No other agreements shall govern use of the Services. These Terms supersede any prior or conflicting agreements or policies.

Where the Operators fail to perform our obligations under these Terms, we are not liable where such failure results from any cause beyond our reasonable control. Such situations include but are not limited to: acts of god, global pandemics, or mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation.
Failure to Exercise a Right Not a Waiver. Even if the Operators, or any of our employees, representatives, or other affiliates fail to exercise any right or provision of these Terms, this failure does not waive our right to later enforce any part of these Terms.
Waiver Does Not Imply Future Waiver. No waiver of any breach of any provision of these Terms of Use shall constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions hereof.
Requirements of a Waiver. In order for any waiver of compliance with these Terms to be effective, it must be made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, in that jurisdiction, to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and fully enforceable.

The Operators Rights Assignable. We may assign, transfer or delegate any of our rights and obligations under these Terms without consent.
No agency, partnership, joint venture or employment relationship is created as a result of these Terms and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect.
Cancellation. You may cancel your relationship with the Operators by (1) deleting your Account by contacting the Operators, and (2) ceasing use of the Services. At our discretion, future versions of the App may include self-service cancellation options.
Changing Payment Details. You may update your payment details and donation and/or operating contribution amounts through Account in the App at any time. Any changes will take effect for the next recurring payment.
Termination of Use. The Operators reserve the right to terminate your use of the Service and/or the App with or without cause, with or without notice to you, and without liability to you. To ensure that the Operators provide a high-quality experience for you and for other Users using the Services, you agree that the Operators or their representatives may, in accordance with our Terms, access your account and records on a case-by-case basis to investigate complaints or allegations of abuse, infringement of third party rights, or other unauthorized uses of the Services. The Operators do not intend to disclose the existence or occurrence of such an investigation unless required by law, but the Operators reserve the right to terminate your account or your access to the Services immediately, with or without cause, with or without notice to you, and without liability to you. Causes for termination include but are not limited to if we believe that you have violated any of the Terms of Use, furnished us with false or misleading information, interfered with use of the Services by others, or in response to failed payments.
Account Deactivation. We may deactivate Accounts as an interim step before Account termination, at our discretion. The period of time an Account will remain deactivated is at our discretion, but typically up to 90 days. For instance, when a recurring donation fails to process, we may deactivate your Account. Once an Account is deactivated, the supporter number associated with that account is released into the pool. If the issue is resolved before the deactivation period lapses, your Account may be reactivated, but a new supporter number will need to be selected, and there is no guarantee you will be able to secure your previous number. If the deactivation period lapses, the Account will be permanently deleted, along with all Account data.
Termination, Suspension, and Pending Payments. Where your Account is terminated or suspended the Operators will let you know via electronic notification to the contact information provided to us through your Account. Where a User’s Account is terminated or suspended, all recurring payments (such as subscriptions) shall be terminated or suspended as well.
Content After Termination. Once your Account is terminated, we may deal with Content in any manner consistent with these Terms and our Privacy Policy, such as by deleting it entirely, and you will not be entitled to access any Content. We are not obligated to keep any copies or backup of any Content. Typically, we will manually and completely remove all of your data from our systems, but this is at our sole discretion unless otherwise required by applicable law. This applies whether the account is terminated at your request, or by us.
Terms Surviving Cancellation. There are many provisions within these Terms which by their nature should extend past your cancellation or our termination of Services. All such terms shall survive cancellation or termination. These terms include but are not limited to: (1) ownership provisions, (2) warranty disclaimers, (3) indemnity and (4) limitation of liability.
