Updates to the Terms:

We may update or change the Terms from time to time. Amendments will only apply prospectively. A given amendment will not apply to claims arising before, or arising from facts occurring before, the point in time when that amendment was published to the Website. We will let you know that the Terms have been updated or changed by publishing the date of the last amendment at the top of this page. You agree that this method of notice is sufficient and that you will regularly check these Terms for updates or changes.

Your Registration Obligations:

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 form. Fundraising Participants must register using their true identities, including their name and any image or video purporting to depict the Fundraising Participants or the beneficiary of such Fundraising Page. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy.

Age: If you are under 13 years of age (16 in Europe), 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 or 19 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 Pledge the Pink has entered into contracts, in order to be able to benefit from their services. If Pledge the Pink or one of our payments processors at any time discovers that the information you provided about you or the purpose of your Fundraising Page is incorrect or violates any of these Terms of Service or their terms of service, the Services may be suspended and/or terminated with immediate effect and fines may be applied by the relevant authorities which will in all such cases be payable by you. You acknowledge and agree that the use of third party payment processors are 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.

You may need a username and password to use certain features of the Services and you may create certain URLs when you establish a profile or fundraising page subject to these Terms. By selecting a user name and any particular URL, you agree that you will not select or use a name or URL: (a) of another person with the intent to impersonate that person; (b) subject to the rights of any person without authorization; (c) in violation of the intellectual property rights of any person; or (d) that Pledge the Pink, in its sole discretion, deems inappropriate or offensive. You hereby expressly permit Pledge the Pink to identify you by your user name (which may be a pseudonym).

You acknowledge and agree that you shall have no ownership or other property interest in your account, URL and/or user name, and you further acknowledge and agree that all rights in and to your user name and account are and shall forever be owned by and inure to the benefit of Pledge the Pink.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account information, and are responsible for all activities (whether by you or by others) that occur under your password or account. You will notify Pledge the Pink immediately of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security. Pledge the Pink assumes no liability for any loss or damage arising from any unauthorized use of your password or account by a third party. Pledge the Pink has the right to reclaim any user names or URLs for any reason.

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. Passwords should be changed regularly. You agree to (a) immediately notify Pledge the Pink 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. Pledge the Pink will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.

Public Display:

Donations:

Some of your activity on and through the Services is public, such as content you post publicly on the website. Additionally, user profile information, including your first and last name, public email address, photos, location, personal biography, and other information you enter in connection with your user profile may be displayed to other users to facilitate user interaction within the Services. For example, as a Donor, you have the option to publicly display your Donation for all to see. To keep the details of your Donation private, simply click the “Make this an anonymous donation” checkbox during the Donation process. Please remember that if you choose to provide information using certain 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. We therefore urge you to think carefully about including any specific information you may deem private in content that you create or information that you submit through the Services. Please see our Privacy Policy for information on the ways that we may collect, use, and store certain information about you and your use of the Services.
