(collectively, the GoFundMe Platform, including any new features and applications, the \"GoFundMe Services\"), and (b) the GoFundMe Charity platform to charities through its website at www.charity.gofundme.com and attendant mobile applications (the “GFM Charity Platform”), the GoFundMe Charity widget (“GFM Charity Widget”) and the related services of both the GFM Charity Platform and GFM Charity Widget (collectively, the GFM Charity Platform and GFM Charity Widget, and related services, the “GFM Charity Services”).\nIf you are a campaign organizer (as defined below), beneficiary to a campaign, comment contributor, or donor (collectively referred to herein as a “User”) located in the United States, you are contracting with GoFundMe, Inc., 855 Jefferson Avenue, PO Box 1329, Redwood City, CA, 94063.\nIf you are a User located outside of the United States but not in Australia, you are contracting with GoFundMe Ireland, Ltd., 70 Sir John Rogerson Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland.\nIf you are a User located in Australia, you are contracting with GoFundMe Australia PTY Ltd., Tower One – International Towers Sydney, Level 46, 100 Barangaroo Avenue, 2000, Sydney,

from donors (\"Donors\").\nGFM Charity Services Description: The GFM CharityServices are offered as a platform to allow a Campaign Organizer to accept Donations from Donors for a charitable purpose.\nThis means that, in connection with GFM Charity, either the Campaign Organizer or Beneficiary must be a non-profit organization and established as such under the applicable laws of incorporation (“Charities”).\nFor example, in the United States, the Campaign Organizer for GFM Charity Services must be a 501(c)(3), (c)(4) or other non-profit organization, raising funds for a charitable purpose.\nPayment Processor: GoFundMe is not a payment processor and does not hold any funds.\nInstead, GoFundMe uses third-party payment processing partners to process Donations for a Campaign (“Payment Processor”).\nYou acknowledge and agree that the use of Payment Processors are integral to the Services and that we exchange information with Payment Processors in order to facilitate the provision of Services.\nPayment Processor Fees: Although there are no fees to set up a Campaign, industry-standard payment processor fees apply (hereinafter and on the website referred to as \"Payment Processor Fees\").\nTo learn more about the GoFundMe Platform, the GFM Charity Platform and applicable Payment Processor Fees for each, visit GoFundMe Pricing and GFM Charity Pricing.\nThe Services are platforms; We are not a Broker, Financial Institution, Creditor or Charity: The Services are administrative platforms only.\nGoFundMe facilitates the Campaign of the

