ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS OF USE
These terms of use are entered into by and between you and MatchNice, PBC (“MatchNice,” “we,” or
“us”). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by
reference (collectively, “Terms of Use”), govern your access to and use of MatchNice’s services
(collectively, the “Services”), including any content, functionality, or other services offered on or through
the MatchNice.org website (the “Website”), or a MatchNice banner overlay on the website of a Nonprofit
Partner (as defined below), in either case, whether as a Nonprofit Partner, Donor (as defined below,
Matcher (as defined below), or other registered or unregistered user.

Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Website or use our Services. By using
the Website, our Services (including making a donation through a MatchNice banner overlay on a
Nonprofit Partner’s website), or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Use if/when this
option is made available to you either when accessing the Website or otherwise when using the
Services, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy
Policy
, incorporated herein by reference. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Website or our Services.

This Website and MatchNice’s Services are offered and available to users who are 16 years of age or
older. If you do not meet this requirement, you must not access or use the Website or the Services.

OUR WEBSITE AND SERVICES
MatchNice is a nonprofit fundraising platform that facilitates direct connections between matchers
(individuals, business entities, trusts or foundations providing matching funds, collectively, “Matchers”)
and verified 501(c)(3) organizations in the United States with whom we’ve partnered (“Nonprofit
Partners”). Matchers match funds being donated to our Nonprofit Partners by other individuals, business
entities, trusts or foundations (collectively, “Donors”). A few things to note about our Website and our
Services:

  • MatchNice never holds onto donations. All funds are directly transferred from the Matcher to the specified Nonprofit Partner.

  • Matchers can come from anywhere in the world, while our Nonprofit Partners are currently restricted to verified 501(c)(3) organizations in the United States. All of our Nonprofit Partners must maintain verified 501(c)(3) status to remain eligible for the use of our Services.


Our Website and our Services (including any banner overlay found on one of our Nonprofit Partner’s
websites) are offered only to provide technology to allow our Nonprofit Partners, Matchers and Donors to
connect. MatchNice is not an agent, consultant, professional fundraiser, broker, financial institution,
charity or fiduciary for any Nonprofit Partner, Matcher, Donor or other user for any purpose. MatchNice
does not engage, and does not intend to engage, in any solicitation activities on behalf of any individual,
entity, organization, or charity (including, without limitation, our Nonprofit Partners, Matchers and
Donors). Any donation made through our Website or our Services is subject to the refund policy, if any,
of our Nonprofit Partner. MatchNice is not responsible for and does not provide any refunds for donations
made through our Website or our Services (including any banner overlay found on one of our Nonprofit
Partner’s websites).

MatchNice is also not a payment processor, money services business or other financial institution.
Payments made to a Nonprofit Partner are processed using our third-party payment processor, Stripe
(“Payment Processor”). All Users acknowledge and agree that the use of our Payment Processor is
essential to our Services and that we exchange information with our Payment Processor to facilitate the
Services provided in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are
effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Website thereafter.
