Improving our services and communication

3. Data Sharing Policy
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

Your data may be shared only with trusted third parties that help us provide the service (for example, payment processors and the providers that deliver our email and text messages), and with a service an Organizer chooses to connect to its organization, as described in our Privacy Policy.

4. Children's Privacy
The Website is not intended for children under 13 years of age.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe your child has submitted information to us, please contact us immediately.

5. Intellectual Property and Infringement Reports
Organizations that use CalendarFundraiser (each an "Organizer") are solely responsible for the content they post, including names, logos, images, and other materials, and must not post content that infringes the intellectual-property rights of others.

If you believe content on the Website infringes your intellectual-property rights, you may submit a report to support@calendarfundraiser.com or through our Contact Us page. Please include:

- Your full name, organization (if any), and your relationship to the rights holder;
- Your contact email, phone (optional), and mailing address;
- A description of the intellectual property at issue (for example, a trademark and its registration number, or a copyrighted work) and proof of ownership where available;
- The location of the allegedly infringing material (campaign URL, organization name, or a screenshot);
- A description of how the material infringes your rights;
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or the law; and
- A statement that the information in your report is accurate and that you are the rights holder or are authorized to act on the rights holder's behalf, together with your signature (typed name) and the date.

We acknowledge infringement reports within one to two business days and review each report. Where infringement is identified, we may remove or disable the infringing content, take the affected campaign offline, and/or suspend or terminate the Organizer's account. We notify the affected Organizer, who may submit a counter-statement; we may restore content if the matter is resolved or withdrawn. We maintain a repeat-infringer policy and will terminate the accounts of Organizers who repeatedly infringe intellectual-property rights.

6. Payments, Payouts, Refunds, and Chargebacks
Donations are processed by third-party payment providers (such as Stripe and Square). When an Organizer connects a payout account, donation funds settle directly into that Organizer's own connected payment account. Calendar day amounts are paid to the Organizer in full. If an Organizer connects a payment account created outside CalendarFundraiser (for example, an existing Stripe account connected through Stripe's own sign-in), that provider's processing fees apply to the Organizer's account and are deducted by the provider before funds reach the Organizer; CalendarFundraiser cannot pay those fees on the Organizer's behalf. Organizers who set up their payout account through CalendarFundraiser have the provider's processing fee on calendar donations paid by CalendarFundraiser. Where a donor adds an optional "boost" on top of a donation, or where an Organizer prices calendar days above face value using a multiplier, CalendarFundraiser retains a platform share of twenty-seven and nine-tenths percent (27.9%) of the amount above face value plus 2.9% for card processing; the remainder is paid to the Organizer. Donor service fees are paid by the donor in addition to the donation and are retained by CalendarFundraiser. The donor service fee is determined by the highest-numbered calendar date in the checkout — currently $1 for the 1st, $2 for the 2nd and 3rd, $3 for the 4th, $4 for the 5th through 7th, $5 for the 8th through 19th, $6 for the 20th through 25th, and $7 for the 26th through 31st — plus $3 for each additional date claimed in the same checkout. The fee includes third-party card-processing costs, may be rounded up to the next whole dollar, and is displayed to the donor before payment. CalendarFundraiser may update this schedule from time to time; the amount shown at checkout governs. The Organizer is the merchant of record for donations made to its campaigns and is solely responsible for the underlying fundraiser, for any goods, services, or benefits it offers to donors, and for handling all donor questions, refunds, disputes, and chargebacks relating to its campaigns.

Payout timing and reserves. To help cover potential refunds, disputes, and chargebacks, payouts to an Organizer's bank account may be delayed for a period after each donation (for example, several business days). We (or our payment providers) may adjust payout timing, place holds, or require reserves where reasonably necessary to manage risk, and may pause payouts on accounts with unusual dispute or chargeback activity.

