Bonfire Marketplace provides a platform which allows Charitable Organizations, creators, artists, non-profits, businesses, or individuals who agree to these Terms of Use and any other applicable policies or regulations to design custom apparel and merchandise (?Organizers?). Organizers use our platform to sell to their supporters worldwide (via an ?Individual Campaign?), to fundraise for a nonprofit (via a ?Giving Campaign?) (collectively ?Campaigns?), or to design and purchase apparel or merchandise directly from Bonfire (?Custom Orders?). This platform is also used by customers and supporters who choose to purchase apparel and merchandise and/or make donations from Campaigns (?Buyers?). This also applies to anyone accessing the platform at any time for any reason (?Users?). Organizers, Buyers and Users will collectively be referred to as ?you?.

17. Creating a Campaign

After Account Creation, you will have the ability to bring your vision to life by creating your Campaign. When creating a Campaign, you will be provided with a ?Base Cost? from us for each product. With this information, you will set a Sale Price for each item. After your Campaign has closed a Batch successfully, you will earn the difference between the Base Cost and your Sale Price. For more information on how to get started, please check out this helpful article from our Help Center.

18. Payouts

To receive payment for your Campaign, you will be asked to provide a PayPal account email address. If you are requesting the Payout to be sent to a business and do not have the ability to send the funds to their PayPal account, you can contact [email protected] or your Bonfire representative to learn about alternative Payout options. Bonfire may send check or ACH payouts in certain circumstances. We reserve the sole right to determine eligibility of a user to use alternative payout methods. Fees or minimums may apply.

Campaigns benefitting a Charitable Organization may require payouts to be made using Change. For more information about Giving Campaigns or if you are or want to send funds to a Charitable Organization, please review Section 21 (Campaigns Benefitting a Charitable Organization).

You agree that you will verify the information you have provided to Bonfire for payments to ensure that payments from Bonfire are able to reach you or your intended Beneficiary. Bonfire is not responsible for misdirected payments based on inaccurate information provided by you.

We may require that you provide a Form W-9 to us prior to releasing funds. You acknowledge and consent that we may, at any time, for any reason, place a hold on a Campaign account, restricting payouts to an Organizer.

If you have questions about payout methods or our current payout policies, please visit this help center article. If you have questions about a hold that we have placed on your payout, please contact us at [email protected].

Taxes

You are responsible for any taxes you owe based on the payments (?Payouts?) you receive from us.

You are solely and fully responsible for payment of any income taxes applicable to the amount you earn through using our service. You are responsible for reporting any taxes. We collect tax identification information and report this to tax authorities as legally required.

We will provide a copy of IRS form 1099 no later than January 31st each calendar year for beneficiaries who received more than $600 in total payouts during the previous calendar year as paid by check, ACH, or wire transfer. Beneficiaries who are registered non-profits or corporations do not receive 1099s.

Tax reporting documentation for payouts made through third-party payment processors, such as PayPal, will be provided by the third party payment processor in accordance with all tax laws and regulations.

For more information about 1099s from the IRS, please visit: https://www.irs.gov/payments/general-faqs-on-new-payment-card-reporting-requirements

Unclaimed Personal Funds

We make every effort to transmit funds due to each Organizer. In cases where the Organizer fails to submit sufficient account information (e.g. PayPal account details, tax information if applicable, current mailing address, correct email address, etc.), we will make a good faith effort to contact the Organizer and/or Beneficiary in order to render payment in accordance with Bonfire?s processes.

Escheatment refers to the process by which unclaimed funds held by us reverts to the state or jurisdiction where the property is held when the owner cannot be located or the property remains unclaimed for a specified period of time. We are legally obligated to report and transfer unclaimed funds to the state after a period of inactivity or if we are unable to locate the rightful owner. Funds where the owner cannot be located will be escheated to the State of Virginia following Virginia?s escheatment laws.

We make no guarantee that we will be able to locate the rightful owner of any unclaimed property and we are not responsible for any losses that may occur as a result of escheatment.

Unclaimed Funds for Charitable Organizations

We make every effort to transmit funds due to Charitable Organizations. Most funds are able to be sent using Change (see Section 21 (Campaigns Benefitting a Charitable Organization).

