1. General Policy
Contributions made through Breathe™ are generally intended to support the fundraiser selected by the contributor.
Refunds are not guaranteed and may depend on the circumstances of the transaction, the status of the funds, applicable law, and the policies of any third-party payment provider involved.
2. Contributions
Contributors should review fundraiser information carefully before completing a contribution.
A change of mind after a contribution is completed does not automatically create a right to a refund.
In some situations, a refund may be considered if the request is made promptly and the funds have not yet been distributed or otherwise committed.
3. Organizer or Campaign Issues
If a fundraiser is removed, suspended, canceled, or otherwise affected by a platform review, Breathe™ may determine whether refunds are appropriate based on the circumstances.
The availability of a refund may depend on whether funds remain available and whether the transaction can still be reversed.
4. Fraud or Misrepresentation
If Breathe™ determines that a fundraiser involved fraud, intentional misrepresentation, prohibited activity, or another serious violation of platform policies, Breathe™ may take steps that may include suspending the fundraiser, restricting access to funds, or issuing refunds where appropriate and legally permitted.
Refund decisions in these situations may be made on a case-by-case basis.
5. Payment Errors
If a contributor believes they were charged incorrectly, charged more than once, or experienced another payment error, they should contact Breathe™ as soon as reasonably possible.
Breathe™ may work with the applicable payment processor to review the transaction and determine whether a correction or refund is appropriate.
6. Refund Processing
Approved refunds are generally returned to the original payment method whenever possible.
Processing times may vary depending on the payment provider, financial institution, transaction type, and other factors outside Breathe™'s control.
7. Fees
Certain payment processing, service, transaction, or third-party fees may not be refundable once they have been charged or incurred.
Any applicable refund limitations related to fees should be disclosed where reasonably possible.
8. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes
Contributors should contact Breathe™ first when they believe a transaction was made in error or requires review.
If a payment dispute or chargeback is filed with a bank, card issuer, or payment provider, the transaction may become subject to that provider's dispute process and requirements.
9. Exceptions
Nothing in this Refund Policy limits rights that cannot legally be waived under applicable consumer protection or other laws.
Breathe™ may make exceptions to this policy when reasonably necessary to address fraud, errors, legal obligations, safety concerns, or unusual circumstances.
10. Changes to This Refund Policy
Breathe™ may update this Refund Policy as the platform, payment systems, business practices, or applicable laws change.
The updated date at the top of this page should be revised whenever material changes are made.
