    2. Unrestricted Gifts: You understand that all donations made via the GiveGab Service will be deemed unrestricted gifts by the receiving organization, and potentially may not be used for the purpose specified by you or the organization. GiveGab has no control over how the organization uses funds raised via the GiveGab Service.
  2. Payment Processing: The amount of a donation to an organization designated by you is charged to your credit/debit card or debited from your bank account via ACH and paid to, and processed by the GiveGab Service and its partner payment processing services. You understand that each donation is held in a non-operating bank account, by the third party credit card processor (currently Stripe) and that GiveGab does not have custody or control of the donations. You understand that the third party credit card processor (currently Stripe) aggregates all donations made each day and transfers such total to the each organization's bank account within 5-10 business days for the initial deposit and then on a rolling 5 business days schedule for any payouts thereafter.
  3. Non-refundable: You understand that a donation payment, once charged to your credit card, is final and non-refundable with the exception that you can prove the transaction was made through an unauthorized use of your credit card. If you become aware of unauthorized use of your credit card, or it is lost or stolen, you must notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting rules.
  4. Fundraising on Behalf of Organization: You understand that if you chose to fundraise through the GiveGab Service on behalf of an organization that has enabled donation features such as general donation collection or fundraising campaigns, all monetary gifts to your fundraising efforts go to the associated organization and you do not receive any monetary portion of that gift. You understand that if you chose to fundraise through the GiveGab Service on behalf of an organization that has enabled donation features such as general donation collection, fundraising campaigns, etc, you cannot misrepresent that organization or any information about that organization or its fundraising efforts. Doing so will violate the code of user conduct (see "USER CONDUCT" section).
  5. Tax Language: You understand that if you chose to make a monetary gift (i.e. donation) to organizations through the GiveGab Service, the organization you transact with is the one that sets the tax language in any receipt you receive.
  6. No Tax Representation or Liability: You understand that the GiveGab Service makes no representations about the nature of any transaction you make through the GiveGab Service. Specifically, we do not make any representation as to whether all or any portion of your donations, including, if any, processing fees, are tax deductible. GiveGab will have no liability for any claim by any federal, state, local or any other tax authority with respect to the characterization on any applicable tax return of any donation by you, any GiveGab user, or any beneficiary organization.
