EarthShare functions as an Intermediary; Distributions to Charitable Organizations

The EarthShare Platform is an online venue for charity giving and connecting environmental organizations or other third parties with employers, people, and communities to engage in strategic environmental programs. You acknowledge and agree that by engaging with a third party through the EarthShare Platform (including but not limited to, for purposes of charity giving, volunteering, or investment management of charitable donation), you enter into an agreement directly with the third party, and that EarthShare is not a party to such agreement. We disclaim all liability arising from or related to any such agreements between you and a third party. When EarthShare distributes funds via third-party payment services, it incurs fees for the use of those payment services. EarthShare will deduct the processing fees of those payment services when making distributions to the charitable organizations specified by Platform users if and when these processing fees are not covered by Platform users. In exceptional cases, EarthShare reserves the right to refuse to process distributions to charitable organizations that EarthShare learns have acted unethically or otherwise no longer qualify to remain on EarthShare’s list of approved charitable organizations. In that event, EarthShare would inform the donor of that refusal, and the user would have the choice to withdraw the donation or redirect to another qualifying charitable organization. EarthShare essentially operates like a donor advised fund, and users therefore understand that charitable gifts are irrevocable and unconditional contributions of assets when received and accepted by EarthShare, and that EarthShare retains exclusive legal control over those contributed assets.
