11 Consent to Use Information
If you use our Services to post information about another individual or entity, you must have the authority and consent of such individual or entity for Redistribution to communicate, collect, store, disclose, and use such party’s information.

12 Donations
Redistributors must make all Donations on the Platform. To make the Donation, you must provide your payment method (such as credit card information). The method of payment you use must be true, current, and accurate. You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method. As a Redistributor, you understand and agree that:
- We utilize a third-party payment processor to charge your selected payment method. For more details regarding payment processors, see Section Payment Processor and Payouts.
- The payment processor may require that you make at least a minimum payment to process your Donation.
- Your Donation cannot exceed $10,000 per transaction.
- All Donations are final and non-refundable unless we determine, at our sole discretion, that a refund is necessary due to violations of our Content Standards, Prohibited Conduct, or Prohibited Uses. For further information, please review these Sections. In the event we determine that Fundraiser breached the foregoing policies, we may issue a refund. See Section Refund Policy for more details.
As a Fundraiser, you understand that you may create only one Campaign per week and only one Campaign can be active at a time.
13 Platform Fees and Processing Fees
The Platform does not charge fees to start a Campaign. Redistribution charges transaction fees for the Services (“Platform Fees”). You will also incur certain transaction fees from our payment processor (Stripe), including, but not limited to, credit and debit card processing fees (“Processing Fees”). Both Platform Fees and Processing Fees (together “Transaction Fees”) will be deducted from each Donation. For more details regarding fees, visit the Redistribution FAQ.
14 Taxes
You are responsible for determining any taxes applicable to the Donations you receive and for assessing, collecting, reporting, or remitting the correct tax to the appropriate authority.
15 Payment Processor and Payouts
Redistribution is not a payment processor, financial institution, or bank and relies on a third-party payment processor to manage Donations.
Fundraiser can create a Campaign and start raising money immediately. However, to receive the Donations, you must have:
- a bank account, and
- a Stripe account to connect your bank account for processing and transferring Donations. Stripe’s terms of services govern payment processing.
Fundraisers have thirty (30) days to connect their bank account and set up a Stripe account. If you do not connect your bank account within this period, the Donations will be forfeited and returned to the Redistributor(s).
After receiving the Donation, the funds will be transferred to Fundraiser’s bank account (“Payout”), provided that you comply with the terms and conditions of these Terms and Stripe’s terms of services.
You understand and agree that:
- As a Fundraiser, you are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the information you provide, including bank account details to process Payouts.
- Redistribution does not guarantee that Payouts will be provided within a timeline.
- Redistribution will use commercially reasonable efforts to estimate the time required for the Payout.
- To the extent permitted by applicable law, Redistribution disclaims any responsibility and liability for any delays or issues with accessing Payouts, and any consequences arising from such delay or inability.
- Redistribution may, in its sole discretion without notice, issue refunds to the Redistributor(s) without consulting you.
- To the extent permitted by applicable law, Redistribution is not liable to you or to any third-party for any claims, damages, costs, losses, or other consequences resulting from issuing refunds, including processing, transaction, or overdraft fees.
16 Refund Policy
Donations are final and non-refundable, but refunds may be issued at our sole discretion for violations of Content Standards, Prohibited Conduct, or Prohibited Uses. We take reports of fraudulent activity and misuse of funds seriously. If you suspect a user is not using funds as stated in the Campaign, please submit a detailed report (“Report”) along with a completed claim form to support@redistribution.io, and we will, at our sole discretion, investigate the matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you cannot receive a refund if:
- Your request is more than 10 days after you made the payment.
- You did not make the payment via the Platform.
- You are seeking a refund from your own Campaign.
- You already received a chargeback.
Furthermore, you must:
- Be the authorized user of the payment method (i.e., credit card) you used to accept the money transfer;
- Not cause, contribute to, participate in, or induce any misuse or abuse;
- Complete the claim form we provide.
- Comply with all requests for information to process your claim.
By submitting a claim, you agree to cooperate with any investigation by Redistribution or law enforcement and notify us if you receive communication or funds from the Fundraiser or the beneficiary. Please submit your claim to support@redistribution.io.
