Terms Of Service

1. Welcome

Welcome to Rayze, a volunteer based social network focused on community involvement and positive content. The Rayze website, mobile applications, and other interactive properties through which the service is delivered (collectively, the “Service”) are owned, operated and distributed by Rayze LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company (referred to in these Terms of Service as “Rayze” or “we” and through similar words such as “us,” “our,” etc.). By accessing any part of the Service, you are agreeing to the Terms of Service described below (these “Terms of Service”), the terms of our privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) and any other legal notices published by Rayze on the Service (collectively, the “Governing Documents”). Please read these Terms of Service carefully and make sure you understand it. If you do not understand these Terms of Service or do not accept any part of it, then you may not use the Service. These Terms of Service apply to anyone who views content from the Service, including unregistered people who view content via the Service and users who have registered as members of Rayze.

We may, at our sole discretion, modify these Terms of Service at any time. By accessing the Service at any time after such modifications, you are agreeing to such modifications. If we make changes to these Terms of Service, we will post the updated Terms of Service on the site and update the new effective date.

BY USING THE SERVICE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND AND ABIDE BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.

2. Description of Service

The Service allows individuals who wish to volunteer to search for opportunities based on skill, cause, date, and location. Rayze allows nonprofit organizations to recruit and manage volunteers by posting about volunteer needs and events. Nonprofit organizations are also able to collect donations through the Service if they have been verified by Rayze and Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”), our payment processing provider. The Service allows informal community groups to self-organize service initiatives. The Service allows for-profit businesses to organize volunteer days for employees and offer appreciation rewards to volunteers. All users of the Service have the ability to post, share, and consume comments. Users are individuals or organizations who access the Service in any manner.

We reserve the right to refuse to provide the Service to any person or organization, for any reason or no reason, and/or to discontinue the Service in whole or in part, at any time, with or without prior notice.

3. Copyright

The entire contents of the Service are protected by international copyright and trademark laws and other proprietary rights. YOU MAY NOT MODIFY, COPY, REPRODUCE, REPUBLISH, UPLOAD, POST, TRANSMIT, OR DISTRIBUTE, IN ANY MANNER, THE MATERIAL ON THE SERVICE, INCLUDING TEXT, GRAPHICS, CODE AND/OR SOFTWARE WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT OF RAYZE.

Rayze will not tolerate violations of intellectual property rights on the Service. If you are a copyright owner and believe that any User Submission (defined in User Submissions section below) or other content infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). To provide Rayze notice of an infringement, you must send a written e-mail communication with the subject line “DMCA Infringement Notification Dept.” to support@rayzeapp.com that explains the information specified by the DMCA (see http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html#512). You may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you materially misrepresent that an activity is infringing your copyright.

4. User Submissions

Content submitted by users for inclusion on the Service (including, without limitation, any information submitted in posts, comments, in-app messaging, volunteer descriptions, event descriptions, appreciation rewards or other public areas of the Service) is sometimes referred to in these Terms of Service as “User Submissions.” Whether or not any User Submission is published, it will be subject to these Terms of Service. Rayze does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to a User Submission, regardless of whether or not it is published. You are solely responsible for your own User Submissions and the consequences of posting or publishing them. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents and permissions to your User Submissions (and all content included therein), including the right to authorize Rayze to use the User Submissions in the manner contemplated by the Service and these Terms of Service.

We neither endorse nor assume any liability for the contents of any User Submission. We generally do not pre-screen, monitor, or edit User Submissions. However, Rayze and our agents have the right, at our sole discretion, to remove any User Submission or other content that, in our judgment, does not comply with these Terms of Service or any other rules of user conduct for the Service, or is otherwise harmful, objectionable, or inaccurate. We are not responsible for any failure or delay in removing any such User Submission or other content. Users can also report content that they believe violates these Terms of Service by emailing us at support@rayzeapp.com. You hereby consent to such removal and waive any claim against us arising out of such removal of any User Submission, whether it is your own or another user’s. See “Copyright” above for a description of the procedures to be followed in the event that any party believes that a User Submission infringes on any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of publicity, or other proprietary right of any party.

5. Licenses

By providing a User Submission to the Service you hereby grant to Rayze a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide, perpetual license, with the right to sub-license, reproduce, distribute, transmit, create derivative works of, publicly display and publicly perform any User Submissions or any other materials or information (including, without limitation, ideas for new or improved products or services) you communicate to Rayze by all means and in any media now known or hereafter developed. You also grant to Rayze the right to use your name in connection with the submitted materials and other information as well as in connection with all advertising, marketing and promotional material related thereto.

9. Data Policy

When a user registers for an event or volunteer opportunity, we will share the user’s personal information, including but not limited to name, age, and gender, with the nonprofit or community group for the purpose of performing community service through Rayze. By registering for an opportunity or event, users grant permission for Rayze to share that user’s personal information and profile with the nonprofit or community group. The nonprofit organization or community group is required to respect the privacy of users. The nonprofit or community group has a limited license to use this information only for Rayze-related communications. The nonprofit organization or community group may use that personal information for no other purpose, such as but not limited to, sending unsolicited commercial messages or engaging in unauthorized transactions. You must not misuse any Rayze user’s personal information. You must comply with all relevant laws and regulations when you use Rayze. This includes applicable data protection and privacy laws which govern the ways in which you can use another user’s information.

