The rights granted to you in this Agreement are subject to the following restrictions:(a) you shall not modify, make derivative works of, disassemble, reverse compile or reverse engineer any part of the Service; (b) you shall not access the Service in order to build a similar or competitive website, product, or service; and (c) except as expressly stated herein, no part of the Service may be copied, reproduced, distributed, republished, downloaded, displayed, posted or transmitted in any form or by any means.  Unless otherwise indicated, any future release, update, or other addition to functionality or content of the Service shall be subject to this Agreement.

The Service offers a platform for you as a Customer, as applicable, to create Campaigns and seek Funders. You agree that the following applies to Campaigns and related contributions of Funders with respect to a given Campaign:

• Campaigns must be submitted for approval to IFundWomen through the site by any person 18 years or older with a verified/registered account on the site, and of any gender – we do not discriminate. A Campaign will not be denied upon submission through our Service for approval based on a respective Customer that does not identify their gender as a woman – denials of approval of any Campaign, if any, will be based on non-discriminatory factors, and we reserve the right to communicate or not communicate with respective Customer the reason for any denial of those non-discriminatory factors.

• Notwithstanding the foregoing, we created IFundWomen as a Campaign listing technology service to provide the technological tools to enhance community and support of women-led businesses seeking funds, which according to documented statistics, tend to receive substantially (if not drastically) less funding than male-led ventures under traditional venture capital fundraising circumstances.

• Customers that create a Campaign are solely responsible for fulfilling promises made in their Campaign to Funders. When a Campaign is completed, the Customer must fulfill any promises made to such Funder. Once a creator has done so, they’ve satisfied their obligation to their Funders.

•  If a Customer is unable to fulfill their obligations promised to a Funder, they’ve failed to live up to the basic obligations of this agreement. To right this, they must make every reasonable effort to find another way of bringing the promised reward to the best possible conclusion for Funders.

• Once a contribution   is made, the charge to the Funder is non-refundable via IFundWomen, however, the Customer reserves the right to refund the money directly back to respective Funders, through a different payment mechanism that does not reside on the IFundWomen website.

• We will charge our fees before putting the funds in your account for any successfully completed contribution.

• You agree, accept, and acknowledge that some financial contributions from Funders can’t be collected and may reduce the amount of funding you get. For example – when a Funder’s credit card expires before funding ends, and they don’t provide updated information – we can’t guarantee that the amount of funding you receive will be exactly equal to the full amount pledged minus fees.

If you are a Customer creating a Campaign, you agree to the following:

• Campaigns on IFundWomen may not be created for illegal activities, to cause harm to people or property, or to scam others. It is the sole responsibility and exclusive liability of the Customer to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with their Campaigns, and not to make any false or misleading statements in connection with their Campaign.
   
• The following cannot be provided by Customer to any Funder or other third party as a promise, consideration or other benefit for contributing to a Campaign:

  •  any form of “security” as defined in the Securities Act of 1933

  • any form of financial incentive or participation in any profit-sharing

  • any alcoholic consumer products

  • any controlled substance or drug paraphernalia

  • any weapons, ammunition and related accessories

  • any form of lottery or gambling

  • any form of air transportation

  • any items or services promoting hate, discrimination, death, personal injury, destruction to person or property; any items or services that are prohibited by applicable law to do, possess, or distribute; any items or services that would result in infringement or violation of another person’s rights if distributed.

• Campaign Funders, are solely and exclusively responsible for asking questions and investigating Campaigns of any respective Customer that it is considering contributing to or otherwise backing. Any contribution is made completely voluntarily by the Funder and at the Funder’s sole discretion, and IFundWomen shall not be responsible in any way for the Campaign that a Funder contributes to.

• IFundWomen does not guarantee to any User that a Customer that creates a Campaign will use any funds received from funders as they may have promised in their Campaign; that Customer that created the Campaign will timely deliver promised compensation or other benefits; or those Customers that created the Campaign will give any promised compensation or other benefits at all. We also do not endorse, guarantee, make representations, or provide warranties for or about the quality, safety, morality, or legality of any Campaign, related Customer, or Campaign compensation or other benefit promised by a Customer of our Service.