If funds are unable to be processed using Change, Bonfire may, at our sole discretion, regrant the funds to an alternate nonprofit organization.

  • - Contributions made by Bonfire or Bonfire Sellers to OCF as a result of a Charitable Sales Promotion may result in a tax-deductible charitable contribution to the Campaign creator. Please see Section 21 (Campaigns Benefitting a Charitable Organization) for more detailed information.


21. Campaigns Benefitting a Charitable Organization

General

Bonfire uses GetChange Corp ("Change") as the third-party service provider for donation processing for all donations made to Charitable Organizations via the Bonfire platform(s). Bonfire will in some instances allow its users to make donations to Our Change Foundation (?OCF?) and suggest that OCF make contributions to certain Charitable Organizations as further described below. Bonfire is committed to complying with all applicable laws related to such function. Bonfire encourages users to support certain Charitable Organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as further described herein. Donors may make donations to certain charities in connection with the donor?s use of Bonfire?s Site(s).

Charitable Sales Promotions

Bonfire?s platform(s) allow its customers to purchase products from Bonfire and then Bonfire customers may sell those products on Bonfire?s platform by choosing the price of the product. The ?Base Cost? is the amount paid by the Bonfire customers for each product. During the charitable sales promotions and for each product sold, Bonfire and/or Bonfire?s customers, depending on the particular charitable sales promotion, shall contribute to OCF the amount above the ?Base Cost? of the specified product. At a minimum, $0.01 of each product sale shall be donated to OCF. Bonfire anticipates that the average donation per product sale will be approximately $7.89, but this is no way a guarantee of the average donation per product sale. Bonfire offers for sale many different product types (hats, t-shirts, hoodies, etc.), which have different Base Costs. The Base Cost for each product varies based on the following factors:

  1. The product that is chosen. Bonfire offers for sale many different product types, which have different Base Costs.

  2. The type of design that is put on the product. For example, the Base Cost for a product changes depending on the number of colors for a design, if the design is both front and back (on a t-shirt, for example), and type of print (screen printing, embroidery, etc.).

  3. The amount of a product that is sold. When Bonfire receives bulk discount pricing for large orders of a single product, Bonfire lowers the Base Cost.

  4. The selling price. Bonfire and/or Bonfire's customers can set the selling price of the product that is offered for sale. Bonfire customers can choose to have a high margin resulting in Bonfire and/or Bonfire?s Customers making a greater contribution to the Charitable Organization or a smaller margin resulting in Bonfire and/or Bonfire?s Customer making a smaller contribution to the Charitable Organization.

The following is an illustration of how the above factors impact Bonfire?s and/or Bonfire?s Customers? contributions to Charitable Organizations as a result of a product?s Base Cost: if the Base Cost of a t-shirt is $10, Bonfire?s customer can list the product for sale at $15, which results in Bonfire Customers making a contribution the Charitable Organization in the amount of $5 per t-shirt sold during the charitable sales promotion (the list amount ($15) minus the Base Cost ($10)). If Bonfire?s customer lists the Sale Price of the product at $11, there is only a $1 donation to the Charitable Organization per t-shirt. Bonfire provides on the Bonfire platform(s) a calculator tool which the public may access in order to receive an estimation of the Base Cost calculation on products sold during the charitable sales promotion (https://www.bonfire.com/tools/t-shirt-pricing-calculator/#cost). In addition, Bonfire provides on the Bonfire platform(s) a calculator tool which provides an estimation of the contribution amounts (https://www.bonfire.com/tools/t-shirt-pricing-calculator/#price).

Volunteer Fundraising Promotions

In addition to the Charitable Sales Promotions described above, the Bonfire platform(s) allow Bonfire and/or users to act as volunteer fundraisers on behalf of OCF. Purchasers of Bonfire?s products sold online at www.bonfire.com may be asked at the point of sale if they would like to make a contribution to OCF, in support of one or more designated Recipient Charities. The disbursement of all such customer donations to designated Recipient Charities shall be subject to the grantmaking process as outlined herein.

