PAYMENT PROCESSOR 


For U.S. and Canadian users, for payment processing services we contract through Stripe Processing, and for services other than payment processing. We refer to these payment processing services as “Processing Services”).


ABOUT YOUR INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNT


Here, we provide information about member’s accounts of Individuals (as opposed to Organizations or Developers), including how to sign up, use, make or stop a payment (including recurring payments), and how to close an Individual account, as well as our, and each Individual’s, responsibilities around unauthorized payments and errors

SIGNING UP


To sign up as an Individual for a Business or personal membership account (which we refer to as an “individual account”) and get started, simply download the relevant application(s) for you and your Organizations(s).


CLOSING YOUR ACCOUNT


If you are looking to close your individual account, please send with your request, including your name, email address and the phone number associated with your account.

Closing your account will not stop or modify any payments that have been successfully processed on your account, but will cancel any recurring payment schedules that have not been processed on your account (see

MAKING PAYMENTS

Pre approved Payment/Recurring Payments below for more information about your payments).

You will remain liable for all obligations related to your individual account even after it is closed and there are situations where you may not be able to close your individual account immediately, including if you have a pending transaction or open claim..


MAKING PAYMENTS AS DONATIONS 


You can use your individual account to authorize and/or make payments to participating Organizations using our Services. If a supported payment method is being used by you for a transaction, you authorize Simplify to store the payment credentials for future scheduled or unscheduled transactions.

By using a payment method to perform transactions through with the Services, you represent and warrant to us that you are authorized to use such payment method with the Services, and that any transactions made using such payment method are for lawful purposes only.


Link or Unlink a Payment Method


You can link or unlink a debit card, credit card, or a bank account to your individual account as a stored method of payment. Please keep your payment method information current (i.e. credit card number and expiration date).

If this information changes, we may automatically update it as directed by your bank or card issuer without any action on your part, and we will use such updated payment method information with any existing recurring payment or other payment authorization.

To verify that a stored or linked method of payment is valid and authorized, we may periodically prompt you to confirm additional cardholder data such as billing zip or card verification value (CVV).


Choosing Your Method of Payment


You can choose any of the payment methods in your individual account as your preferred payment method. You can select a preferred payment method after logging into your individual account, navigating to the payment methods menu option and selecting the star next to your preferred payment method.

If you have chosen a preferred payment method, it will be shown as the primary method of payment when you make payments.

There may be times when your preferred payment method cannot be used, for example, if you select a credit card that has expired or your bank account has insufficient funds. Also, the availability of certain payment methods may be limited based on that particular Organization you are using. We may also restrict the types of payment methods you can use or accept through the Services at any time in our sole discretion.

If you have not selected a preferred payment method, or your preferred payment method is unavailable or declined, we may select among any of the active payment methods in your individual account.


Recurring Payments

You (as an Individual) can elect with a participating Organization to use Our payment processors, Stripe the payment service for future payments with that Organization. This allows the Organization to process and receive payments with your authorization either on a one-time, recurring or sporadic basis.

Preapproved payments of this type are sometimes referred to as a “billing agreement,” “subscription,” “recurring payment,” “recurring donation,” “reference transaction,” “preauthorized transfer”, “automatic payment”, “installment” or “unscheduled card-on-file”. We refer to such payments as “recurring payments”

If you elect to initiate recurring payments (which includes recurring donations), you are authorizing us to store and automatically charge your selected method of payment in the payment amount (including fees and charges) and frequency that you designated, without further consent or instructions from you.

You may pause (and later resume) your recurring payments by emailing [email protected]. If you wish to cancel your recurring payments, you may do so by revoking your authorization at least ten (10) business days prior to the next scheduled payment date.


Once a payment is processed

A payment cannot be cancelled by us or the Organization and we have no obligation to honor any request to stop, correct, reverse or recall a payment. Depending upon an Organization’s preference, we may default to a recurring payment for your individual account, but you may elect a one-time payment.

If any changes are made to a stored payment method or linked account is changed, any recurring payments associated with that stored payment method or linked account may be paused, canceled or otherwise adversely affected.

Revoking an authorization for a specific recurring payment schedule will not cancel other authorizations for recurring payments. If you pause or cancel a recurring payment, you may still owe the Organization money for the donation, purchase or pledge, or have additional obligations to the Organization for any goods or services that you receive but have not paid for.

If you schedule a recurring payment, the recurring payment amount you specified will be billed to the credit or debit card, bank account, or other account you designate during the setup process. If you want to designate a different credit, debit card or bank or other account, or if there is a change in such cards or accounts, you must change such information through the application. This may temporarily delay your ability to make online payments while your new payment information is verified.


Fees for Individuals


HE is Hope does not charge Individuals processing or other fees for making donations, unless the donor elects to help cover processing fees incurred by an Organization by voluntarily contributing more or authorizing us to adjust the size of their originally intended donation using our Donor Covers Fees option utilized by some Organizations.

For other types of payments

HE is Hope may charge convenience, service, and/or other processing fees to you for making payments.