• IFundWomen provides capabilities for flexible funding which means your credit card will be charged immediately for the pledge, and the respective Customer will receive their funds, less fees, on a weekly or monthly basis, pending the Campaign settings that IFundWomen assigns to the respective Customer or the Campaign settings that the respective Customer sets for themselves through the payment processors, Stripe and/or PayPal. IFundWomen gives Funders the option to leave a tip. Tips allow IFundWomen to continue to provide free, expert crowdfunding coaching to ensure that respective Customer have the best chance of success. Tips are totally optional, and are non-refundable. If you decide to leave a tip, your funder receipt will show you a breakdown of your project contribution and tip amount. On your statement, this will either show up as a single combined charge or as two separate charges.

• Estimated delivery dates of rewards set by Customer that creates a Campaign are the estimate of the respective Customer and not of IFundWomen. The respective Customers may need to email you questions to provide you any promised consideration or other benefit, including information like you your mailing address or t-shirt size. By contributing to a Campaign, you are opting into email communications from IFundWomen, and the Customer of the respective Campaign.

• IFundWomen is under no obligation to become involved in disputes between Customers and Funders. IFundWomen is merely a technology provider. Funders voluntarily decide at their own risk to accept the fundraising terms and conditions of any Customer that created a Campaign through our Service as a contract that we are not a party to. Customers that create Campaigns are legally bound to perform on any promises and commitments that are entered into with Funders.
   
• Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customers that created Campaigns independently seeking to resolve any dispute with a Funder can consider any lawful resolution including but not limited to the issuance of a refund to any funder they are in dispute with. In the event of any dispute, such as a Customer’s failure to fulfill a commitment, we may provide the respective Customer’s contact information so that the dispute may be resolved, but we are under no obligation whatsoever to do so.
   
• IFundWomen is not liable for any loss on the site & not responsible for monitoring any Campaign. We don’t monitor Campaign progress or outcome to ensure that funders have had their contributions properly used by a Customer that created a Campaign, and/or that rewards to Funders are timely delivered/shipped, or delivered at all.
   
• In using our Service, you release IFundWomen from claims, damages, and demands of every kind – known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed – arising out of or in any way related to such disputes between Users.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairments, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Our Service allows for different Users, including Customers, In-App Vendors, and Funders.

Customers that create crowdfunding Campaigns  owners. When a Customer creates their crowdfunding campaign on IFundWomen, they are inviting others to make a contract with them (i.e., Funders). Any Funder who backs a Campaign posted by a Customer through our Service accepts the Customer’s contract for such Campaign. IFundWomen is not a part of that third party contract between a Customer and respective Funders for any Campaign. IFundWomen makes no representation about the safety, legality, quality, or morality of any Campaign or reward, or contribution or the truth or accuracy of any User Generated Content posted through the Service. We also expressly do not represent that respective Customer related to a Campaign will deliver any benefits promised for funding or otherwise contributing to an applicable Campaign; deliver any benefits timely; or that financial backings of any Campaigns will be used by the Customers as represented by them during a Campaign. We are only the marketplace venue for Customers that have created Campaigns to present their fundraising Campaign(s). Users back Campaigns at their own risk.

In-App Vendors. In-App Vendors provide their own products and services independent of IFundWomen, and the Service offered is a technology platform that connects Customers to such In-App Vendors. IFundWomen is not a party to any contract between a Customer and any respective In-App Vendor for In-App Vendor’s products or services. IFundWomen fully disclaims and makes no representation about the legality, quality, truth, or accuracy which an In-App Vendor may offer and/or deliver with respect to its respective products and/or services. It is wholly the responsibility of the Customer to educate themselves prior to purchasing from a given In-App Vendor.