10. Volunteering or Recruiting Volunteers

Volunteering or recruiting volunteers is at your sole risk. Unless otherwise noted, Rayze does not typically supervise events or volunteer initiatives and is not involved in any way with the actions of any individuals or entities (whether individual volunteers or nonprofit organizations or community groups) during any event or volunteer initiative. Furthermore, certain events or initiatives may be subject to eligibility restrictions (which may include the submission of further information and/or screenings), as determined solely by the entity or individual organizing such events or initiatives. As a result, Rayze has no control over, and is not responsible for, the identity or actions of the individuals who are present at these events or volunteer initiatives or the specific content of such events or initiatives, and we request that our users exercise caution and good judgment when participating in an event or volunteer initiative. You acknowledge and agree that by participating in any event or volunteer initiative (whether as a volunteer or representative of a nonprofit organization or community group) you may be exposed to a variety of risks and hazards, which may or may not be foreseen, including (without limitation) personal injury, property damage and death. You are solely responsible for all costs and/or risks associated with your participation in any event or volunteer initiative.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY RELEASE RAYZE AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “RAYZE PARTIES”) FROM ANY CLAIMS OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED OR UNDISCLOSED, RELATING TO YOUR PARTICIPATION IN OR EXCLUSION FROM ANY EVENT OR VOLUNTEER INITIATIVE. RAYZE DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY ARISING FROM ANY RELIANCE PLACED ON SUCH INFORMATION BY YOU OR ANY OTHER USER TO THE SERVICE, OR BY ANYONE WHO MAY BE INFORMED OF ANY OF ITS CONTENTS. YOU AGREE, UNDERSTAND, AND INTEND THAT THIS ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE IS BINDING UPON YOU AND YOUR HEIRS, EXECUTORS, AGENTS, ADMINISTRATORS AND ASSIGNS.

If applicable, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, in relevant part: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

11. No Solicitation or Endorsement

Rayze provides users with the ability to make a donation to a listed 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization of their choice. On occasion, we may also feature a nonprofit apart from the aggregated list. You acknowledge and agree that featuring a nonprofit on Rayze does not constitute a representation of the status of that organization or a solicitation of donations, and that we do not engage in any solicitation activities on behalf of any of the organizations that may be listed on Rayze. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, Rayze has no affiliation with any of the organizations listed on the Service.

12. Donations and Payment Processing

The sole and complete responsibility to assess, review and verify the suitability of any nonprofits you want to support through your donation through the Service rests entirely with you. It is your sole responsibility to review and research the nonprofits listed on Rayze and determine which, if any, you would like to donate to.

When a user selects a nonprofit to donate to, their donation is distributed to the organization through the organization’s Stripe account. Nonprofits that create a Stripe account of their own and link that account with ours (“Connected Account”) receive donations directly. When a donation is made through Rayze, it is directed to the nonprofit’s Stripe account. Rayze will collect a platform fee of .25% or $.25 per donation, whichever is greater, and which is subject to change at any time as reflected in the then-current version of these Terms of Service. Once the funds have been transferred to the Connected Account’s bank, Rayze is no longer in control of the funds.

Stripe’s terms can be found on https://stripe.com/us/legal

13. Payment Methods

We currently accept payment via credit card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Rayze uses Stripe to process credit and debit card transactions. Although the collection of your credit card or bank account information takes place on our Service, after your payment information is entered, it is securely transmitted to the applicable payment processor(s), which process all credit card and debit card donation/payment transactions and manage the routing of applicable customer information through the processing networks.

 

Rayze is not affiliated with any payment processor and we are not responsible in any way for their actions or performance (or lack thereof). Accordingly, Rayze expressly disclaims responsibility and liability for all services provided by any third party (including any payment processor), including those related to donation/payment transactions, and you hereby agree that we shall not be responsible for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as a result of your use of such services. Additionally, since Stripe will have access to the information you provide to them when making a donation/payment transaction, we recommend that you review their privacy policy – which can be accessed from their website located at www.stripe.com.

 

You acknowledge and agree that, for all donations/payment transactions, you will only use a valid credit or debit card or other accepted payment method, and that for all such payment methods you are the authorized account holder. Additionally, you also acknowledge and understand that, like any tax-deductible charitable donation, your donation may not be canceled or returned once it has been processed, all donations/payment transactions are final and non-refundable as soon as a donation is processed via the Service. If you have any questions regarding any payment transaction, please contact us by email at support@rayzeapp.com.

14. Use of Funds

Please note that all donations made through the Rayze are granted to nonprofits as unrestricted grants. Neither Rayze nor any of its officers, directors, members, managers, employees, affiliates, licensees or service providers monitors or controls any of the nonprofit’s activities, and shall not be responsible, in any manner or form, for the use or non-use of any funds granted through the Service to such nonprofits.

15. Appreciation Rewards

When using the Service, users may be granted offers, coupons, coupon codes, or other promotions from businesses as a token of appreciation for volunteer service or donations. By accepting such offers:

  1. You agree to comply with the terms and conditions associated with any offers, coupons, coupon codes, and other promotions available on or through the Services.
  2. You may only redeem each coupon once.
  3. You agree to comply with campaign and user limits and activate coupons for your own personal and non-commercial use.
  4. You agree not to sell, barter or transfer any coupon, or any electronic or hard copy of a coupon, to any third party.

  • We have the right to terminate or suspend your membership, account, payment, or other affiliation with the Service at any time and for any reason or no reason.

  • We will cooperate fully with investigations of violations of systems or network security at other sites, including cooperating with law enforcement authorities in investigating suspected criminal violations.