Fundraising and the Relationship with Our Change Foundation and Change

All donations made as a result of a Charitable Sales Promotion or Volunteer Fundraising Promotion via Bonfire's platform are made to OCF 501(c)(3) (EIN: 86-3353394), a nonprofit organization and donor-advised fund that makes grants to the nonprofits suggested by Donor-Advisors, which may include Bonfire, Bonfire purchasers, and or donors.

All donations sent by Bonfire to OCF shall be subject to OCF?s exclusive control and discretion, and grants made by OCF to Recipient Charities from donations generated from the program shall be subject to OCF?s Grantmaking Policy, which is accessible at https://link.getchange.io/tos-nonprofit.

OCF is committed to providing a donor-advised fund program that complies with all applicable laws related to donor-advised funds and sponsoring organizations. OCF encourages Donor-Advisors to support certain Charitable Organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as further described herein.

Donor-advisors have the right to make recommendations to Bonfire and OCF concerning grant disbursements. Consistent with federal tax law requirements, OCF may accept or reject the recommendations of the Donor-Advisors in its sole and absolute discretion and maintains ultimate discretion and control with respect to any such distributions.

From time to time and depending on the particular charitable sales promotion or volunteer fundraising promotion, OCF often considers granting or contributing funds to other eligible organizations suggested by Donor-Advisors, which may be Bonfire, Bonfire users, OCF donors, or commercial co-venturers. As part of OCF?s commitment to honoring these suggestions, OCF makes every effort to direct contributions or grants to those Qualified Charities recommended and suggested by the Donor-Advisors.

Contributions made by Bonfire to OCF as a result of a Charitable Sales Promotion does not result in any tax-deductible charitable contribution to any purchasers of products. For contributions made by donors as a result of a Volunteer Fundraising Promotion, the tax-deductible status of a donation made does not change if funds are reassigned because OCF is the Charitable Organization of record for the donor?s original donation. Donors should disregard any additional tax receipt received from a benefiting charity as a result of OCF?s grant in such cases.

See OCF?s full Regranting Policy at https://link.getchange.io/tos-nonprofit.

Grants to Qualified Charities

OCF will make grants only to ?Qualified Charities? which include tax exempt entities that are described in Internal Revenue Code Section 170(b)(1)(A) other than supporting organizations described in Internal Revenue Code Section 509(a)(3). This includes churches, schools, hospitals, government entities and most 501(c)(3) public charities, but it does not include 501(c)(3) private non-operating foundations or 509(a)(3) public supporting organizations.

Such grants are subject to limitations and prohibitions fully described within OCF?s Regranting Policy, at https://link.getchange.io/tos-nonprofit.

Refunds

All donations are gifts made voluntarily to OCF with no conditions. Donors receive a tax receipt from OCF at the time of the donation. Donors who request refunds may not be eligible for tax deductions on their refunded donations.

OCF does not provide refunds of donations that OCF has already granted to a charity. Donors who wish to request a refund for a donation that has already been granted should contact the benefiting charity directly.

Refunds may be granted at OCF?s discretion. Refunds are granted only in exceptional circumstances, and only when the funds have not been granted to a charity. Some circumstances in which refunds might be granted include the donation was made in error, was made in an incorrect amount, or the donation was not authorized by the donor.

See OCF?s Regranting Policy, at https://link.getchange.io/tos-nonprofit.

Timing

Donations generated by activities which qualify as Solicitation Type A or B under California law (including funds raised via Volunteer Fundraising Promotions described herein) will be sent to the recipient charity within a maximum of twenty (20) days after the end of the month in which the donation was made, unless the recipient Charitable Organization is not eligible to be sent the funds. For example, if a customer makes a purchase via the Bonfire platform(s) and the customer decides to make a contribution to OCF at the point of sale, then the customer may choose an organization of their choice and suggest that OCF grant the contribution to the suggested organization. The contribution will be made to OCF, and the donor will receive a receipt from OCF as the recipient charity, and OCF in turn will disburse the funds to the organization suggested by the customer if it is a qualified charity and it has an account with Change.

