1. Access and Use of the Services

Services Description: Our SolaSites Services help churches and other organizations (collectively, “Charities”) build their own website and related church tools, host pre-recorded sermons online, access, download and manage social media posts and access and download from our digital library of stock videos and other creative assets.

The Services are a platform; we are not a broker, financial institution, creditor or charity: The Services are an administrative platform only. SolaSites facilitates online giving for Charities and permits donors to make donations to these Charities. SolaSites is not a broker, agent, financial institution, creditor or 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation.

All information and content provided by SolaSites relating to the Services is for informational purposes only, and SolaSites does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness or reliability of any such information or content. No content is intended to provide financial, legal, tax or other professional advice. Before making any decisions regarding any 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. You acknowledge that all information and content accessed by you using the Services is at your own risk.

We do not endorse any Charity, and we make no guarantee, express or implied, that any information provided through the Services is accurate. We expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility for the outcome or success of any donation campaign. You, as a donor, must make the final determination as to the value and appropriateness of contributing to any Charity.

All donations are at your own risk. When you make a donation through the Services, it is your responsibility to understand how your money will be used. SolaSites is not responsible for any offers, promises, rewards or promotions made or offered by Charities. We do not and cannot verify the information that Charities supply, nor do we represent or guarantee that the donations will be used in accordance with any fundraising purpose prescribed by a Charity or in accordance with applicable laws.

You, as a Charity, represent, warrant, and covenant that (i) all information you provide us is accurate, complete, and not likely to deceive reasonable users; (ii) all donations contributed to your Charity will be used solely as described in the materials that you post or otherwise provide; (iii) you will not infringe the rights of others; (iv) you will comply with all relevant and applicable financial reporting obligations, including but not limited to laws and regulations relating to tax reporting, political contributions, and asset disclosures for your project; and (v) 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. You authorize SolaSites, and SolaSites 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.

2. Your Registration Obligations

You may be required to register with SolaSites in order to access and use certain features of the Services. If you choose to register for the Services, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Services’ registration forms. Charities must register using their true identities, including their name, domain name, and any image or video purporting to depict the Charity or the beneficiary of such campaign. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy. If you are under 16 years of age you are not authorized to use the Services, with or without registering. In addition, if you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction (typically 18 years of age), you may use the Services, with or without registering, only with the approval of your parent or guardian. Certain 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 SolaSites has entered into contracts, in order to be able to benefit from their services. If SolaSites or one of our payments processors at any time discovers that the information you provided about you or the purpose of your donation request is incorrect or violates any of these Terms of Service or their terms of service, the Services may be suspended or terminated. You acknowledge and agree that the use of third-party payment processors is integral to the Services and that we may exchange information with such third parties in order to facilitate the provision of Services as set out in our Privacy Policy.

3. Service Fees for Charities

When accepted by SolaSites, the order (whether such order is submitted orally, online through the Website, or on a written order form) submitted by a Charity creates a contract between the Charity and SolaSites, consisting of the order, the documents made available by SolaSites to the Charity to describe the applicable Services at the time the order is accepted by SolaSites (the “Service Description”), and these Terms of Service. An order is “Accepted” by SolaSites when (i) with respect to orders submitted online, SolaSites provides Services in response to the order or bills the Charity for payment, and (ii) with respect to orders reduced to writing and signed on an approved SolaSites form, when an authorized representative of SolaSites executes such form.

SolaSites will provide, and the Charity will purchase and pay for, the Services specified in the order for the service fees specified in the order and the applicable Service Description (the “Service Fees”).

