We reserve the right to deny access to this Site, or any service provided via this Site, to anyone who violates these Terms of Use or who, in our judgment, interferes with the ability of others to enjoy the Site, or infringes the rights of others.

PRIVACY.
We value our nonprofit clients and we take their privacy seriously. Charity Valet respects the privacy of the personal information that we are privileged to acquire. Our commitment to privacy includes how we obtain, use, protect, and share information.

Charity Valet collects and uses personal information such as names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses when a nonprofit client provides it to us. The personal information collected by Charity Valet is used solely for purposes of processing payments, providing suggested services that match each nonprofit client's profile information, record keeping and similar restricted purposes. We will not sell, trade or share a nonprofit client's personal information with anyone else or with any other organization. Charity Valet keeps a record of each nonprofit client's disbursements. This information is kept on file for IRS purposes and is also used by Charity Valet internally to analyze overall giving patterns for future projections and statistical analysis.

By using this Site, each nonprofit client expressly authorizes Charity Valet to use nonprofit client information for the restricted purposes set forth in these Terms of Use. A Nonprofit client may review, change, or correct personal contact information or make changes to recorded preferences on the Site or by contacting us directly through email or phone as listed under CONTACT US on the Site.

NO ENDORSEMENT.

The information provided on each profile is provided by the nonprofit organization itself or obtained from publicly available data. Charity Valet does not guarantee the accuracy of any such data or make any representations or warranties with regard to any organization profile in our database. An organizational profile, as viewed or printed from this system, is not intended to be a user's complete source of information regarding any organization. Rather, it can serve as a way for a user to initially screen an organization and decide if that organization warrants further examination. Whenever possible, Charity Valet will attempt to provide explanation for any data discrepancies. If prospective clients or donors have further questions about an organization, they may either contact the organization directly or contact Charity Valet.

  • Free entries will be offered to all participants on the same terms and conditions as entries for which payment is made. (For example, if 100 is the maximum number of entries that may be purchased with a single entry form, 100 entries to win must also be made available for free with a single entry form.)
