Terms & Conditions
Clear draft terms for how Donation Fever works today.
This page is written to improve readability and trust for organizers and supporters. It is draft public site copy and should be reviewed by legal counsel before being treated as final legal terms.
Draft notice
The language below is intentionally plain-English and credibility-first. It is meant to explain the current product model without overstating legal claims. Replace or finalize it only after attorney review.
1. Using Donation Fever
Donation Fever provides campaign-page software that helps schools, teams, clubs, nonprofits, families, and other community causes publish fundraising pages with visible progress, campaign updates, and links to donation methods they already use.
These Terms & Conditions are presented as draft public-facing site copy for transparency and trust-building. They should be reviewed by qualified legal counsel before being treated as final legal terms, and they should not be relied on as a substitute for attorney-reviewed platform terms.
Until Donation Fever adds a clear click-to-accept or similar assent flow, this page should be treated as notice of the platform's intended operating rules rather than a finalized binding agreement.
2. Accounts, eligibility, and account security
You must provide accurate information when creating or using an account. If you create or manage a campaign, you are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account.
Donation Fever is intended for users who are at least 13 years old. If you create, manage, or receive funds through a campaign, you represent that you are legally able to do so for the fundraiser involved and that you have any consent, authority, or organizational approval required for that activity.
Donation Fever may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to accounts or campaigns that appear to create legal, payment, safety, trust, or platform-integrity risks.
3. Organizer responsibilities
If you create or manage a campaign, you are responsible for the accuracy of your campaign title, descriptions, fundraising purpose, images, progress updates, sponsor placements, and any claims you make to supporters.
Organizers are also responsible for making sure their fundraising activity, use of donated funds, and connected payment methods comply with applicable laws, school or organizational rules, tax requirements, and any rules imposed by the third-party payment services they choose.
Organizers must make sure their linked payment methods are authorized for their use, appropriate for the type of fundraising being conducted, accessible to their intended supporters, and compliant with the provider's own terms of service.
- Only connect donation methods you are authorized to use.
- Do not misrepresent who is raising funds or where money will go.
- Keep campaign information current if the fundraiser changes, pauses, or ends.
- Handle donor communication, fulfillment, receipts, records, and any campaign-specific disclosures on your side when those obligations apply.
4. Donations, service fees, and third-party payment providers
Donation Fever v1 does not collect, hold, transmit, or process campaign donations directly. When a supporter clicks a donation option on a campaign page, they leave Donation Fever and are sent to the organizer's selected third-party payment page, digital wallet, payment link, or hosted checkout flow.
Because donations are completed through outside services, payment processing fees, service fees, transfer fees, chargeback fees, currency conversion fees, or other transaction costs may be charged under the third-party provider's own terms. Unless that provider states otherwise, those fees are the responsibility of the party whose payment account receives the funds, which is typically the organizer or campaign beneficiary.
Donation Fever's own platform pricing is separate from campaign donations. Under the product model described on this site today, Donation Fever is supported through plan fees and optional direct platform support rather than by deducting a percentage from organizer-linked campaign donations. If Donation Fever changes its pricing model, this page and related organizer-facing notices should be updated before those changes take effect.
Chargebacks, payment reversals, declines, holds, freezes, and related disputes are handled by the third-party payment provider under that provider's own terms. Donation Fever does not mediate, reverse, or assume liability for third-party payment disputes.
Supporters should review the destination payment page carefully before completing a donation. Their payment is governed by the payment provider's terms and the organizer's disclosures, not by Donation Fever's internal payment-processing systems, because Donation Fever does not run that payment flow directly.
5. Content ownership and platform license
Organizers and other users retain ownership of the campaign content, copy, images, logos, and updates they submit to Donation Fever. However, by submitting or publishing content through the platform, you grant Donation Fever a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, reproduce, format, and distribute that content as needed to operate, improve, promote, secure, and support the platform and its campaign pages.
You are responsible for making sure you have the right to upload or publish any content you post. Donation Fever may remove or restrict content that appears to infringe another party's rights, violate these terms, or create legal or reputational risk for the platform or its users.
6. Acceptable use
You may not use Donation Fever to publish unlawful, deceptive, abusive, infringing, or harmful campaign content, interfere with the platform, scrape private account data, impersonate another person or organization, or use the site in a way that could damage trust in the platform or its community fundraisers.
Donation Fever may suspend, hide, remove, or investigate campaigns, accounts, sponsor placements, or content that appear to misuse the service, create risk for supporters, or conflict with the platform's intended community-fundraising purpose.
If you believe content on Donation Fever infringes your rights or should be removed for legal reasons, contact the platform operator with enough detail to review the request and respond appropriately.
7. Platform availability, content, and updates
Donation Fever may change features, plans, page layouts, sponsor placements, or supported workflows over time. Public pages and dashboards may also be unavailable temporarily because of maintenance, hosting issues, third-party service interruptions, abuse prevention measures, or other technical problems.
We aim for clear, trustworthy campaign presentation, but we cannot promise uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, successful fundraising outcomes, or compatibility with every payment provider or external service.
8. Disclaimers, indemnity, and limitation of liability
Donation Fever provides campaign-page software and related presentation tools on an "as available" and "as is" basis to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Donation Fever does not guarantee the truth of organizer statements, the success of any fundraiser, the performance of any third-party payment provider, or the delivery of any goods, services, rewards, or outcomes described by an organizer.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Donation Fever is not responsible for losses, disputes, delays, chargebacks, donation reversals, fundraising misuse, tax treatment, or damages arising from organizer conduct, supporter decisions, external payment pages, financial providers, sponsor relationships, or other third-party systems outside the platform's direct control.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Donation Fever's total aggregate liability for claims arising out of or relating to these terms or the platform will not exceed the greater of (a) one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100) or (b) the amounts paid by you directly to Donation Fever during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Donation Fever will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, even if Donation Fever has been advised of the possibility of those damages.
If you create, manage, or operate a campaign, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Donation Fever, Fern & Tar LLC, and their affiliates, operators, service providers, and personnel from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your campaign content, use of funds, conduct, payment-method choices, violation of these terms, or violation of applicable law or third-party rights.
Nothing on the site should be treated as legal, tax, accounting, fundraising-compliance, or financial advice. Organizers should get their own professional advice where appropriate, especially for regulated, nonprofit, school, or tax-sensitive fundraising activity. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers or limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you to the extent prohibited by law.
9. Governing law, disputes, severability, and privacy
To the fullest extent permitted by law, these terms and any dispute related to the platform are intended to be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, disputes should be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Florida, and each party consents to that forum.
If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Use of Donation Fever is also subject to the platform's Privacy Policy. If a separate Privacy Policy is published, it should be read together with these terms.
10. Changes to these terms
Donation Fever may revise this page as the product, pricing, workflows, or legal language evolve. When the page is updated, the published effective date should also be updated so organizers and supporters can see when the current version was posted.
