Information for Contributors for Publicly Available Content

All users, contributing to publicly available content, are required to grant broad permission to the general public to re-distribute and re-use their contributions freely, as long as the use is attributed and the same freedom to re-use and re-distribute applies to any derivative works.

As an author, you agree to be attributed in any of the following manners: (a) through a hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article or articles you contributed to; (b) through a hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy of the article which is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on this website; or (c) through a list of all authors. (Any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions.)

If you import text under a compatible license which requires attribution, you must, in a reasonable manner, credit the author(s). Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. Regardless of the license, the text you import may be rejected if the required attribution is deemed too intrusive.

From time to time, Fundraisingkit may modify these KITPay Terms in the same manner in which the Term of Service may be modified in accordance with the terms thereof. 

1. SUMMARY OF KITPay SERVICE

1.1 Overview

KITPay allows you to accept payments via credit card, debit card, ACH, and a variety of other payment applications including, but not limited to, processing cards bearing the trademarks of Visa®, MasterCard®, Discover®, and American Express® and utilizing the payment applications from Apple Pay®, Google Pay® and other payment applications (collectively, the “Networks”). KITPay will collect, transmit, and store data for payment processing with third-party payment gateway services providers (“Payment Gateways”) and payment processors (“Payment Processors”). We will use your constituents’ and/or customers’ (“Constituents”) customer and online financial transaction data (“Transaction Data“) only in the provisioning of KITPay; provided, however, we may use the Transaction Data in an aggregate form combined with the data of other Fundraisingkit clients for statistical analysis and reporting. Fundraisingkit is not a depository institution and does not offer banking services or Money Service Business services as these terms are defined by the United States Department of Treasury, the Bank of Canada, or other similar governmental or regulator bodies.  You are not a third party beneficiary under, nor do you have any rights under, our contracts with third parties including Payment Gateways, Payment Processors, Networks, or banks.

1.2 Processing Agreement.  

Fundraisingkit processes payments you receive from your donors, members, constituents, or other contacts via KITPay. In order to serve in this role, we must enter into agreements with Networks, Payment Processors, Payment Gateways, and banks. These third parties require customers of KITPay to enter into a Sub-Merchant Agreement with the Payment Processor(s) of record (each, a “Sub-Merchant Agreement”) and use of KITPay requires your acceptance of these relevant Sub-Merchant Agreements. As of the date of these KITPay Terms, Fundraisingkit uses Payrix Solutions, as a Payment Processor and its Sub-Merchant Agreement is located at (https://portal.payrix.com/terms).  Fundraisingkit also uses Apple Pay® Google Pay® as payment methods, and their terms and conditions can be found at https://payments.developers.google.com/terms/sellertos and https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/terms/apple-pay-web/. By accepting these KITPay Terms and using KITPay, you acknowledge and agree that you have read and accepted, and agree to be bound by and comply with, such applicable Sub-Merchant Agreement and payment method terms, as may be amended from time to time without prior notice to you. We may change, replace, or terminate the services of any Payment Gateway and/or Payment Processor upon notice to you. In the event of replacement of a Payment Gateway and/or Payment Processor, or the addition of a payment method, you understand and agree that you may be required to execute additional terms and conditions associated with such a replacement. You acknowledge and agree that your continued use of KITPay constitutes your agreement to such additional terms and conditions and you will be subject to such revised terms. You further understand and agree that any breach by you of any Sub-Merchant Agreement or any agreement with any Payment Gateway, Payment Processor, payment method or the like shall be deemed to be a breach by you of these KITPay Terms.

You agree that NFC may, without prior notice to you, debit your bank account for the full amount of any negative or debit balance including chargebacks and reversals if at the end of any disbursement there is a negative or debit balance in your KITPay account. If NFC is unable to collect on any refunds and/or chargebacks using offset of your disbursement or debit of your bank account, NFC shall have the right to invoice you any unpaid balance which shall be subject to interest that NFC is entitled to charge pursuant to the Terms of Service.

You acknowledge and agree that in addition to other rights afforded to NFC under these KITPay Terms, NFC may establish a reserve account to satisfy any of your actual or potential delinquent obligations under these KITPay Terms, including any Additional Terms, or any other agreement between you and NFC Fundraisingkit (the “Reserve Account”). NFC may (but is not required to) apply funds in the Reserve Account toward and may set off any funds that would otherwise be payable to you against the satisfaction of any amounts which are due from you. The Reserve Account will not bear interest, and you will have no right or interest in the funds in the Reserve Account. Upon satisfaction of all your obligations under such agreements, NFC will pay to you any funds then remaining in the Reserve Account. Any funds in the Reserve Account may be commingled with other funds and need not be maintained in a separate account. The parties’ rights and obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of the Agreement.
