Terms of service

In brief, or what you should know before starting a Fundraiser.

1. How does 4fund.com work?
   
   4fund.com is a tool that enables you to raise funds for almost any purpose. With the support of other users of our site, you can collect donations to achieve your goals.
   
   Using our website is free of charge. We do not impose any commission on deposits or withdrawals nor any fee on creation and functioning of your Fundraiser. We will, however, ask you and your Supporters to make a small optional donation to our account when making transfers to or from a Fundraiser. You will be able to freely adjust the amount of said donation or refrain from making it if you just don’t feel like supporting us. Premium options, such as promoting your Fundraiser on our website, are the only services for which we impose mandatory fees.
   
   It is important that you state clearly what the purpose of your Fundraiser is - if you describe it in detail, you will get more interest from the Supporters who will know exactly what they are donating for. Besides, when collecting donations, you enter an agreement with your Supporters, so it is important to specify its terms. Even if you offer no nothing in return for the donations, the description of your Fundraiser will tell your Supporters how you are going to use the raised funds and they may expect you to act as you promised.
   
   
2. Account verification - when can you start collecting donations?
   
   We act as a licensed payment services provider. To provide such services we need to comply with the applicable anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism regulations. This requires us to verify the identity of our customers before we give them the option to raise money on our Website.
   
   We have done our best to make this process as quick and easy as possible. To verify your identity you will just need a valid National Identity Card, Passport or Residence Permit issued in one of the  European Economic Area countries. Once you fill in your personal data in the identification form on our website, you will be directed to a widget provided by our partner - Onfido limited with its registered office in Great Britain. It will guide you through the identity verification process that should take no longer than 5 minutes.
   
   In order to withdraw the funds gathered on your Fundraisers you will also need a Mastercard or VISA payment card. After your identity is verified, and before the first withdrawal you’ll need to provide the details of your card on a secure site, where you will verify your card. After a payment card is assigned to your 4fund.com account, all withdrawals will be made to the bank account of the card, in near-real time thanks to the VISA Direct ® and Mastercard Send ® solutions.
   
   Important! Please check in advance if your bank supports the VISA Direct ® or Mastercard Send ® solution - in the case of some banks, they might be currently unavailable, which will make withdrawals impossible. If your bank does not support VISA Direct ® and Mastercard Send ® solutions yet, we recommend that you acquire a payment card from a provider that does, such as e.g. ZEN, before you decide to withdraw the funds you collected with us.
   
   There are a few ground roles for a 4fund.com account:
   
   
   1. Only natural persons can open an account by using our standard online registration and verification. If you represent a legal person or other entity, you may contact us at or by using a special form available in the registration process and verification process and we may decide to open an account for it. If we do so, we will guide you through the onboarding process. Please note that the following Regulations directly apply only to accounts of natural persons. For legal persons or other entities, their provisions may be applied differently and we may further specify the terms of use of the Website in a separate agreement.
   2. To create a 4fund.com account, you must be a resident of one of the European Economic Area countries. You will also need to be a holder of Mastercard or Visa payment card issued in one of the European Economic Area countries by a financial institution that supports the VISA Direct ® or Mastercard Send ® solution to withdraw the funds collected on your Fundraiser;
   3. One person can only hold one 4fund.com account. You can, however, organise as many Fundraisers as you like;
   4. An account may only belong to one person. We do not offer shared accounts. You are also not able to transfer your account to someone else;
   5. Only one card can be assigned to your 4fund.com account at a time. You may change the card linked with your 4.fund.com account, though there is a limit of no more than 3 such changes in 30 days.
   
   
   
3. Fundraiser’s purpose verification
   
   We attach great importance to the security and reliability of Fundraisers that are organised on our site. We believe that Supporters have the right to know that when they donate to a specific Fundraiser, their money will be spent exactly as its description states. Therefore, we have introduced procedures of Fundraisers’ verification.
   
   In this process we will ask you to provide the documents that will prove that the purpose of your Fundraiser and any relevant information you provide in its description are true. Any Fundraiser may be subject to verification at any time. Verification is mandatory if the sum of the collected funds exceeds 5.000 € on one Fundraiser or the overall sum collected on all your Fundraisers exceeds 12.500 €. From the moment we start the verification, until this procedure is completed, you will not be able to withdraw the funds from your Fundraiser. Please remember to keep all the invoices, transfer confirmations, or any other relevant documents.
   
   The documents we will ask you to provide depend on the purpose of the Fundraiser and the circumstances stated in its description. For example, if you are fundraising to gather money for treatment, you should be able to provide the documents to prove the medical condition that you describe. If, after you've made withdrawals from your Fundraiser, any suspicions arise regarding the actual spending of the funds, we may also ask you to provide us with documents that will show how the money was spent.
   
   You will be able to upload all the required documents as scans or photographs directly at your User Profile on 4fund.com. Our employees will guide you through the verification process and will remain at your disposal for any questions you may have.
   
   It is important that you regularly check the inbox of an email that you have provided us. If we start the verification process and don’t get the required documents from you in 14 days, we may stop your Fundraiser and return its balance back to the Supporters.
   
   
4. What can you fundraise for and what is forbidden
   
   On 4fund.com you can fundraise for almost anything, as long as it remains within the boundaries of law. You can gather money for charity, as well as for your private goals. We do not judge your Fundraiser’s purpose based on political or social beliefs and it is not up to us, but to your Supporters, to decide whether it is worth donating for.
   
   Still, there are some activities that are prohibited on 4fund.com:
   
   
   1. You may not fundraise for any purpose that would be illegal in your country or in Poland (the country of our registered office). Polish law does not prohibit most Fundraisers' purposes, but with one notable exception - you may not fundraise to cover fines or bail imposed in the criminal proceedings.
   2. The purpose or the description of your Fundraiser may not endorse, support or promote hatred, violence, discrimination, terrorism, fascism or other totalitarian regimes, or publicly condone crimes.
   3. You may not harm, slander or defame anyone through your Fundraiser. This applies both to your Fundraiser’s purpose and its description. You may fundraise to finance legal proceedings against someone (e.g. to pay lawyers fees), but if you indicate any circumstances that may defame someone in the description of your Fundraiser, and that someone raises objections to us, you will have to prove that what you write is true with an appropriate official document (e.g. a relevant court judgment). Remember that 4fund.com is neither a court of law nor a place of dispute resolution.
   4. You may not fundraise to buy weapons (regardless of legality of such purchase).
   5. You may not fundraise to finance gambling, prostitution or pornography (regardless of legality of such activities).
   6. You may not use 4fund.com to finance or spread misinformation or fake news. If we find what you write in your Fundraiser’s description doubtful, we will need you to prove it. Keep your Fundraiser’s description true and verifiable.
   7. You may not offer shares in companies for donating to your Fundraiser or construct a Fundraiser where the donations would be treated as loans to you from your Supporters.This is because we are a donation-based crowdfunding site, not an equity crowdfunding one - if your business plan includes such a solution, we suggest you use a specialized site.
      