Refunds and card processing. When a refund is issued by an Organizer or at an Organizer's request, the payer receives the amount of the donation or sponsorship back; service fees paid by a sponsor are not refundable. The payment provider does not return its processing fee on the original payment; that fee is borne by the Organizer, and CalendarFundraiser's share of the refunded payment is returned to the Organizer less that processing fee. Refunds that CalendarFundraiser issues on its own initiative return the full amount paid and CalendarFundraiser's share in full.

Organizer responsibility for losses. The Organizer is responsible for all refunds, chargebacks, disputes, reversals, fines, and negative balances arising from donations to its campaigns. If CalendarFundraiser or its payment providers are required to advance, cover, or become liable for any such amount on the Organizer's behalf — including any associated fees or penalties — the Organizer agrees to promptly reimburse those amounts in full. The Organizer authorizes CalendarFundraiser and its payment providers to recover such amounts by deducting them from the Organizer's current or future payout balances or connected account, by charging a payment method on file, or by other lawful means. This obligation survives termination of the Organizer's account.

Donors. If you are a donor and wish to request a refund or dispute a donation, please first contact the Organizer of the campaign or reach us at support@calendarfundraiser.com so we can help resolve the matter.

Sponsorships. A business may buy a sponsor spot on one calendar or the presenting-sponsor placement for one campaign (see the Sponsor Terms at calendarfundraiser.com/sponsor/terms, which form part of these Terms). Sponsorships are paid through the Organizer's own connected Stripe or Square account, so the Organizer is the merchant of record for them as for donations. For a sponsor spot, the sponsor pays $100 per unit plus one $7 service fee per sponsorship; the Organizer receives $70 per unit and CalendarFundraiser retains $30 per unit and the $7 fee, out of which CalendarFundraiser pays card processing. For the presenting sponsor, the sponsor pays $496 plus one $15 checkout fee; the Organizer receives $300 and CalendarFundraiser retains $211 (its $196 share and the $15 fee), out of which it pays card processing. A presenting sponsor may choose to give more, up to a $2,000 sponsorship: each additional $496 adds $300 for the Organizer and $196 for CalendarFundraiser, and each additional $100 adds $70 for the Organizer and $30 for CalendarFundraiser, with the single $15 checkout fee unchanged. All amounts are shown to the sponsor before payment. An Organizer may refund a sponsor spot in full within seven (7) days of payment from its dashboard; after that, and for presenting sponsorships, refunds are at CalendarFundraiser's discretion on request to support@calendarfundraiser.com. A refund returns the full amount paid, including CalendarFundraiser's share. A sponsorship is a payment for a placement, not a donation; CalendarFundraiser makes no statement about its tax treatment. CalendarFundraiser reviews every sponsor's name, line, link and logo before the link or logo appears, and may pause or remove any placement, with or without refund, that breaks the Sponsor Terms. A card dispute on a sponsorship takes the placement off the page while the dispute is open.

7. Acceptable Use of Fundraising Campaigns
CalendarFundraiser is for genuine donation-based fundraising: supporters claim calendar dates and give the corresponding amount, with nothing promised in return. To comply with the law and the rules of our payment providers (including Stripe and Square), the following are prohibited on any campaign:

- Raffles, sweepstakes, lotteries, or any game of chance or skill offering prizes, entries, or winnings in exchange for a donation. A donation may never be positioned as the purchase of a chance to win something.
- Selling goods or services through a campaign page. Campaigns collect donations only; they are not storefronts.
- Fundraising for any business, product, or category on a payment provider's prohibited or restricted list (such as Stripe's Prohibited and Restricted Businesses list), including (without limitation) adult content or services, marijuana/CBD/THC products, weapons, illegal drugs, or gambling.
- Personal money transfer disguised as fundraising — using a campaign to move money between individuals or entities other than bona fide donations to the stated cause.
- Misrepresenting the Organizer's identity, the cause, or how funds will be used.

CalendarFundraiser reviews campaigns and may pause or remove any campaign, withhold publishing, or suspend or terminate an Organizer's account — with or without notice — where we reasonably believe a campaign violates this section, the law, or a payment provider's rules. Where a payment provider requires it, we may also share campaign information with that provider. If you are unsure whether your fundraiser is permitted, contact support@calendarfundraiser.com before publishing.