The Charity will pay to SolaSites the Service Fees in the manner set forth in the order. SolaSites may increase the Service Fees (i) in the manner permitted in the Service Description and (ii) at the end of your current monthly or annual subscription, as applicable. The Service Fees do not include any applicable sales, use, revenue, excise or other taxes imposed by any taxing authority with respect to the Services or any software provided hereunder. All Service Fees are non-refundable. Any amounts payable to SolaSites not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less. SolaSites, in its sole discretion, may deactivate delinquent accounts. Upon a reactivation request by a Charity, the Charity shall pay SolaSites a reactivation fee in addition to full payment of the outstanding balance due. If SolaSites collects any payment due through an attorney or under advice from an attorney or through a collection agency, the Charity will pay all costs of collection and litigation, including, without limitation, all court costs and SolaSites’s reasonable attorneys’ fees. If any payment is returned for insufficient funds SolaSites may impose at our sole discretion, an additional processing charge of $25 per returned payment.

4. Taxes

It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the donations you receive through your use of the Services. It is solely your responsibility to assess, collect, report or remit the correct tax, if any, to the appropriate tax authority.

5. Term and Termination

Services for a Charity will commence on the effective date indicated in the order and continue for the duration of the term specified in the Service Description. Thereafter, your subscription will automatically renew for successive monthly or annual periods, as the case may be. You can cancel your subscription at any time. Following the termination of your subscription, you will continue to have access to our Services for the balance of the pre-paid subscription period.

SolaSites may terminate this Agreement (i) if the Services are prohibited by applicable law, or become impractical or unfeasible for any technical, legal or regulatory reason, or (ii) immediately by giving written notice to a Charity if SolaSites determines in good faith that the Charity’s use of the Website, Services, or the Content violates these Terms of Service. Upon termination of this Agreement for any cause or reason whatsoever, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except as expressly set forth herein. Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the parties shall each remain liable to the other for any indebtedness or other liability theretofore arising under this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement and retention of pre-paid fees and charges shall be in addition to, and not be in lieu of, any other legal or equitable rights or remedies to which SolaSites may be entitled.

6. Member Account, Password and Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account, if any, and are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify SolaSites of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) sign out from your account at the end of each session when accessing the Services. SolaSites will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.

7. Modifications to Services

SolaSites reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services (or any part thereof) 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.

If you choose to provide information using public features of the Services, then that information is governed by the privacy settings of those particular features and may be publicly available. Individuals reading such information may use or disclose it to other individuals or entities without our knowledge and without your knowledge, and search engines may index that information.

9. Data Retention

SolaSites and our processing partners reserve the right to refuse, condition, or suspend any donations or other transactions that we believe in our sole discretion may violate the Terms of Service or harm the interests of our users, business partners, the public, or SolaSites, or that expose you, SolaSites, or others to risks unacceptable to us. We may 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. This 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.

12. Donations and Payments

In order to contribute to a Charity, a donor will be required to provide SolaSites 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”). You, as a donor, represent and warrant to SolaSites that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the applicable Payment Instrument. By using the service, you agree that SolaSites and our Payment Processors may store a tokenized, secure profile representing or containing your Payment Instrument for use in facilitating your one-time or recurring contribution. You agree that a certain minimum donation amount may apply, and that all donation payments are final and will not be refunded unless SolaSites, in its sole discretion, agrees to a refund, in which event it will first become the Charity’s obligation to reverse the entire donation transaction. If necessary, SolaSites and our Payment Processors (defined herein) reserve the right to refund any and all donations made to any Charity using our platform via a withdrawal (defined herein).

Some payment processing services are provided to us by Stripe, Inc. and their related and affiliated entities (“Stripe”) (https://stripe.com/ca) and are subject to the Stripe Checkout User Terms of Service — United States (https://stripe.com/checkout/legal) (the “Stripe Services Agreement”). Some payment processing services are also provided by Card Connect, and their related and affiliated entities including BluePay, and BlueChex, collectively (“Card Connect”) (https://cardconnect.com/) and are subject to their Privacy Policy and related Terms of Service ( https://cardconnect.com/privacy-policy,https://www.rebelgive.com/CardConnectTermsAndConditions.pdf ,https://www.rebelgive.com/BluechexTermsAndConditions.pdf ) (the “Card Connect Agreements”). All third-party payment processing related agreements collectively (“Payment Processing Agreements”) and all payment processors collectively (“Payment Processors”). You agree and authorize us to bill your credit card via Stripe, Card Connect, or any other of our Payment Processors, in accordance with these Terms.

