(a) Registration
To use certain portions of the Services, such as our payment round-up Services, you must register an account with us (“Account”).

If you register an Account with us, you agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete Information about yourself and your organization. We retain the right to suspend or terminate your Account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service and Content (or any portion thereof) if you provide any untrue, inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete information, or if we reasonably suspect that you have done so.
 
(c) Use of Information
Certain features of the Site, Services, or Account registration allow or require you to upload or otherwise submit to the Site certain types of text, graphics, data, records, notes, and other information, some of which may contain your personally identifiable information or proprietary information, such as trademarks or copyrightable content (collectively, the “Information”). You hereby grant us and all other persons or entities involved in the operation of the Site, and any of our affiliates or business partners, an irrevocable, unconditional, royalty-free, non-exclusive, right and license to transmit, monitor, retrieve, store, display and use your Information in connection with operation of the Site, provision of the Services, for analytic uses, and for commercial purposes "License Granted."

If you register an Account with us, the Services associated with your Account are generally accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except for reasonable periods of time for system maintenance. We are not liable under these Terms for failure to provide access due to a system failure or due to other unforeseen acts. Even in cases where notification is usually required, we may modify, suspend, or terminate access to certain portions of the Services or your Account at any time and for any reason without prior notice, in order to protect the system or your Account. We will give you notice in other situations if required by law.
 
Account Password and Security
You are responsible for taking all reasonable steps to ensure that no unauthorized person obtains access to your passwords or other credentials for accessing your Account. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your credentials or Account. It is your sole responsibility to (1) control the dissemination and use of activation codes and passwords; (2) authorize, monitor, and control access to and use of your Account and password; (3) promptly inform us of any need to deactivate a password; and (4) access your Account over a secure Internet connection. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.

Service Term and Payment Dates
During your Account Term, Hello Donor will charge the Fees to your credit card on the same day each calendar month for monthly Accounts, and on the anniversary of each Effective Date for yearly accounts (“Payment Date”). If you cancel your Account before a Payment Date, you will not receive a refund, and no further charges will be made to your Account on the following Payment Date or thereafter.
 
Service Fee Authorization and Processing
You hereby authorize Hello Donor to charge your credit card or bank account on the Effective Date and on each subsequent Payment Date for payment of your Fees. You understand that your authorization will remain in effect until you cancel it either in writing or by terminating your Account. If the above noted Payment Date(s) fall on a weekend or holiday, you understand that the payments may be executed on the next business day. For ACH debits to your checking or savings account, you understand that because these are electronic transactions, these funds may be withdrawn from your account as soon as the above noted Payment Dates. In the case of an ACH Transaction being rejected for Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF), you understand that Hello Donor may, at its discretion, attempt to process the charge again within thirty (30) days, and you agree to an additional $35.00 charge for each attempt returned NSF which will be initiated as a separate transaction from the authorized recurring payment. You acknowledge that the origination of ACH transactions to your bank account must comply with the provisions of U.S. law. You certify that you are an authorized user of the credit card or bank account you identify to us, and you will not dispute these scheduled transactions with your bank or credit card company, so long as the transactions correspond to the terms indicated in these Terms or in any authorization form you provide to Hello Donor.
 

Failed Charges
If Hello Donor is unable to process charges to your credit card, or if charges for the Fees are refused by your credit card provider or bank, your Account may enter a collection process. You will then have ten (10) days to process payment to us. If you have not effected payment to us within this time frame, we may suspend or terminate your Account or the Services. If your Account has been terminated, you may reactivate it for the purpose of processing final payment.
 
Disputed Charges
In the event that an end user authorizes a round-up donation to your Account and the end user thereafter disputes the transaction with the end user’s bank or credit provider, the donation transaction will be reversed, and Hello Donor will assess a $30.00 chargeback fee to your Account. You hereby approve any such chargeback fees and authorize Hello Donor to deduct such amounts from the balance in your Account as part of the Fees.
