TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Effective Date: January 1, 2021

WHAT’S NEW? We have incorporated updates related to the new feature on our Platform that allows contribution pages, and also features that allow for pledged future contributions. We have clarified the application of these Terms of Use to Illinois Fraternal Order of Police (as described below), and our refund policy. Please review this document carefully to understand the updates.

Your use of the websites on which these terms reside (collectively, the “Platform”), and the features on this Platform are subject to these Terms of Use, which we may update from time to time. Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using this Platform. The Platform is owned or controlled by Illinois Fraternal Order of Police (“IL FOP” or “we”). We provide a Platform with related services and product that are used to facilitate contributions (“Contributions”) to political committees and campaigns (“Political Committees”) through pages posted on our Platform.

This Platform is intended for and applicable only for resident of the United States, age eighteen (18) or older. If you are from another jurisdiction or under eighteen (18) years of age, you may not use this Platform. By accessing this Platform in any way, including, without limitation, browsing this Platform, using any information available on this Platform, and/or submitting information to IL FOP or any Page Creator or Political Committee, you agree to and are bound by the terms, conditions, policies and notices contained on this page (the “Terms”), including, but not limited to, disclaimers of warranties, damage and remedy exclusions and limitations, and a choice of Illinois law.

From time to time we may update this Platform and these Terms. Your use of this Platform after we post any changes to these Terms constitutes your agreement to those changes. You agree to review these Terms periodically to ensure that you are familiar with the most recent version. IL FOP may, in its sole discretion, and at any time, discontinue this Platform or any part thereof, with or without notice, or may prevent your use of this Platform with or without notice to you. You agree that you do not have any rights in this Platform and that IL FOP will have no liability to you if this Platform is discontinued or your ability to access the Platform or any content you may have posted on the Platform is terminated.

Binding Arbitration

You and IL FOP agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Platform, use of the Platform, this Agreement and/or the Privacy Policy shall be settled by binding arbitration in a location determined by the arbitrator as set forth herein (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you in your hometown area), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

Alternatively, you may assert your claims in small claims court in accordance with the terms of this Agreement if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. The arbitrator shall apply Illinois law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. If you initiate arbitration against IL FOP, you will not be responsible for professional fees for the arbitrator’s services or any other fees. If IL FOP initiates arbitration against you, IL FOP will pay for the arbitrator’s services and any other fees associated with the arbitration. If any part of this arbitration provision (other than that claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis) is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the rules and procedures established, 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, the portion that is deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal is that claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither claimant nor IL FOP shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute. THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF OTHER PERSONS OR PARTIES WHO MAY BE SIMILARLY SITUATED.

BY AGREEING TO THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES AS SET FORTH HEREIN, YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND LIMITING YOUR RIGHT TO APPEAL AND YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHIL FOP TO OTHER AVAILABLE RESOLUTION PROCESSES, SUCH AS A COURT ACTION. DO NOT USE THIS PLATFORM IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE FOREGOING BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISIONS.

Transactions and Product Availability

Through the Platform, you may be able to make Contributions to Political Committees. In certain circumstances, you may also be eligible to receive certain products made available by Page Creators and/or Political Committees.

Authorization of Contribution or Placing Order. By entering all of the information prompted on the Platform (including, without limitation, your credit or debit card number, the expiration date of your credit or debit card, the name on your credit or debit card, your billing address, and your shipping address, the “User Data”) in the process of making a Contribution or placing an Order, selecting a Contribution or payment amount, and clicking “Contribute,” “Give,” “Donate,” “Purchase,” “Order,” or the like, you thereby authorize us to process your Contribution or your Order by prompting our third-party payment processor (“Payment Processor”) to charge the method of payment that you provided. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD OR OTHER PAYMENT METHOD UTILIZED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSACTION. By submitting such information, you grant to IL FOP and/or any reasonably required third parties the right to provide and transmit such information for purposes of facilitating the completion of transactions initiated by you or on your behalf. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any transaction.

