A buyer (the “Buyer”) and donor (the “Donor”) may pay with and accept credit cards and other electronic payment methods (each an “Electronic Payment Method”) through the Service. The Company has integrated with Stripe to allow Donors to accept Electronic Payment Methods from Buyers using Stripe Connect (“GiveShop Payments”). GiveShop in its sole discretion, may from time to time impose limits on your ability to make and/or receive payments through the GiveShop Payments. Additionally, Stripe may impose its own limits and limitations on a Buyer or Donor’s use of the GiveShop Payments.
All purchases made using GiveShop Payments are made directly between the Buyer and the Donor when they complete their purchase and sale transaction, pursuant to the terms they determine. We, including any participating Charity, are not a party to the purchase and sale transactions completed using GiveShop Payments, and disclaim any and all responsibility to facilitate such transactions, except to provide an interface through which you can provide your Electronic Payment Method to Stripe to process on behalf of the Donor. By releasing a payment to the Donor, the Buyer confirms that they are in possession of the item, have inspected it, and that the item is acceptable. Upon the completion of the checkout process the purchase and sale is deemed final and the payment processed will be treated as an irrevocable donation to the designated Charity. Any dispute between the Buyer and Donor relating to the value or condition of the sold item will be limited to the value of the charitable receipt issued to the Donor by the designated Charity.
Donors using GiveShop Payments to accept Electronic Payment Methods are entering into an agreement with Stripe subject to the Stripe terms and conditions. You agree to pay the service fees (“Service Fees”) for the sales transactions you make using GiveShop Payments. The Service Fees include Electronic Payment Method processing fees to GiveShop payment processor and service fees to GiveShop. We reserve the right to change the Service Fees from time to time. We are not liable for funds held within a donor’s account, should they not provide us with payout information (or provide us with incorrect payment information). We are not responsible for incorrect payout that results in a successful, irretrievable payout to a third party as the result of your providing incorrect information.
Donors further irrevocably agree that the funds will be automatically directed to the Charity listed in the item and/or transaction along with the necessary personal information required by the Charity to issue a charitable receipt. Donors agree and acknowledge that the issuance of any charitable receipt is subject to minumum amounts which may be imposed by the respective Charity and that the issuance of such charitable receipt may be done in the manner and timeline determined by that Charity.
Offers may be canceled by us for any reason prior to a Buyer releasing their payment to a Donor. We cannot provide protection or support for payments released to a Donor before the Buyer has possession of the item. Any decision made by GiveShop in regards to resolving a payments dispute is final and binding.
