Creating and Running a Campaign 

When you, as an Administrator, create a Campaign on the Site and ask for Contributions, you understand that you are entering into separate legal agreements with both RallyUp and with Contributors, and the following rules apply (in addition to all the other Terms and Additional Policies). 

a. Service Fees. Administrators may be charged a Service Fee as a portion of the Contributions they receive (the “Service Fees“). The Service Fees are effective on the date that the Service Fees are posted and may be updated from time to time. Service Fees will be charged at the then-current rate based on the Pricing chosen by the Administrator for each specific Campaign. 

b. Refunds. You may request the refund of your Contribution(s) to a Campaign by contacting the Campaign’s Administrator(s). All such refunds must be handled directly with the Campaign Administrator­­­. RallyUp has no obligation to provide any refunds or become involved with any dispute between an Administrator and Contributor. RallyUp reserves the right to terminate User Accounts and remove Campaigns for any abuse of the Contributor Refund Policy. 

As an Administrator, you are entering into a legal agreement with a Contributor when they make a Contribution to your Campaign, which includes the following obligations (in addition to all the other Terms and Additional Policies): 

a. Provide any Items associated with a Campaign in the timeframe that is communicated to Contributors. 

b. Immediately notify Contributors if there are obstacles or delays with the provision of Items and prizes. 

c. Respond promptly and truthfully to all questions posed to you by Contributors. 

d. If you have received the Contributions from your Campaign, issue refunds to Contributors if you cannot deliver Items. 

e. Comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the use of Contributions and delivery of Items and prizes. 

f. Comply with EEA Data Controller Obligations. As an Administrator, you (and RallyUp) will independently fulfill all duties required of data controllers under applicable EEA data protection law (such law shall include, but not be limited to, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (“GDPR”); (iii) the EU e-Privacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC), including subsequent variations, such as the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the respect for private life and the protection of personal data in electronic communications and repealing Directive 2002/58/EC (“ePrivacy Regulation”), if enacted). 

Your data controller duties include: 

  1. Determining and qualifying the necessary legal basis or bases for your collection or processing of personal information;
  2. Managing and reporting security incidents; 
  3. Transfers; 
  4. Entering into contracts only with data processors that provide adequate protections for personal data and including appropriate contractual language; 
  5. Maintaining records of your data processing activities; 
  6. Conducting any required data protection impact assessments; and 
  7. Implementing and maintaining all measures required pursuant to Article 32 of the GDPR. 

g. Respond to EEA Data Subject Requests. You and RallyUp will have an independent obligation to respond to any requests received by either of us from EEA data subjects regarding personal data, including without limitation, those set forth in Chapter III of the GDPR. The party that receives the data request is responsible for responding to the request. Administrator and RallyUp shall reasonably cooperate and assist each other with these requests, to the extent that is legally permissible. 

Please remember that as an Administrator, you are solely responsible for fulfilling the obligations of your Campaign and delivering Items. If you are unable to perform on this, or any of your other legal obligations, you may be subject to legal action by Contributors. 

h. Administrators should not request personally identifiable information via custom fields on the RallyUp Platform. 

Contributing to a Campaign

When a Contributor makes a Contribution to a Campaign, Contributor understands that the following rules and terms apply (in addition to any other Additional Policies as mentioned in the Additional Policies section above). 

a. Voluntary Contributions. All Contributions are made voluntarily and at the sole discretion and risk of the Contributor. 

b. No Guarantee. RallyUp does not guarantee that Contributions will be used as promised, that Administrators will deliver Items, or that the Campaign will achieve its goals. RallyUp also does not endorse, guarantee, make representations, or provide warranties for or about the accuracy, currency, quality, safety, morality or legality of any Campaign, Item, or Contribution, or the truth or accuracy of User Content posted on the Services. 