such information or content.\nNo content is intended to provide financial, legal, tax or other professional advice.\nBefore making any decisions regarding any Campaigns, Charities, Donations, Donors, or any information or content relating to the Services, you should consult your financial, legal, tax or other professional advisor as appropriate.\nYou acknowledge that all information and content accessed by you using the Services is at your own risk.\nGoFundMe has no control over the conduct of, or any information provided by, a User and hereby disclaims all liability in this regard to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.\nWe do not guarantee that a Campaign will obtain a certain amount of Donations or any Donations at all.\nWe do not endorse any Campaign, User, or cause and we make no guarantee, express or implied, that any information provided through the Services is accurate.\nWe expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility for the outcome or success of any Campaign.\nYou, as a Donor, must make the final determination as to the value and appropriateness of contributing to any User, Campaign, or event.\nNo Solicitation: The GoFundMe and GFM Charity Platforms (collectively “Platforms”) are offered to help Campaign Organizers raise money.\nGoFundMe merely provides the technology to allow fundraisers to connect with Donors.\nThe existence of the Services is not a solicitation of donations by GoFundMe, and GoFundMe does not engage in any solicitation activities, or consult on the solicitation of contributions from the public, on behalf of any individual, entity, or organization.\nBy using the Services, you understand and agree that GoFundMe shall not be responsible for the use of your donations or the amount of funds raised for the User, Campaign, or event.\nDonors: All Donations are at your own risk.\nWhen you make a Donation through either of the Platforms, it is your responsibility to understand how your money will be used.\nGoFundMe is not responsible for any offers, promises, rewards or promotions made or offered by Users or Campaigns.\nWe do not and cannot verify the information that Users or Campaigns supply, nor do we represent or guarantee that the Donations will be used in accordance with any fundraising purpose prescribed by a User or Campaign or in accordance with applicable laws.\nNotwithstanding the foregoing, we take possible fraudulent activity and the misuse of funds raised very seriously.\nYou can learn more about our Fraud Policy.\nIf you have reason to believe that a User or Campaign is not raising or using the funds for their stated purpose, please use the \"Report\" button on the Campaign to alert our team of this potential issue and we will investigate.\nIf you are a donor, you may also be covered by the GoFundMe Guarantee.\nDonors are not permitted to impose restrictions on the use of Donations by a Charity or Event Organizer.\nTo the extent that a Donation is made in response to an appeal for a particular program of a Charity or Event Organizer, or to the extent that a Donor purports to direct the use of Donations by a Charity or Event Organizer, any such directions shall constitute non-binding recommendations only and the Charity or Event Organizer shall have full discretion to determine how all Donations will be used.\nGoFundMe makes no representation as to whether all or any portion of your Donations, including, if any, Payment Processor Fees, are tax deductible or eligible for tax credits.\nGoFundMe will have no liability for any claim by any federal, state, provincial, territorial, local or any other tax authority with respect to the characterization on any applicable tax return of any Donation by you, any User or any Charity.\nYou should consult your tax advisor as to the amount of your Donation that is tax deductible or eligible for tax recognition, having regard to (among other things) the tax status of the recipient of any Donation in any relevant jurisdiction, and particularly if you are awarded a gift or prize in connection with your Donation.\nDonors shall provide GoFundMe with such information as is required to enable the issuing of an official Donation receipt.\nDonor acknowledges and agrees that, in accordance with the Privacy Policy, certain of Donor’s personal information will be shared with the Charity to which such Donor makes a donation (including without limitation as part of a Donor List, as set forth above) and may be used by such Charity in accordance with the Charity’s Privacy Policy.\nGoFundMe is not responsible, and shall not be liable, for any Charity’s use of any Donor information.\nCertain states require written disclosures for Charities soliciting contributions.\nFor donors making donations to Charities, please see the state non-profit disclosures for those charities.\nCampaign Organizer: You, as a Campaign Organizer, represent, warrant, and covenant that (i) all information you provide

be given to and/or spent on behalf of the Beneficiary; (iv) if you add a Beneficiary through the Services, you relinquish control of the Donations, including the ability to issue refunds; (v) you will not infringe the rights of others; (vi) you will comply with all relevant and applicable law and financial reporting obligations, including but not limited to laws and regulations relating to registration, tax reporting, political contributions, and asset disclosures for your project; and (vii) to the extent you share with us any personal data of any third party for any purpose, including the names, email addresses and phone numbers of your personal contacts, you have the authority (including any necessary consents), as required under applicable law, to provide us with such personal data and allow us to use such personal data for the purposes for which you shared it with us.\nYou authorize GoFundMe, and GoFundMe reserves the right to, provide information relating to your Campaign to Donors, beneficiaries of your Campaign or law enforcement, and to assist in any investigation thereof.\nIf you use the Services as an agent of a Charity using the services to raise funds for such Charity, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are a representative of the Charity, which representative is authorized to raise funds or bind the Charity to these Terms of Service; (b) you are raising funds for a Charity, with a cause or activity that is legal under all applicable federal, state, provincial, territorial and local laws and regulations; (c) all donated funds will be used solely for the purpose you have stated on and in connection with your Campaign, and under no circumstances may you use the funds for any other purpose; (d) your Charity has and will maintain tax-exempt status under applicable law (example, the Internal Revenue Code in the United States or the Income Tax Act in Canada; or (e) if your Charity is in the United States, your Charity is registered with GuideStar or the IRS tax exempt organization database, or, in Canada, is listed in the Canada Revenue Agency's database of registered charities.\nYour Registration Obligations: You may be required to register with GoFundMe in order to access and use certain features of the Services.\nIf you choose to register for the Services, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself or your Charity as prompted by the Services' registration form.\nCampaign Organizers must register using their true identities (or the identities of the Charities’ authorized representatives), including their name, address and any image or video purporting to depict the Campaign Organizer or the Beneficiary of such campaign.\nYou agree to keep registration information current and up to date.\nRegistration data and certain other information about you are governed by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy.\nIf you are under 13 years of age (16 in Europe), you are not authorized to use the Services, with or without registering.\nIn addition, if you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction (typically 18 or 19 years of age), you may use the Services, with or without registering, only with the approval of your parent or guardian.\nCertain aspects of our Services may also require you to register with, and agree to the terms of, third-party service providers (e.g., Payment Processors), with whom GoFundMe has entered into contracts, in order to be able to benefit from their services.\nIf GoFundMe or one of our payments processors at any time discovers that the information you provided about you or the purpose of your Campaign is incorrect or violates any of these Terms of Service or their terms of service, the Services may be suspended and/or terminated with immediate effect and fines may be applied by the relevant authorities which will in all such cases be payable by you.\nYou acknowledge and agree that

