See our Privacy Policy.

DONOR CONDUCT
Donations: In order to contribute to a Fundraiser or to a Charity, a Donor will be required to provide CommunityFundMe information regarding the Donor’s debit/credit card or other payment instrument (“Payment Instrument”) that is linked to the Donor’s CommunityFundMe account (a “Billing Account”). You, as a Donor, represent and warrant to Community Fund Me that such information is true, current and accurate and that you are authorized to use the applicable Payment Instrument. You agree that a certain minimum Donation amount may apply, and that all Donations are final and will not be refunded unless CommunityFundMe, in its sole discretion, agrees to issue a refund, for example in accordance with the CommunityFundMe Giving Guarantee. CommunityFundMe uses third-party payment processing partners to bill you through your Payment Instrument and Billing Account for any Donations made, and Donors acknowledge that by contributing a Donation to a Fundraiser, the Donor agrees to the processing, use, transfer or disclosure of data by the Payment Processors pursuant to these Terms and conditions of Service as well as any and all applicable terms set forth by our payment partners. For a list of our current Payment Processors and links to their terms and conditions of service, please see the PAYMENT PROCESSORS section below.

Some of the reasons that we may take such actions include, but are not limited to, our belief or determination, in our sole and absolute discretion, that: (i) information provided by a Fundraiser is false, misleading, or fraudulent, or funds are being used in a prohibited manner; (ii) the funds available should be provided directly to a person other than the Fundraiser , such as a legal beneficiary or person entitled by law to act on behalf of the Fundraiser ; (iii) a Fundraiser has violated these Terms and Conditions of Service; (iv) the Fundraiser is colluding with Donors to engage in fraudulent activity; (v) there may be suspicious or fraudulent Donation activity; or (vi) such action(s) is required to comply with a court order, subpoena, writ, injunction, or as otherwise required under applicable laws and regulations. If you have questions about a Hold we may have placed on your Fundraiser account, or need information about how to resolve the Hold, contact us at legal@afripointconsult.com

CommunityFundMe may, at any time, for verification failure or any reason with regards to failure of identification of the fundraiser(s) and/or beneficiaries, without notice, and in its sole discretion, offer or issue a refund of Donation(s) to donors with or without consulting with you, which may comprise the entire amount donated to your Fundraiser. CommunityFundMe is not liable to you or to any third party for any claims, damages, costs, losses, or other consequences caused by CommunityFundMe issuing refunds, including, but not limited to transaction fees.
PAYMENT PROCESSORS
CommunityFundMe uses Payment Processors to process Donations for your Fundraiser and thereafter deliver it to you. In order to withdraw funds from a Fundraiser, if not the same, Beneficiary (collectively “Withdrawing Entity”) will be required to provide the Payment Processor information regarding bank account information (“Withdrawing Account”). You, as Withdrawing Entity, represent and warrant to Payment Processor and CommunityFundMe that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the applicable Withdrawing Account.
By setting up a Fundraiser or accepting the role of Beneficiary to a Fundraiser, the Withdrawing Entity agrees to the processing, use, transfer or disclosure of data by the Payment Processors pursuant to these Terms and Conditions as well as any and all applicable terms set forth by the applicable Payment Processors.
Payment Processors for Charities: Community Fund Me has partnered with Flutterwave, Gt Squad for Donations to Charities. Although exceptions can be made, Charities in other African countries will be defaulted to using Flutterwave to process Donations made through the Services. The manner in which transactions are processed is explained below.;
A. Flutterwave
i. Except as noted above, Flutterwave is the Payment Processor for Fundraisers with a Charity identified as a Beneficiary.
ii. All Donations made through those Fundraisers will be accepted by Flutterwave. Flutterwave Giving Fund receives Donations from Users as the charity of record and then, to the extent it is able, grants Funds to the Charity selected by the Fundraiser and identified in the Fundraiser. While Flutterwave Giving Fund takes multiple steps to attempt to grant donated funds according to the Donor’s identified preference, Flutterwave Giving Fund retains exclusive control over all Donations. If a Charity fails to meet the terms of Flutterwave Giving Fund’s Non-profit Certification Policy and/or fails to meet Flutterwave Giving Fund’s due diligence standards for receipt of a donation at any time, Flutterwave Giving Fund may reassign the funds in accordance with its policy. When Flutterwave Giving Fund receives your Donation, it will forward the Donation to the Charity of your choice, but Flutterwave Giving Fund will appear on your tax receipt. Donations made through Flutterwave Giving Fund are governed by the Privacy Policy and User Agreement of Flutterwave.