      
5. Liability
   
   As an Organiser of a Fundraiser, you are solely responsible for all the obligations that arise from it. You are the one that has to ensure the collected funds are used for the purpose stated in the Fundraiser’s description, and it is up to you to deliver the subject of any Offers to the Supporters if you made them. You are also obliged to assess and fulfill any tax duties that arise from the donations you acquire.
   
   Any agreement that is struck by the fact of organising and supporting a Fundraiser (including agreement concerning any Offers that you have made) is concludedbetween you and your Supporters. We do not become a party to such an agreement and therefore we bear no liability for meeting the purpose of a Fundraiser or fulfillment of other obligations by the Organiser.
   
   Although we do our best to prevent fraudulent Fundraisers, we offer no guarantee that a specific Fundraiser will not turn out to be a fraud. We might (and will) report any confirmed frauds on our site to the competent authorities, and - unless otherwise instructed by such authorities - return the Donations back to the Supporters up to the current balance of a Fundraiser. We bear no responsibility for restitution of funds that the perpetrator has already managed to withdraw from their Fundraiser’s Account, however.
   
   If you are considering supporting a Fundraiser but have doubts about its reliability, you can always contact the person organising it by clicking the “Contact the organiser” button on their Organiser’s profile and ask for further explanations.
   
   If you suspect or have information on a fraud or other abuse on a Fundraiser, please report it to us. If you have any specific first-hand information on the situation, or are in possession of documents that might help to prove the abuse, include them in your report. We take all abuse reports seriously and if the report raises suspicion on the actual abuse, we always start our verification procedures and block the withdrawals until they are done.
   
   
6. Fundraisers for the Beneficiary
   
   On 4fund.com you may fundraise for your own purposes as well as to help someone else. If your Fundraiser is organised to help realize someone else’s goals - e.g. to fund treatment for your relative, to help a victim of a house fire, or to donate to a specific charity organization, we call the person that will ultimately benefit from your Fundraiser ‘the Beneficiary’. Both individuals and organizations can become Beneficiaries.
   
   You will need the Beneficiary's written approval to organise a Fundraiser for them, as well as their consent to you providing us with their personal data and documents for the Fundraiser’s verification procedures. This should come with a scan of the Beneficiary’s ID (ID of a representative authorized to grant consent on behalf of the organization in the case of legal persons). You will find an applicable form of Beneficiary’s consent on our website.
   
   If we start the verification procedure of your Fundraiser, we will ask you to provide the Beneficiary’s consent in addition to the standard set of documents needed to prove the veracity of the Fundraiser's description. In order to avoid problems, you should acquire them before you start the Fundraiser and keep them at hand.
   
   Obtaining and maintaining the Beneficiary’s consent and documents is your duty as an Organiser of a Fundraiser. Therefore, you will not be able to finish the Fundraiser’s verification process if you don’t have them, which might ultimately result in your Fundraiser being stopped and the gathered funds returned back to the Supporters.
   
   Even if you organise a Fundraiser for a Beneficiary, you are still our customer and the only person that has a legal agreement with us. The Beneficiary is not entitled to demand that we transfer the funds gathered on the Fundraiser directly to them and is not treated as the funds’ owner. The conditions upon which you will transfer the funds to the Beneficiary or use them to support their goal should be agreed between you two. However, the Beneficiary may report to us that the funds might have been misused, in which case you will be asked to prove how you spent them.
   
   
7. Offers and Auctions
   
   On 4fund.com you may make Offers to your Supporters in return for their Donations. This is entirely optional - your Fundraiser may also be based on a pure donation model. It may make your Fundraiser more popular, enable you to treat your Fundraiser as a source of income for your work or as a place to sell the wares you offer, however.
   
   Any item, service or intangible asset that the Organiser undertakes to provide to the Supporter in exchange for a Donation in a fixed minimum amount made to their Fundraiser can be an Offer (making the Donation, in fact, a payment for the Offer rather than a donation in strict meaning). If the Organiser makes any Offers on their Fundraiser, a Supporter may choose an Offer from the list and make a Donation in at least the minimum amount stated as the Offer’s price. A contract is struck between the Organiser and the Supporter, the subject of which is the transfer of the purchased Prize to the Supporter.
   
   We are not a party to the agreement concluded between the Supporter and the Organiser who made the Offer and are not responsible for the delivery of the promised subject of the Offer. If the Supporter informs us that the Organiser has failed to fulfill their obligation, we may, however, ask the Organiser to provide us with a relevant proof of delivery. In such an instance, if we do not receive it or it raises doubts, we may provide the data of the Organiser to the Supporter in order to enable them to pursue their claims outside 4fund.com. We may also block or delete the User Account of an Organiser who fails to fulfill their obligations towards the Supporters who bought the Offers.
   
   Offers may be made at the "Buy Now" option, where the Organiser indicates the minimum amount for which the Offer can be purchased (it is possible to purchase the Offer and support the Fundraiser with an amount higher than the minimum payment amount set by its Organiser making the Offer), or offered on an Auction.
   
   If an Offer is connected with an Auction, bids may only be submitted by logged in Registered Users. The User that has placed the highest bid to purchase the Offer until the Auction is over can claim the Offer. They have 24 hours to pay for the Offer by making a Donation to the Fundraiser in their bidding amount - if they do not do so, the Organiser may decide to sell it to the person who submitted the next highest bid.
   
   
8. Founders’ Offers
   
   Apart from the Offers made by the Organiser, Offers on their Fundraiser may be made by other Verified Users of our Website, as an alternative way of supporting a Fundraiser apart from making a Donation to it. Such Offers are called ‘Founders’ Offers’ and may be made only if the Organiser has enabled such an option for a given Fundraiser.
   
   Founders’ Offers work similarly to the regular Offers, and may be made at the ‘’Buy Now” option or on an Auction. When such an Offer is bought, two separate agreements are made - a sales agreement between the Founder and the buyer of the Offer, and a donation agreement between the Founder and the Organiser of the Fundraiser. The amount of payment for the Offer is transferred directly to the Fundraiser’s Account of a Fundraiser to which the Founder’s Offer was connected.
   