c. Credit Card Charges. When you Contribute to a Campaign, your card will be charged the amount of the Contribution after you confirm and submit your payment information. You hereby authorize RallyUp and its authorized agents and third party service providers to effect payments you authorize through the Services. You may be asked to make payments through a third party payment service provider such as Stripe (“Merchant Services”). You represent and warrant that any and all financial information you provide is accurate and up to date, and you have authority to authorize any such payment you make through the Services, or through Merchant Services. You understand and agree that your use of any Merchant Services will be governed exclusively by such merchant’s terms and conditions. You understand and agree that RallyUp is not responsible for your nor any third party’s obligations relating to any Merchant Services and RallyUp specifically disclaims any liability relating thereto. You may not use our products/services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.

d. Communications Between Administrators and Contributors. Once you have made a Contribution to a Campaign, the Administrators may need to contact you to obtain additional information such as shipping address, specific preferences for an Item (i.e. color or size of a t-shirt), or may ask for your feedback on the Campaign. In some instances, to receive an Item, you may need to provide the requested information within the requested time frame to receive the Item, otherwise, it will not be fulfilled. Administrators should not ask for information that is not required for their legitimate business purposes and should not request sensitive personal information such a Social Security number or credit card/banking information. Please contact us if you receive a request for information that appears to be excessive. 

e. Taxes are your responsibility. Contributors are solely responsible for determining how to treat their Contributions and receipt of any Items for tax purposes. 

RallyUp’s Role

a. We do not endorse any User Content. While RallyUp supports the creation of Campaigns, we only provide the Site for Users to interact. We do not pre-screen any Campaigns or endorse any User Content on our site. You should not construe the User Content, or any content found on the Services as an endorsement by RallyUp of the views expressed therein, or any representation, opinion, warranty or guarantee of any strategy, recommendation, action, or application made by the author of such content.

b. We may remove User Content in our discretion. If you see User Content that violates these Terms, then let us know and we may remove it, in our sole discretion. Removing content or terminating accounts is not an action we take lightly, and we may take a while to investigate and determine if User Content should be removed. We do not communicate our reasons for removing, or keeping, User Content on the Site. 

c.  We do not guarantee Items or Refunds. Administrators are solely responsible for the delivery of Items and offering refunds that are not covered by our Contributor Refund Policy. 

d. We do not provide tax or legal advice to Users. Users are solely responsible for determining how the tax laws, or any other laws, apply to running a Campaign, Contributing to a Campaign, or utilizing any of the Services. 

e. We do not become involved in legal disputes between Users or third parties. Though we may facilitate discussions between Users who have disputes with each other, RallyUp takes no responsibility and hereby disclaims any liability for any disputes or violations of agreements between any Users, including between Administrators and Contributors or Administrators and any third parties. 

f. You are responsible for your Campaigns, even if you engage our help. RallyUp may offer services to Users, including, without limitation, helping with drafting Campaign content, assisting with the design of Campaigns, and referring vendors and other service providers to Administrators. Such services may be subject to a separate agreement between Administrators and RallyUp. Even if we help with your Campaign, Administrators remain solely responsible for the Campaign and must comply with all obligations herein as the only responsible party for the Campaign. 

Fees and Taxes

a. Service Fees. There are no fees for creating an account on the Site. However, Administrators may be charged a Service Fee as a portion of the Contributions they raise. The Service Fees are effective on the date that the Service Fees are posted and will be announced on the Pricing page. You may not take any actions to bypass payment mechanisms of the Service Fees, or any other requirement fees or payments.

b. Taxes. Taxing authorities may classify Contributions as taxable income to the Administrator and any beneficiary who will receive funds directly from the applicable Campaign. RallyUp may ask for the tax identification number (TIN) of Administrators and any beneficiaries so that we may report taxable income to the relevant taxing authorities. RallyUp may provide Administrators with a tax document if required by the relevant taxing authorities. RallyUp is unable to provide any User or third party with tax advice and suggests that such Users or third parties consult with tax advisors of their choice.

