Access and Use of Services
Services Description: Our Services support churches and other organizations (collectively, "Charities") in receiving donations efficiently. Additionally, we offer a financial wellness app designed to help individuals manage their finances effectively.
Administrative Platform: The Services function as an administrative platform only. Stablish facilitates online giving for Charities and allows donors to make donations to these Charities. Stablish is not a broker, agent, financial institution, creditor, or 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation.
Information Accuracy: All information and content provided by Stablish are for informational purposes only. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information. Content is not intended to provide financial, legal, or tax advice. Consult your advisors before making decisions regarding Charities, donations, or related content. You use the information at your own risk.
Endorsement and Liability: We do not endorse any Charity and make no guarantees regarding the accuracy of information provided through the Services. We disclaim any responsibility for the outcome or success of donation campaigns. Donors must assess the value and appropriateness of contributing to any Charity.
Donation Risk: Donations are made at your own risk. You are responsible for understanding how your donation will be used. Stablish is not responsible for offers, promises, or promotions made by Charities and cannot verify their information.
Charity Responsibilities: Charities must ensure that (i) all information provided is accurate and not misleading; (ii) donations are used as described; (iii) they comply with legal and financial obligations; (iv) they have the authority to share any third-party personal data; and (v) Stablish may provide information about campaigns to donors, beneficiaries, or law enforcement as needed.
Financial Education Responsibilities: We are not financial advisors, and the information provided on our app is for informational and educational purposes only. It should not be considered as financial advice. You should consult with a qualified financial advisor for advice tailored to your specific financial situation. Use of our app and services is at your own discretion and risk.
Your Registration Obligations
To access certain features of the Services, you may need to register with Stablish. If you register, you agree to provide and maintain accurate, current, and complete information. Charities must register using their true identities. Registration data and other information are governed by our Privacy Policy. If you are under 16, you are not authorized to use the Services. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction (typically 18), you may use the Services only with parental or guardian approval. Some aspects of our Services may require registration with third-party service providers (e.g., payment processors). If your information is incorrect or violates these Terms or their terms of service, your access to the Services may be suspended or terminated.
Service Fees for Charities
When a Charity places an order (whether orally, online, or in writing), it creates a contract with Stablish, including the order, any Service Descriptions provided, and these Terms of Service. An order is “Accepted” when Stablish provides Services or bills the Charity.
Payment: Charities must pay the Service Fees as specified in the order and Service Description. Fees may increase as allowed and are non-refundable. Payments not made when due will accrue interest. Delinquent accounts may be deactivated, and reactivation may require payment of outstanding balances and additional fees.
Taxes
You are responsible for determining and handling any applicable taxes related to donations received through the Services. You must assess, collect, report, or remit the correct tax to the appropriate authority.
Term and Termination
Services commence on the effective date indicated in the order and continue for the term specified. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled. Stablish may terminate the Agreement if the Services are prohibited by law or if the Charity’s use violates these Terms. Upon termination, parties remain liable for any outstanding obligations. Termination does not limit other legal rights or remedies available to Stablish.
Member Account, Password, and Security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password. Notify Stablish immediately of any unauthorized use or security breaches and sign out after each session. Stablish is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this section.
Modifications to Services
Stablish reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services at any time without liability to you or third parties for any claims, damages, costs, or losses resulting from such actions.
Public Content; Public Display of Donations
Some activities and content on the Services are public, including information posted on the Website and user profile details. This information may be displayed to other users and could be indexed by search engines. Information provided through public features may be used or disclosed by others.
Data Retention
Stablish is not obligated to retain data related to any account or donation campaign. We may delete data or terminate accounts at any time without liability for any claims, damages, costs, or losses resulting from such actions.
Mobile Services
The Services offered include features accessible through mobile devices, such as the ability to (i) upload content to the Platform, (ii) browse the Platform, and (iii) access certain features via a mobile application (collectively, the “Mobile Services”). When you use Mobile Services, standard charges, data rates, and other fees from your wireless service carrier may apply. Moreover, your carrier may restrict or prohibit the use of certain Mobile Services, and not all Mobile Services may be compatible with all carriers or devices. By accessing Mobile Services, you consent to receiving communications via SMS, MMS, text message, or other electronic means on your mobile device. Additionally, some information about your usage of Mobile Services may be transmitted to us. We will adhere to local laws and regulations regarding communications with you. If you change or deactivate your mobile number, you agree to promptly update your Stablish Solutions Inc. account information to prevent messages from being sent to the new owner of your previous number.