   
9. Moneyboxes
   
   Any Registered User can support chosen Fundraiser thanks to the Moneybox feature. A Moneybox allows Users to create a copy of an original Fundraiser created by the Organiser, and to add a custom description and title to their Moneybox. A Moneybox can be created for any Fundraiser unless the Organiser disables this feature for a specific Fundraiser(s). It is important to note that a Moneybox is not a separate Fundraiser - all funds collected on a Moneybox are directly transferred to the Fundraiser’s Account, making its Organiser the sole owner of the donations collected through your Moneybox. A Moneybox helps to identify a separate group of Supporters who make donations to the Organiser’s Fundraiser through a Moneybox. Creating a Moneybox allows you to support a selected Fundraiser and the Organiser will be informed of the funds collected through your Moneybox. This service is perfect for managing large Fundraisers (e.g. organised by charity foundations), where each Moneybox may indicate the amount of funds collected thanks to the efforts of each individual volunteer.

   5. We are an intermediary that enables the conclusion of contracts between the Supporter and the Organiser.

3. ACCOUNT CREATION AND IDENTITY VERIFICATION

   1. In order to create a new 4fund.com account and become a Registered User, you need to fill in all the fields in the registration form available on the Website by stating your name, surname and email address, as well as setting a password. Once you confirm your email address by typing in a digit code we send you by an email, your User Account will be registered and you will be able to log in. The email you provide us with will be the primary form of communication between us and the address where you will be receiving digit codes needed for two-step verification of some transactions or actions on the Website.
   2. The name and surname you state on the registration form must be true and match the data we will later confirm in the identity verification process.
   3. To become a Verified User, you will need to complete an identity verification procedure by clicking the ‘Account verification’ button on your dashboard after logging in and following the steps indicated on the screen. You will need to fill in a slightly longer identification form where we will collect your data that we are obliged by law to identify, after which you will be redirected to an Onfido Ltd. widget where you will need to provide a photo of your identification document (EEA - issued National Identity Card, Passport or Residence Permit) and perform a short liveness check. The data that you provide in the identification form must match the data confirmed in the verification process - if the data differs, you will be unable to complete the verification. After Onfido Ltd. confirms your data, your account will be verified.
   4. The data you provide during the verification process must be true and your own. Using another person's data and/or documents in the verification process is prohibited and may be subject to criminal prosecution. If we become aware of the use of such data or documents, we may block the User’s Account and report the matter to the relevant authorities.
   5. Each User is allowed to have only one User Account, and each User Account may only belong to one individual. We may delete duplicate or shared accounts with no prior notice as well as take measures to prevent creation of such accounts.

