We may review certain content before being published and are not obligated to publish any information or content on our Service and can remove it in our sole discretion, with or without notice.

3. Rights and limits

3.1. Your license to Beyondward

As between you and Beyondward, you own the content and information that you submit or post to the Services, and you are only granting Beyondward and our affiliates the following non-exclusive license:

A worldwide, transferable and sublicensable right to use, copy, modify, distribute, publish, and process, information and content that you provide through our Services and the services of others, without any further consent, notice and/or compensation to you or others. These rights are limited in the following ways:

We will not include your content in advertisements for the products and services of third-parties to others without your separate consent (including sponsored content). However, we have the right, without payment to you or others, to serve ads near your content and information.
We will get your consent if we want to give others the right to publish your content beyond the Services. However, if you choose to share your post as "public", we will enable a feature that allows other Members to embed that public post onto third-party services, and we enable search engines to make that public content findable though their services.
While we may edit and make format changes to your content (such as translating it, modifying the size, layout or file type or removing metadata), we will not modify the meaning of your expression.
Because you own your content and information and we only have non-exclusive rights to it, you may choose to make it available to others.
You can end this license for specific content by deleting such content from the Services, or generally by closing your account, except for the reasonable time it takes to remove from backup and other systems.

You and Beyondward agree that we may access, store, process and use any information and personal data that you provide in accordance with the terms of the Privacy Policy and your choices (including settings).

By submitting suggestions or other feedback regarding our Services to Beyondward, you agree that Beyondward can use and share (but does not have to) such feedback for any purpose without compensation to you.

You agree to only provide content or information that does not violate the law nor anyone’s rights (including intellectual property rights). You also agree that your profile information will be truthful. Beyondward may be required by law to remove certain information or content in certain countries.

3.2 Service availability

We may change or discontinue any of our Services. We don’t promise to store or keep showing any information and content that you’ve posted.

You agree that we have no obligation to store, maintain or provide you a copy of any content or information that you or others provide, except to the extent required by applicable law and as noted in our Privacy Policy. You may access and download a copy of the data that we have about your account and activity in your account settings at any time.

3.3 Other content

By using the Services, you may encounter content or information that might be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, misleading, illegal, offensive or otherwise harmful. Beyondward generally does not review content provided by our Members or others. You agree that we are not responsible for others’ (including other Members’) content or information. We cannot always prevent this misuse of our Services, and you agree that we are not responsible for any such misuse.

3.4 Limits

Beyondward reserves the right to limit your use of the Services. Beyondward reserves the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate your account if Beyondward believes that you may be in breach of this Contract or law or are misusing the Services (e.g., violating any of the "What to do" and "What not to do").

3.5 Intellectual property rights

Beyondward reserves all of its intellectual property rights in the Services. Using the Services does not give you any ownership in our Services or the content or information made available through our Services. Trademarks and logos used in connection with the Services are the trademarks of their respective owners.

3.6 Complaints regarding content

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. We require that information posted by Members be accurate and not in violation of the intellectual property rights or other rights of third-parties. We provide a policy and process for complaints concerning content posted by our Members and let Members report any content that should be reviewed.

3.7 Automated processing

We will use the information and data that you provide and that we have about Members to make recommendations for content and features that may be useful to you. For example, we use data and information about what you follow to provide more relevant feeds or your account type or location to provide a more relevant experience. Keeping your profile accurate and up-to-date helps us to make these recommendations more accurate and relevant.

4. Donations

Our Services allow "Donations" to "Verified Receivers" through different channels. All Verified Receivers are referred to as a "Receiver". You may donate both as a Visitor and Member. We allow you to choose if your Donation should be visible, and if so, if the amount donated should be visible and if the Donation should be anonymous. Donors contact information will never be shared with Receivers without active consent from the donor.

Although Beyondward is verifying all Receivers and working with authorities, regulators and partners to ensure quality, avoid fraud and other illegal activity, all Donations are at the risk of the donor and it's the donor's own responsibility to be informed of make sure of the Receiver's purpose and use of the received Donation. Beyondward cannot ensure that the Donation will be used by the Receiver the way the donor intended or expected. Beyondward does not bare any responsibility for the Receiver's use of, or consequenses thereof, Donations made through the Services.

Donations can be made directly to a specific Receiver by donating directly to the Receiver or to an initiative where a specific Receiver has been chosen as the Receiver for that initiative.
Donations can also be made to initiatives with a "Prize Pool", to later be distributed to one or multiple Receivers chosen by the creator of the initiative. The creator of an initiative with a Prize Pool has the full right to decide how the Donation will be distributed among the Receiver(s) that the creator selects.
Donations can further be made to missions that will distribute the Donation among the connected Receivers for that mission. Beyondward has the full right to decide how the donation will be distributed among the Receivers if donated through a mission.

Donors are not able to condition how their Donations are used by the Receiver. Although the donor has the opportunity to direct the Donation for a particular purpose or initiative, this should be seen as a strong recommendation and non-binding contract to the Receiver and Beyondward can not be held responsible if the Receiver is forced to use the Donation in ways that the donor did not intended or expected. In the event of a donation intended for a Receiver where the Receiver is suspended, or for any other reason no longer a Verified Receiver, at the time of the Transfer or Payout of your Donation, we reserve the right to allocate your Donation to a Receiver of our choice.

