Terms of Service

Last Updated: August 5, 2026

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Tap for Good donation terminal service (the "Service"), operated by Tap for Good PBC ("we", "our", or "us"). By using the Service — whether as a donor making a contribution or as an organization operating a terminal — you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. What the Service Is

Tap for Good provides contactless donation terminals: an iPad application paired with a card reader that allows nonprofit organizations to accept donations in person. We provide the software, the terminal experience, and an administrative dashboard where organizations manage their donation amounts, branding, and records.

3. Our Role — Technology Provider, Not the Charity

This is important, so we want to be direct about it:

• Tap for Good PBC is not a nonprofit organization and is not a charity.
• We are a technology service provider. We enable approved nonprofit organizations to accept donations.
• Donations made through a terminal go to the nonprofit organization operating that terminal — not to Tap for Good PBC.
• We do not solicit donations on our own behalf, and we do not control how a receiving organization uses the funds it collects.
• Any tax receipt or acknowledgment of your donation comes from the receiving organization, not from us. We make no representation about the tax-deductibility of any donation.

4. Payment Processing

All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. By making a donation you also agree to Stripe's applicable terms. We do not store your full card number, CVV, or PIN. See our Privacy Policy for details on what payment data we do retain.

5. Terms for Donors

• Donations are voluntary and are final once processed.
• If you believe a donation was made in error, or you wish to request a refund, contact the organization you donated to. Refund decisions rest with that organization. We can assist with the mechanics of a refund at the organization's direction, but we do not issue refunds on our own initiative.
• You must be authorized to use the payment method you present.
• Joining an organization's mailing list is entirely optional. If you opt in, your name and email are shared with that organization.

6. Terms for Organizations

If you operate a Tap for Good terminal, you agree that:

• You are a legitimate nonprofit or charitable organization, and the nonprofit status information you provide to us is accurate and current.
• You will notify us promptly if your nonprofit status changes or lapses.
• You are responsible for issuing tax receipts and donor acknowledgments as required by law in your jurisdiction.
• You are responsible for handling donor data you receive — including mailing list contacts — in compliance with applicable privacy and anti-spam law, and consistent with the consent donors gave.
• You will use donations for the charitable purposes you represent to donors.
• You are responsible for the security of your administrative account credentials and for the physical security of your terminal hardware.
• You will maintain your own Stripe account in good standing and comply with Stripe's terms.

We may suspend or terminate an organization's access to the Service if these obligations are not met, or if we reasonably believe the Service is being used improperly.

7. Acceptable Use

You may not use the Service to:

• Solicit donations under false pretenses, or misrepresent the identity or purpose of the receiving organization
• Process fraudulent, unauthorized, or laundered transactions
• Violate any applicable law, including charitable solicitation registration requirements
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other organizations' data, or the underlying systems
• Interfere with or disrupt the operation of the Service

8. Intellectual Property

The Service — including its software, design, and the Tap for Good name and marks — is owned by Tap for Good PBC. Organizations retain ownership of the logos, text, and branding they upload, and grant us a limited license to display that content within their own terminal and dashboard for the purpose of operating the Service.

9. Service Availability and Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". We work to keep terminals running reliably, but we do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of defects. Donation processing depends on third parties — including Stripe, card networks, and network connectivity — that are outside our control.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tap for Good PBC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost donations, lost revenue, or lost data, arising from your use of the Service.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [TODO: state of incorporation], without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. Any dispute arising under these Terms will be brought in the state or federal courts located in that jurisdiction.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
