Terms of Service

Please read these Terms of Service (the “Agreement”) carefully. Your use of the Site (as defined below) constitutes your consent to this Agreement.

This Agreement is between you and NeighborShare, Inc. (“NS,” “we” or “us”) concerning your use of (including any access to) the website currently located at https://nbshare.org/ and any other sites operated by us from which you are accessing this Agreement (together with any materials and services available therein, and successor site(s) thereto, the “Site”). This Agreement hereby incorporates by this reference any additional terms and conditions posted by NS through the Site, or otherwise made available to you by NS.

The Site provides a platform designed to help nonprofit organizations (“Partner Nonprofits”) introduce households or individuals in need (“Recipients”) to Site users who wish to make donations (each, a “Donation”) (such persons, “Donors”). By clicking on a link on the Site, Donors will be directed to a third-party payment platform that will direct Donations to an account held by the Partner Nonprofit. The Site is intended for use only by residents of the United States.

BY USING THE SITE, YOU AFFIRM THAT YOU ARE 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER, HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY AND CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO AND ABIDE BY THIS AGREEMENT, AND HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT.

THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION. THIS PROVISION REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIAL OR CLASS ACTIONS.

IF YOU ARE AN INDIVIDUAL ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE ON BEHALF OF, OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF, ANY CORPORATION, PARTNERSHIP OR OTHER ENTITY WITH WHICH YOU ARE ASSOCIATED (AN “ORGANIZATION”), THEN YOU ARE AGREEING TO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF AND SUCH ORGANIZATION, AND YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ORGANIZATION TO THIS AGREEMENT. References to “you” and “your” in this Agreement will refer to both the individual using the Site and to any such Organization.

1. Partner Nonprofits.

Partner Nonprofits provide Recipient profiles to be featured on the Site, make their own determinations with respect to how Donations are distributed, and are responsible for validating Recipient needs within the communities they serve.

Partner Nonprofits (and not NS) are responsible for distributing Donations to Recipients. Donations facilitated through the Site are to be directed via a third-party payment service to the Partner Nonprofit, and NS does not receive any Donations or funds from Donors.

No agency, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee or franchisor-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement. Partner Nonprofits do not have authority to enter into written or oral — whether implied or express — contracts on behalf of NS.

2. Donations; Reassignment of Certain Donations.

Donors who wish to make Donations will be asked to provide certain relevant information, such as their name, country or region and postal code and payment card number and its expiration date and security code.

By providing such information to make a Donation, Donors:

Represent and warrant that:
- They reside in the United States and have the right to use any payment card submitted in connection with a Donation.
- Donations are not being made to confer a personal or more than incidental benefit on the Donor, any member of the Donor’s family, or any entity affiliated with or controlled by the Donor. No Donation will be made to satisfy a legally binding charitable pledge, to permit participation in an event (such as a dinner, raffle, or auction), or to pay for goods or services received by Donor, Donor’s family member(s) or any other person.
Grant to us the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating Donations.
Acknowledge and agree that:
- Donations will be provided to the Partner Nonprofit corresponding to the Recipient of their choosing via a third party payment service, such as Stripe.
- Donor’s payment card will be charged in the amount of a Donation. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any Donation. The third party payment service will be responsible for providing Donors with a date-stamped receipt of donation.
- The Partner Nonprofit retains exclusive legal control over Donations. While the Partner Nonprofit aims to grant Donations to the Recipient selected by the Donor, in certain cases, the Partner Nonprofit may choose to direct the Donation to a similar household at its discretion (for example, if the needs of the particular Recipient selected by the Donor are already filled).

All Donations are made at Donors’ own risk. Donors may obtain information about Partner Nonprofits by consulting their Site profiles and/or the Partner Nonprofits’ websites.

NS reserves the right, including without prior notice, to bar any user from making any Donation.

3. NeighborShare Disclaimers.

The Site is an administrative platform only. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT NS AND ITS RESPECTIVE FUNDERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, VOLUNTEERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “AFFILIATED ENTITIES”):

ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OF DONATIONS BY PARTNER NONPROFITS, THE ACCURACY OR RELIABILITY OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE SITE, OR DONORS’ INTERACTIONS WITH PARTNER NONPROFITS,
DO NOT VERIFY THE IDENTITY OR CIRCUMSTANCES OF RECIPIENTS AND DO NOT SUPERVISE, DIRECT OR CONTROL PARTNER NONPROFITS OR PARTNER NONPROFITS’ USE OF DONATIONS, AND
EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR THE CONDUCT, ACT OR OMISSIONS, OF ANY PARTNER NONPROFIT IN ANY MANNER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAW, REGULATION OR CODE, AND ANY LIABILITY THAT MAY ARISE BETWEEN DONORS AND PARTNER NONPROFITS.