4. ORGANISING AND SUPPORTING FUNDRAISERS

   1. To create a Fundraiser, the Organiser must state its title, provide its description and state the sum needed to meet the Fundraiser’s purpose. The Organiser may also optionally add photos and make Offers on the Fundraiser.
   2. The purpose of the Fundraiser may not be illegal according to the Polish law as well as according to the law of the country of its Organiser’s residence. Regardless of the legality of such purpose, it is also forbidden to create Fundraisers:
      1. that promote, condone or support crimes, hatred, violence, fascism, totalitarianism, terrorism, discrimination, or infringe personal or intellectual rights of other person;
      2. that would finance the purchase of weapons;
      3. that would finance prostitution, pornography or gambling;
      4. that offer shares in companies as Offers or promise them in Fundraiser’s description;
      5. that would treat the Donations as loans from the Supporters to the Organiser;
      6. that would serve as a way of collecting payment for services or purchase of goods that are not clearly described in the Fundraiser’s description while the Fundraiser is falsely described as based on a pure donation model.
      If you organise such a Fundraiser we may delete it and return the Donations back to the Supporters, as well as suspend or delete your User Account.
   3. The description of the Fundraiser must be comprehensive enough to let us and the potential Supporters identify precisely what the funds are being raised for. Any circumstances stated in the description must be true and verifiable. It is forbidden to use derogatory language, leave the description blank or incomprehensive, as well as to insult or defame anyone while describing the Fundraiser’s purpose. We may temporarily block your Fundraiser and ask you to change such a description within a specified time, after which we may delete your Fundraiser if you don’t comply. In the case of obvious or drastic violations, we may also delete your Fundraiser without prior notice and delete or suspend your User Account.
   4. We may provide automated, AI-based tools on the Website to help the Organiser generate a description of their Fundraiser in accordance with their instructions. In such a case, the Organiser has the ability to freely adjust, change or modify the machine-generated description. Using these tools is only intended as an aid in formulating the description and in no way waives the Organiser’s responsibility for the Fundraiser’s description being compliant with the Regulations, particularly pt. 4.3. above. The Organiser is obliged to duly check and - if necessary - modify the description before accepting it. AI-based tools may also be used to create images (cover photos) on the Fundraiser’s page, descriptions of the Offers made on the Fundraiser and the Fundraiser’s title - if the Organiser decides to use them, the above mentioned rules apply accordingly. Any images created in this way will be clearly marked as AI-generated.
   5. If your Fundraiser aims to collect a sum of 35.000 € or higher, its description should also include an indicative cost estimate showing the expected expenses that will be covered from the raised funds, together with the priority with which they will be settled. It should also - if possible - state the purpose to which the surplus money gathered will be spent if the expected sum is exceeded and may state an alternative purpose if the goal is not met and can be realized only with the aimed amount. This does not apply to Fundraisers created on behalf of the Fixed Beneficiary. However, for security reasons in a given case, we may require the cost estimate to be added in the description of such Fundraiser.
   6. From the moment the first Donation to a Fundraiser is made, it is forbidden to change its Beneficiary or its purpose. If we become aware of such a change, we may delete the Fundraiser and return its current balance to the Supporters. You may only change the description to further specify the original Project or to describe new circumstances concerning its purpose. To prevent changing the purpose of a Fundraiser, we may limit or block the ability to change its description, especially when the Fundraiser’s purpose has already been verified as stipulated in pt. 5.
   7. As an exception from the restriction made in pt 4.6., if the sum expected to be gathered on your Fundraiser is significantly exceeded, and the description didn’t state a purpose for the use of the surplus funds, you may contact us and we may allow you to state a purpose to which the surplus funds will be used. We may also ask you to state such an additional purpose if you didn’t contact us. Such an additional purpose should be as close as possible to the original purpose of the Fundraiser (e.g. to help other people in a situation similar to the Beneficiary’s case or to donate to a specific charity that helps in such cases).
   8. In the case of Fundraisers organised for the Beneficiary it is necessary to acquire - before starting a Fundraiser - such person’s written approval to the Fundraiser being organised as well as consent to us processing their personal data together with their ID scans (in the case of natural persons) or documents showing the authorization of a specific person to act on behalf of the Beneficiary, consent of a person with such authorization to organise a Fundraiser for such Beneficiary and a scan of their ID (in the case of Beneficiaries who are not natural persons) - forms available here. We may request the above documents during the verification procedures described in pt. 5 of the Regulations or at any other time. In the event of the Beneficiary's refusal to conduct the Fundraiser for their benefit or failure to deliver the documents described above within the prescribed period (not shorter than 7 days), we may delete the Fundraiser and return its balance back to the Supporters.
   9. In the case of the Beneficiary’s death, or if the Fundraiser’s purpose cannot be met out of reasons objective and independent from its Organiser, the Organiser should immediately notify us of this fact. We will temporarily block the Fundraiser, and its Organiser may, as they choose:
      1. order us to return the Fundraiser’s balance back to the Supporters, in which case the Fundraiser is deleted afterwards or;
      2. set a new purpose of the Fundraiser, in which case the Organiser should change its description stating this new purpose as well as prepare a message to the Supporters, notifying them of the event that made the Fundraiser’s original purpose impossible to achieve and of the new purpose that it will serve. The message should be sent to us to and we will post it to all of the Fundraiser’s Supporters. The withdrawals from the Fundraiser’s Account will remain blocked for the period of 14 days after the message has been sent, in which time the Supporters may contact us directly asking for the refund of their Donations. We refund the Donations when asked, up to the balance of the Fundraiser. After the 14-days have passed, the Supporters are considered to have accepted the new purpose, and the Fundraiser may be continued freely.
      From the moment we acquire information of the Fundraiser’s purpose becoming impossible to achieve until the Organiser chooses one of the solutions given in pt. 4.9.1. or 4.9.2. above, we also refund any Donations when the Fundraiser’s Supporters contact us with such a request (up to the Fundraiser’s balance).
   10. The Fundraiser’s Organiser bears responsibility for any chargebacks directed against the Donations made to their Fundraiser. We may deduct any costs incurred by such chargebacks from the account of the Fundraiser or - if the balance on the Fundraiser is insufficient to cover them - from the accounts of other Fundraisers of the same Organiser.
   11. To donate to a Fundraiser and become its Supporter you need to choose one of the payment methods available on the Website, set the amount of payment (minimum Donation is 1 €) as well as state your email and accept these Regulations and Privacy Policy. You may also optionally state your name and surname. Unless otherwise stipulated in the Regulations (e.g. in the case of Recurring Donations), you don’t need to be registered or logged in on the Website to donate. The Donation payment process is handled by external payment service providers and is not part of the payment services provided by us - therefore it is necessary to accept their terms of service as well to make a Donation.
   12. The Fundraiser’s Accounts are held in euro currency. Any Donations made in other currencies or withdrawals to the bank accounts held in other currencies may be subject to third-party exchange fees and rates. However, when making a Donation using Google Pay, Apple Pay or Pay By Card payment method, the Supporters may choose to make the payment in a currency other than euro. In that case, the funds will be exchanged to euro currency by our partner after they’ve been debited from the Supporter’s account - the Supporter will be provided with the exact information on the amount in euro currency that will be credited to the Fundraiser’s Account and their own account will be debited in the amount set by them in their chosen currency. Please note, that if the chosen currency differs from the currency of the Supporter’s account to be debited, third-party exchange fees and rates still may apply.
   13. Making withdrawals from the Fundraiser’s Account is available after the Organiser assigns a VISA or MasterCard payment card issued by a bank or other financial institution that supports the VISA Direct ® and/or Mastercard Send ® solution (respectively) to their User Account, which they may do immediately after completing the identity verification procedure stipulated in pt. 3.3. or at any later moment from their User Account. Assigning the card to the User Account requires providing its data and performing verification in which a small charge will be made to the card and automatically returned to its account. The Organiser should be an owner of the bank account to which this card was issued - using someone else's card may result in an inability to assign the card to the User Account. The Organiser may change the card assigned to their User Account at any time, however, each time it must be a card issued for their own bank account. Only one card may be assigned to the User Account at a time. The Organiser may change the payment card assigned to their User Account no more than 3 times in 30 days. All withdrawals will be made to the bank account to which the card assigned to the User Account was issued. The Organiser may withdraw the money up to the current balance of the Fundraiser's Account.
   14. If the Organiser experiences issues when attempting to make withdrawals to a VISA or MasterCard payment card or assigning such a card to their User Account, they should contact us by email at . We will then provide the Organiser with step by step instructions on the solution, which may include making withdrawals to a ZEN account or by wire transfer to the Organiser's bank account held within an EEA-based bank.
   15. Moneybox can be created by any Registered User for a specific Fundraiser if its Organiser has not disabled such an option on their Fundraiser.
   16. Each Moneybox's page contains information indicating that the funds are collected for the specified Fundraiser, as well as information on the total amount collected on this Fundraiser and the amount collected through the Moneybox.
   17. The Moneybox is not a separate Fundraiser. The Moneybox’s Organiser has no access to funds collected on the Moneybox. A separate payment account is not created for the Moneybox. Donations collected through a Moneybox are directly transferred to a Fundraiser’s Account for which the Moneybox’s Organiser has created the Moneybox. The Organiser of the Fundraiser is the sole owner of the donations collected through the Moneybox.
   18. The Moneybox is not a payment service.
   19. Deleting or disabling a Fundraiser results in deleting or disabling all Moneyboxes connected to it.
   20. In order to create a Fundraiser for the benefit of one of the entities listed on the Fixed Beneficiaries list, the Organiser must follow the rules set below - such entities may not be Beneficiaries of the standard Fundraisers where the Organiser is able to withdraw the Donations to their own account. Such Fundraisers may be created by selecting the chosen organization from the list and following the steps on the screen. All of the funds gathered on such Fundraiser will be withdrawn directly to the Fixed Beneficiary’s bank account when the Organiser instructs us to make a withdrawal. If the Organiser delays the withdrawal, we – at the request of the Fixed Beneficiary – can make the withdrawal directly to the Fixed Beneficiary’s bank account, without the Organiser’s permission. Any disputes between the Organiser and the Fixed Beneficiary should be resolved without our participation.
   21. After the Fundraiser is created, the Organiser can not revoke the priorly chosen Fixed Beneficiary. When a Fundraiser for the Fixed Beneficiary is created, the Fixed Beneficiary is informed of its creation via email. The Fixed Beneficiary may decline a specific Fundraiser for their benefit, in which case the Fundraiser is deleted. 
   22. A Fundraiser created for the benefit of a Fixed Beneficiary includes information that the funds are collected for the Fixed Beneficiary which is a party to the donation agreement concluded with Supporters. The Organiser is not a party to such agreement and is only supporting the Fixed Beneficiary in reaching their goal.
   23. We can delete a Fundraiser for the benefit of a Fixed Beneficiary that would be organised disregarding the procedure described above, and return the Donations to the Supporters. However, before we do this, we will enable the Organiser to follow this procedure and - should the Fixed Beneficiary accept their Fundraiser - to continue it as if it had been organised following the procedure from the beginning.
   24. If the Fixed Beneficiary deletes their account, all of the Fundraisers connected to it will be deleted. However, if there are funds on such Fundraisers, the Fixed Beneficiary should request the withdrawal first. After we carry out this order, Fundraisers will be deleted.