refunded to the Donor by PayPal Giving Fund and PayPal Giving Fund already remitted payment to the Charity, PayPal Giving Fund will deduct the chargebacks or refunds from future payments to the Charity, and if necessary, issue an invoice to the applicable Charity.\nThe applicable Charity expressly agrees that it will be responsible for paying PayPal Giving Fund the full amount of any Donation refund due to a Donor.\nPayPal Giving Fund may elect to offset a future Donation rather than requesting that the Charity return the refunded Donation.\n    If such Donations were made through WePay, the Charity has control over the Donations and Charity, rather than GoFundMe, is responsible for issuing refunds and handling chargebacks directly with Donors.\n    You acknowledge that certain data available or otherwise accessible on or by means of the Services concerning the list of United States-based 501(c)(3) charities to which you may make a Donation is provided by GuideStar USA, Inc. (\"GuideStar\"), a third party licensor of GFM Charity.\nFor good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by you and GoFundMe, you acknowledge and agree that GuideStar (and its successors and assigns) is an intended third party beneficiary with full power and authority to enforce the provisions of these Terms only insofar as it relates to data provided by GuideStar (the “GuideStar Data”).\nYou agree that GoFundMe may share any information provided by you with GuideStar to the extent that GuideStar reasonably needs such data to enforce its rights related to your use of any GuideStar Data.\n    If you are the authorized representative of a Charity, and you do not wish for your Charity to appear in GoFundMe’s searchable database, you may contact us at nposupport@gofundme.com to request that your Charity be removed from our database.\nYour email should include your full name, title, and an email address and phone number associated with your Charity.\nPlease note that if your Charity is removed from the GoFundMe’s database, it will not be eligible to receive contributions through either of the Platforms.\n    Receiving Funds.\nAs a

Charity's behalf for Donations to the Charity through the GFM Charity Services.\nCharities that do so understand and acknowledge that the Charity is responsible under the Income Tax Act to ensure that all receipts are issued in compliance with applicable laws.\nA Charity may at any time rescind its appointment of GFM Charity in this capacity, at which time GFM Charity will immediately cease issuing receipts on behalf of the Charity.\n        Required Information.\nCharities in Canada that appoint GFM Charity to issue receipts on their behalf must provide GFM Charity with the following information, and must notify GFM Charity immediately of any changes to the information below:\n            Current head office address as recorded with the Canada Revenue Agency;\n            Name of

