5. USER PERSONAL GUARANTEE
Users acknowledges that by using this software they shall be responsible for any and all chargebacks as well as fines, assessments, and fees related to or arising out of such chargebacks, and will pay FBN upon demand.


User further acknowledges that FBN may assess a ‘chargeback fee’ for each chargeback arising from the activities of user, or any other charges as may be established by user from time to time. The liability of user shall not be affected by any settlement, modification, release, waiver, discharge or variation of terms of any obligation of user or any other person or by any failure of FBN to exercise or enforce any of its rights against user. User hereby waives notice of acceptance of guarantee, notice of demand, prosecution of collection, all exemption and homestead laws and all setoffs and counterclaims.


The User waives any right to require FBN to proceed against other persons or entity. This is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. This is a continuing guarantee and shall remain in effect until one hundred-eighty (180) days after receipt by FBN of written notice by user terminating or modifying the same. The termination of the Agreement or this guarantee shall not release user from liability with respect to any obligations incurred prior to the effective date of termination. No termination of this guarantee shall be effected by the dissolution of user, by any change in legal status of user or any change in the relationship between FBN and user. The legal organization (campaign, party, etc.) is liable sfor all chargebacks and associated fees when a chargeback is filed by a donor or refund request filed by a donor.


The Personal Guarantee allows FBN to have a contact that is associated with the campaign, party, etc. This person does take responsibility for any debt incurred if a chargeback is resolved in favor of the donor by the credit card agency.


FBN does not provide refunds under normal circumstances. If a donor has a duplicate transaction, donated the incorrect amount as intended, or intended the funds to go to a different campaign, party, etc, refunds may be issued. If a donor, campaign, party, etc contacts DonationPages on the same day as the transaction occurred, the transaction maybe voided. If a donor, campaign, party, etc contacts DonationPages after the same day window and has funds in their DonationPages account, the funds will be deducted from the future payments to the party, campaign, etc. The refund will be listed under the chargeback protection module in your Donation Page. A chargeback occurs when a donor does not recognize a charge on his or her credit card statement. The donors contact the corresponding credit card company to inform the credit card company he or she did not authorize or recognize a charge. MasterCard, Visa, and Discover usually allow charge backs to occur up to 3 months but can be longer due to the specific type of card. American Express up to 6 months but is dependent on the specific American Express card. However, with risk analysis involved, there is an estimated time period of 1-3 months that charge backs are commonly filed by donors. FBN strongly recommends communicating a donor immediately after the campaign has received the chargeback notification. Donors can terminate a chargeback but it is at his or her digression.


If a chargeback does occur, the campaign is liable to pay all fees associated with the campaign. The campaign, party, etc, not paying any and all fee will be classified as a loan with is illegal for the campaign. In order to have a loan to the campaign not occur, all fees must be remitted to


Fundraising By Net, LLC
1101 Pennsylvania Ave, NW
6th Floor
Washington, DC 20004


Invoices are not provided since this is not considered a product or service purchased. For documentation or reporting purposes a chargeback will be recorded in your reporting module under chargeback protection. If further documentation is necessary- a written letter of request must be faxed or emailed to support@donationpages.com and the charge.