Donations generated by activities which qualify as Solicitation Type C or D under California law (including funds raised via the Charitable Sales Promotions described herein, co-venturing or cause marketing campaigns) will be sent to the recipient Charitable Organization on a quarterly basis or more frequently, unless the recipient Charitable Organization is not eligible to be sent the funds. ?Quarterly basis? means sending donated funds no later than twenty (20) days after the end of a 90-day period. When such donated funds are subject to minimum threshold amounts before they are sent, such minimum threshold amounts shall not exceed ten dollars ($10.00). Once the minimum amount is reached, OCF will send the donated funds to the recipient Charitable Organization on a quarterly basis or more frequently, unless the recipient Charitable Organization is not eligible to be sent the funds. If the minimum threshold amount is not reached after four (4) consecutive quarters, the donated funds will be sent to a recipient Charitable Organization no later than 30 days after the fourth quarter ends, unless the recipient Charitable Organization is not eligible to be sent the funds. As another example in the context of a charitable sales promotion, Bonfire may represent that for each purchase of a hoodie sweatshirt, it will contribute $1 to an organization via OCF. The purchaser of the Hoodie may choose an organization of their choice and suggest that OCF grant Bonfire?s customer?s contribution to the suggested organization. If OCF determines that the organization is a qualified charity and has an account with Change, OCF will disburse funds to the suggested qualified charity, and the organization will receive the funds within a quarterly basis.

Tax Receipts; Qualified Charities

Change, as agent of OCF, will issue charitable contribution receipts to donor Bonfire customers reflecting OCF?s EIN number as the recipient charity. If OCF determines that the organization is a qualified charity and has an account with Change, then OCF will disburse funds to the suggested qualified charity, and the organization will receive the funds within the time periods described above. If OCF determines that the organization is a qualified charity and does not have an account with Change, then OCF will send a letter to the organization requesting that the Organization establish an account with Change so that OCF can disburse the funds to the organization. While OCF has ultimate discretion, control, and authority as to whether to grant the amount the Bonfire donor contributed to OCF to the organization suggested by Donor-Advisor, OCF will do so unless the charity is not a qualified charity.

Unqualified Charities

If it has been determined that an organization suggested by a Bonfire customer does not meet OCF?s standard Charitable Organization vetting processes and thus is not a qualified charity eligible to receive a grant from OCF, then OCF, or Change on behalf of OCF, for donations to OCF generated by activities which qualify as Solicitation Type A or B under California law, OCF shall notify the donor in writing, via email or otherwise as allowed under applicable law, no later than thirty (30) days after the determination of eligibility and request the donor suggest an alternate organization. The donor shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the email notification to recommend an alternate organization by responding to said notice. If an alternate is timely recommended, then OCF will send the donated funds to the alternate organization no later than thirty (30) days from the last date donors could timely recommend an alternate organization, unless OCF determines the alternate is not a qualified charity. If an alternate is timely recommended and determined not to be a qualified charity, then OCF will select another alternate organization, and send donated funds to the alternate selected by OCF no later than thirty (30) days from the last date donors could timely recommend an alternate organization. If an alternate is not timely recommended, then OCF will select an alternate organization, and send the donated funds to the alternate no later than thirty 30 days from the last date donors could timely recommend an alternate organization.

If it has been determined that an organization suggested by a Bonfire customer donor does not meet OCF?s standard Charitable Organization vetting processes and thus is not a qualified charity eligible to receive a grant from OCF, then OCF, or Change on behalf of OCF, for donations to OCF generated by activities which qualify as Solicitation Type C or D under California law, OCF shall then select an alternate Charitable Organization, and send the donated funds to the alternate no later than 30 days after the determination of eligibility.

Personal Information

For donations generated by activities which qualify as Solicitation Type A or B under California law (including funds raised via Volunteer Fundraising Promotions described herein), Bonfire customers making such donations will have their personal information shared with the recipient charity.