Charity Services, which shall be used to determine the eligible amount of the gift for receipting purposes.\nFor greater certainty, the value of any such benefits shall be subtracted from the fair market value of property gifted to the Charity to determine the eligible amount of the gift.\n        Representation of GFM Charity.\nSubject to the obligations of the Charity set out herein and in particular paragraph 4 below, GFM Charity represents and warrants that, when applicable, it will issue tax receipts in accordance with the requirements of the applicable Canadian law.\n

share any information related to your use of the Services with the appropriate financial institution, regulatory authority, or law enforcement agency consistent with our legal obligations.\nThis information may include information about you, your account, your Donors, your Donations, and transactions made through or in connection with your use of the Services.\nDonor Conduct\nDonations: In order to contribute to a Campaign or to a Charity, a Donor will be required to provide GoFundMe information regarding its credit card or other payment instrument (“Payment Instrument”) that is linked to the Donor’s account on the Services (a “Billing Account”).\nYou, as a Donor, represent and warrant to GoFundMe that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the applicable Payment Instrument.\nYou agree that a certain minimum Donation amount may apply, and that all Donations are final and will not be refunded unless GoFundMe, in its sole discretion, agrees to issue a refund, for example in accordance with the GoFundMe Guarantee.\nGoFundMe 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 Campaign, the Donor agrees to the processing, use, transfer or disclosure of data by our Payment Processors pursuant to any and all applicable terms set forth by our payment partners (currently, Adyen LLC, Stripe, Inc., WePay, Inc., PayPal, Inc., and PayPal Giving Fund), in addition to these Terms of Service, including Adyen’s terms of service, Stripe’s terms of service, WePay’s terms of service, PayPal’s terms of service, and PayPal Giving Fund’s terms of service.\nGoFundMe’s payment partner in Australia is Adyen Australia.\nAdyen Australia contracts with GoFundMe’s Australian entity, GoFundMe Australia Pty Ltd (ACN 627 702 630), which entity is the contracting party responsible for transactions benefitting the Australian user.\nAustralian users, please see Adyen Australia’s Combined Financial Services Guide and Product Disclosure Statement.\nRecurring Donations: Donors may have the option to contribute recurring period Donations (your agreement to make the Donations on a recurring basis, a “Donation Subscription” and each individual Donation made in connection with a Donation Subscription, a “Donation Installment”), and in electing to contribute on a recurring basis, you, as a Donor hereby acknowledge that Donation Subscriptions automatically renew and have a recurring payment feature, and that unless and until you opt out of the auto-renewal of the Donation Subscription, which can be done through the Platforms, any Donation Subscriptions you have signed up for will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the initial term originally selected.\nIn connection with each of your Donation Subscriptions, you (i) hereby authorize GoFundMe to bill your Payment Instrument in the amount of the applicable Donation Installments in advance on a periodic basis until you terminate such periodic payments by opting out of the Donation Subscription, (ii) accept responsibility for payment of all Donation Installments occurring prior to opt out and (iii) agree to promptly update your Billing Account with any changes (for example, any changes related to your Payment Instrument, such as a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date).\nChanges to or termination of Donation Subscriptions or Donation Installments will apply only to Donation Installments that take place after GoFundMe receives notice of such change or termination.\nGoFundMe does not provide refunds of any amounts received in connection with previously made Donation Installments.\nAdditionally, by enrolling in any Donation Subscriptions, you acknowledge and agree for any and all such Donation Subscriptions, that (a) the ongoing maintenance and operation of Donation Subscriptions and each Donation Installment are the sole responsibility of, and subject to the sole discretion of, the individual or entity responsible for managing and receiving the Donation Subscription (e.g., the applicable Campaign Organizer or Charity), (b) individual Donation Installments may not be tax deductible, even if previous Donation Installments for the same Donation Subscription were, and the amount of each Donation Installment that is tax deductible may vary, (c) one or more specific Donation Installment may not be provided to or received by the applicable cause, charity or Campaign if such cause, charity or Campaign becomes unavailable, unable to accept Donations, or chooses to stop receiving Donations, which may occur for various reasons, such as if the cause, charity or Campaign becomes subject to an investigation or is suspended or removed from the Services by GoFundMe or (d) the amounts actually received by the applicable Campaign, Charity or cause may differ from one Donation Installment to the next (for example, if the Payment Processer fees associated with the Donation Installment change).\nYour non-termination of a Donation Subscription reaffirms that GoFundMe is authorized to charge your Payment Instrument for the Donation Subscription in accordance with these terms.\nThis does not waive our right to seek payment directly from you.\nCampaign Organizers, Beneficiaries or Charities\nAccount Holds: From time to time, GoFundMe may, in its sole discretion, place a hold on a Campaign account (a \"Hold\"), restricting Withdrawals (defined herein), initiate a reverse ACH transfer, secure reserves, or take similar actions to protect its interests and those of its Users.