The NS disclaimers in this section are in addition to the disclaimers made by NS elsewhere in this Agreement.

4. Changes.

We may change this Agreement from time to time by notifying you of such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting a revised Agreement through the Site. Any such changes will not apply to any dispute between you and us arising prior to the date on which we posted the revised Agreement incorporating such changes, or otherwise notified you of such changes. Your use of the Site following any changes to this Agreement will constitute your acceptance of such changes. The “Last Updated” legend above indicates when this Agreement was last changed. We may, at any time and without liability, modify or discontinue all or part of the Site (including access to the Site via any third-party links); charge, modify or waive any fees required to use the Site; or offer opportunities to some or all Site users.

Applicable law may not allow for limitations on certain implied warranties, or exclusions or limitations of certain damages; solely to the extent that such law applies to you, some or all of the above disclaimers, exclusions or limitations may not apply to you, and you may have certain additional rights.

16. Indemnity.

To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless NS and the Affiliated Entities, and their respective successors and assigns, from and against all claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses and fees (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your use of, or activities in connection with, the Site (including Donations); and (b) any violation or alleged violation of this Agreement by you.

17. Termination.

This Agreement is effective until terminated. NS may terminate or suspend your use of the Site at any time and without prior notice, for any or no reason, including if NS believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of this Agreement. Upon any such termination or suspension, your right to use the Site will immediately cease, and NS may, without liability to you or any third party, immediately deactivate or delete your user name, password and account, and all associated materials, without any obligation to provide any further access to such materials. Sections 1-3, 5-10 and 12–22 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

18. Governing Law; Arbitration.

This Agreement is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the United States (including federal arbitration law) and the State of Delaware without regard to its principles of conflicts of law, and regardless of your location.

EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND NS, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND YOU AGREE THAT NS AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY. SUCH DISPUTES INCLUDE, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO INTERPRETATION OR APPLICATION OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, INCLUDING THE ENFORCEABILITY, REVOCABILITY OR VALIDITY OF THE ARBITRATION PROVISION OR ANY PORTION OF THE ARBITRATION PROVISION. ALL SUCH MATTERS SHALL BE DECIDED BY AN ARBITRATOR AND NOT BY A COURT OR JUDGE.

YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended by this Agreement. The Consumer Arbitration Rules are available online at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf . The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of this Agreement and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.

19. Filtering.

We hereby notify you that parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software or filtering services) are commercially available that may assist you in limiting access to material that is harmful to minors. Information identifying current providers of such protections is available from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_content-control_software_and_providers. Please note that NS does not endorse any of the products or services listed on such site.

20. Information or Complaints.

21. Copyright Infringement Claims.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials available on the Site infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send to NS a written notice by mail, e-mail or fax, requesting that NS remove such material or block access to it. If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, the DMCA permits you to send to NS a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. See http://www.copyright.gov/ for details.

22. Miscellaneous.

This Agreement does not, and shall not be construed to, create any partnership, joint venture, employer-employee, agency or franchisor-franchisee relationship between you and NS. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, that provision will be deemed severable from this Agreement and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provision. You may not assign, transfer or sublicense any or all of your rights or obligations under this Agreement without our express prior written consent. We may assign, transfer or sublicense any or all of our rights or obligations under this Agreement without restriction. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns. No waiver by either party of any breach or default under this Agreement will be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. Any heading, caption or section title contained herein is for convenience only, and in no way defines or explains any section or provision. All terms defined in the singular shall have the same meanings when used in the plural, where appropriate and unless otherwise specified. Any use of the term “including” or variations thereof in this Agreement shall be construed as if followed by the phrase “without limitation.” This Agreement, including any terms and conditions incorporated herein, is the entire agreement between you and NS relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements or understandings between you and NS relating to such subject matter. Notices to you (including notices of changes to this Agreement) may be made via posting to the Site or by e-mail (including in each case via links), or by regular mail. Without limitation, a printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. NS will not be responsible for any failure to fulfill any obligation due to any cause beyond its control.