5. FUNDRAISER’S PURPOSE VERIFICATION

   1. We may verify the purpose of any Fundraiser at any time, especially when we receive abuse reports, the Fundraiser’s declared purpose seems doubtful, impossible to achieve or illegal, the Fundraiser raises suspicions of fraud or other violation of these Regulations, or its purpose is charitable and the Organiser decides to make it a Public Fundraiser. Verification is mandatory when the sum of funds collected on the Fundraiser’s Account is equal to or exceeds 5.000 €, disregarding any withdrawals made from the account. If the sum of the funds collected on all of the Fundraisers of one Organiser exceeds 12.500 €, disregarding any withdrawals, we may verify all or chosen Fundraisers created by this Organiser.
   2. We will notify the Organiser of commencing the verification process by email. In the verification process we will ask the Organiser to provide us with documents that will support the veracity of the Fundraiser’s purpose, the set of which will be determined by the Fundraiser’s description. We may ask for the documents proving any substantial information (i.e. information that may influence potential Supporter’s decision on donating to the Fundraiser), and the authorisation of the Organiser to conduct a Fundraiser (Beneficiary’s approval). We may also base the verification on publicly available information concerning the Fundraiser or its Organiser if it is credible. In justified cases we may also rely on information or statements provided by the Organiser or third parties (e.g. the Beneficiary) or proof of spending the funds that have already been withdrawn from the Fundraiser’s Account before we decided to verify it. The method of a specific Fundraiser’s purpose verification is at our own discretion.
   3. Any documents used in the verification process should be uploaded in scans or photographs directly from the Organiser’s User Account. They should be in English or Polish or provided with a certified translation to English or Polish, legible, of sufficient resolution, and folly visible (no cropped edges).
   4. The Organiser should be authorized to provide us with any documents used in the verification process. If the documents concern a third person (e.g. the Beneficiary), the Organiser should obtain and maintain that person’s approval to provide us with these documents and to us processing their personal data (such approval is included in the Beneficiary’s approval form - you can find it here). Should the documents include the data concerning health, the Organiser must obtain a separate approval of the person that the data is of (in case of Beneficiary, this is included in a specific form - you can find it here). If the documents or the data included therein are subject to any legally protected secret (medical, judicial, professional etc.) it is up to the Organiser to acquire an approval to disclose it to us from the person authorized to grant it. The Organiser of a Fundraiser cannot avoid providing us with documents by invoking any lack of consent of a third party or any secrecy.
   5. Any documents provided in the process of verification will be kept confidential and will be used only for verification of the Fundraiser they concern. We generally do not share these documents with third parties, unless legally forced to. However, in justified cases, especially when the documents provided in the process of verification raise suspicions to their authenticity, we may contact their alleged issuer to certify their originality. We can also share these documents with other service providers taking part in a given transaction chain when conducting AML/TF procedures, if it is necessary to conduct them properly.
   6. From the moment we start the verification of a Fundraiser, until the procedure is over, we may block the withdrawals from the Fundraiser’s Account. If the Fundraiser raises suspicion of fraud or any other illegal action, we may also block the withdrawals on any other Fundraisers of the Organiser. When a Fundraiser exceeds the limit of 5.000 € as stipulated in pt. 5.1, withdrawals are blocked automatically. If the sum of the funds collected on all of the Fundraisers of one Organiser exceeds 12.500 €, withdrawals are blocked automatically on all of the User’s Fundraisers.
   7. Verification is complete and withdrawals are unblocked once the documents we acquire, or other information provided during the process prove the veracity of a Fundraiser at a satisfactory level. We may not abandon verification of a Fundraiser once we have commenced it, regardless of the reason for verification. Once we complete the verification, we may confirm it with an appropriate tag on the Fundraiser.
   8. If the Organiser fails to complete the verification process in 14 days after they have been notified of us commencing it, either by ignoring the verification or not providing the required documents, we may stop their Fundraiser and return the Donations back to the Supporters, up to the Fundraiser’s Account balance. This period may be extended in justified cases, especially if we ask for the additional documents.
   9. If the Organiser fails to complete the verification process, we may also delete other Fundraisers on their User Account and return their Fundraiser’s Account balance back to the Supporters, unless these Fundraisers raise no suspicion of fraud, especially when they have already been verified as stipulated in this point. In justified cases, particularly when the Organiser’s failure to verify the Fundraiser brings suspicions of fraud or other illegal action, we may also suspend or delete their User Account.
   10. If there are any justified suspicions about the actual spending of funds already withdrawn from the Fundraiser’s Account, particularly when we acquire reports on funds’ misuse from the Beneficiary, we may also ask the Organiser to provide relevant proof of these funds spending (e.g. transfer confirmations, invoices or bills). In this case, the provisions of points 5.2. - 5.9. are applicable.

