Registration of a campaign for a Non-Profit Organisation partner:

If you would like to create a campaign to raise funds for a Non-Profit Organisation, you can do so through our Website once you have elected to accept these Terms and Conditions, however, the information you give us must be accurate, true, complete, and up to date. We reserve the right to cancel or put your Campaign on hold if you do not comply with any of these Terms and Conditions.

A Campaign for a Non-Profit Organisation can be created by a minor acting with the consent and assistance of his/her legal guardian.

Campaign Managers must register using their true identities.

Each campaign will be reviewed based on content provided by this campaign submission form. Each campaign will remain “pending” until everything has been checked thoroughly by the Sport for Lives Team, for a period of 48-72 hours, although at peak times this could be up to 10 days.

Sport for Lives reserves the right to screen the Non-Profit Organisation partners for sound financial management, good governance, and a track record of integrity. Should a Non-Profit Organisation not prove sound in any of the above, Sport for Lives has the right to withdraw their services from the Campaign altogether. It is therefore imperative that all Campaign Managers wait for the approval from the Sport for Lives Screening team before proceeding with any advertising of their Campaign, from ‘word-of-mouth’ to private social media platforms.

We reserve the right to decline campaigns based on the following criteria:

  • Insufficient supporting information in the campaign write up.
  • Monetary targets that are not proportionate to the cause as stated in the campaign write up.
  • Campaigns that are raising funds for investment, speculation, or gambling.
  • Campaigns that offer rewards or entry into a competition/raffle.
  • Campaigns that display inappropriate images or images subject to copyright

Sport for Lives and the campaign manager:

Sport for Lives reserves the right to choose which Campaigns feature on the landing page of the website.

 

The Non-Profit Organisation partner enters a partnership with the Sport for Lives Team and the Campaign Manager and is responsible for:

When a Campaign is completed with successful funding, the Non-Profit Organisation must use the funds for the purpose advertised. Once it has done this, it has satisfied its obligation to its Contributors.

Throughout the process, the Non-Profit Organisation partner owes their Contributors a high standard of effort, honesty, transparency, and a commitment to achieving the advertised goals of that Campaign.

If Non-Profit Organisation partners are unable to satisfy the terms of their agreement, they may be subject to legal action by Sport for Lives.

 

Contributors are responsible for:

Understanding that there could be delays in a Non-Profit Organisation achieving what it has set out to do.

Honouring their pledges before the Campaign closing date.
