DonationTo gives users the opportunity to launch a fundraising page without paying any monthly fees. We charge a fee of 4 percent for each donation that is collected, and our service works with WePay to provide contributions in real time to our users. Additionally, PayPal and WePay each charge a fee of 2.9 percent plus $0.30 per each contribution that they process. These fees are applicable to U.S. users. International users should consult with the applicable terms and conditions to determine if their fee structure will be different: PayPal's Terms and Conditions & WePay's Terms and Conditions.
Every applicable fee will be automatically deducted from each individual transaction, and this means that you will never receive a bill for using our services. Please note that DonationTo has no affiliation with WePay, and their commission and fee structures are therefore subject to change at any time without any prior notification from us.
Every DonationTo user who makes the decision to publish an online donation page needs to be aware that their page will be available publicly on the Internet for everyone to see. Search engines such as Yahoo and Google will have the right to index your online donation page, and anyone can share your page. All activity on your page will be public, and we do not have the option to provide you with a hidden or private DonationTo page.
Every DonationTo donor has the option to make a public or anonymous contribution. If you do not choose the anonymous option, your name, donation amount and any attached comments will be viewable by visitors and search engines. You can prevent this from happening by simply selecting the anonymous check box while going through the process of making a donation.
Each user is personally responsible for fully complying with any applicable laws that will be related to their actions and usage of the DonationTo service. Therefore, whether you intend to break the law or not, you can be held personally liable for any legal violations. Additionally, you are required to completely adhere to all of the Terms and Conditions of our website.
There are certain types of campaigns that are not permitted to publish a donation page via DonationTo. Any violation of these guidelines can result in the immediate deletion of your fundraising page and account. DonationTo cannot be held liable for any lost donations as a result of deleting a page that does not comply with our Terms and Conditions. The following campaign types are not permitted and are subject to deletion at any time:
Please note that the above guidelines cannot possibly contain every unique situation that DonationTo might encounter in the future. Therefore, we reserve the right to review each campaign and make decisions on a case-by-case basis. In other words, a campaign can be deemed inappropriate and removed from our website even if it is not listed in the list above.
We understand that inappropriate and unwanted comments could be posted to your campaign at any time by donors and other users. If this happens, campaign organizers will never be held responsible or penalized for the actions of people who are not directly connected to their fundraiser.
If you believe that you have encountered a fundraising page hosted by DonationTo that does not adhere to all of these policies, please contact us at Support@DonationTo.com.

Users agree that DonationTo cannot be held responsible for any third-party offers that are made through our website, including the failure of any services or goods to meet your specific expectations.

The usage of our service is contingent upon your agreement of every section of this agreement. However, nothing within these provisions can be construed to limit in any way the generality of the initial paragraph of this section.
Amendment for all jurisdictions that in any way limit our legal ability to waive our liability: If your specific jurisdiction has a provision in place for liability or waivers that conflicts with our provisions and waiver of liability, our liability will then be limited to the absolute smallest extent that is allowed by law.

Users who are a resident of a jurisdiction where a specific statement regarding the release of liability is required are hereby notified that this agreement meets that requirement. As an example, a condition of this agreement requires all California residents to hereby waive the section of the California Civil Code section 1542 that states, "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor." All California users hereby waive section 1542 in order to use our services. All users outside of California hereby waive any other similar codes, regulations or provisions in their local law that have the same effect or intent of the aforementioned California release.
