Chargebacks and Refunds

  1. Chargebacks and Refunds. Occasionally, a Donor may dispute a credit card charge for a Donation through the Services.
  1. If Donations are refunded to the Donor by Net and Authorize.Net already remitted payment to the Charity, Authorize.Net may deduct the chargebacks or refunds from future payments to the Charity, and if necessary, issue an invoice to the applicable Charity. The applicable Charity expressly agrees that it will be responsible for paying Authorize.Net the full amount of any Donation refund due to a Donor. Authorize.Net may elect to offset a future Donation rather than requesting that the Charity return the refunded Donation.
  2. If such Donations were made through Net, the Charity has control over the Donations and Charity, rather than MagnifyFundUS Inc., and is responsible for issuing refunds and handling chargebacks directly with Donors.
  1. You acknowledge that certain data available or otherwise accessible on or by means of the Services concerning the list of United States-based 501(c)(3) charities to which you may make a Donation is provided by a third-party licensor of MFUS Charity.

You agree that MagnifyFundUS Inc. may share any information provided by you with Net to the extent that Authorize.Net reasonably needs such data to enforce its rights related to your use of any data.
