In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, RCR and Donor agree as follows:
-
Services.
RCR agrees to facilitate the relationship between You and certain Nonprofit organizations (individually, a “Nonprofit” and collectively “Nonprofits”) by:
- creating a profile page for You on RCR's website with a personalized URL which shall indicate the total amount donated by You, a code to link back to profile page from Your website, and a window decal to You to show Your participation in RCR;
-
creating a management center for You on RCR's website to view itemized giving history, make payments, and view receipts of consumer participants
(individually, a “Participant” and collectively “Participants”);
-
maintaining the registrations and receipts of Nonprofits and Participants, including verification of Nonprofits' tax-exempt status under 26 U.S.C. §
501(c)(3) and confirmation that Nonprofits will provide year-end donation receipts to You; and
-
providing access to a payment processing service vendor.
-
Compensation.
-
In full and complete consideration for performing the Services:
-
You shall pay a monthly service fee of
Forty-Nine Dollars ($49.00) to RCR,
beginning on the first day of the month following Your registration; and
-
You shall also pay five percent (5%) of Your monthly total sales as shown on Participants' receipts uploaded within two (2) weeks of the date of the receipt to the Nonprofit designated by the Participant, due by the first day of each month for
all sales logged during the previous calendar month. R City Rocks does not accept receipts in which a nonprofit has already benefited, whether by discount or donation.
- All fees shall be paid to RCR's designated payment processing service vendor (which may change from time-to-time). You must maintain a credit card on file with RCR's current designated payment processing vendor. If Your credit card on file cannot be charged or lacks sufficient funds to pay the outstanding balance, the interest outlined under Section 2.3 will accrue until a replacement credit card is provided.
- Monthly fees under Section 2.1.1 or 2.1.2 will be considered late as of the 5th of the month and will be charged interest at the highest legal rate. If such monthly fees remain unpaid as of the last day of the calendar month, Donor's account will be inactivated and this Agreement will be terminated, with all outstanding fees remaining due and accruing interest.
-
Monthly fees under Section 2.1.2 will be held by RCR's designated payment processing service vendor for two (2) weeks to allow You or Nonprofits to dispute any charges. If You wish to dispute any charges during this time period, You must email
disputes@rcityrocks.com.
If you do not contact RCR by the 15th day of the month, it will be assumed that you approve of the donation amounts for the previous month, and the donations will be dispersed to your nonprofit partners.
-
Term and Termination.
This Agreement shall be effective for one (1) year from the date of Registration (the “Term”), unless terminated as outlined below. You may terminate this agreement by notifying RCR at
cancellations@rcityrocks.com.
- This Agreement shall be renewed automatically for an additional one (1) year term, unless terminated by either party at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current Term.
-
This Agreement may be terminated:
- by either party upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice if the other party breaches or is in default of any obligation hereunder and such default has not been cured within such fifteen (15) day period,
- by either party at any time during the Term for any reason and without cause upon thirty (30) days' written notice, or
- by either party immediately upon written notice if such party dissolves, liquidates, files a petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, has a receiver appointed for all or substantially all of its property, or has a petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency law filed against it which is not dismissed within thirty (30) days.
- In the case of Your breach or voluntary termination, no fees paid to RCR or Nonprofits will be refunded. All service fees and donations accrued prior to the effective date of termination shall be due immediately.