Fees

Fees and other amounts may be deducted from funds that OCF contributes to Qualified Charities as a result of Bonfire charitable sales promotions or volunteer fundraising promotions. Bonfire does not assess fees for donations from the proceeds of product sales. There is a 3.5% payment processing fee assessed for additional donations. You acknowledge that Bonfire may deduct such fees, which they will disclose to you (1) at the time that you complete a donation to OCF using Bonfire?s site(s) or services and/or (2) at the point of solicitation and/or (3) in these policies. In addition, those Qualified Charities receiving any contributions from OCF may also see the specific amounts deducted by Bonfire that solicits charitable contributions on behalf of OCF or engages in charitable sales promotions benefiting OCF in the downloadable payout reports available on the nonprofit?s Bonfire dashboard. OCF will not charge platform fees related to the donations and will send the funds, minus any aforementioned Bonfire fees, to the recipient Qualified Charities.

Miscellaneous

Organizations that receive funds from OCF via charitable sales promotions or volunteer fundraising promotions conducted via the Bonfire platform(s) will receive a report from OCF regarding the donations sent by OCF, or they can log into their account with OCF?s technology partner, Change, to access donation information at https://api.getchange.io/sign_in.

Consent

Any organization that may receive contributions from OCF and has given permission to be included in Bonfire?s own platform(s) has the right to review and approve information about the organization that is included on the Bonfire platform(s). Any information, images, logos, or other content provided by the organization to Bonfire?s own platform(s), Change, or OCF for inclusion on the platform(s) shall be considered pre-approved. See more information at Change?s terms, at https://link.getchange.io/api-tos.

Any nonprofit that does not wish to be included as a Beneficiary of OCF campaigns via charitable sales promotions or volunteer fundraising promotions conducted via the Bonfire Platform(s) can send an email to [email protected]. OCF will promptly remove your organization from our database of eligible nonprofits within three business days after verification by OCF that the request is legitimate.

Sellers who embed or frame a Bonfire Pro Seller Site on a third-party website are solely responsible for that website and may not use it to misrepresent their relationship with Bonfire, collect buyer information in connection with a Bonfire transaction, or display Bonfire content in a misleading or unlawful manner. Bonfire may remove Embedded Content, block framing, or suspend a Pro Seller Site at any time without notice, and Seller will indemnify and hold harmless Bonfire from any claims, losses, or damages arising out of Embedded Content or any third-party website on which Bonfire content is embedded.

You will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the Bonfire Pro Subscription fee paid for the then-current Bonfire Pro Subscription period. You will remain responsible for any outstanding fees for the remainder of the committed subscription period following any cancellation.

Suspension/Termination by Bonfire Pro

Bonfire Pro may immediately terminate or suspend your account and all or a portion of your ecommerce storefront without notice if:

  • - your payment is overdue (provided that we will use reasonable efforts to notify you of the overdue payment before we terminate or suspend);
  • - you provide false or inaccurate information;
  • - you violate these Terms, or any other Bonfire Pro rules or agreements then in effect;
  • - you engage in conduct that is a violation of any applicable law or tariff (including, without limitation, copyright and intellectual property laws); or
  • - if you engage in conduct that is threatening, abusive, or harassing to Bonfire Pro employees, agents, or other Bonfire Pro users.


25. Payouts for Bonfire Pro Users

All Buyer payments for Bonfire-fulfilled and Seller-fulfilled Products and Services will be processed through our third-party payment processor (currently Stripe). We are not a payment processor, money services business or other financial institution. In connection with creation of a Bonfire Pro Account, each Seller will be asked to create your own Stripe Connect account. Each Seller appoints us as your agent for the limited purpose of receiving, holding, and settling payments to you. When we receive payment for any Seller-Fulfilled Product or Products attributable to you, Stripe, as our third-party payment processor, will settle the payment to your Stripe Connect account, less the amounts owed to us, any applicable Transaction Taxes collected and remitted by us, and any applicable payment processing fees owed to Stripe, and subject to your compliance with these Terms. Your receipt of payments from Stripe may be subject to certain additional terms and conditions. We may require that you provide a Form W-9 to us prior to releasing funds.

Each Seller agrees that a Buyer payment received by us, on your behalf, satisfies the Buyer's obligations to make payment to you, regardless of whether we settle such payment to you or not. If we do not settle any such payments as described in these Terms to you, you will have recourse only against us or Stripe and not the Buyer.

