refunds. If a partner Nonprofit offers a service that charges a fee, using a premium service offering from LifeFunder, such as a fee for an event registration or a ticket, the organization is responsible for its own refund policy, and chargebacks associated with refunds, and all corresponding communication. LifeFunder is simply a conduit of information related to these services. All dealings will be direct with the fee related (such as an event) transaction organizer.

The terms of your contract with your wireless or mobile network provider (“Mobile Provider”) will continue to apply when using the Mobile Apps. Your Mobile Provider may charge you fees for your use of the network connection services while accessing the Mobile Apps, for data downloading, email, text messages, roaming, and other Mobile Provider or third party charges. YOU ACCEPT SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL MOBILE PROVIDER FEES OR MOBILE APPS FEES.
(a) When you access Mobile Apps on your Mobile Device, LifeFunder may obtain information from your Mobile Provider about the type of Mobile Device you are using. We may use this information to notify you of features and products that may be available on your Mobile Device. Certain features of the Mobile Apps may require our collection of the phone number from your Mobile Device. We may link that phone number to the Mobile Device identification information.
(b) Some Mobile Providers use technology that tracks the physical location of Mobile Devices using their service. Depending on your Mobile Provider, we may automatically receive this information. You agree that we may use and store this information to provide location-based services, including location-targeted advertising. You may choose to turn off your Mobile Device location data collection within your Mobile Device’s Location Services settings. However, this may disable any Mobile Apps features that use this data.

We are not responsible if the Mobile Apps are unavailable, or for any difficulty or inability to download or access content, any compatibility or interoperability issues, or any communication system failure which may result in the Mobile Apps being unavailable. We may from time to time in our sole discretion develop and provide Service updates, which may include upgrades, bug fixes, patches, and other error corrections or new features (collectively “Updates”).

You acknowledge that LifeFunder does not provide support for the Mobile Apps.
(e) The Mobile Apps may allow you to store your log-in credentials on your Mobile Devices, so that you can automatically log in each time you open the Mobile Apps. If someone else has access to your Mobile Device (e.g., through theft), the automatic log-in feature will allow that person to have access to your Mobile Apps account. IF YOUR MOBILE DEVICE IS LOST OR STOLEN, YOU MUST CONTACT YOUR MOBILE PROVIDER IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE MOBILE APPS. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF OUR DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO THE MOBILE APPS.

As modified by the Terms, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively “Rules and Procedures”). You are thus GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury.
