+ +Projects and organizations have the ability to appoint or accept administrators. These administrators will be able to access the same information available to projects and organizations (including your name, email, contribution amounts, skills, interests, abilities, and biographical information).

Users should make sure that everyone using Code Corps understands these guidelines. Projects will be expected to take timely, appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.

+ +This Code of Conduct is adapted from the Contributor Covenant, version 1.4, available at http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4.
+ +Donations are a monthly subscription where you pay projects per month.
+ +In order to donate, you must create an account, submit your preferred payment method (your credit card details, for example), choose a project, and donate.
+ +You are charged immediately at the time of the donation for the full amount of the subscription. During the following month you will be charged on the same day as when you originally subscribed. For example, if you subscribed on October 14, then you will be charged on the 14th of each month. If the date does not occur every billing cycle (e.g., you subscribed on the 31st, but the next month only has 30 days), then you will be charged on the last day of the month.
+ +You may cancel your donation at any time by contacting us at team@codecorps.org. Once your donation is canceled, you will not be charged again for that subscription in the future.
+ +We do not grant refunds for failure to meet project goals. We do not hold funds on behalf of projects. We do attempt to screen for potentially fraudulent projects, but cannot guarantee the identity of project creators or the accuracy of any claims made by projects.
+ +Donations are a monthly subscription to your project.
+ +You must set donation goals in order to accept donations. A donation goal represents a dollar amount that you are hoping to raise in order to support your operations and a realistic and honest description of how you intend to use any donated funds.
+ +Donors are charged immediately at the time of the donation for the full amount of the subscription. During the following month they will be charged on the same day as when they originally subscribed. For example, if they subscribed on October 14, then they will be charged on the 14th of each month. If the date does not occur every billing cycle (e.g., they subscribed on the 31st, but the next month only has 30 days), then they will be charged on the last day of the month.
+ +We try to transfer your funds on a regular basis, but you may experience occasional delays in accessing your funds. We may also block payments for violations of these Terms or for other regulatory or compliance reasons. In the event payments are delayed or blocked, we will try to communicate the reasons to you in a reasonable amount of time. We may also block some payments to your project if we believe them to be fraudulent in order to protect you from fraud.
+ +Our fee is 5% of processed donations. Payment processing fees may vary.
+ +Donors under the age of 18 require permission to donate to your project. Account registration is strictly prohibited for anyone under the age of 13.
+ +By accepting donations on Code Corps, you also agree to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement. https://stripe.com/us/connect-account/legal
+ +We do not handle tax payments. You are responsible for paying any additional fees or taxes associated with your use of Code Corps.
+ +You agree that you will use Code Corps only to make legitimate donations or to accept donations for yourself or third parties that are legally entitled to such funds. Any false or fraudulent project funding or fund raising is prohibited, and any user who attempts such fraudulent activity will have their Code Corps account terminated.
+ +AS A USER OF CODE CORPS YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT: (1) NEITHER US NOR OUR AFFILIATES WILL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU OR OTHERS FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS MADE USING YOUR PASSWORD OR ACCOUNT; AND (2) THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF YOUR PASSWORD OR ACCOUNT COULD CAUSE YOU TO INCUR LIABILITY TO BOTH US AND OUR USERS.
+ +We will not interfere arbitrarily, but we reserve the right to cancel or not process donations because of certain extenuating circumstances, such as when a third party group is no longer in existence or when we have reasonable cause to suspect that such donations may be fraudulent. We also reserve the right to take steps to verify your identity to process your transaction.
+ +You agree that we are not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of information we obtain from third parties and display on Code Corps.