As a donor you agree to that (1) you have the right to complete the donation with the payment method selected; (2) donations are final and non-refundable; (3) Donations are in the form of a donation (gift), and that the Donation may or may not be deductible depending on the jurisdiction where you live and the Receiver of the Donation; (4) Donations are associated with a "Platform Fee" for the Receiver including transaction fees to process the payment and processing payouts etc.; and (5) Donations may be subject to additional transaction fees for you as a donor depending on the payment method used for each Donation and your own agreement with your bank or your card provider.

4.1 Recurring Donations

Our Services provide the option to donate recurringly when donating. We refer to such Donations as "Recurring Donations" or "Subscriptions". All Subscriptions have a "Schedule" that define how often the Donation will be renewed, e.g. weekly or monthly, a "Payment Method" that define the Payment Method to use for renewals, and "Renewal Data" that defines data such as the amount, currency and to what destination(s) new Donations will go to. When you choose to donate recurringly you agree to that we are allowed to create a Subscription with the Schedule, Payment Method and Renewal Data you choose, to be renewed making future Donations according to those choices.

If a Subscription for some reason fail to renew using the Payment Method provided, we will do additional attempts to renew the Subscription, and we may notify you to request you to update the Payment Method for renewals. If additional attempts will fail, we will eventually cancel the Subscription. We further reserve the right to cancel Subscriptions, or remove Renewal Data from Subscriptions, if the Renewal Data include a Receiver that no longer is a Verified Receiver, if we are unable to renew your Subscription, or for any other reason.

You may review, update, pause, resume and cancel any of your Subscriptions at any time in your account settings.

4.2 Donation Gift Cards

Our Services allow users buying "Donation Gift Cards" that can be used for payment when making a Donation on our Services. All Donation Gift Cards have a "Due Date" when the Donation Gift Card expires and one or many "Expiration Destinations" that decide how the remaining value of the Donation Gift Card will be distributed if the Donation Gift Card should have any remaining value after the Due Date. Donations Gift Cards are valid for Donations through our Services until the Due Date. Each Donation Gift Card may have one or many "Valid Donation Destinations", that decide how the Donation Gift Card can be used, or be valid for any Donation through our Services.

When buying a Donation Gift Card you agree to that (1) you have the right to complete the payment with the payment method selected; (2) payments are final and non-refundable; (3) payments may be subject to additional transaction fees for you as a payer depending on the payment method used for respective payment and your own agreement with your bank or your card provider; (4) that you are aware of any attributes associated with the Donation Gift Card you buy, such as Due Date, Expiration Destinations and Valid Donation Destinations; (5) that you are responsible for keeping the code associated with the Donation Gift Card safe and only distribute the Donation Gift Card to any person or identity that you intend to share the Donation Gift Card with; (6) we are not responsible if the Donation Gift Card is used by any person or identity that you did not intend to share the Donation Gift Card with; and (7) Donations made with the Donation Gift Card are final and non-refundable as stated in the section above regarding Donations.

5. Initiatives

Our Services allow Members to create "Initiatives". An Initiative allows the Member who created the Initiative to activate the "Donations App" allowing users to make Donations to the Initiative.

All Members can create an Initiative, however Beyondward reserves the right to limit the right to create an Initiative for certain Members for any reason. When creating an Initiative we will validate the Initiative before being published. Depending on the information provided and settings made for the Initiative we may ask you to provide additional information to us, or change such settings, at any time to be able to accept and publish the Initiative or keep the Initiative published.

5.1 Receiver(s) and donations

Beyondward is a donation platform with focus on building the future. You agree to that the purpose of your Initiative is related to, and not in conflict with, any of our missions.

Your Initiative allows you to select which Receiver(s) will receive the Donations made to the Initiative. You agree to that the purpose and description of the Initiative is truthfully and not misleading about the intended use of the Donations to the Initiative, and that the Initiative's purpose is aligned with the Receiver(s) you select and the purpose of our platform.

We allow you to select Receiver(s) in the following ways:

Select that Donations will go to a single "Receiver". If you select a single Receiver you agree to that the "Transfer" of the Donations to that Receiver's "Receiver Account" on Beyondward will be made at the time of each Donation, according to each Receiver's Receiver Agreement with Beyondward; or
Select that Donations will go to a "Prize Pool" as part of a "Competition", If you select Prize Pool you agree to that (1) all Donations will be reserved when each Donation is made; (2) you are responsible for selecting one or many Receiver(s) for your Initiative's Prize Pool, and Transfer the reserved Donations to the selected Receiver(s) at the end of the Competition; (3) Beyondward reserves the right to refund Donations made, or Transfer all Donations made to the Initiative to Receiver(s) of Beyondward's choice, if you fail to select Receiver(s) and Transfer Donations, after several reminders to do so from Beyondward; (4) Transfers are made according to each Receiver's Receiver Agreement with Beyondward.