DISPUTES
ARBITRATION CLAUSE & CLASS ACTION WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
Arbitration; Class Action Waiver: YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US OR ANY OF OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR EMPLOYEES ACTING IN THEIR CAPACITY AS SUCH (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DISPUTE INVOLVES A THIRD PARTY) WITH REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISPUTES RELATED TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITION OF SERVICE, YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, AND/OR RIGHTS OF PRIVACY AND/OR PUBLICITY, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU AND WE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING OUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms and conditions will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either of us to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (iv) file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
The Process: Any arbitration between you and us will be settled under the appropriate Arbitration Act and administered through The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, (Chapter 18, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria) 2004, and this is applicable over the federation except for Lagos state, which has its law, The Lagos State Arbitration Law, 2009 (LSAL)
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party via a certified Nigerian mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Our current address for Notice is: Community Fund Me Copyright Agent:
Community Fund Me; legal@afripointconsult.com
The Notice of Arbitration must: (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to work with you and make a good faith effort to resolve the claim directly, but if we are not successful within 60 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by either of us must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount which exceeds the last written settlement amount offered by us in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, we will pay to you the lower of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; or (b) the amount to be determined by the board of Community Fund Me. The Arbitration award shall be final and conclusive between parties.
Fees: Each party is liable for payment of legal, filing and other expenses relating to such matters.
No Class Actions: YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Modifications to this Arbitration Provision: If we make any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to our address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to our address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with us will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
Enforceability: If this Disputes section is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Disputes section will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in the General section below will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms and conditions of Service.
Confidentiality: We each agree to keep the arbitration proceedings, all information exchanged between us, and any settlement offers confidential, unless otherwise required by law or requested by law enforcement or any court or governmental body. However, we may each disclose these matters, in confidence, to our respective accountants, auditors, and insurance providers.
TERMINATION
You agree that Community Fund Me, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or your access to the Services and remove and discard any User Content or data at any time and for any reason, with or without notice, and without any liability to you or to any third party for any claims, damages, costs or losses resulting therefrom.
USER DISPUTES
You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other User in connection with the Services and Community Fund Me will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. Community Fund Me reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any disputes between you and any other User of the Services.
GENERAL
These Terms and conditions of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and CommunityFundMe and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and CommunityFundMe with respect to the Services. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions of service that may apply when you use affiliate or third-party services, third-party content or third-party software. These Terms and conditions of Service will be governed by the laws of Nigeria without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and CommunityFundMe agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Nigeria and respective African countries. The failure of CommunityFundMe to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms and conditions of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms and conditions of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be (or are otherwise) invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms and conditions of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or these Terms and conditions of Service must be filed within Six (6) months after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will 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. You may not assign these Terms and conditions of Service without the prior written consent of CommunityFundMe, but CommunityFundMe may assign or transfer these Terms and conditions of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. If we fail to enforce any of our rights, that does not result in a waiver of that right. Notices to you may be made via email or regular mail. The Services may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms and conditions of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Platform. CommunityFundMe may, at any time, assign our rights or delegate our obligations hereunder without notice to you in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of equity or assets, or by operation of law or otherwise. Nothing in these Terms and conditions of Service shall prevent CommunityFundMe from complying with the law. CommunityFundMe shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war or threats of war, terrorism or threats of terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, governmental regulation or advisory, recognized health threats, as determined by the World Health Organization, the Nigeria Center for Disease Control and/or in Center for Disease control in other nations, or local government authority or health agencies, strikes or shortages or curtailment of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.
