By using or accessing the site, services or a mobile app, whether manually or through automated means, you agree to these MaximusLife terms and conditions (“terms”). These terms apply to you if you are a fundraiser, charity, donor, event organizer, event registrant or any other user of the site and/or services (collectively, “users” or “you”). If you choose to not accept these terms, you cannot use the MaximusLife site or the services.

However, to be eligible to use the services and access the site, you must: (1) be at least 18 (or between the ages of 13 and 17 and using the site and services with parental or legal guardian consent and supervision); (2) be registered with us (to the extent required) and not have been previously restricted, suspended or terminated by us; and (3) not be using another member’s account without her/his permission.

Overview

Our role. The purpose of our site and services is to help individuals achieve their life’s goals through visual interactive quests and challenges. Quests/challenges support entities or organizations by creating buzz and/or helping them raise money for their mission. Our technology platform allows good causes to activate fundraisers and connect/engage with donors. The existence of the site or services is not a solicitation of donations by MaximusLife, and MaximusLife does not engage in any solicitation activities, or consult on the solicitation of contributions from the public, on behalf of any individual, entity, or organization. In order to ensure that MaximusLife does not go out of business and to help further our mission of helping you live your greatest life for the good of all, MaximusLife charges certain fees for donations and event registrations made on or through the site. All of MaximusLife’s fees are explained on our pricing page, which is incorporated by reference into these terms.

If you provide any information that is inaccurate, or MaximusLife has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is inaccurate, MaximusLife may suspend or terminate your use of the services and/or the site and/or decline to permit your continued use of the site and/or the services and future access to the site and/or the services.

User Names. You need a username and password to use certain features of the site and services and you may create certain URLs when you establish a profile, fundraiser, event, or charity page.

You hereby expressly permit MaximusLife to identify you by your user name. You acknowledge and agree that you shall have no ownership or other property interest in your account, URL and/or user name, and you further acknowledge and agree that all rights in and to your user name and account are and shall forever be owned by and inure to the benefit of MaximusLife. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account, and are responsible for all activities (whether by you or by others) that occur under your password or account. You will notify MaximusLife immediately of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security. MaximusLife assumes no liability for any loss or damage arising from any unauthorized use of your password or account by a third party. MaximusLife has the right to reclaim any user names or URLs for any reason.

Privacy. In addition to reviewing these terms, you should also read our Privacy Policy to better comprehend how we collect and use your personal information. Your use of the site and its services constitutes your agreement to our Privacy Policy.

Responsibilities of MaximusLife. By using this site you understand and agree that MaximusLife shall not be responsible for any losses or damages incurred as a result of the fundraising campaigns or events.

Terms for Fundraisers

Any individual, entity or organization that registers as a member and raises funds through the site or the services (“fundraisers”) is subject to the following additional terms of these terms that apply specifically to fundraisers.

By raising funds through the services, you represent and warrant that

(a) you are raising money for a cause or activity that is legal under all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations; and
(b) you will use all donated funds solely for the purpose you have stated on the site, and under no circumstances may you use the funds for any other purpose (please be aware that you cannot designate a Charity and specify or direct how that Charity may use funds raised).
Additionally, if you are raising funds for a non-profit organization (a “Charity”) through the site, you agree that you will comply with all applicable state solicitation laws, and you represent and warrant that such Charity: (i) has and will maintain tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; (ii) is registered with the GuideStar database; and (iii) has authorized you to raise money on its behalf through the site. If you are raising funds for another purpose, as may be permitted under these terms, you represent and warrant that you can meet all user eligibility requirements for the services and have a social security number or an EIN and a U.S. bank account.

Special Note for Charities. MaximusLife offers various levels of access for charities. For more information on levels and benefits of each send a note to charitysupport@maximuslife.com

Receiving Funds. 


As a Charity, receipt of funds is based on the payment processor, as described below. In addition, all Charities will be responsible for taxes based on their net income or gross receipts (if any).

Payments to Charities are setup through Stripe™. Donors will make their pledges/donations using the Strip™ trusted credit card processing service. The donation will be deposited in the Charities’ Stripe™ Account less the Stripe™ Transaction Fee per the Stripe User Agreement. Charities have immediate ownership over their donations and can electronically transfer the funds from their Stripe™ Account to their Charity’s Bank Account per the Stripe User Agreement.



Terms for Donors

Any individual, entity or organization that registers as a member and pledges/donates funds through the site or the services (“donor”) is subject to the following additional terms of these terms that apply specifically to donors.

Donor’s Risk. All donations are at your own risk. When making a pledge, only donate to those people or entities that you feel comfortable donating to or otherwise know and trust. While MaximusLife has done our due diligence on each partner we bring on we cannot warrant that funds will be used for any particular purpose and are not responsible for any misuse of the funds by the beneficiary.

Donor Commitments. By pledging/donating money through the site, you represent and warrant that any pledge/donation you make is legal in your jurisdiction and that you are authorized to use the payment method you have selected. Each donor agrees and acknowledges that: (i) all donations to Charities are made as unrestricted gifts and may not be restricted to any particular purpose; (ii) designated donation and registration amounts and Processing Fees will be charged to the credit or debit card or other payment method you use through Stripe™; (iii) all donations are final and non-refundable.

