ARTICLE II.  Payline Giving Terms & Conditions

1. All Payline Terms of Service and Conditions as outlined in Article II of this page are applicable to all commercial co-ventures between Payline and any qualifying Non-profit or Charity organizations.
2. Payline believes in supporting non-profits and our local community. Because of that, we make it a part of our mission to give back and make a difference.
3. Payline may, from time to time, survey our merchants and utilize this feedback as one of many resources to aid in the choice of where to distribute donations.  Merchants of Payline neither contribute directly to non-profit donations nor receive any taxable benefit from our philanthropy. Donations are not directly tied to merchant processing volume or purchases of services from Payline. Payline reserves the right to direct all donations to the non-Profits or charitable organizations that it chooses.
4. Additionally, Payline offers a commercial co-venture program to non-Profits and charitable organizations worldwide. Participating 501(c)(3) organizations will have the ability to refer merchants to Payline. The organization will receive a percentage of net revenue as a donation for the period of time that the merchant processes payments with Payline.  Full details are included in our Commercial Co-Venture Agreement.
5. Should a non-profit dispute any payment, it must notify Payline in writing within thirty (30) days of any such payment; failure to so notify Payline will result in non-profit’s waiver of any claim relating to the disputed payment.
6. Donations are made to qualifying non-profits by Payline. As such, merchants that choose or are allocated to participate in the Payline Giving Program release all rights and claims, both legal and financial to the donated funds.
7. Payline is not an agent, partner, or joint venturer of any non-profit. Payline does not endorse any entity’s products, services, political candidates or political causes other than its own. Nor is Payline a tax-exempt organization. Purchases of Payline services or products are not tax deductible.
8. The Payline Terms of Service and Conditions herein shall be in effect as of January 1, 2015. Prior to this date, some merchants were a part of an alternate Payline Giving Program. That program has been replaced with the current program described above.