By agreeing to these Terms, you also specifically agree to be bound by the Payment Processing Agreements, as modified by the Payment Processors from time to time. As a condition of us enabling payment processing services through our Payment Processors, you agree to provide accurate and complete information about you and your organization, and you authorize us to share such information and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services with our Payment Processors. Please contact us if you have any questions about any of our third-party Payment Processors.

Although our Payment Processors electronic forms may be displayed on our Website or Service, we accept no responsibility or liability for their collection and storage of your payment details or personal information. Our Payment Processors may have their own additional terms and conditions and privacy policies, which apply to your personal information and payment transactions.

You may be charged a Convenience Fee for any donation made through the Services, which amount will be shown to you before completing the donation.

SolaSites may at its sole discretion choose to cover or otherwise mitigate the costs of some of these convenience fees (or any other financial processing-related fees or charges) on behalf of Donors and Charities. These fees and charges are covered by SolaSites in good faith to help Charities and Donors maximize their donations.

Any abusive, malicious, or excessive use or misuse of the SolaSites platform — whether intentional or unintentional that results in abnormally high fees and charges being covered by SolaSites may be subject to cost-sharing, and all or a portion of the covered fees and charges may be be billed to the Charity at SolaSites’s cost. This billing will be in addition to the Service Fee a Charity pays SolaSites for use of the Platform, and will be billed on a monthly basis if deemed necessary by SolaSites. By agreeing to our terms and using the Service, you agree that SolaSites may charge your payment method on file for these additional amounts on a monthly basis whenever applicable.

While SolaSites strives to make deposits from donations and payments made to Charities available promptly, you acknowledge and agree that deposits may not be available to you for use immediately, and SolaSites does not guarantee that deposits will be available to you within any specific time-frame, and SolaSites expressly disclaims any and all responsibility for any delay or inability to access and use deposits at any specified time, and any consequences arising from such delay or inability. You, as a Charity, are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide to SolaSites in order to process a deposit, including your bank account information, is accurate and up to date.

13. Account Holds

From time to time, SolaSites or our Payment Processors may (in our sole discretion) place a hold on a Charity’s account, restricting deposits (defined herein) to a Charity. Some of the reasons that we may place a hold on a Charity’s account include the following: (i) if we have reason to believe that information provided by a Charity is false, misleading, or fraudulent, or that funds are being used in a prohibited manner, (ii) if we have reason to believe that a Charity has violated these Terms of Service, (iii) if we have reason to believe that there may be suspicious or fraudulent donation activity, or (iv) if required in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, writ, injunction, or as otherwise required under applicable laws and regulations.

14. Refunding Donations and Payments

While SolaSites and our Payment Processors strive to make refunds extremely rare, and strive to provide reasonable notice of larger consequential actions, you acknowledge and agree that withdrawals from a Charity’s account may be made from time to time. More specifically, SolaSites or our Payment Processors may, at any time, for any reason, without notice, and in our or our Payment Processors’ sole discretion, offer or issue a refund of donation(s) or payment(s) with or without consulting with you, which may comprise the entire amount donated to your Charity and cause the related funds to be withdrawn from your bank account. SolaSites and our Payment Processors are not liable to you or to any third party for any claims, damages, costs, losses, or other consequences caused by SolaSites or our Payment Processors issuing refunds or performing withdrawals, including, but not limited to transaction or overdraft fees that you may incur.

You can access and download the Clips in your SolaSites account. You agree and acknowledge that we, or where applicable, our ICP’s, will continue to own the Clips licensed to you as part of our Service.

