4. The Swiftaid service

Swiftaid is an online business acting as an intermediary offering facilitation and administration of the governmental scheme which enables registered charities to reclaim tax on donations made by UK taxpayers to effectively increase the amount of the donation (“Gift Aid”) for the benefit of UK Taxpayer donors (“Donors”) and Registered Charity clients (“Charities”) (together, the “Service”). We claim Gift Aid on donations identified to us on each Charity’s behalf where we have authority to do so from the Donor. It is each Charity’s responsibility to ensure that all donations identified to Swiftaid are eligible for Gift Aid (as Gift Aid will be processed on all donations identified to Swiftaid).

5. Charities

Each Charity must at the time of registration with Swiftaid get an authorised individual(s) to authorise Swiftaid as an agent. If HMRC requests information from Swiftaid to carry out compliance checks, each Charity agrees to timely provide all reasonable assistance as requested by Swiftaid. Each Charity is responsible for ensuring donations meet the charity specific ‘qualifying donation’ requirements and each Charity shall indemnify Swiftaid against any and all fines, penalties or other costs and expenses incurred by Swiftaid in connection with any act or omission of the Charity or any other third party other than in accordance with this Agreement.

6. Warranties

1. Each Charity warrants and represents to Swiftaid:

• that donations identified to us as being eligible for Gift Aid meet the qualifying donation requirements set by HMRC;

• that the Charity does not and will not claim, or allow any third party to claim, any Gift Aid benefit (including GASDS) on any previously-identified donations without first confirming to Swiftaid; and

• that Swiftaid will be notified of any donations that are refunded.

2. To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including without limitation the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, or the warranty of non-infringement. Without limiting the foregoing, Swiftaid, as well as any provider, makes no warranty that:

• the Service will meet your particular requirements;

• the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free;

• the results obtained from the use of the Service will be accurate, complete, reliable or effective; or

• the quality of any content or services obtained by you from the Site or the App, from us, or from any third parties’ websites to which the Site or the App is linked, will meet your expectations or be free from mistakes, errors or defects.

3. The use of the Service or the downloading or other acquisition of any materials or content through the Service or through third parties’ or provider’s websites, is done at your own risk and with your agreement that you will be solely responsible for any loss or damage that results from such activities.

7. Fees

No Fees are charged to Donors. For provision of the Service, Swiftaid charges each Charity a service fee for the Gift Aid processed through the Service (“Fees”). Fees are as set out from time to time on the relevant pages of the Site and the App. Please note that Fees are subject to change by posting new Fees on the Site and/or the App at any time. All Fees are exclusive of any applicable VAT (or sales tax) unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to suspend the Service (or any particular User’s or Charity’s use of the Service) at any time if collection of the Fees is not commercially or practically viable for any reason. The Charity client must pay fees or the service will be suspended.

8. Card Transaction Data

The Charity authorises Visa, American Express and MasterCard to access the Charity’s payment data in order to send the Fidel Limited (the “Tracking Partner”) qualifying transactional data of participating members (the “Cardholders”) of Swiftaid (the “Programme”) at any of its associated locations, to enable Gift Aid declarations to be created on behalf of the Cardholder(s). The Charity shall, to the extent that the Charity receives from the Tracking Partner certain limited or aggregated data relating to transactions (“Charity Reporting”),:

• Use any Charity Reporting for the sole purpose of substantiating any fees, and to demonstrate the Programme’s performance;
• Comply with all applicable laws, including applicable data protection legislation;
• Not do anything that may damage the reputation of Visa, Mastercard and American Express.

For information about Fidel’s privacy practices, please see Fidel’s Privacy Policy. Transaction monitoring will cease immediately upon termination of the contract. Cardholder(s) may opt-out at any time.

9. Transaction Data

The Charity authorises third-party providers to send transaction data to Swiftaid whenever a donation source is added to the Swiftaid service. The charity authorises Swiftaid to store and use this transaction data to create Gift Aid declarations.

10. Refunds
