Definitions

The definitions set out in the Schedule to these Terms and Conditions apply to all references to the terms defined in the schedule where they appear in the terms and conditions and throughout the rest of this guide.

Terms and Conditions of the Charities Trust Sponsor Me pages:

Charities Trust, a charity registered with the Charity Commission, (registration number 327489) and a company limited by guarantee registered in England, (company number 2142757) operates the website www.sponsorme.co.uk and other related systems and services. These are the Terms and Conditions which govern each use you make of the payment services provided through that website.

These Terms and Conditions apply separately to each single donation or event fee payment that you make. By confirming on the sponsor-me website that you wish to make a donation or event fee payment you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions for that transaction.

1. General Usage

Your use of our Internet sites or any of the products or services offered on those sites (collectively, the "Services") is subject to these Terms and Conditions (Terms). Charities Trust reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time without notice to you by posting revised Terms on our website. Your use of our website or Services constitutes your binding acceptance of these Terms, including any modifications that we make.

Some of our Services may be subject to additional posted conditions. Your use of those Services is subject to those conditions, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference. In the event of an inconsistency between these Terms and any additionally posted conditions, the provisions of the additional conditions shall prevail.

Charities Trust has the right, but not the obligation, to take any of the following actions in our sole discretion at any time and for any reason without giving you any prior notice 

You agree that we will not be liable to you or any third party for taking any of these actions.

You understand and agree that our Services may include communications such as service announcements and administrative messages from us or our partners and that these communications are considered part of the Services.

You will not be able to opt-out of receiving these messages.

2. About Charities Trust and the charities you may donate to

Any donation which you make using the website will be made to Charities Trust itself. Charities Trust is a registered charity, so your donation may be eligible for Gift Aid (see below for more details).

Although your donation will be made to Charities Trust you can choose a charity from the list available on the website to which you would like Charities Trust to pass on your money. Charities Trust will usually pass on your donation to your chosen charity in accordance with your wishes, although they retain a final discretion over whether or not to do so.

Your donation will be allocated to the charity or charities nominated by the fundraiser, as soon as payment is made. There may be occasions where donations are held pending further investigations. Your donation plus Gift Aid less Charities Trust's fees will be passed to a charity and not applied to Charities Trust's own funds.

Charities Trust is not responsible for any dissatisfaction you may have about how your chosen charity uses any donation which you make through the website.

3. Making donations

You can make donations by following the instructions on the Sponsor Me website. Donations can be made by debit card or credit card (including American Express).

Any donations made in currencies other than GBP will be converted to Sterling and you may incur additional fees levied by your card provider for the transaction.

Once a donation is made using the website, the transaction is final and cannot be disputed or reversed unless it was made fraudulently. If you become aware of any fraudulent use of your debit card or credit card you should report this to your card operator in accordance with their reporting rules.

Not withstanding the above Charities Trust may at its absolute discretion agree to refund a donation made in error if the funds have not been passed to the nominated charity. Where this occurs an administration fee of £10 will be incurred.

When you make a donation, it may be necessary for us to verify your identity or the details which you have given to us. You agree that you will provide such information or documents as we may reasonably request from time to time to enable us to do this.

4. Gift Aid

When you make a donation using the website and confirm that you are a UK taxpayer in accordance with the requirements of the Gift Aid scheme from time to time, Charities Trust will reclaim Gift Aid on your donation under the Gift Aid scheme and add this to your gift. Further details about this will be given when you use the website to make a donation. Please note that Charities Trust is not a financial, tax or accounting adviser and you should not rely on information on the website to determine the financial, tax or accounting treatment of any donation which you make using the website.

Further information about the Gift Aid scheme can be found on the HMRC website http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/individuals/giving/gift-aid.htm including details of how higher rate tax payers can reclaim additional tax relief on their donations.

5. Fees

If you do not have a Charities Trust My Giving Account a small fee of 4% will be deducted from the sum of your donation and any Gift Aid reclaimed, to cover our administrative costs. If you are a Charities Trust My Giving Account customer then the amount of the fee deducted will be in accordance with the existing terms of your Charities Trust My Giving Account.

If your donation is not eligible for Gift Aid the fee of 4% will be deducted from the donation alone.

6. Online Services

When registering to fundraise with Sponsor Me you will be asked to select a password to protect your account. (Users are not required to register unless setting up their own fundraising event - you do not need an account to make a donation). Charities Trust advises that you keep your password secret, and if you believe that you password may have become lost, stolen, misused, used without authorisation, or have become known to another person you must contact us to go through the process of resetting your password. If you become aware of any fraudulent card use or if it is lost or stolen you must contact your card provider.

The online services may become temporarily unavailable and although this mostly occurs through planned overnight maintenance. Charities Trust will endeavour to inform you of any planned downtime or account suspension through a general notice on our website.

Occasionally the payments service will be interrupted or caused to fail by unforeseen circumstances beyond the control of Charities Trust, or where we need to act to comply with the Law. We will not be responsible for the consequences of such events.

7. Site Usage

Charities Trust as the operator of the Sponsor Me website acts as an intermediary between the Charities and the individual or corporate users of our Services. If Charities Trust requests registration information from you, you will provide us with true, accurate, current and complete information. If you are issued with a password you may not reveal this password to anyone else and you may not use anyone else's password to access an account that is not your own. Charities Trust is not responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your accounts and passwords beyond the agreed Privacy Statement. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorised use of your passwords or accounts or any other breach of security.
