2.1 Website Owner

  1. Except as provided in Section 2.1.2, the person who signs up for the Service by opening an Account will be the contracting party (“Website Owner”), for purposes of our Terms and Conditions of Service, and will be the person authorized to use the Account that we may provide to the Website Owner in connection with the Service. You are responsible for ensuring that the name of the Website Owner (including the legal name of the organization owning the Website, if applicable) is clearly visible on the Website.
  2. If you sign up for the Services on behalf of your employer or an organization you work with, the Website Owner will be the employer or organization.

2.2 User Accounts

  1. Depending on your Riseact subscription plan, you may create one or more user accounts (“User Accounts”) to allow others to access the Account. Each User Account must include a full name and a valid email account. With User Accounts, the Website Owner can set permissions and allow others to work in their Account, by establishing the level of access of User Accounts in relation to specific company information (for example, it is possible to restrict access of User Accounts sales information on the Reports page, or block User Accounts from changing general Website settings).

If you do not wish to keep any of your payment accounts active, it is your responsibility to deactivate them. For clarity, PayPal and Stripe are Third Party Services, as defined in Section 9.7.1 of these Terms and Conditions of Service, therefore Riseact will not assume any responsibility for the activation, management and correct functioning of these systems for check- out.

  2. Riseact does not pre-screen the Materials, but reserves the right to refuse/remove Materials from any part of the Services when this is appropriate in its sole discretion.

We at Riseact can decide to whom we make our Services available and we are free to modify them at any time.

You represent and warrant that your Website, your Materials, and the goods and services you sell through the Services are authentic, accurate, and complete, and do not violate any laws, regulations, or third-party rights. For clarity, we specify that Riseact will not have the role of seller or merchant nor will it be in any way responsible for your Website or for the articles and campaigns proposed to supporters through the Services.
  3. You are solely responsible for any goods, campaigns, or services that you offer through the Services (including, without limitation, liability for descriptions, cost examples, prices, rates, calculated taxes, defects, statutory disclosures, regulatory compliance, offers or promotional content) and to comply with any applicable laws or regulations.

5. Payment of Fees and Taxes

  1. You will pay the Online Service Subscription Fees (“Subscription Fees”) and any other applicable fees, including without limitation fees based on the value of donations received with the Website if such your plan, using any payment processor other than Riseact Payments (“Transaction Fees”) and any fees related to the purchase or use of products or services such as Apps, Integrations, Themes, domain, Professional Services, or Third Party Services (“Additional Fees”). Together, the Subscription Fees, Transaction Fees, and Additional Fees are referred to as the "Fees".
  2. To pay all due and recurring Fees you must have a valid payment method registered with us. Riseact will charge the applicable Fees to any valid payment method authorized by you (“Authorised Payment Method”) and will continue to charge the Authorized Payment Method for the applicable Fees until the Services are terminated and until all Fees due will not have been paid in full. Unless otherwise stated, all Fees and other charges are in EUROS and all payments will be made in EUROS.
  3. Subscription Fees are paid in advance and are billed at 30-day intervals (each such date is a "Billing Date"). Transaction Fees and Additional Fees are charged by Riseact from time to time at its sole discretion. On each Billing Date, you will be charged any pending Fees not previously charged. The Commissions will be indicated on the invoice, which will be sent to the Website Owner via the interchange system of the Revenue Agency and via the main email. Additionally, a non-tax report will appear on the Charges page of the website's admin console. Users have approximately two weeks to report and resolve any Subscription Fee billing issues.
  4. If we are unable to process your Fees payment through an Authorized Payment Method, we may attempt to use another Authorized Payment Method. If we fail to successfully process your Fee payment using an Authorized Payment Method within 28 days of your initial attempt, we may suspend and revoke your access to your Account and the Services. Your account will be reactivated after all outstanding Fees have been paid, plus any applicable Fees for the next billing cycle. You may not have access to your Account or Website during the suspension period. If outstanding Fees remain unpaid for 60 days from the date of suspension, Riseact reserves the right to terminate your Account pursuant to Section 14.
  5. All Fees are exclusive of any provincial, state, local, or other governmental sales, goods, and services taxes, harmonized taxes, or other taxes, fees, or charges now in effect or to be introduced in the future (“Taxes").
  6. You are required to pay all taxes that may be due for your Riseact subscription and for the purchase of Riseact products or services. The calculation of Taxes for the purposes of the billing by Riseact is based on the applicable tax rates for the billing address provided by you. The amounts are in addition to Fees for products and services you purchase and will be charged to your Authorized Payment Method. If you are exempt from paying Taxes, you will need to provide us with proof of your exemption, which in some jurisdictions includes an original certificate complying with applicable legal requirements and proving tax exempt status. The tax exemption will only apply from the date we receive sufficient evidence for Riseact regarding your exemption. In the event that Riseact does not charge Taxes, you are responsible for verifying whether there are any Taxes due and, if so, independently repaying them to the competent tax authorities in your jurisdiction.
  7. For the avoidance of doubt, all sums owed by you to Riseact under these Terms and Conditions of Service shall be paid in full and without applying any deduction or withholding. Subject to the Taxes charged to you by Riseact and remitted on your behalf to the competent tax authorities, any deduction or withholding required by law will be your responsibility and paid separately to the competent tax authority. Riseact shall be entitled to charge the Authorized Payment Method the full amount of the Fees set out in these Terms and Conditions of Service, without taking into account any additional deductions or withholdings required by law.
  8. You are solely responsible for determining, collecting, withholding, declaring, and remitting applicable taxes, duties, fees, surcharges, and additional charges in connection with any sale made on your Riseact Website or as a result of your use of the Services. Riseact Services are not a marketplace. Any contract concluded through the Services is concluded directly between you and your supporter or client.
  9. You have the obligation to keep the office indicated in the administration console of your Riseact website up-to-date and correct. If you change jurisdiction, you will need to promptly update your location in the admin console.
  10. Riseact does not offer refunds.

THIS MEANS THAT

All WebSites must have a valid payment method (such as a credit card) registered in their account to cover service charges, including Subscription Fees, Transaction Fees and Additional Fees. Subscription Fees are charged every 30 days. Any Transaction Fees or Additional Fees will be charged to your chosen payment method. If we are unable to charge the Fees payment to your payment method, we will make further attempts. If payment fails within 28 days of the initial charge attempt, Riseact may suspend your Website.