\nSome of the reasons that we may take such actions include, but aren’t necessarily limited to, the following: (i) if we have reason to believe (in our sole discretion) that information provided by a Campaign Organizer is false, misleading, or fraudulent, or that funds are being used in a prohibited manner, (ii) if the funds available (as determined by GoFundMe in its sole discretion) should be provided directly to a person other than the Campaign Organizer (such as a legal beneficiary or person entitled by law to act on behalf of a Campaign Organizer), (iii) if we have reason to believe that a Campaign or Campaign Organizer has violated these Terms of Service, (iv) if GoFundMe determines that the Campaign Organizer is colluding with donors to engage in fraudulent activity, (v) if we have reason to believe (in our sole discretion) that there may be suspicious or fraudulent donation activity, or (vi) if required in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, writ, injunction, or as otherwise required under applicable laws and regulations.\nIf you have questions about a Hold we may have placed on your Campaign account, or need information about how to resolve the Hold, please see this article.\nWithdrawing Donations from a Campaign: While GoFundMe strives to make Withdrawals available to you promptly, you acknowledge and agree that Withdrawals may not be available to you for use immediately, and GoFundMe does not guarantee that Withdrawals will be available to you within any specific time frame, and GoFundMe expressly disclaims any and all responsibility for any delay or inability to access and use Withdrawals at any specified time, and any consequences arising from such delay or inability.\nYou, as a Campaign Organizer, are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide to GoFundMe in order to process a Withdrawal, including your bank account information, is accurate and up to date.\nGoFundMe may, at any time, for any reason, without notice, and in its sole discretion, offer or issue a refund of Donation(s) with or without consulting with you, which may comprise the entire amount donated to your campaign.\nGoFundMe is not liable to you or to any third party for any claims, damages, costs, losses, or other consequences caused by GoFundMe issuing refunds, including, but not limited to transaction or overdraft fees.\nPayment Processors\nGoFundMe uses Payment Processors to process Donations for your Campaign and thereafter deliver it to you.\nIn order to withdraw funds from a Campaign, a Campaign Organizer or, if not the same, Beneficiary (collectively “Withdrawing Entity”) will be required to provide the Payment Processor information regarding bank account information (“Withdrawing Account”).\nYou, as Withdrawing Entity, represent and warrant to Payment Processor and GoFundMe that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the applicable Withdrawing Account.\nBy setting up a Campaign or accepting the role of Beneficiary to a Campaign, the Withdrawing Entity agrees to the processing, use, transfer or disclosure of data by the Payment Processors pursuant to any and all applicable terms set forth by the applicable Payment Processors (currently, Adyen LLC, Stripe, Inc., WePay, Inc., PayPal, Inc., and PayPal Giving Fund), in addition to these Terms of Service, including Adyen’s terms of service, Stripe’s terms of service, Stripe's Connected Account Agreement, WePay’s terms of service, PayPal’s terms of service, and PayPal Giving Fund’s terms of service.\nGoFundMe’s payment partner in Australia is Adyen Australia.\nAdyen Australia contracts with GoFundMe’s Australian entity, GoFundMe Australia Pty Ltd (ACN 627 702 630), which entity is the contracting party responsible for transactions benefitting the Australian user.\nAustralian users, please see Adyen Australia’s Combined Financial Services Guide and Product Disclosure Statement.\nPayment Processors for Charities on the GFM Charity Platform\nGoFundMe has partnered with PayPal Giving Fund and WePay to make raising money and donating to Charities easy and seamless.\nAll Charities in the U.S. have the option of using PayPal Giving Fund or WePay to process Donations made through the Services (PayPal Giving Fund is the default choice).\nThe manner in which transactions are processed is explained below.\nCurrently, all Event registrations are processed through PayPal Giving Fund or WePay, depending on which Payment Processors the Event Organizer has chosen to use.\nCharities in Canada are required to use WePay to process Donations.\n    PayPal Giving Fund is a grant-giving IRS-registered 501(c)(3) public charity.\nPayPal Giving Fund receives Donations from users as the charity of record and then grants the funds to Donor-recommended 501(c)(3) charities.\nWhile PayPal Giving Fund takes multiple steps to attempt to grant donated funds according to the donor's identified preference, PayPal Giving Fund retains exclusive control over all donations.\nIf a charity fails to meet the terms of PayPal Giving Fund’s Nonprofit Certification Policy and/or fails to meet PayPal Giving Fund’s due diligence standards for receipt of a donation at any time, PayPal Giving Fund may reassign the funds in accordance with its policy here.\nWhen PayPal Giving Fund receives your Donation, it will forward the Donation to the Charity of your choice, but PayPal Giving Fund will appear on your tax receipt.\nDonations made through PayPal Giving Fund are governed by PayPal Giving Fund’s US Privacy Policy and User Agreement, as well as PayPal’s Privacy Policy and User Agreement.\n    When WePay processes a Donation through the Services, the Donation will go directly from the Donor to the non-profit's WePay merchant account.\nDonations will appear on the Donor's credit card statement under the name of the non-profit to whom they contributed.\nSee WePay Terms of Service for more information.\nGFM Charity Widget\nEach GFM Charity Widget is a software tool that you may place on your website to permit your visitors to access our Services.\nSubject to your compliance with