We take intellectual property rights very seriously. We comply with intellectual property laws and industry best practices in order to maintain the integrity of our Site and Services. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) sets out the legal system to report notices of alleged copyright infringement, and RallyUp also maintains policies concerning claims of trademark and patent infringement. We will respond to notices of alleged infringement if they comply with the law and the requirements set forth in our Intellectual Property Policy. We reserve the right to delete or disable User Content alleged to be infringing, and to terminate user accounts for repeat infringers (in our sole discretion). 

a. To submit a claim of copyright infringement, please visit our Intellectual Property Policy and follow the instructions. The Intellectual Property Policy also explains how Administrators can respond when their Campaigns are affected by a notice.

SMS

RallyUp Events 

a. Shortcodes are used in two ways: 1. You may text the advertised keyword to the shortcode number to receive a link to the event page.

You may request to receive an “outbid” notification if you would like to be notified if you are outbid for an auction item. You will receive one text each time you are outbid. Message frequency varies. You will not receive further messages once the auction ends, and your phone number will not be added to any list to receive future text messages.  

b. You can cancel the SMS service at any time. Just text “STOP” to the short code. After you send the SMS message “STOP” to us, we will send you an SMS message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from us. If you want to join again, just sign up as you did the first time, and we will start sending SMS messages to you again.

Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver 

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH RALLYUP AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US. 

YOU AND RALLYUP AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL BE FINALLY DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION UNDER THE RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION GOVERNING CONSUMER DISPUTES.

RallyUp is based in Tucson, Arizona, so for any actions not subject to arbitration, you and RallyUp agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in Tucson, Arizona, United States or the United States District Court for Arizona. The Terms and the relationship between you and RallyUp shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Arizona, United States without regard to its conflict of law provisions. 

We encourage you to contact us if you have an issue, as most issues can be resolved without the involvement of a court or arbitrator. If negotiations do not resolve any disputes relating to your use of the RallyUp Platform or these Terms, you and we agree to submit the dispute to arbitration. The only exceptions to arbitration are (1) for intellectual property claims alleging misuse, Infringement, or misappropriation of intellectual property; (2) for claims falling within the jurisdiction of small claims court; and (3) where you have opted out of arbitration in accordance with these Terms. 

This arbitration must be administered by JAMS under the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. Arbitrations may only take place on an individual basis. No class arbitrations or other grouping of parties is allowed. By agreeing to these terms, you are waiving your right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action or representative proceeding; we are also waiving these rights. If this prohibition of class arbitrations or other grouping of parties is deemed unenforceable, then this entire “Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver” shall be deemed void and severed from the Terms. 

We follow the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness for all arbitrations done under these terms. Among other things, this means that if you initiate an arbitration against us, you will be required to pay filing fees as set by JAMS and all other fees applicable to you. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise. It also means that the arbitration will be held in the county in which you live, or any other location we agree upon. If you do not live in the United States, however, you agree to initiate arbitration in Tucson, Arizona. If any portion of these terms does not follow that standard, that portion is severed from these terms. 

This “Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver” section shall survive any termination of your account, these Terms, or the Services. 

You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim arising out of or related to the Services, whether brought in arbitration or before a court of law, must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

Full Agreement Between You and Us 

These Terms and those agreements referenced herein, are the entire agreement between You and RallyUp with respect to the Services. They supersede all other communications and proposals (whether oral, written, or electronic) between you and RallyUp with respect to the Services and govern our relationship. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. RallyUp’s failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. 

Miscellaneous

The Services are hosted in the United States of America. If you are located outside of the United States of America and you contact us, please be advised that any information you provide to us will be transferred to the United States of America and that by submitting information, you explicitly authorize such transfer. We may modify or discontinue the Services at any time, in our sole discretion. These Terms, and any rights granted hereunder, may not be transferred, or assigned by you without the prior written consent of RallyUp. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. You agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms. No waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and RallyUp’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this statute of limitations shall not apply to residents of New Jersey.
