As a platform that enables fundraising by registered organizations, FeatsClub requires organizers to review and adhere to the following terms before launching a fundraising campaign. These guidelines ensure transparency, compliance, and responsible use of FeatsClub’s platform.

Organizer Verification and Compliance Requirements

• Verification: All organizers must complete FeatsClub’s verification process, which includes validating the organization’s identity, legal status, and mission.
• Compliance with Local Laws: mOrganizers are solely responsible for ensuring that all fundraising activities comply with relevant local, state, and national regulations in their jurisdiction.

Processing Charges and Configurations

• Understanding Processing Charges: Organizations acknowledge that processing charges apply to all donations processed through FeatsClub. These charges include FeatsClub’s operational costs and fees from third-party payment facilitators. Organizations must review these charges prior to campaign launch.
• Absorbing or Passing on Fees: Organizations can choose to either absorb these processing charges themselves or configure the settings to have donors cover the additional cost. FeatsClub provides the necessary settings for organizations to make this choice transparently during the campaign setup process.
• On-Behalf Campaigns:FeatsClub allows users to launch “on-behalf” campaigns with the organization’s permission. However, both FeatsClub and the organization reserve the right to terminate any on-behalf campaign that is found to be misaligned with the organization’s mission or platform guidelines.

Campaign Responsibilities

• Campaign Purpose and Accuracy: Organizers are required to provide a clear, accurate description of their campaign’s purpose, goals, and intended use of funds. Misrepresentation of campaign details is strictly prohibited.
• Use of Funds: Funds raised through FeatsClub must be used exclusively for the stated purpose of the campaign. Any misuse of funds may result in investigation, sanctions, and potential termination of the organizer’s account.
• Transparency with Donors: Organizers must maintain transparency with donors by providing updates on the campaign’s progress and the allocation of funds, especially for campaigns that reach significant milestones or change in scope.

Consequences for Policy Violations

• Investigation Process: FeatsClub will investigate any reports of policy violations, including fund misuse, fraud, or misrepresentation. The organizer agrees to cooperate fully with any requests for information during the investigation.
• Sanctions and Account Termination: If an organizer is found to be in violation of FeatsClub’s policies, FeatsClub reserves the right to impose sanctions, including temporary suspension or permanent termination of the organization’s account. Violations may also be reported to legal authorities if deemed necessary.