with or through it) in any manner that would constitute an endorsement by us of any product, service, activity or brand contained on your website;\n    Place the GFM Charity Widget on any website that

TERMS OF SERVICE, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICES.\nDISPUTES\nARBITRATION CLAUSE & CLASS ACTION WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS\nArbitration; Class Action Waiver.\nYOU 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 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 BY JURY.\nDISCOVERY 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.\nYOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING OUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.\nNotwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms of Service will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either of us to (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.\nThe Process.\nAny arbitration between you and us will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms of Service.\nThe AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org.\nA party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. 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”).\nOur current address for Notice is: GoFundMe, Inc., ℅ Legal Department, 855 Jefferson Avenue, PO Box 1329, Redwood City, CA 94063.\nThe Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”).\nWe agree to work with you and make a good faith effort to resolve the claim directly, but if we aren’t successful within 60 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding.\nAll arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing.\nDuring 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.\nIf 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 higher of: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; or (ii) $10,000.00.\nFees.\nIf you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms of Service, we will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee unless your claim is for more than $10,000 in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules.\nAny arbitration hearing will take place at an agreed upon location in San Francisco, California, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephone hearing or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county of your billing address.\nIf the arbitration finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in the Federal Rule of Civil procedure 11(b), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.\nIn that case, you agree to reimburse us for all monies previously disbursed by us that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules.\nRegardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.\nThe arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.\n    No Class Actions.\nYOU 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.\nFurther, 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.\n    Modifications to this Arbitration Provision.\nIf 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.\n    Enforceability.\nIf 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 of Service.\nConfidentiality.\nWe 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.\nHowever, we may each disclose these matters, in confidence, to our respective accountants, auditors, and insurance providers.\nTermination\nYou agree that GoFundMe, 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.\nUser Disputes\nYou agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other user in connection with the Services and GoFundMe will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto.\nGoFundMe reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any other user of the Services.\nGeneral\nThese Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and GoFundMe and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and GoFundMe with respect to the Services.\nYou also may be subject to additional terms of service that may apply when you use affiliate or third-party services, third-party content or third-party software.\nThese Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions.\nWith respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and GoFundMe agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within San Mateo County, California.\nThe failure of GoFundMe to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.\nIf any provision of these Terms 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 of Service remain in full force and effect.\nYou 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 of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.\nA 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.\nYou may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of GoFundMe, but GoFundMe may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction.\nIf we fail to enforce any of our rights, that does not result in a waiver of that right.\nThe section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.\nNotices to you may be made via either email or regular mail.\nThe Services may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Platforms.\nGoFundMe 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.\nNothing in these Terms shall prevent GoFundMe from complying with the law.\nGoFundMe 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, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.\nPrivacy Policy\nAt GoFundMe, we respect the privacy of our users.\nFor details please see our Privacy Policy.\nBy using the Services, you consent to our collection and use of personal data as outlined therein.\nIf you are in Europe, by using the Services, you acknowledge GoFundMe's collection and use of personal information as described in the Privacy Policy.\nQuestions?\nConcerns?\nSuggestions?\nPlease visit the Help Center to learn more about GoFundMe's platform or contact us to report violations or pose any question.\n","paragraphs":null,"sentences":["GoFundMe Terms of Service","Questions about our

