Donations
All donations made via charitysaver.org are managed and processed by CS Worldwide Support Ltd who operate as a free, non profit service for charities in order to keep donations costs to a minimum. With no expenses to cover, this ensure donations monies are completely safe from time of receipt to time of payment to the nominated charities. All donations references to CharitySaver below, refer to CS Worldwide Support CIC.
Subject to the requirements of applicable local laws, and what we say below in relation to CharitySaver, once your donation is made it will only be refunded to you with the prior written consent of the Charity to whom it has been directed. In the event all funds have been paid out and there are no funds available for refund, CharitySaver reserves the right to invoice or direct debit the Charity for the amount of the refund and the Charity must agree to settle that invoice within 14 days of the date of the invoice.
For CharitySaver, CharitySaver will process your donation via the payment method used at the time of donating. NOTE: no donations will be refunded for any reason, subject to applicable local laws. If we are unable to transfer the funds to the Charity to which you donated, we will return your donation via the payment method from which you made the donation. If we are unable to return your donation via the payment method you used, your donation will be transferred to our charitable grants funds, used to support charities in need.
All donations are recorded for the chosen charity at the point that the donation transaction is confirmed complete, however such donation(s) is not payable to the chosen charity until the card processing company has transferred the funds to CharitySaver
Use of your donation
CharitySaver does not represent or warrant that your donations will be used for any particular purpose and shall not be responsible for any dissatisfaction you may have regarding a Charity’s use of any donation you may make through the Website or its associated services or websites powered by us or for any misuse or non-use of such donations by a Charity. After donations are made, all further dealings are solely between you and the Charity to which you donated. If you want a donation to be used for a specific purpose or for a particular appeal, contact the organisation and make your donation directly to them.
CharitySaver shall have no liability to donors whatsoever for any use or misuse of donations made to a Charity via the CharitySaver website. If you have any doubts as to how the money will be spent you should contact the Charity directly to seek reassurance. It is your sole responsibility, as a user of the Website, to ensure that the Charity stated is one that you wish to support.
CharitySaver fees
CharitySaver does not charge any fees on donations outside of the card merchant account fee stated on the site
Unauthorised donations
When you make a donation, the transaction is final and not disputable unless unauthorised use of your payment card or other payment method is proved. If you become aware of fraudulent use of your card, or if it is lost or stolen, you must notify your card provider in accordance with its reporting rules. Similarly, if you experience any issues of this nature when using another payment method, such as PayPal, you should contact the provider of that payment method for assistance.
CharitySaver will never email or phone you and ask you to provide all of your payment details.