6. PRIVATE AND PUBLIC FUNDRAISERS

   1. Any Fundraiser organised on the Website starts as a Private Fundraiser. Private Fundraisers are available for the select group of people that the Organiser decides to invite to support them. They should be promoted by the Organiser himself (e.g. on their social media) among friends and relatives to preserve the private character of the Fundraiser. These Fundraisers are the best option for strictly private initiatives (e.g. a whip-round among friends to buy a birthday gift for someone).
   2. Any Fundraiser may be promoted to a Public Fundraiser by the Organiser purchasing one of the premium options available on the Website (e.g. the Fundraiser’s advertising on the Public Fundraiser’s list). Public Fundraisers are available to an unlimited circle of potential Supporters and may be advertised on the Website or outside the Website according to the premium options purchased by the Organiser. These Fundraisers are the best option for larger projects (e.g. for charity, business initiatives, etc.).
   3. We may decline to promote any Fundraiser to a Public Fundraiser, especially when its purpose or description is drastic, doubtful or the circumstances included in its description indicate that there are ongoing legal proceedings that may influence the accuracy or veracity of the Fundraiser’s description. In that case, we do not charge the Organiser for the purchased premium options and refund any fees if they have already been paid. If the Fundraiser is not illegal or it does not violate these Regulations in any other way, it may be continued as a Private Fundraiser.
   4. Once the status of a Public Fundraiser is granted, it is impossible to modify the title, description, or the goal amount to be raised on the Fundraiser.

7. RECURRING SUPPORT

   1. The option to provide Recurring Support to a Fundraiser is available only to the Registered Users (in order to enable them to stop such payments at any time directly from their User Account).
   2. Recurring Support can be made only to Fundraisers for which the Organiser has enabled this option. Even if a Fundraiser has Recurring Support enabled, Supporters still have the option to make a single (non-recurring) Donation instead, by choosing the “Single Payment” button while making a Donation, unless the Organiser has disabled the “Single Payments” option. In that case, only Recurring Support is possible.
   3. To set up a Recurring Support for a Fundraiser, the supporter needs to select the 'Recurring Payment' button while making a Donation to a Fundraiser that has Recurring Support enabled. Afterwards, they must choose or manually set the amount of the monthly payment. After clicking the “Support” button, the Supporter will be redirected to a PayU S.A. widget where they will need to provide their payment card details.
   4. Should the Supporter decide to make a separate donation to us while setting a Recurring Support to a Fundraiser, such donation will be added to the sum of the recurring monthly payments charged to their card (the donation to us is also recurring).
   5. Recurring payments are processed by a third party - PayU S.A., a licensed payment services provider with its registered office in Poland. Supporter’s card details will be stored by PayU S.A. PayU, as an intermediary in making payments, provides the Token tool (virtual card identifier), which enables assigning a unique identifier to an individual Supporter, with the use of which the Supporter periodically makes payments to the Organiser (and us, should the Supporter decide to make a separate donation to our account). The agreement regarding the processing of recurring payments is concluded between the Supporter and PayU S.A.. Any complaints in this regard should be filed in accordance with pt 14.4 (directly to PayU S.A.).
   6. Recurring Support is available to active Fundraisers only. Should a Fundraiser be blocked or in any way restricted by us, or finished/deleted by the Organiser, providing Recurring Support to it will become unavailable.
   7. In the case of recurring payments failed due to the lack of funds on the card, the payment will be omitted and only attempted when the next payment is scheduled the following month.
   8. The Supporter may stop providing Recurring Support at any time. This is done by logging into your User Account and going to the 'Settings' -> 'Recurring payments' tab, and then selecting the Recurring Support you want to cancel.