interests and those of its Users.","Some of the reasons that we may take such actions include, but aren’t necessarily limited to, the following: (i) if we have reason to believe (in our sole discretion) that information provided by a Campaign Organizer is false, misleading, or fraudulent, or that funds are being used in a prohibited manner, (ii) if the funds available (as determined by GoFundMe in its sole discretion) should be provided directly to a person other than the Campaign Organizer (such as a legal beneficiary or person entitled by law to act on behalf of a Campaign Organizer), (iii) if we have reason to believe that a Campaign or Campaign Organizer has violated these Terms of Service, (iv) if GoFundMe determines that the Campaign Organizer is colluding with donors to engage in fraudulent activity, (v) if we have reason to believe (in our sole discretion) that there may be suspicious or fraudulent donation activity, or (vi) if required in order 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 Campaign account, or need information about how to resolve the Hold, please see this article.","Withdrawing Donations from a Campaign: While GoFundMe strives to make Withdrawals available to you promptly, you acknowledge

Campaign Organizer, are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide to GoFundMe in order to process a Withdrawal, including your bank account information, is accurate and up to date.","GoFundMe may, at any time, for any reason, without notice, and in its sole discretion, offer or issue a refund of Donation(s) with or without consulting with you, which may comprise the entire amount donated to your campaign.","GoFundMe is not liable to you or to any third party for any claims, damages, costs, losses, or other consequences caused by GoFundMe issuing refunds, including, but not limited to transaction or overdraft fees.","Payment Processors","GoFundMe uses Payment Processors to process Donations for your Campaign and thereafter deliver it to you.","In order to withdraw funds from a Campaign, a Campaign Organizer or, 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 GoFundMe that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the applicable Withdrawing Account.","By setting up a Campaign or accepting the role of Beneficiary to a Campaign, the Withdrawing Entity agrees to the processing, use, transfer or disclosure of data by the Payment Processors pursuant to any and all applicable terms set forth by the applicable Payment Processors (currently, Adyen LLC, Stripe, Inc., WePay, Inc., PayPal, Inc., and PayPal Giving Fund),

manner in which transactions are processed is explained below.","Currently, all Event registrations are processed through PayPal Giving Fund or WePay, depending on which Payment Processors the Event Organizer has chosen to use.","Charities in Canada are required to use WePay to process Donations.","    PayPal Giving Fund is a grant-giving IRS-registered 501(c)(3) public charity.","PayPal Giving Fund receives Donations from users as the charity of record and then grants the funds to Donor-recommended 501(c)(3) charities.","While PayPal Giving Fund takes multiple steps to attempt to grant donated funds according to the donor's identified preference, PayPal Giving Fund retains exclusive control over all donations.","If a charity fails to meet the terms of PayPal Giving Fund’s Nonprofit Certification Policy and/or fails to meet PayPal Giving Fund’s due diligence standards for receipt of a donation at any time, PayPal Giving Fund may reassign the funds in accordance with its policy here.","When PayPal Giving Fund receives your Donation, it will forward the Donation to the Charity of your choice, but PayPal Giving Fund will appear on your tax receipt.","Donations made through

monies previously disbursed by us that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules.","Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.","The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the
