What are our User Terms?

Effective Date: December 6, 2023

The Percent Pledge Foundation and Percent Pledge Labs Inc. (together, “Percent Pledge” “we” or “us”) operates and maintains the Percent Pledge website (www.percentpledge.org, the “Site”) to help you donate a percentage of your monthly budget to the causes you care about. These User Terms (“Terms”) govern your use of the Site and describe the terms and conditions on which Percent Pledge provides you with access to and use of the Site. Importantly, these Terms provide the following:

Donations you make through Percent Pledge will be distributed among certain charitable causes selected by you. Because we promptly distribute your donations, we regret that we can only refund a donation in exceptional circumstance, as described below. Percent Pledge takes zero fees from your donations, as described below.
Your privacy is important to us, and our Privacy Policy describes how we protect it.
Limit our liability to you and require you to resolve any dispute with us through final and binding arbitration – on an individual basis and not part of any class or representative action.

Please read the entirety of these Terms carefully because they constitute a legal agreement between Percent Pledge and you. By accessing and using the Site, you agree that: (1) You have read and understand these Terms; (2) You will comply with these Terms; and (3) You are at least the age of legal majority in your place of residence and otherwise legally competent to enter into contracts. If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms, do not continue to use or access the Site.

About our Cause Portfolios

The Site allows you to make donations to one or more portfolios that are composed of charities that support the causes you care about the most (“Cause Portfolios”). Every charity within the Cause Portfolios featured by Percent Pledge authorizes us to collect donations on its behalf. The Cause Portfolios are listed on the Site at our discretion, and the exact charities within the Cause Portfolios may change from time to time. We do not accept responsibility for any activities of the charities that make up the Cause Portfolios.

Your donations

When you make a donation through the Site, you are making a complete and final charitable donation to the Percent Pledge Foundation, a U.S. 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity with its principal place of business at 500 Commercial St. Suite 4R, Boston, MA 02109 USA. You will receive a donation receipt from Percent Pledge for your contributions. Percent Pledge then makes contributions to the U.S. 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charities that are listed in our Cause Portfolios. Percent Pledge tries, but cannot guarantee, that your funds will be re-granted to the charities specified in each Cause Portfolio. Subject to the requirements of applicable local laws, once your donation is made, it may only be refunded to you with Percent Pledge’s prior written consent.

To comply with federal tax laws and regulations, Percent Pledge is required to retain legal control over any charitable donation is receives. In rare instances, Percent Pledge may determine that it would be inappropriate or improper to disburse the funds designated for a charity listed in our Cause Portfolios because, for example, it is no longer recognized as a public charity or is no longer in good standing with state or federal regulations. In these circumstances, Percent Pledge may, in its sole discretion, disburse the donation to another charity within our Cause Portfolios (as determined by Percent Pledge). Percent Pledge does not warrant that your donations will be used by the charities for any particular purposes and shall not be responsible for any dissatisfaction you may have regarding the use of your donation.

When you make a donation, the transaction is final and not disputable unless you prove unauthorized use of your payment card or other payment method. If you become aware of fraudulent use of your information, or if your information is lost or stolen, you must notify your card or other provider in accordance with its reporting rules.

Service fees

Percent Pledge takes zero fees from your donations. Stripe and Plaid, our integrated payment processors, take 2.2% + .30 cents on all donations made via Credit/Debit card and 0.08% on all donations made via Bank/ACH, which is lower than standard transaction fees for any online donations, whether indirect on other giving platforms or direct on nonprofit websites. Your entire net donation goes directly to the causes + charities you choose to support via Percent Pledge.

No solicitation or endorsement

The listing or display of a charity on the Site does not constitute a solicitation of donations. Percent Pledge does not engage in any solicitation activities directly on behalf of any of the charities in our Cause Portfolios, nor does it consult on the solicitation of contributions on behalf of any individual, entity, or organization. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, Percent Pledge does not endorse and has no affiliation with any of the charities in our Cause Portfolios, other than a contractual relationship to re-grant to them a percentage of the donations we receive. Percent Pledge has not independently verified any of the information or content provided by the charities in our Portfolio.

Protecting your account

When you register with Percent Pledge, please choose a password that is complex and designed to prevent other from gaining access to your account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for the activity on your account. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of or access to your account, we recommend that you change your password immediately and call us at the number listed in the Contact Us section below.