8. OFFERS AND AUCTIONS

   1. Any Verified User may make Offers on their Fundraisers by clicking the "add offers/auctions" button in the "offers/auctions" tab of their Fundraiser and completing the Offer adding form. In the form, the Organiser must provide the title and description of the Offer. They should also select the appropriate category in which it is offered, indicate the duration of the Offer, and specify the minimum payment for the Offer. If the Offer is listed as an auction, the Organiser should also provide the duration and starting price. They may also attach photos of the Offer’s subject and tick or fill in additional fields of the form, indicating the ways of delivering the Offer’s subject, the date of its delivery or the data necessary to be completed by the Supporter when making the purchase. If the Organiser intends to sell more than one copy of the same Offer’s subject, and such items are to be offered at the ‘buy now’ option, they may specify the number of items or state that there is an infinite amount of items offered (e.g. when listing Digital Offers) - in that case the itemss may be bought until that number is depleted.
   2. The description of the Offer should be specific, exhaustive and should not mislead the potential buyer. By adding the Offer the Organiser makes a binding pledge to deliver it to the buyer as specified in its description. They also confirm that they have a full legal right to sell the Offer’s subject.
   3. Each User of the Website may purchase an Offer listed at the ‘buy now’ option by selecting iton a Fundraiser and making a Donation of at least the minimum amount specified by the Organiser as payment for the selected Offer. The Supporter will need to provide their name and surname in the Donation form. If the Organiser stipulated this when completing the form for adding an Offer, in order to purchase it, it may also be necessary for the Supporter to provide address or contact details, which will be provided to the Organiser for the purpose of shipping.
   4. The Offer’s subject should be delivered to the buyer in the time and by shipment stated in its description. Should the description not specify terms of delivery, the Offer’s subject should be delivered as agreed between the Organiser and the buyer. The Organiser should contact the buyer in this regard not later than 7 days after the Offer has been purchased.
   5. The Organiser can at any time stop offering the Offer further. However, in that case, they must deliver the Offer’s subject to all the buyers that purchased it before the offer was canceled. By default, Offers listed in the ‘buy now’ option end with the Fundraiser’s termination date, although the Organiser may also delete the Offer at any time. Nevertheless, the Organiser is still obliged to perform their obligations related to the Offers acquired by the time of their deletion. It is not possible to add new Offers after the termination of the Fundraiser. In order to add a new Offer, it is necessary to extend the duration of the Fundraiser.
   6. If the Offer has been listed on an Auction, only Registered Users may submit bids. Bids equal to or higher than 2.500 € may only be submitted by Verified Users. Bids may be submitted until the Auction ends.
   7. Submitted bids can not be revoked through the Website. In the event of an obvious mistake while submitting a bid (e.g. an additional zero in the amount), the bidder may contact us at and we may - at our own discretion - decide to revoke their bid.
   8. After the Auction is over, the highest bidder is sent an email confirming their win in the Auction. The email includes a direct link to make a Donation to the Fundraiser where the Offer was made, with the Donation amount matching the bid. They should make this Donation in 24 hours since the email was sent - if they do not do so, the Organiser may cancel the auction - until they decide to do so, the highest bidder may still pay the Offers price., Alternatively, after the said 24 hours have passed, the Organiser may discard the highest bidder and offer the purchase of the Offer’s subject to the next highest bidder.
   9. We are not a party to an agreement struck by the purchase of the Offer and are not responsible for the Organiser fulfilling their obligations arising from it. Such agreement is struck between the Organiser and the Supporter who made the purchase of the Offer. The Organiser is solely responsible for fulfilling their obligations both to the buyer and any third parties (e.g. tax duties).
   10. If the buyer does not deliver the Offer’s subject, its buyer may contact us at [email protected]. We may contact the Organiser asking them to provide an applicable proof of delivery. If the Organiser does not provide the proof or there are still reasonable doubts about the Offer’s subject delivery, we may send the data of the Organiser (together with the data we collected during the identity verification) to the buyer in order to enable them to pursue their claims outside 4fund.com.
   11. Immovable property, stocks, shares or any other item that can only be effectively sold by fulfilling additional administrative or legal duties can not be an Offer’s subject. It is also forbidden to offer items that would be illegal or restricted to sell or would violate someone else's personal rights, and to use derogatory language in the Offer’s description. Furthermore, it is forbidden to claim or suggest in the Offer’s description that we are responsible for the Organiser fulfilling their obligations or in any way guaranteeing it. We may delete such Offers without prior requesting the Organiser to remove them.
   12. We may block, delete or suspend the User Account of a User that:
   1. As an Organiser, offers items:
   1. that they have no right to sell;
   2. that they do not intend to deliver to the buyer or that they don’t deliver to the buyer after its purchase
   3. that would be illegal to sell or would violate the Regulations in any other way;
   2. As a bidder, continues to submit bids with no intention of buying the Offer’s subject if they win the Auction;
   3. As an Organiser on whose Fundraiser the Founder's Offers are listed, knowingly allows the Founder to offer items mentioned in p 8.12.1 above.
   13. In the event that the Offer raises suspicions as to its subject’s existence or the Organiser’s ownership and/or right to sell it, we may ask the Organiser to provide proof for such facts. Should the Organiser fail to provide applicable proof or it does not resolve our doubts, we may delete the Offer.
   14. In the event that the Fundraiser’s Account balance on a Fundraiser with Offers listed is refunded to the Supporters out of any reason, the refunds are made within the rules stated in pt. 11. The Organiser may provide us with a proof of delivery of the Offer’s subjectto a buyer who has received such a refund, and we will provide the Organiser with the data of the buyer that we possess in order to enable the Organiser to contact the buyer in regard of the payment or to pursue their claims outside 4fund.com
   15. The provisions of points 8.1 - 8.14 shall apply accordingly to the rules for the Founders' Offers, subject to the provisions listed below. Whenever in points 8.1 - 8.14 the Organiser is mentioned as the one making the Offer, the rules shall apply also to the Founder.
   16. Only Verified Users may make Founders’ Offers. In addition, Founders’ Offers may only be made by natural persons who do not make them as a part of their professional or business activity.
   17. Founders’ Offers may be made on a specific Fundraiser if its Organiser enables such an option by selecting the "Enable adding offers/auctions for others" button. This option is available only to the Organisers who are Verified Users.
   18. The Founder adds the Founder's Offer by selecting a specific Fundraiser that they want to support, followed by completing and accepting the Founder's Offer adding form.
   19. The Organiser accepts or rejects the Offers proposed by the Founder before making them available on their Fundraiser. The given Offer submitted by the Founder becomes valid from the moment the Organiser accepts it.
   20. Responsibility for the performance of the obligation resulting from offering the Founder's Offer rests solely with the Founder. The Organiser is not responsible for the transfer of the Offer’s subject offered by the Founder.
   21. The payment for the Founder's Offer is credited directly to the Fundraiser’s Account maintained for the Fundraiser to which it has been linked. It is assumed that between the Founder and the Organiser of the Fundraiser to which the Founder's Offer has been linked, a donation agreement in the amount received in exchange for the Offer is concluded, effective immediately at the time of purchase of the Founder's Offer by the Supporter. No legal relationship is established between the Supporter who purchases the Founder's Offer and the Organiser of the Fundraiser - the Supporter concludes an agreement only with the Founder from whom they purchased the Offer.
   22. The Founder may remove the Founder's Offer they made if the Offer has not yet been purchased. They may also stop offering the items further at any time, however, they are then obliged to deliver the items to all the Supporters who have bought it earlier.
   23. The Organiser may at any time remove or terminate a specific Founder's Offer added to their Fundraiser. In such a case the Founder must still fulfill their obligations to the Supporters who bought the items before the Organiser has done so.
   24. Zrzutka.pl sp. z o.o. acts as an operator of the platform within the meaning of the provisions of the Act of 23 May 2024 amending the Act on the exchange of tax information with other countries and certain other acts (hereinafter: "the Act"), which implements Council Directive (EU) 2021/514 of 22 March 2021 amending Directive 2011/16/EU on administrative cooperation in the field of taxation. Due to the above, we must fulfill the obligations specified in the Act.
   25. In order to fulfill the obligations arising from the Act we may ask the User to provide their tax identification number (TIN number).TIN (Tax Identification Number) is a general term used in the context of tax identification, which refers to the tax identification number in various countries, e.g. in Poland, the TIN is PESEL and NIP, in Italy Codice Fiscale (CF), in France Numéro Fiscal de Référence (NIF), in Ireland Personal Public Service Number (PPS) etc. The numbers recognized as TINs vary from country to country - if you don't know what your TIN number is, you can check it by selecting your country from the list available here.
       
   26. A User who wants to make an Offer may be asked to provide the Operator their TIN number. Providing the TIN number is a necessary condition, without which it will not be possible to make an Offer.
   27. Notwithstanding the above - in order to comply with our statutory obligations - we may ask Users who have previously made Offers to provide their TIN or their address (or both). The user will then receive three messages (the second one after 20 days, the third one after 40 days) informing them that they need to provide additional data.
   28. If the Organiser does not provide the relevant data within 60 days of receiving the first communication, we will block the withdrawal of funds from their Fundraisers for which they also received Donations from the sale of Offers, as long as the balance of a specific Fundraiser is positive and prevent the Organiser from making further Offers - until we receive the requested data. If none of the Organiser's Fundraisers meet the condition referred to in the preceding sentence, then in the case of Fundraisers in which:
         a) The Organiser has added Offers, but has not sold any of them, and the Fundraiser’s balance is positive;
         b) The Organizer has added Offers (regardless of whether they sold the Offers or not) and the current balance of the Fundraiser is 0 euro;
       we will delete the Organiser's existing Offers with no possibility to renew them and will prevent the Organiser from making further Offers - until we receive the requested data.
   29. If the Founder does not provide the relevant data within 60 days of receiving the first communication, we will delete their existing Offers with no possibility to renew them and will prevent the Founder from making further Offers - until we receive the requested data. In addition, the rules described in point 8.28 above apply to any Offers that such a User adds on their own Fundraisers.
   30. In accordance with the procedures set out in points 8.28 and 8.29 above, we may ask Users to confirm the data we have previously established. If the data declared by the User raises doubts, we may request that they are confirmed with an appropriate official document indicated by us.
   31. If the User fails to fulfill the obligations arising from the Act and in result we need to delete the User's existing Offers with no possibility to renew them and prevent the User from making further Offers (until we receive the requested data), the User's Auctions will be terminated with no winner (all the bids submitted so far will be disregarded), and the subject of the Auction remains unsold.

