If you do not agree to any of these terms, please do not use Zakatify Services. Zakatify LLC reserves the right to update and change the TOS and/or the Privacy Policy from time to time without notice or acceptance by you, and you agree to be bound by any such modifications or revisions. Nothing in the TOS and/or Privacy Policy shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits. Definitions The following definitions will be used in these Terms of Service:
Zakatify LLC allows Account Holders to manage charitable donations in conjunction with PayPal Giving Fund ("PPGF"). Once registered with Zakatify Services, each Account Holder has the ability to browse and review Content and initiate automatic or monthly donations to listed charities. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance Zakatify Services, including the release of new Zakatify LLC tools and resources, shall be subject to the TOS. In order to use Zakatify Services, you must obtain access to an Internet-connected device and pay any service fees associated with such access. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the Internet, including computers, smartphones, or other access devices. You also understand and agree that the service may include certain communications from Zakatify LLC, such as service announcements, administrative messages and Zakatify Services newsletters, and that these communications are considered part of Zakatify Services membership. You agree not to access Zakatify Services by any means other than through the interfaces that are provided by Zakatify LLC for use in accessing Zakatify Services. Your donation will be made to PPGF, a 501(c)(3) charity, and is subject to PPGF’s policies and terms of service for donors. Donations are subject to Zakatify's platform fee and to payment processing fees, and PPGF makes grants to benefiting charities net of those fees. The charity you recommend will typically receive the funds within 15-45 days of your original donation. In the unlikely event that PPGF cannot deliver donations to the charity you recommend, it will whenever possible seek a new recommendation from you. To ensure your donation remains Zakat-eligible, you should recommend another charity from Zakatify’s directory. If no recommendation is given, PayPal Giving Fund will reassign the funds to another charity, which has been vetted by PPGF.
