Terms of Service

1. Who we are

Time for Impact ("TFI", "we", "us") operates a platform that connects people who offer their time, services, or gifts ("Volunteers") with people who, in exchange, make charitable donations ("Donors"). By creating an account or using the platform you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

TFI is organizing as a Washington nonprofit corporation; our formation filing is pending with the Washington Secretary of State. TFI is not a 501(c)(3) organization and is not tax-exempt. Donations are not made to TFI — see section 3.

2. We are a platform, not a party

TFI only facilitates introductions and scheduling. We are not a party to any agreement between Volunteers and Donors, we do not provide the services or gifts offered, and we do not guarantee that any Volunteer or Donor will perform as promised. Any dispute about the quality, delivery, or timing of an offering is between the Volunteer and the Donor.

3. Donations and charitable status

TFI is not the recipient of your donation. Donations are received and processed by Every.org, which grants them to the charity you select. TFI never receives, holds, or transmits donated funds, and does not itself donate money to any charity. TFI is not a charity and is not a tax advisor.

TFI does not issue donation receipts, and no communication from TFI is a receipt or substantiation of a charitable contribution. Any receipt comes from Every.org.

Whether any part of a donation is tax-deductible depends on the receiving charity and your personal circumstances. TFI does not calculate, verify, or represent any deductible amount, and no statement on the platform should be read as a representation that your donation is deductible in whole or in part. Consult your own tax advisor and rely on the receipt issued by Every.org.

TFI currently permits only offerings that the Volunteer does not provide commercially, each of which carries a stated fair market value of $0. Volunteers confirm this when publishing an offering. TFI does not independently verify those confirmations, and a Volunteer who lists an offering they do provide commercially is in breach of these Terms. Where a donation is in fact made in exchange for something of value, the deductible portion may be limited to the amount by which the donation exceeds that value.

Volunteers may not deduct the value of time or services they provide through the platform. See our giving FAQ.

Donations are generally non-refundable once processed, and TFI has no ability to reverse them.

Volunteers may set a minimum donation for an offering. If your donation is less than that minimum, the associated booking will not be confirmed — but the donation still goes to the charity and remains non-refundable. Check the minimum before donating.

4. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use TFI. You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information and for keeping your credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use TFI to:

• post false, misleading, fraudulent, or illegal offerings or content;
• harass, threaten, defame, or harm other users;
• infringe anyone's intellectual property or privacy rights;
• circumvent the donation flow or misrepresent charitable giving;
• list an offering you provide commercially, or misstate its fair market value;
• upload malware or attempt to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to the platform.

We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, at our discretion.

6. User content

You retain ownership of the content you submit (such as your bio, offering descriptions, and images). You grant TFI a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host and display that content for the purpose of operating the platform. You represent that you have the rights to the content you submit.

7. Third-party services

TFI integrates with third parties including Every.org (donations) and Cal.com (scheduling). Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services.

Charities shown on the platform are drawn from Every.org's directory and are selected by individual Volunteers as designation options. Their appearance is not an endorsement, partnership, sponsorship, or affiliation, and does not imply that the organization is aware of or supports TFI. Charity names and logos are the property of their respective organizations and are displayed for identification only. TFI is not affiliated with Every.org.

8. Disclaimers

The platform is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TFI will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from interactions between Volunteers and Donors, donations, or in-person meetings. Our total liability for any claim relating to the platform will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (USD 100).

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold TFI harmless from claims, damages, and expenses arising out of your use of the platform, your content, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.

11. Termination

You may stop using TFI at any time and may request deletion of your account by contacting us at the address below. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or to protect the platform or other users.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes we will take reasonable steps to notify you. Your continued use of the platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of these Terms or the platform that cannot be resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Washington, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable rights you have under the consumer-protection laws of the place where you live.

14. General

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and TFI regarding the platform. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