Tax Deductions. MaximusLife makes no representation as to whether all or any portion of your donations, including, if any, processing fees, are tax deductible. MaximusLife will have no liability for any claim by any federal, state, local or any other tax authority with respect to the characterization on any applicable tax return of any donation by you, any MaximusLife user or any Charity. You should consult your tax advisor as to the amount of your donation that is tax deductible.



Fees

Transaction Fees on Donations. When a donation is made through MaximusLife, a transaction fee is deducted from it. These fees are set forth on our pricing page. Donors also have the option of electing to pay a processing fee in addition to a donation.

Chargebacks and Refunds. If pledges/donations were made through Stripe™, the Charity has sole control over the donations and is responsible for issuing refunds and handling chargebacks. All issues concerning chargebacks and refunds will be addressed by the applicable payment processor and not MaximusLife.

MaximusLife M-Life Points (MLPs). When you login, your MLPs will show on your Profile Page. Your number of MLPs are earned over your life on MaximusLife. You can use your MLPs to redeem MaximusLife Rewards. When you redeem MaximusLife Rewards, your MLPs will go down in number. We reserve the right to change the CIP terms, regulations, or benefits of participation, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice, even though changes may affect the number of MLPs already accumulated. We may also withdraw, limit, modify or cancel the number of MLPs required for reward redemption or change the number or type of reward offered. No one person is allowed more than 100,000 MLPs through initiatives other than donating and fundraising. We will have final decision should there be any disputes over MLPs. We further reserve the right to terminate a donor’s MLPs and/or cancel accrued MLPs if MaximusLife believes, in its sole discretion, that the member is abusing the CIP program.

THE SITE, THE SITE INFORMATION AND THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MAXIMUSLIFE, ITS AFFILIATES AND SUBSIDIARIES, IF ANY, AND ITS THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, SUPPLIERS AND VENDORS HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS OR RELIABILITY, TITLE, NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY, CONDITION, GUARANTEE OR REPRESENTATION, WHETHER ORAL, IN WRITING OR IN ELECTRONIC FORM.

Security of the Site

MaximusLife maintains reasonable safeguards and personnel policies that are designed to guard the site, the services, our systems and our volunteers’, fundraisers’, donors’ and Charities’ information. For example, for the security of your online visit to the site, MaximusLife may make use of firewall barriers, encryption techniques and/or authentication procedures. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. As a result, while MaximusLife strives to protect your information, it cannot ensure or warrant the security of any Content you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. In the event of a breach of the confidentiality or security of your personal information, MaximusLife will notify you as necessary so you can take appropriate protective steps. Unless you indicate otherwise, we may notify you under such circumstances using the email address you provided to us when you registered with the site.



Miscellaneous

Electronic Communications. When you visit the site, use the services or send emails to MaximusLife, you are communicating with us electronically. You consent to receive communications from MaximusLife electronically. MaximusLife may communicate with you by email or by posting notices on the site. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that MaximusLife provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by MaximusLife by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.

Jurisdiction and Governing Law. You agree that these terms, for all purposes, shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws provisions. In addition:

Any claim or dispute (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms where the total amount of the award sought is less than Five Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $5,000.00) may be resolved in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. Such arbitration shall be initiated through an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section and under the rules of such ADR Provider, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The party demanding arbitration will propose an ADR Provider and the other party shall not unreasonably withhold consent to use such ADR Provider. The ADR Provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (1) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (2) all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English; (3) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties; and (4) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the MaximusLife may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction. Please note that the laws of the jurisdiction where you are located may be different from Texas law, including the laws governing what can legally be sold, bought, exported, offered or imported. You shall always comply with all the international and domestic laws, ordinances, regulations and statutes that are applicable to your use of the site or services.

Any other dispute (including whether the claims asserted are arbitrable) shall be referred to and finally determined by binding and confidential arbitration. Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). As modified by the Terms, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively “Rules and Procedures”).

You are thus GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.

You and MaximusLife must abide by the following rules: (i) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR MAXIMUSLIFE MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (ii) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF; (iii) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, MaximusLife will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation; (iv) MaximusLife also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration; (v) the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (vi) the arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for the purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award; (vii) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and (viii) each side pays its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses, and then in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by applicable law.
The arbitral proceedings, and all pleadings and written evidence will be in the English language. Any written evidence originally in a language other than English will be submitted in English translation accompanied by the original or true copy thereof. The English language version will control. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator will not have authority to award damages in excess of the amount, or other than the types, allowed by these terms. Judgment on the award of the arbitrator may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator also shall be authorized to grant any temporary, preliminary or permanent equitable remedy or relief it deems just and equitable and within the scope of the Terms, including, without limitation, an injunction or order for specific performance. The arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review except as permitted by Texas law or United States federal law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or MaximusLife may bring an individual action in small claims court. Further, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall not be subject to this arbitration agreement. Such claims shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in Texas. Additionally, notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before the state or federal courts located in Texas, in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and hereby agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Texas for such purpose. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.

With the exception of (d)(i) and (ii) above (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis), if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, either (d)(i) or (ii) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor MaximusLife shall be entitled to arbitration. If for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or federal court in Texas. By using the site or services in any manner, you agree to the above arbitration provision.
