Root Funding Non-Profit Agreement

This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which Root Funding LLC ("Root Funding" or the "Company") will provide services to you as an individual/organization (the "Non-Profit").

The parties, for good and valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. Description of Services. Root Funding LLC provides non-profit organizations with the tools necessary to mobilize their support base in an effort to launch their own independent fundraising campaigns through the internet (the "Services"). Supporters of a non-profit can create their own independent fundraising pages on the Company's web site (the "Site"), where online donations can be made. The scope of Services provided by the Company are more fully described on the Site and Site Terms of Use as may be revised from time to time by the Company, as set forth in the Terms of Use.

2. Donation Processing and Payment. Online donations via the Company's Site, through credit card and other online means of payment which may be accepted by the Company, will be charged concurrent with the making of such donation. Donations are processed through Stripe (the "Payment Processor"). Upon registration, the Non-Profit is required to create an account with the Payment Processor or use their existing account with the Payment Processor. Donations are sent directly from the donor to the Non Profit’s designated Payment Processor account. Donations to the designated Non-Profit will be net of Service Fee (if applicable) and less all applicable credit card processing, banking and other related fees (the "Charges and Expenses"). This fee and expense structure is subject to change from time to time at the sole discretion of Root Funding.

3. Non-Profit Information. Non-Profit represents and warrants to the Company that all information provided by it to the Company, either though the Site's online registration form or in writing, as well as in subsequent correspondence with the Company, is true, and correct. If Non-Profit indicates in its application information that it is a tax-exempt organization in its jurisdiction then it is representing to Root Funding that it properly has tax-exempt status under the laws of such jurisdiction as currently in effect. In addition, Root Funding may require Non-Profit to provide supplementary information about its organization as a condition of continued use of the Service. By entering into this Agreement Non-Profit hereby authorizes Root Funding to conduct background inquiries as Root Funding deems appropriate to confirm Non-Profit's eligibility to be listed on the Site and to review its continued use of the Service. Non-Profit hereby grants the Site and all donors and fundraisers using the Site the right to use its name, trademarks and logos in connection with fundraising campaigns on or through the Site. Non-Profit shall immediately notify the Company regarding any change in status or in the information provided by such Non-Profit to the Company.

4. Non-Profit Control of Fundraising Activity. The Non-Profit, in its sole discretion, may terminate any campaign that is being conducted on its behalf on the Site. All termination requests must be submitted to the Company in writing. The Company will use its best efforts to promptly remove such campaigns from the Site, and a notification of such removal will be issued to the campaign owner.

5. Fees. Root Funding offers various fee structures (listed below). Root Funding will decide at its sole discression what fee structures will be available at a given time, in a given geographic region as well as to a specific Non-Profit. One or more fee structures might not be available to a given Non-Profit. Furthermore, certain fee structures may only be available to Non-Profits that are new to our platform (not available to existing customers).

(a) 5% Plan. Under the 5% Plan, there is no charge for setting up a Non-Profit profile or fundraising page on the Site. The sole fees to the Company are success based fees as follows. The Company will deduct a 5% fee (the "Service Fee") from all money that is collected on behalf of the Non-Profit through the use of the Company's Site. In addition, the Payment Processor will deduct all Charges and Expenses with respect to funds collected for, or paid to, the Non-Profit.

(b) Membership Plan. The Non-Profit will pay a flat fee of $839.88 ($69.99x12) at the beginning of each membership term plus all credit card processing fees as they are incurred. If the subscription fee is not paid on time, the Non-Profit will be automatically registered under the 5% Plan and may not switch to the Membership, Annual Membership nor Month-to-Month Membership plans without express written approval of the Company. The annual membership payment will be billed to the Non-Profit’s credit card. The initial term of the Membership Plan is one year from the date of registration. The initial term and any subsequent term will renew automatically at the end of the term for subsequent one-year terms, unless the Company or the Non-Profit give notice of non-renewal at least 30 days prior to the end of such term. Once a Membership Plan is terminated, the Non-Profit will automatically switch to the 5% Plan.

(c) Annual Membership Plan. The Non-Profit will pay a flat fee of $479.88 ($39.99x12) at the beginning of each membership term plus all credit card processing fees as they are incurred. If the subscription fee is not paid on time, the Non-Profit will be automatically registered under the 5% Plan and may not switch to the Membership, Annual Membership nor Month-to-Month Membership plans without express written approval of the Company. The annual membership payment will be billed to the Non-Profit’s credit card. The initial term of the Annual Plan is one year from the date of registration. The initial term and any subsequent term will renew automatically at the end of the term for subsequent one-year terms, unless the Company or the Non-Profit give notice of non-renewal at least 30 days prior to the end of such term. Once an Annual Membership Plan is terminated, the Non-Profit will automatically switch to the 5% Plan.

(d) Month-to-Month Membership. The Non-Profit will pay a flat fee of $49.99 per month at the beginning of each membership term plus all credit card processing fees as they are incurred. If any subscription fee is not paid on time, the Non-Profit will be automatically registered under the 5% Plan and may not switch to the Membership, Annual Membership nor Month-to-Month Membership plans without express written approval of the Company. The Month-to-Month membership payment will be billed to the Non-Profit’s credit card. The initial term of the Month-to-Month Plan is one month from the date of registration. The initial term and any subsequent term will renew automatically for subsequent monthly terms, unless the Company or the Non-Profit give notice of non-renewal prior to the end of such term. Once a Month-Month Membership Plan is terminated, the Non-Profit will automatically switch to the 5% Plan.

(e) Free Plan. Root Funding does not charge the Non-Profit for use of the fundraising platform. Under this plan, donors will have an option to add a tip to their donation. In the case where the donor decides to include a tip, the tip is added to the donation amount. The Payment Processor will then deduct the tip amount as an application fee in addition to the Payment Processor's typical credit card processing fee (not a Root Funding fee). Under this plan, Root Funding does not charge a flat fee nor a percentage of funds raised. Under this plan, Root Funding is fully dependent on the generosity of the community. It is understood and accepted that since the Stripe Application fee is defined as a percentage, rounded to two decimal points, the donation is subject to small rounding discrepencies (sometimes in the Non Profit's favor). The donation and tip amounts processed by Stripe are final.

Root Funding retains the right to restrict the use of the Site for any reason and at any time. Non-Profit represents and warrants that the use of its trademarks, trade names and other proprietary material does not and will not infringe upon any intellectual property, or any other rights of any third party.