Privacy

Percent Pledge’s Privacy Policy forms part of these Terms. By agreeing to these Terms, you also agree that we may use the information you submit through the Site in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Electronic notice

You agree that we may send you notice via email to the email address you have provided, and we are not responsible for your failure to receive notice if email is quarantined by your email security system (e.g., “junk” or “spam” folder) or if you fail to update your email address. You also agree that we may send you notice through the Site.

Accordingly, we do not assume responsibility for any linked third-party websites or for their content, products, services, views, opinions, policies or activities.

Disclaimer of warranties

Limitation on liability and damages

Your use of the Site is at your own risk. You expressly acknowledge and agree that in no event shall Percent Pledge or any of its officers, employees, agents or representatives be liable to you or any other user, whether under a theory of contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal or equitable theory, for any direct, indirect, incidental, exemplary, special, punitive or consequential damages (including, without limitation, loss of use, or loss of data or information of any kind) arising out of or related to the Site or any Site Content, even if they have been advised of the possibility of such damages or losses. You understand agree that Percent Pledge’s maximum aggregate liability for any type of damages hereunder shall be limited to the total sum of the donations you made using the Site in the 12 month period preceding the date the circumstances giving rise to our liability arose.
You further agree that the limitations of liability set forth above will survive any termination or expiration of these terms and will apply even if any limited remedy specified herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
If you are a California resident, you waive your rights with respect to California Civil Code Section 1542, which says "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

‍

Defense and indemnification

You are responsible for your actions; if we (or any of our employees, directors or agents, or other users of the Site) are sued or if any claim or action is made or brought against us (or any of our employees, directors or agents, or other users of the Site) related to anything you do or omit to do (including your (i) use or misuse of the Site, (ii) your violation of these Terms, (iii) your violation of the rights of any other person or entity or (iv) your violation of any applicable law), you will pay any damages, losses, liabilities, expenses, settlement amounts or costs (including attorney’s fees) that we (and/or they) incur as a result of the suit or claim, and, if we request it, you will defend us (and/or them) against the suit or claim.

Governing law

These Terms and any dispute arising out or of in connection with you use of the Site are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws provisions.

No class action

You and Percent Pledge agree that any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute will be conducted solely on an individual bases. You and Percent Pledge your right to have any dispute heard as a class action or other action in a representative capacity.

Limitation on time to bring an action

You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the Site brought by you must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or such claim or cause of action will be forever barred.

Waiver of jury trial; agreement to arbitrate claims

By agreeing to these Terms, both you and we are waiving the right to a jury trial on any disputes that may arise.

You agree to arbitrate all disputes between you and us. If a dispute arises between you and us relating to the Site or these Terms, you and we agree that the dispute shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its rules for consumer arbitrations (“AAA Rules”). You and we agree to the following rules relating to any arbitration proceeding:

You and Percent Pledge waive any right to bring such claims before any court of law. Rights that you would have if you went to court, such as access to discovery, may be unavailable or limited in arbitration.
The venue for all disputes arising under these Terms shall be in Chicago, Illinois, but you and we may agree to conduct the arbitration by telephone, online and/or solely based on written submissions. You hereby waive any right to claim that such location is an inconvenient forum and covenant not to sue us in any other forum.
The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity (including attorney’s fees) and any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the parties. The arbitrator will not, however, have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages, the right to which each party hereby waives.
The arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of these Terms and the failure to do so will be deemed an excess of arbitral authority and grounds for judicial review.
Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Barring extraordinary circumstances, the arbitrator will issue a decision within 120 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed, which may be extended 30 days in the interests of justice.
All arbitration proceedings will be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto will be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award.
The award of the arbitrator will be in writing and will not include any statement setting forth the reasons for the disposition of any claim.
Either you or we may seek an injunction at any time from any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect the rights or property of you or us pending the completion of arbitration.
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. If, however, you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive for you as compared to the costs of litigation, Percent Pledge will pay as much of the filing, administration and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive for you. If the arbitrator determines that the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are frivolous, you agree to reimburse Percent Pledge for all fees associated with the arbitration that Percent Pledge paid on your behalf which you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA Rules.

Changes to these Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. The Effective Date of these Terms is at the top of this page. As we add new features, we may amend or supplement these Terms. If any modifications materially change your rights, we will notify you of these changes either by posting notice on the Site or by emailing you at the email address we have on file. Your continued use of the Site the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the amended Terms. The amended Terms supersede all previous versions of or agreements, notices or statements about the Terms.
