1. General Disclaimer
Breathe™ provides a platform that allows people, families, communities, organizations, causes, and businesses to create fundraisers and receive financial support from others.
Breathe™ is not the organizer or beneficiary of a fundraiser unless expressly stated otherwise.
2. Not All Contributions Are Charitable Donations
Contributions made through Breathe™ should not automatically be considered charitable donations.
A fundraiser may benefit an individual, family, business, organization, community project, personal cause, or other purpose that does not qualify as a charitable organization under applicable law.
3. Tax Deductibility
Unless Breathe™ or the fundraiser clearly states otherwise, contributors should not assume that a contribution is tax deductible.
Whether a contribution qualifies for a tax deduction may depend on the recipient, the purpose of the fundraiser, applicable law, and the contributor's individual circumstances.
Contributors should consult a qualified tax professional if they need advice about the tax treatment of a contribution.
4. Organizer Responsibility
Fundraiser organizers are responsible for providing truthful, accurate, and reasonably complete information about their fundraiser.
Organizers are also responsible for explaining the intended use of funds and for complying with applicable laws, platform policies, reporting obligations, and tax requirements.
5. Supporter Responsibility
Supporters are responsible for deciding whether to contribute to a fundraiser.
Before contributing, supporters should review the fundraiser story, available updates, organizer information, and any other information they consider important.
Supporters should only contribute amounts they are comfortable giving.
6. No Guarantee of Results
Breathe™ does not guarantee that a fundraiser will reach its goal, achieve a particular outcome, or produce the results described by an organizer.
Circumstances may change after a fundraiser is created, and the final outcome may differ from the organizer's original plans.
7. Use of Funds
Organizers are expected to use funds in a manner consistent with the representations made to supporters, subject to reasonable changes in circumstances.
Breathe™ may review reports of misuse, fraud, or material misrepresentation, but Breathe™ cannot guarantee or continuously monitor how every organizer ultimately uses funds after they are received.
8. Payment Providers
Contributions may be processed by third-party payment providers.
Those providers may apply their own terms, verification requirements, transaction rules, processing times, fees, and privacy practices.
9. Fraud and Misrepresentation
Fraudulent, deceptive, or intentionally misleading fundraising is prohibited on Breathe™.
If Breathe™ becomes aware of potential fraud or serious misrepresentation, the platform may review, restrict, suspend, or remove a fundraiser or account and may take other appropriate action.
10. Legal and Financial Advice
Information provided through Breathe™ is not legal, tax, accounting, investment, or financial advice.
Organizers and supporters should seek advice from qualified professionals when they have questions about their own legal, financial, or tax obligations.
11. Changes to This Disclaimer
Breathe™ may update this Donation Disclaimer as the platform, payment systems, legal requirements, or business practices change.
The updated date at the top of this page should be revised whenever material changes are made.