Your financial institution(s) may also charge fees for processing your payment and/or if you have insufficient funds to cover a payment, and/or for currency conversions. You are solely responsible for these fees and charges.


Currency


Payments are processed using the Organization’s local currency (e.g., for US Organizations, payments are processed in USD). If you utilize a different form of currency from that of an Organization (e.g., the account you make a payment from is in USD and the Organization located in Australia only accepts AUD), payment would be processed in the Organizations form of currency (e.g., AUD in the immediately preceding example) and you (as an Individual) may incur additional fees, which will be charged to your selected payment method (including as part of a recurring payment).


RESPONSIBILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED PAYMENTS AND ERRORS 

Where an Error occurs (as defined below), we will endeavor to rectify the Error if we determine it is solely our fault.

An “Error” is defined as:

AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE

This Agreement to Arbitrate affects your legal rights. Please read carefully. Unless you opt out – the procedure is explained below — this Agreement to Arbitrate will eliminate your right to go to court (except for a small claims court having jurisdiction), the right to bring class or collective actions, and the right to have a jury decide a dispute.

For Organizations

Many concerns can be resolved quickly to your satisfaction by your designated account or customer success representative. For Individuals, many concerns can be resolved quickly to your satisfaction by contacting the associated Organizations who can reach out to us as appropriate. In the event that your concerns are not resolved to your satisfaction and either party desires legal action, you and HE is Hope agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or small claims courts instead of in courts of general jurisdiction.

Our Agreement

You and HE is Hope each agree that any and all disputes or claims that arise out of or in any way relate to this User Agreement, your account with HE is Hope your use of HE is Hope or the corresponding relationship between you, on the one hand, and HE is Hope (including any of its agents, employees, officers, directors, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, on the other hand, including federal and state statutory claims, common law claims, and those based in contract, tort, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HE is Hope may bring any claim relating to infringement of our intellectual property rights in U.S. federal court. This Agreement to Arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate. You acknowledge that your breach of these terms may cause irreparable harm to HE is Hope, the extent of which would be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, you agree that, in addition to any other remedies to which HE is Hope may be legally entitled, HE is Hope will have the right to seek immediate injunctive relief in the event of a breach of these terms by you or any of your officers, employees, consultants, or other agents.

You and HE is Hope agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and d agree otherwise, the arbitrator(s) may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator(s) may award relief (including monetary, injunctive and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s). Any relief awarded cannot affect other HE is Hope users.

Arbitration Procedures

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator or arbitrators instead of a judge or jury, discovery is more limited, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, the arbitrator(s) can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. The arbitrator(s) also must follow the terms of this user agreement as a court would.

You or HE is Hope shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator(s).

The arbitrator(s) will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator(s) shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different HE is Hope users (whether Individuals, Organizations or Developers), but is/are bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same HE is Hope user to the extent required by applicable law. The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, contents or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award.

Costs of Arbitration

Severability

With the exception of any of the provisions in the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief section above, if a court decides that any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. If a court decides that any of the provisions in the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief section above is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall be null and void, but the remainder of this user agreement will continue to apply.

MISCELLANEOUS 

Consumer Fraud Warning


We’re always looking for ways to help keep you even more secure. Here’s some tips to help you avoid fraud:

Know who you’re dealing with. Fraudsters often impersonate someone you know and trust.Guard your personal information. Fraudsters may pretend to be from companies that you do business with and may call or email you claiming to need to verify your personal information.Stay safe online. Don’t send sensitive information such as credit card numbers through email because it’s not secure. Be cautious of unsolicited emails. Many fraudsters impersonate companies or charities. Don’t respond to senders that you don’t know.Resist pressure. Legitimate businesses and charities will not pressure to make a decision nor threaten you with consequences for not responding immediately.Don’t believe promises of easy money. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.Check your credit reports regularly. If you find accounts that don’t belong to you or other incorrect information, follow the credit bureau’s instructions for disputing those items. Everyone can request free copies of their credit reports once a year. Always use common sense when sending money. Only send money for yourself and not for others. Register to get email updates on current scams from the FTC. If you spot a scam, report it to the FTC.

Third Party Services, Integrations and Websites

Our Services allow for integrations with a variety of other software applications that HE is Hope does not own or control (“Third Party Apps”). These integrations may be used for sharing of your information (including Personal Data) or that of others with a Third Party App at your election or that of an Organization acting on behalf of your or other Individuals with whom the Organization has a relationship. The applicable provider of a Third Party App, and not HE is Hope is the party providing access to that Third Party App. HE is Hope does not in any way guarantee the service of any Third Party App, and you agree that you will not hold HE is Hope responsible or liable for any purchases made through, or use of, a Third Party App (directly or indirectly through an Organization or otherwise) under any circumstances. Use of a Third Party App may be subject to additional terms as between you (or the applicable Organization as the case may be) and the provider of the relevant Third Party App. Please carefully review the applicable Third Party App’s privacy policy and other terms before deciding whether to share your information with them.
