The Services.
The Cause Heroes Site provides certain promotions on the Site (Campaigns) for a chance to win unique prizes and receive rewards traditionally unavailable to the general public. Participants may enter Campaigns by creating an Account (defined below) and by either using Cause Heroes free alternate methods of entry, or by making a donation. No purchase, payment or other financial contribution is necessary to enter or win a Campaign and Cause Heroes Free Alternate Methods of Entry is always available for all Campaigns. Void where prohibited by law. In addition, if you are registering for or participating in a Campaign, participation is subject to our Official Contests Rules and Regulations and any other rules and regulations applicable to such Campaign (collectively, Rules). If this ToU conflicts with or is inconsistent with any Rules, such Rules will govern and be given precedence. Occasionally where law permits, we may offer different types of Campaign than contests, which will have their own rules and terms.
Cause Heroes reserves the right to add, change, modify, suspend or discontinue any portion of the Service, in its sole discretion, at any time. Your use of the Site and/or the Service, including the availability of new services through the Site, shall be subject to this ToU. In addition, Cause Heroes may impose limits on any portion of the Service or restrict your access to portions of or the entire Site in its sole discretion without notice or liability.
Donations.
In addition to our free methods of entry, each Campaign allows you to support one or more causes (each a Designated Grantee) by making a monetary donation (each a Donation) to MakeWay Foundation, a Canadian tax-exempt public charity registered under the number 868947797RR0001 that is the legal recipient of all net donations made through the Cause Heroes platform. MakeWay has partnered with Cause Heroes to make the act of giving internationally and domestically safe, easy and effective for donors by raising charitable donations from members of the public to fund monetary grants to other organizations, including the Designated Grantees featured on our Campaign pages.
For most Campaigns on the Cause Heroes platform, approximately 10 - 15 business days following MakeWay receives donations, and so long as the Designated Grantee continues to qualify as an eligible recipient of MakeWay grants, MakeWay will make a grant equal to the net proceeds received as part of the Campaign to the Designated Grantee. For certain Campaigns in which Cause Heroes fee is based on a percentage of the Donations net of all cost and expenses, an initial grant is made approximately 10 – 15 business days following the end of the Campaign, and a final grant (the initial grant and final grant are collectively equal to the net proceeds) is made approximately 60-90 days following the end of the Campaign, after reconciliation of all expenses.
The net proceeds to be distributed by MakeWay as grants are generally equal to the total Donations received through a Campaign minus the costs and expenses associated with that Campaign, which include advertising, payment processing, Prize fulfillment (other than Prizes or experiences that are donated), and the costs of making the Campaign a success. See the section about this in each Campaign page for the specific calculation of net proceeds applicable to the Campaign.
Anyone who donates through the Cause Heroes platform is making a donation to MakeWay, and receives chances to win Prizes. However, no Donation is required to enter a Campaign. Because a Donation is not required to enter, and because MakeWay is a Canadian tax-exempt public charity registered under the number 868947797RR0001, all Donations made through the Cause Heroes platform are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. If you have any question regarding your tax obligations, you should consult with your own tax advisor. In the event that you need a duplicate or replacement receipt for tax purposes, you can contact us. Except in the event of fraud and a valid chargeback by a credit card issuer, all Donations are non-refundable.
Refunds, returns, and exchanges.
Your Donation through the Cause Heroes platform supports an important cause and gives you entries to win a unique prize(s). Donations are non-refundable once a Campaign has closed. If your Donation is accompanied by a Campaign perk, please note that delivery time varies based on the item; specifics about shipment will be listed in the product description. Due to the exclusive nature of all Campaign perks, we apologize for not being able to accommodate exchanges. We will only refund donations if we're unable to deliver the perk you were promised.