9. LIABILITY

   1. We are not a party to any agreement struck between the Users via the Website and therefore take no responsibility for them performing their obligations.
   2. The verification procedures that we have introduced are aimed at lowering the risk of fraud on the Website as well as eliminating dishonest Users from it, but they do not guarantee that a given Fundraiser will not turn out to be a fraud. Even if we have verified a Fundraiser and have marked it as ‘verified’ or similarly, we are not liable for any loss accrued by the fact of donating to it, unless we would do it in bad faith.
   3. Users are solely responsible for the legality of their actions on the Website, as well as for non-infringement of rights of any third party. We do not share their responsibility and unless we have acquired a notice from a competent authority or a legitimate information from any third party that any content that a User has posted on the Website infringes the law or rights of any third party and did not delete such content immediately after acquiring such information, cannot be held responsible for such infringement. This does not in any way limit our right to delete such content acting on our own accord.
   4. We bear liability for the correctness, legality, availability and sufficient quality of the payment services that we provide, described in detail in Appendix No.1 - Framework Agreement. The funds kept on the Fundraiser’s Accounts are subject to the protection stipulated in the Polish Payment Services Act of August the 19th 2011 (they must be kept separately from our own funds and be placed on a separate bank account or safely invested, and they can never be subject to execution directed against us, even in the case of our insolvency).
   5. We reserve the right to temporary breaks in us providing our services in the case of necessary technical or conservation works. We will notify the Users of such works beforehand.
   6. We are not responsible for the temporary brakes in us providing our services due to force majeure or malicious acts of third parties (e.g. hacker attacks). If such circumstances cause the leak or risk of leak of Users data, we are obliged by law to notify the Users and take measures to minimize or avoid the leak.

10. ACCOUNT SUSPENSION AND DELETION

    1. A Registered or Verified user may terminate their User Account at any time. If there are any funds kept on any of the User’s Fundraiser’s Accounts, in order to terminate the User Account the User must withdraw the funds beforehand. This may result in inability to terminate an account while it is suspended or the Fundraiser’s purpose verification procedures stipulated in pt. 5 are in progress.
    2. We may suspend or delete a User Account in cases stipulated elsewhere in the Regulations, particularly when we have information or suspicion of the User committing fraud, breaking the law in another way or violating the Regulations.
    3. We may suspend the User Account of a User when we have suspicion of them committing fraud, breaking the law in other ways or violating the Regulations, and there have been procedures introduced in order to confirm or disprove such a suspicion. If the User’s Account gets suspended, we may impose restrictions on their ability to withdraw the funds from Fundraiser’s Accounts as well as ability to accept Donations on Fundraisers. Should the suspicion be disproved, we will promptly restore the User’s full access to their User Account. If the suspicions get confirmed, User’s Account will be deleted (apart from us taking any other legal measures). Please note that the automatic withdrawals block after reaching the amount thresholds indicated in point 5.1 does not constitute a User Account suspension and does not mean that we have any particular suspicions concerning your Fundraiser - this is a normal procedure that we apply equally to all the Organisers.
    4. If we delete a User’s Account due to the User breaking the law or violating the roles set in the Regulations, we may take measures to prevent them from creating a new account (blacklisting).
    5. If we delete a User Account and there are still funds left on any of the User’s Fundraisers’ Accounts, we may:
    1. follow any legally issued instructions as to the funds’ disposal given by competent authorities (e.g. law enforcement) - if we receive such instructions, we must always comply and the following points do not apply;
    2. transfer the Fundraisers’ Accounts balances back to the Supporters, acting on the roles stipulated in pt. 11 - if there are any suspicions of fraud or acquiring the Donations in an otherwise unfair way;
    3. execute a withdrawal of all the funds to the Organiser’s Bank Account - if there is no suspicion of fraud and the account deletion arises from other reasons.

11. REFUNDS

    1. The Organiser may decide to refund any single Donation by giving us such an order. The Organiser may also decide to refund all the balance of the Fundraiser back to the Supporters.

    1. In the event of an unauthorized payment transaction, we will immediately - not later than by the end of the working day following the date of when we found out about the occurrence of an unauthorized payment transaction which was charged to the Fundraiser’s Account, or the date of receiving a relevant notification - return the amount of the unauthorized payment transaction to the customer, unless we have reasonable and duly documented grounds to suspect fraud and have informed the competent law enforcement authority about it in writing. We will restore the debited Fundraiser’s Account to the state as if the unauthorized payment transaction had not taken place, crediting it with the value date no later than the date of debiting it with the amount of the unauthorized payment transaction.
    2. If the Payment Order is submitted directly by the customer who is the payer, we are liable to them for non-execution or improper execution of the payment transaction, unless:
    1. the customer fails to make the notification to us referred to in pt. 12.7 - 12.9 or 13.1;
    2. non-performance or improper performance of the Payment Transaction is caused by force majeure or results from legal provisions;
    3. we are able to prove that the account of the payee has been credited with the amount of the payment transaction initiated by the customer no later than by the end of the next working day after receiving the payment order.
    3. If we are liable according to pt. 14.2, we will restore the debited Fundraiser’s Account to the state as if the non-execution or improper execution of the payment transaction had not taken place. If that means crediting the Fundraiser’s Account, the value date of crediting it may not be later than the date of debiting it.
    4. In the case of a non-executed or improperly executed payment transaction, regardless of our liability, at the request of the payer, we shall immediately take steps to trace the payment transaction and notify the payer of our findings free of charge.
    5. Our liability stated in this point does also include any interest or fees that the customer has been charged with due to our non-execution or improper execution of payment order.
