Terms of Service
GiveKit General Terms of Service
These GiveKit General Terms of Service (these “Terms of Service“) set forth the terms and conditions upon which GiveKit, Inc, directly or through any of its affiliated companies including, without limitation, (“GiveKit“, “we” or “us”) offers you, our end users ( “Customer“ , “partners”, “you” or “your” ) , access to GiveKit’s proprietary cloud-based software-as-a service platform ( s ) made available through the website located at uniform resource locator www.givekit.org/termsofservice (the “Site”) and/or any GiveKit mobile application (each a “GiveKit Product” and, collectively, the “GiveKit Products”) and related Services (as defined below). Access to the GiveKit Products and Services is provided solely in accordance with, and subject to, these Terms of Service, the Sales Order (as defined below), and any additional services agreement, general or product specific terms of service or other applicable terms and conditions entered into by you and GiveKit or any of its affiliated companies in writing or otherwise as made available by GiveKit through the Site from time to time (collectively, the “Additional Terms”).
This is a legally enforceable contract. By submitting or otherwise agreeing to a Sales Order, clicking “I Agree” or by accessing or otherwise using the GiveKit Products, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, the Sales Order, and any applicable Additional Terms, all of which are hereby incorporated into these Terms of Service by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service and such Sales Order and Additional Terms, do not access or use the GiveKit Products.
If you are currently, as of the date of GiveKit posting these Terms of Service on the Site, under contract with GiveKit for any GiveKit Products, a “Current Contract”), and such Current Contract limits GiveKit’s ability to modify or update the terms of such Current Contract during the term of such Current Contract or any other period of time, then your Current Contract shall remain in effect under the terms thereof only for the duration of such term or period, and thereafter upon renewal of such Current Contract or the conclusion of such period, whichever is earlier, these Terms of Service shall supersede your Current Contract and govern all use of the GiveKit Products, and your continued access to or use of the GiveKit Products constitutes your immediate acceptance of these Terms of Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your Current Contract permits GiveKit to modify or update the terms of such Current Contract during the term of such Current Contract, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in your Current Contract, these Terms of Service shall supersede your Current Contract and govern all use of the GiveKit Products at the earliest period permitted under your Current Contract, and your continued access to or use of the GiveKit Products constitutes your immediate acceptance of these Terms of Service. For clarity, if your Current Contract is currently in a month-to-month term and limits GiveKit’s ability to modify or update the terms of such Current Contract during such a term, then your Current Contract shall remain in effect until the end of the current month, and thereafter these Terms of Service shall supersede your Current Contract and govern all use of the GiveKit Products, and your continued access to or use of the GiveKit Products constitutes your immediate acceptance of these Terms of Service.
From time to time, GiveKit may modify these Terms of Service, effective immediately upon posting such modified Terms of Service on the Site. While we may note the date of the last update to these Terms of Service on the Site and provide additional notice of such modifications, you acknowledge and agree that you must periodically check the Site for any updates. For any Sales Orders that are entered into after the time of us posting any modifications to these Terms of Service, such new Sales Orders shall be subject to the modified Terms of Service. For any Sales Orders that were in effect at the time of us implementing such modifications that do not specify a subscription or service term length or other minimum subscription or service period, your continued access to or use of the GiveKit Products constitutes your immediate acceptance of the modified Terms of Service. For any Sales Orders that were in effect at the time of us implementing such modifications that specify an initial subscription or service term length or other minimum subscription or service period, such modifications to these Terms of Service shall become effective for any renewal period under such Sales Orders. Except to the extent expressly contemplated by these Terms of Service, no other amendment, modification or supplement of any provision of these Terms of Service will be valid or effective unless made in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of both parties.

Any such increases or modifications to the Fees shall take effect thirty (30) days following notification to you via email (the “Notification Period”). If you do not agree to such increased or modified Fees, you may terminate the Sales Order Term for the applicable GiveKit Products and/or Services for which the Fees have been increase or modified by providing notice to GiveKit during the Notification Period. You acknowledge and agree that your continued access to or use of the GiveKit Products after the Notification Period constitutes your immediate acceptance of any such modified Fees.