You agree that you shall only download Clips which you intend to use in your organization’s own videos during the term of your subscription, in accordance with these Terms. Accordingly, you agree not to download all or large portions of our video library in bulk. While our Clips are primarily intended for use by Charities, for non-commercial purposes, where you create a video project that uses a Clip from us, you may only sell, commercialize or license access to your own video, which uses our Clips, where our Clips do not comprise more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the overall duration of the video (the “25% Restriction”). Prior to the sale or licensing of your own videos, which include our Clips, you shall disclose to the purchaser, licensee, viewer or other applicable third parties the fact that we own the Clips and that their use is protected by copyright and restricted by these Terms, including for example, the 25% Restriction. This means that, and you shall ensure that, your customers or clients are restricted from on-selling or re-licensing our Clips, or using our Clips, or portions thereof, in any other video, project or business. To the extent you sell or license access to your own videos, which include our Clips, you agree to impose the above restrictions on the use of our Clips and contractually preclude such third parties from using our Clips in any derivative works. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that you will not use, or allow the use of our Clips in videos, advertisements, or in a context (for example on a website) that associates our Clips with unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, harmful, hateful, harassing, bullying, pornographic, threatening, racially or ethnically offensive or abusive content, products or services. You further agree that you will not use, or allow the use of our Clips in videos, movies, advertisements, or in a context (for example on a website) that may encourage a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability (including for example intellectual property infringement), or violate any local, state, provincial, national or international law or regulation. Some of our Clips may feature individual models (“Models”). You agree that you will not use any of our Clips and will not display Models in any videos or other content in a manner which a reasonable person, in the Model’s circumstances, would find offensive or objectionable. Without limiting the forgoing, you agree that Clips displaying a Model will not be used in connection with, or in any way related to videos, businesses, projects or websites which:
  • Have or display pornographic, unlawful or immoral content;
  • Have or display, whether for sale or otherwise, unlawful drugs or tobacco products;
  • Portray the Model negatively or in a derogatory manner; or
  • Portray the Model as accepting of or promoting defamatory, libelous, harmful, hateful, harassing, bullying, threatening, racially or ethnically offensive or abusive content, products or services.

16. Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard:

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of industry-mandated requirements for any business that handles, processes, or stores credit cards. The primary purpose of the standards is to maintain controls around cardholder data to reduce credit card fraud. As a service provider, SolaSites is PCI DSS compliant and will maintain all applicable PCI DSS requirements to the extent that we possess or otherwise store, process, or transmit cardholder data on behalf of you, or to the extent that we can in any way impact the security of your cardholder data environment. SolaSites uses 256 Bit SSL technology for data transactions. All personal, credit card, and bank information is submitted using 256-bit encryption.

21. Disputes

ARBITRATION CLAUSE & CLASS ACTION WAIVER – 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, MEMBERS, 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, OR RIGHTS OF PRIVACY OR PUBLICITY, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU AND WE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY. DISCOVERY 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 BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. Notwithstanding 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.
• The Process: Any 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. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. A 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”). Our current address for Notice is: SolaSites, 7467 Mission Gorge Road, Space 45, Santee CA 92071. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) 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 aren’t 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 or as provided by law.
• Fees: If 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. Any arbitration hearing will take place at an agreed upon location in San Diego County, 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. If 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. In 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. 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 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.
• 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 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.

22. Termination

You agree that SolaSites, 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 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.

23. User Disputes

You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other user in connection with the Services and NSolaSitescleus will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. SolaSites reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any other user of the Services.

24. General

These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and SolaSites and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and SolaSites with respect to the Services. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third-party services, third-party content or third-party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of SolaSites 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 SolaSites agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within San Diego County, SolaSites. The failure of SolaSites to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If 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. 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 of Service must be filed within one (1) year 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 of Service without the prior written consent of SolaSites, but SolaSites may assign or transfer these Terms 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. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The 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 Platform.
