St. John United Church of Christ (referred to as us or we) is a registered non-profilt religious institution. We operate the website https://stjohnchurch.net (the Website).
These are the Terms and Conditions which govern each use you make of the donation payment services provided through the Website.
These Terms and Conditions apply separately to each single donation that you make. Except as provided for in section 5, ‘Monthly Donations’, and unless specified by you, they do not form a contract allowing for future or successive transactions to be set up. By confirming on the Website that you wish to make a donation you agree to be bound by these Terms and
Conditions for that donation.
(1) The donation services
We will use your donation at our discretion but within our stated charitable objectives. All payments through the Website are to be made by electronic means. Once you confirm to us through the Website that you wish to proceed with your donation your transaction will be processed through our payment services provider, Stripe. By confirming that you wish to proceed with your donation you authorize Stripe to request funds from your credit, debit, or mobile payment provider.
(2) Unauthorised card use
If you become aware of fraudulent use of your card, or if it is lost or stolen, you must notify your card provider.
(3) Information from you
Before we can process a donation you must provide us with (i) your name, address and email address; and (ii) details of the credit or debit card that you wish to use to fund the donation. We will use this information to process your donation. It is your responsibility to ensure you have provided us with the correct information.
When you submit your payment details, these details will be transferred to our payment provider, Stripe, and your payment data will be collected and processed securely by them. You should make sure that you are aware of Stripe’s terms and conditions, which are different from our own, to ensure that you are comfortable with how they will process your personal data before you make a donation.
We won’t share your personal details with ANY other third party other than is set out in our Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy forms part of these Donation Payment Terms and Conditions and by agreeing to these Terms and Conditions you are also agreeing to the way we use and protect your personal information in line with our Privacy Policy.
(4) Refund policy
If you make an error in your donation please contact us either by email at donations@stjohnchurch.net or by phone at 859-261-2066 or by post at St. John United Church of Christ, 520 Fairfield Avenue, Bellevue KY 41073 within 14 days and a full refund will be made to you.
(5) Monthly donations
These Donation Payment Terms and Conditions will only apply to successive donations made through the Website where you have set up a monthly donation. When you set up a regular donation you will be scheduling a series of donations to be made on the day of the month that you choose until further notice. You agree that these Terms and Conditions will apply to each of the donations in that series.
By confirming that you wish to proceed with a monthly donation you authorize our payment service provider Stripe to request funds from your credit or debit card on the day of each month that you set.
To cancel your regular donation please contact us at donations@stjohnchurch.net or edit your donation profile online.
(6) General
We reserve the right to amend these Donation Payment Terms and Conditions at any time.
Acceptance of any contribution, gift or grant is at the discretion of St. John United Church of Christ. St. John United Church of Christ will not accept any gift unless it can be used or expended consistently with the purpose and mission of St. John United Church of Christ.
No irrevocable gift, whether outright or life-income in character, will be accepted if under any reasonable set of circumstances the gift would jeopardize the donor’s financial security.
St. John United Church of Christ will refrain from providing advice about the tax or other treatment of gifts and will encourage donors to seek guidance from their own professional advisers to assist them in the process of making their donation.
St. John United Church of Christ will accept donations of cash or publicly traded securities. Gifts of in-kind services will be accepted at the discretion of
St. John United Church of Christ.
Certain other gifts, real property, personal property, in-kind gifts, non-liquid securities, and contributions whose sources are not transparent or whose use is restricted in some manner, must be reviewed prior to acceptance due to the special obligations raised or liabilities they may pose for St. John United Church of Christ.
St. John United Church of Christ will provide acknowledgments to donors meeting tax requirements for property received by the charity as a gift. However, except for gifts of cash and publicly traded securities, no value shall be ascribed to any receipt or other form of substantiation of a gift received by St. John United Church of Christ.
St. John United Church of Christ will respect the intent of the donor relating to gifts for restricted purposes and those relating to the desire to remain anonymous. With respect to anonymous gifts, St. John United Church of Christ will restrict information about the donor to only those staff members with a need to know.