Recurring Contributions. In addition to the foregoing steps to make a Contribution, you may make a Contribution on a recurring basis (a “Recurring Contribution”). If you make your Contribution a Recurring Contribution, you authorize us to charge your selected payment method immediately for the amount of the original Contribution and, in each subsequent month, charge your selected payment method for additional periodic Contributions to the Political Committee in the amount of your original Contribution to the same Political Committee within three business days of the date (e.g., the 15th day of the month) of your original contribution. We will continue to charge you for the Recurring Contribution until you cancel the Recurring Contribution according to the instructions in these Terms.

Future contributions or pledges. In addition to the foregoing steps to make a Contribution, you may make a Contribution to be charged at a later date (a “Pledge Contribution”; either a Pledge Contribution or a Recurring Contribution may be referred to as an “Upcoming Contribution”). If you add a Pledge Contribution, you authorize us to charge your selected payment method at the later date designated when you make the Pledge Contribution, for the amount of the original Contribution, unless you cancel the Pledge Contribution according to the instructions in these Terms.

You can cancel your Upcoming Contribution anytime by contacting Support at PAC@ILFOP.ORG. Note that the Upcoming Contribution cancelation request will not be effective until you receive confirmation from IL FOP Support that the Upcoming Contribution has been canceled.

If you do not have a IL FOP account, you can cancel anytime by contacting IL FOP Support at PAC@ILFOP.ORG. Note that the Upcoming Contribution cancelation request will not be effective until you receive confirmation from IL FOP Support that the Upcoming Contribution has been canceled.

You must cancel by 11:59 pm EST of the day that is at least two business days prior to the date of your Upcoming Contribution, to avoid making a contribution for the month. For example, if your Recurring Contribution is made on the 15th of each month, you must cancel by 11:59 pm EST of the 12th day of the month in which you desire to cancel. Contributions are not refundable unless otherwise stated in these Terms.

If your selected payment method fails one month (e.g., due to card expiration or insufficient funds), we will continue to attempt to charge you until the Upcoming Contribution is canceled according to the instructions in these Terms.

Email or SMS One-Click Contributions. After making a Contribution, you may receive a communication from us or a Page Creator or Political Committee that prompts you to make a Contribution. By clicking the “Contribute” link or otherwise following the instructions in the communication, you thereby authorize us to process a Contribution by prompting our Payment Processor to charge the method of payment that you provided in your initial Contribution.

Processing Fees. We reserve the right to charge a processing fee to Political Committees and/or Page Creators to provide the Platform to you and to process transactions. You understand and acknowledge that the amount received by the Political Committee or Page Creator as a result of your contribution may be reduced by the amount of such processing fees.

Party to Contributions or Transactions. In the event you have a dispute with a Page Creator or Political Committee, or suffer any harm arising out of or connected with any Page Creator or Political Committee, you hereby waive all claims and release IL FOP and Illinois Fraternal Order of Police (and their subsidiaries, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, suppliers, joint ventures’, and agents) from any and all liability for claims, demands, damages (actual and consequential), costs and expenses (including litigation costs and attorneys’ fees) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with any Contributions, Products, transactions, or representations made on or through the Platform, any Page Creator, any Political Committee, or with regards to such dispute.

In certain circumstances, you may be eligible to receive certain products in connection with your Contribution (collectively “Products”). All descriptions, images, features, specifications, and Contribution amounts associated with the Products are subject to change at any time without notice. The inclusion of any Products on the Platform does not imply or warrant that these Products will be available. IL FOP reserves the right, with or without prior notice, to do any one or more of the following for any reason: (i) limit the available quantity of or discontinue any Product; (ii) impose conditions on the honoring of any coupon, coupon code, promotional code, or other similar promotion; (iii) bar you from making or completing any or all transactions; and (iv) refuse to provide you with any Product or refuse to provide you with the opportunity to obtain any Product. You agree to pay all charges incurred by you, on your behalf, or by your account through the Platform, at the price in effect when such charges are incurred. You are solely responsible for any taxes applicable to your transaction.