If GiveKit pays any Tax that is payable by Customer in accordance with the foregoing, Customer shall reimburse GiveKit for the amount of such Tax upon receiving an invoice therefor.
5.4 Payment Terms. All Fees, including subscription Fees, shall be due and payable by Customer within thirty (30) days after their respective invoice date from GiveKit unless otherwise expressly modified by the applicable Sales Order or Additional Terms for a particular GiveKit Product or Service.

5.5 Suspensions. GiveKit reserves the right to suspend delivery of the Services under the License if Customer fails to timely pay any undisputed amounts owed to GiveKit under these Terms of Service, subject to the following notice provision: GiveKit shall notify customer in writing of any overdue amounts, and Customer’s failure to bring the account current within thirty (30) days of receiving the delinquency notice can result in immediate suspension without further action required of either party.

Any suspended accounts may, at GiveKit’s discretion, be charged a $200 fee upon reactivation.
5.6 Payment Processing/Settlement. GiveKit offers Customers the option to process payments in connection with their use of the GiveKit Products through GiveKit’s Product located in the United States.

In any event, Customer shall be responsible for reconciliation services, including all charge backs (credit card adjustments due to Transaction cancellation) and associated chargeback fees of any kind whatsoever against any and all merchant accounts established by GiveKit for the purpose of consummating Transactions conducted on behalf of Customer through the GiveKit Products as may be further described in the Additional Terms. As used in this Agreement, except as otherwise specific in any Sales Order or Additional Terms, “Transactions” means all online financial transactions conducted on Customer’s behalf through the use of any GiveKit Products. Any assistance provided to Customer by GiveKit related to reconciliation services shall be billed at GiveKit’s then current hourly rates.
5.7 Late Fees. If any Fees are not paid by Customer by the due date, GiveKit may, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, charge interest on a day to day basis both before and after any judgment at a rate equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law, from the due date for payment to the date of actual payment.
5.8 No Setoff; No Refunds. All amounts due under this Agreement to be paid in full by Customer to GiveKit and Customer will not be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against GiveKit in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, GiveKit shall have no liability to the Customer for any Claim to the extent that such Claim: (i) arises out of Customer’s use of the GiveKit Property or Services other than as expressly permitted under this Agreement and the Documentation or any other unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of the GiveKit Property or Services; (ii) arises out of any modification or alteration of the GiveKit Property or Services by anyone other than GiveKit; (iii) arises out of the use of GiveKit Property in combination with any other software or equipment not approved in writing by GiveKit; or (iv) would have been avoided by use of the thencurrent release of any software or if the Customer had followed GiveKit’s reasonable written instructions ((i) through (iv), collectively, “Excluded Claims”).
8.2 Indemnification by Customer. Customer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GiveKit and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors and licensees (collectively the “GiveKit Indemnified Parties”) from any and against all Claims brought against the GiveKit Indemnified Parties, or tendered to the GiveKit Indemnified Parties, for the defense and/or indemnification, and for all resulting Losses incurred by the GiveKit Indemnified Parties in connection with such Claims, to the extent resulting from: (a) a claim that the Customer Data, Customer’s provision of the Customer Data to GiveKit in connection with this Agreement or GiveKit’s use of the Customer Data pursuant to the rights granted under this Agreement, fails to comply with Applicable Law or otherwise infringes, misappropriates or violates any rights of a third party, including any privacy rights or Intellectual Property Rights of any third parties; (b) Customer’s use of the GiveKit Property or Services other than Claims subject to indemnification by GiveKit under Section 8.1; (c) Excluded Claims; (d) Customer’s failure to comply with Applicable Laws in connection with its performance under this Agreement, or (e) Customer’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud.