Donations and Payments
To contribute to a Charity, donors must provide Stablish Solutions Inc. with credit card or other payment information (“Payment Instrument”) linked to their account (a “Billing Account”). You represent that this information is accurate and that you are authorized to use the Payment Instrument. By using the service, you consent to Stablish Solutions Inc. and our Payment Processors storing a secure tokenized profile of your Payment Instrument for facilitating donations. Minimum donation amounts may apply, and all payments are final unless a refund is granted at our discretion, in which case the Charity must reverse the donation. We reserve the right to refund donations through withdrawals if necessary.
Payment processing may be provided by Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”) and Card Connect, among others, and is subject to their respective terms and conditions. By agreeing to these Terms, you also agree to be bound by these Payment Processing Agreements and authorize us to share your information with Payment Processors. We accept no liability for the collection and storage of your payment details by Payment Processors. Convenience Fees may apply to donations, and these fees will be disclosed before you complete the donation.
Stablish Solutions Inc. may cover or mitigate some convenience fees or other processing-related costs. Abusive or excessive use may result in cost-sharing, where additional fees may be billed to the Charity. By using the Service, you agree to cover any additional amounts if necessary.
Deposits from donations may not be immediately available. Stablish Solutions Inc. does not guarantee specific timeframes for deposit availability and disclaims responsibility for any delays or consequences from such delays. Charities are responsible for providing accurate banking information for deposits.
Account Holds
Stablish Solutions Inc. or our Payment Processors may place a hold on a Charity’s account for reasons such as suspected fraud, violations of these Terms, or compliance with legal requirements.
Refunding Donations and Payments
Refunds are rare and may be issued at our discretion, potentially affecting the entire donation amount. Stablish Solutions Inc. and Payment Processors are not liable for any related claims, damages, or fees incurred due to refunds.
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) consists of requirements set by the industry to ensure secure handling of credit card information. These standards are designed to safeguard cardholder data and prevent credit card fraud. Stablish Solutions Inc. adheres to PCI DSS compliance and upholds all relevant requirements when we handle, process, or store cardholder data on your behalf, or when our operations affect the security of your cardholder data environment. We utilize 256-bit SSL technology for secure data transactions, ensuring that personal, credit card, and bank information is encrypted using this standard.
Indemnity and Release
You agree to release, indemnify, and hold harmless Stablish Solutions Inc. and its affiliates, including their officers, members, managers, employees, directors, and agents, from any losses, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), costs, fines, claims, actions, or injuries (including death) arising from (i) your use of the Services, (ii) any donation or User Content, or your connection to the Services, (iii) your violation of these Terms of Service, or (iv) any infringement of others’ rights. Stablish Solutions Inc. retains the right to manage its own defense in any claims and you agree to cover the costs associated with such defense. If you are a California resident, you waive the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which states: “A general release does not extend to claims that the releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in their favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known, would have materially affected their settlement with the debtor.” If you reside outside the U.S., you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.
Disputes
Arbitration Clause & Class Action Waiver
All disputes between you and Stablish Solutions Inc. or its officers, directors, members, or employees will be resolved through binding, individual arbitration, and you waive your right to a jury trial. Arbitration procedures and appeals are generally more limited compared to court proceedings. By agreeing to these Terms, you and Stablish Solutions Inc. both waive the right to a trial by jury and participation in class actions.
You retain the right to (a) bring an individual action in small claims court, (b) pursue enforcement through applicable agencies, (c) seek injunctive relief in court, or (d) address intellectual property infringement in court.
The Process: Any arbitration will be conducted under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, with modifications as described. You can access the AAA Rules and forms online at www.adr.org or by calling AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
To initiate arbitration, send a written notice of the dispute to Stablish Solutions Inc. at support@stablish.io. This notice must include the nature of the dispute and the relief sought. We will attempt to resolve the dispute directly within 60 days of receiving the notice; otherwise, arbitration may commence. Arbitration proceedings will be confidential unless agreed otherwise or required by law.
Fees: We will cover your filing fee unless your claim exceeds $10,000, in which case fees will follow AAA Rules. Hearings will occur in Los Angeles, California, unless the claim is $10,000 or less, where you may choose between documents only, telephone hearing, or in-person hearing in your billing address county. If the arbitration finds the claim frivolous or improper, you may need to reimburse us for fees under AAA Rules. The arbitrator will provide a written decision explaining their findings and conclusions.
No Class Actions: Claims may only be brought individually and not as part of a class or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or oversee class proceedings unless agreed by both parties.