Page Creators and Political Committees, as applicable, are solely responsible for the resolution of disputes for all transactions made on or through the Platform. Illinois Fraternal Order of Police has any control over and shall not be responsible in any way for: (a) the existence, quality, shipping, fulfillment, safety, legality of Products made available on or through the Platform and Contributions made or solicited on the Platform; (b) the truth or accuracy of any Page Creator or Political Committee’s contents or listings; (c) the ability of Page Creators or Political Committees to deliver Products, or deliver on promises made related to the Contributions; or (d) your ability to pay for the transactions.

ANY OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS OR REQUEST OR RECEIVE PRODUCTS DESCRIBED ON THE PLATFORM ARE OFFERED ONLY IN JURISDICTIONS WHERE THEY MAY BE LEGALLY OFFERED AND TO INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES THAT MAY LAWFULLY MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS OR REQUEST OR RECEIVE PRODUCTS ACCORDING TO THE APPLICABLE RULES OF THE JURISDICTION. THE INFORMATION ON THE PLATFORM IS NOT AN OFFER OR SOLICITATION BY ANYONE IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH AN OFFER OR SOLICITATION CANNOT LEGALLY BE MADE, OR ANY PERSON TO WHOM IT IS UNLAWFUL TO MAKE A SOLICITATION.

You understand and agree that you are charged at the time you make your Contribution. You further understand and agree that the transaction for the Contribution is final and complete at the time you are charged. Once a transaction is completed on the Platform, changes cannot be made to the transaction. After you have submitted your Contribution on the Platform, or you have otherwise directed IL FOP to begin processing your Contribution by means designated by IL FOP and communicated to you in IL FOP’s sole discretion, you may not cancel your transaction. IL FOP may restrict transactions placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card and/or transactions that use the same billing and/or shipping address.

Despite IL FOP’s best efforts, occasional transaction amount errors may occur on the Platform. Access to the Platform does not constitute the right to make a Contribution or become eligible for any Products. Illinois Fraternal Order of Police is not responsible for typographical, transaction amount or other errors. IL FOP reserves the right to revise transaction amounts and other errors and to cancel any Contribution or Product request you have placed if there was an error concerning the Contribution amount or availability of any Product you requested when you made your Contribution or purchased a Product, even if you have received a confirmation. If your credit card has already been charged for the transaction and your transaction is cancelled by IL FOP, IL FOP will arrange for a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge. Individual bank policies will dictate when this amount is credited to your account. IL FOP reserves the right to limit quantities of Products requested.

Refund Policy

IL FOP will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate requests for refunds in many situations, but all contributions made on the Platform are final, and Illinois Fraternal Order of Police is not under any obligation to issue a refund unless required by law.

All refunds issued by IL FOP are credited back to the original source of payment. In cases where that is not possible, IL FOP will use commercially reasonable efforts to connect you, as contributor of the Contribution, with the ultimate recipient of the Contribution, to allow you to request a refund directly.

Upcoming Contributions may be canceled as provided herein. Once a contribution has been processed, IL FOP is not obligated to refund the Contribution unless required by law.

If you make a Contribution and receive a Product in connection with such Contribution, the Product may not be returned or exchanged, as the related Contribution is considered final. If the Product is damaged or the incorrect item was shipped, please contact IL FOP and we will be happy to assist in obtaining a remedy.

It is important to note that all refund requests are subject to the availability of the funds and the ultimate, complete discretion of IL FOP. IL FOP can only refund a contribution if it still has the funds in its possession, or if it can recover or access the funds from the recipient of the Contribution. For this reason, it is imperative that refunds be requested immediately. Unless required by law, it is impossible for IL FOP to offer any refunds for a Contribution that was made more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of the refund request.

If you file a dispute with a bank or credit card company regarding a Contribution made on the Platform, the related funds may be “frozen,” and no refunds will be made until the bank or credit card company completes its process and resolves the dispute.