8. AI Assistant Access
Organizers may connect third-party AI assistants (such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok) to their CalendarFundraiser organization through our AI access feature. By authorizing a connection — via the consent screen or by creating an access key — the Organizer permits that assistant, within the permissions the Organizer grants, to read the organization's campaign data (campaign details, donation records without donor contact information, participant rosters, and share links), to create and update draft campaigns, to add participants and invite-list contacts, and to prepare messages that an Organizer must approve in the dashboard before anything is sent. Connected assistants can never publish campaigns, issue refunds, change payout or bank settings, send communications through CalendarFundraiser, delete data, or access donor email addresses or phone numbers. The Organizer is responsible for the AI assistants they authorize and can revoke any connection or key at any time from Settings → AI Access; revoked access ends immediately for keys and within one hour for active assistant sessions. CalendarFundraiser is not responsible for how a third-party AI service uses, stores, or displays data the Organizer authorizes it to access — review the AI provider's own terms and privacy policy.

9. Referral Program
CalendarFundraiser may offer a referral program under which an Organizer (the "Referrer") who refers a new organization (the "Referred Organization") can earn rewards. Rewards are paid as donations to the Referrer's own live year-round calendar and are subject to all of the following:

- Reward amount. For every full $500 in settled donations the Referred Organization's qualifying campaign raises from at least fifteen (15) distinct supporters, the Referrer earns a $100 reward, up to a maximum of $496 per Referred Organization and per Referrer per calendar year. Amounts below a full $500 increment earn nothing.
- Qualifying campaigns. A qualifying campaign is a fundraising calendar (including holiday, school, sports, and celebration templates) using standard 2x or higher date pricing. Program calendars (dues, fees, and signups) do not qualify.
- Timing. The first $100 becomes payable approximately 30 days after the qualifying campaign first crosses $500 in settled donations; any remainder becomes payable in a single true-up approximately 30 days after the campaign ends, provided no disputes, refunds, or chargebacks reduce the settled total below the corresponding threshold.
- Payment requirements. To receive any reward, the Referrer must maintain a live year-round calendar on CalendarFundraiser — the calendar rewards are paid to — and that calendar must be embedded on a public website the Referrer controls (organizational or personal) or linked from a pinned public post on the Referrer's Facebook page. If these requirements are not met within 90 days of a reward becoming payable, the reward is forfeited.
- Eligibility rules. The Referred Organization must be a new organization created through the Referrer's referral link within 30 days of clicking it. Attribution is first-touch and permanent. Self-referrals — including organizations under common control or sharing owners, payout accounts, or contact details — are prohibited. Employees and contractors of Calendar Fundraiser L.L.C. and their organizations are ineligible. The Referred Organization's campaign must qualify within 90 days of signup. A Referrer may have at most ten (10) open referrals at a time. Referral rewards do not combine with any other promotion or credit. The program is available to U.S. organizations only.
- Program changes. CalendarFundraiser may modify, suspend, or terminate the referral program at any time and may deny, revoke, or reclaim any reward where we reasonably believe fraud, self-dealing, or a violation of these Terms has occurred. Rewards are forfeited on account termination for cause. All qualification and payment decisions are made by CalendarFundraiser and are final.

10. Text Messages (SMS)
Participants who join a campaign can choose to receive text messages from Calendar Fundraiser LLC about their own fundraising page, sent on behalf of the organization running the campaign. Opting in is optional: it happens only by entering a mobile number and checking a separate, unchecked consent box on the join page, and it is never required to join.

- What you will receive: account notification messages about your fundraising page, such as your personal link, reminders to share it, and campaign updates. We do not send promotional offers.
- How often: message frequency varies.
- Cost: message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile plan.
- Opt out: reply STOP to any message at any time. You will receive one confirmation and no further texts unless you opt in again.
- Help: reply HELP to any message, email support@calendarfundraiser.com, or call 1-800-363-7541.
- Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Your mobile number and consent are handled as described in the Text Messages section of our Privacy Policy.