17 Account Holds
In response to concerns about Content Standards, Prohibited Conduct, Prohibited Uses, or a material breach of these Terms, Redistribution or Stripe may place a hold (“Hold”) on Fundraiser’s account and Payouts. Redistribution or Stripe may also initiate a reverse transfer from the Fundraiser’s Connected Account or a reverse ACH transfers from the beneficiary’s bank account if funds have been transferred. Additional measures, such as securing reserves, may be taken to protect Redistribution’s interests and those of its users.
For example, we or Stripe may place a Hold and reverse transfers on a Fundraiser’s Account and reverse ACH transfer from the beneficiary’s bank account if we or Stripe believe that:
- The information provided by a Fundraiser is false, fraudulent, or misleading.
- The funds available should be directed to someone other than the Fundraiser.
- Fundraiser has violated these Terms.
- Fundraiser is collaborating with Redistributor to engage in fraudulent activity.
A Hold is necessary to comply with a court order, subpoena, writ, injunction, or other legal requirements under applicable laws and regulations.
If you have questions about a Hold on your Account, please contact us at support@redistribution.io.

33 Governing Law and Jurisdiction
All matters relating to the Platform and these Terms, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction).
Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms or the Platform shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of California, in each case located in the County of San Diego, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms in your state of residence. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
34 Dispute Resolution; Agreement to Arbitrate
All disputes, claims and controversies, whether based on past, present or future events, arising out of or relating to statutory or common law claims, the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity of any provision of these Terms, and the determination of the scope or applicability of your agreement to arbitrate any dispute, claim or controversy originating from these Terms will be determined by binding arbitration in San Diego, California before a single arbitrator.
You agree that any disputes, claims, controversies, or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services, the Platform or these Terms must be filed within one ( 1 ) year after such claim or cause of action arose or otherwise will be forever barred, which means that you will not have a right to assert the claim.
The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will administrate the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator will apply the substantive law of the State of California and of the United States, excluding their conflict or choice of law rules.
Nothing in these Terms will preclude the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
A party must notify the other party of its intent to commence arbitration prior to commencing arbitration. The notice must specify the date on which the arbitration demand is intended to be filed, which must be at least 30 days after the date of the notice. During this time period, the parties will meet for the purpose of resolving the dispute prior to commencing arbitration.
Each party may commence arbitration by providing to the AAA and the other party to the dispute a written demand for arbitration, stating the subject of the dispute and the relief requested.
Subject to the disclaimers and limitations of liability stated in these Terms, the appointed arbitrator may award monetary damages and any other remedies allowed by the laws of the State of California. In making a determination, the arbitrator will not have the authority to modify any term of these Terms. The arbitrator will deliver a reasoned, written decision with respect to the dispute to each party, who will promptly act in accordance with the arbitrator’s decision. Any award (including interim or final remedies) may be confirmed in or enforced by a state or federal court located in San Diego, California. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties and will not be subject to appeal or review.
In accordance with the AAA Rules, the party initiating the arbitration is responsible for paying the applicable filing fee. Each party will advance one-half of the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, the costs of the attendance of the arbitration reporter at the arbitration hearing, and the costs of the arbitration facility. In any arbitration arising out of or relating to these Terms, the arbitrator will award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with those aspects of its claims or defenses on which it prevails, and any opposing awards of costs and legal fees awards will be offset.
The parties will keep confidential the existence of the arbitration, the arbitration proceeding, the hearing and the arbitrator’s decision, except (a) as necessary to prepare for and conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits; (b) in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, or confirmation of an arbitrator’s decision or its enforcement; (c) each party may disclose as necessary to professional advisors that are subject to a strict duty of confidentiality; and (d) as is otherwise required under applicable laws. The parties, witnesses, and arbitrator will treat as confidential and will not disclose to any third person (other than witnesses or experts) any documentary or other evidence produced in any arbitration, except as is otherwise required under applicable laws or if the evidence was obtained from the public domain or was otherwise obtained independently from the arbitration.
In the case of a conflict between the provisions of this Section and the AAA Rules, the provisions of this Section will prevail.
35 Class Waiver
To the extent applicable laws permit, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this class waiver may be resolved only by a court and not by an arbitrator. If this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither party is entitled to arbitration.
36 No Jury Trial
If for any reason a claim or dispute proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, each party knowingly and irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to these Terms or any of the transactions contemplated between the parties.
37 Waiver and Severability
No waiver by Redistribution of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Redistribution to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.