You acknowledge and agree that payouts may be subject to eligibility requirements, payout schedules, delayed disbursements, retained balances, reserves, rolling reserves, holds, exposure limits, or other risk-management controls established by Bonfire. These controls may vary based on factors including, but not limited to, your account history, sales activity, fulfillment method, shipment or delivery verification, transaction volume, refund or Chargeback, and other operational, financial, or risk considerations.

Bonfire reserves the right to establish, modify, extend, or release such controls in accordance with its applicable payout policies and risk-management practices, including delaying or withholding all or a portion of amounts otherwise payable to you. Payout timing and availability of funds may vary based on these factors and applicable payment processor requirements. If you have questions regarding a hold or restriction on your payouts, please contact [email protected].

You agree at all times to conform to any and all terms and conditions, duties, and obligations arising out of, or pertinent to, your use of services provided by Stripe through or in connection with your use of our Services or the Sites.

Taxes

Except to the extent Bonfire is required by applicable law to collect and remit Transaction Taxes, each Seller is solely and fully responsible for (i) determining and fulfilling your obligations under applicable laws to report, collect, remit, or include in your pricing any applicable VAT, sales, or use tax arising from any transaction conducted using our Services (collectively, ?Transaction Taxes?); and (ii) payment of any income taxes applicable to the amount you earn through using our Services. You are responsible for reporting any such taxes. We collect tax identification information and report this to tax authorities as legally required. Tax reporting documentation for payouts made through Stripe will be provided by Stripe in accordance with all tax laws and regulations.

In jurisdictions where Bonfire is required by applicable law to act as a marketplace facilitator, Bonfire will collect and remit applicable Transaction Taxes on qualifying marketplace transactions. In other circumstances, Bonfire may facilitate the collection and/or remittance of Transaction Taxes on behalf of a Seller, as applicable. In such jurisdictions, we will remit such Transaction Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority and will provide summary reports of such collections to Seller on a periodic basis, as required by law. We may seek additional amounts from the applicable Seller or Buyer (including by deducting such amounts from future payouts to the Seller) when the Transaction Taxes collected and/or remitted are insufficient to fully discharge that Seller?s tax obligations, and you agree that your sole remedy for Transaction Taxes collected by us is a refund from the applicable tax authority. We will not collect Transaction Taxes on any transaction for which a Seller supplies us with exemption documentation acceptable to us and the applicable taxing authority. You acknowledge and agree that we retain the right, with prior notice to affected Sellers, to cease the collection and remittance of Transaction Taxes in any jurisdiction for any reason.

29. In-Person Sales Using the Bonfire Point of Sale (POS) App

In-Person Sales using the Bonfire POS App require use of Bonfire-approved payment hardware/software only (e.g., approved Stripe Terminal or similar devices/platforms). The Bonfire POS App cannot accept cash payments. GPS Location sharing with the Bonfire POS App from your device must be allowed to properly collect information for sales.

You are responsible for all sales made through the Bonfire POS App, including the accuracy of pricing, inventory, and order details; the collection and remittance of any taxes Bonfire does not collect on your behalf; handling refunds, exchanges, and customer disputes for in-person sales; and the security of any device on which the Bonfire POS App is installed.

We and our Sellers reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order for any reason including limitations on quantities available for purchase, or problems identified by our risk management and fraud departments.

If your order is canceled after your credit card (or another applicable payment method) has been charged, we will issue a credit to your credit card (or another applicable payment method) in the amount of the charge.

Misuse

We have no control over any information published by a Seller on Bonfire?s Services and disclaim all liability to the fullest extent provided by applicable law. We simply do not have the resources to review all information that is published on our Sites or verify information individually for every Campaign, Stores or Seller Site.

While the Bonfire-fulfilled merchandise you order on Bonfire will be sent to you as you anticipate, we have no means of verifying that the funds raised will be used as expressly described by a Seller. All donations made will be at your own risk.

Content created by Sellers or other users may contain links to websites, services, or resources that are not owned or controlled by Bonfire. Bonfire does not review, endorse, or monitor these links, and clicking on them may take you away from the Bonfire Site without notice. Bonfire is not responsible for the content, accuracy, security, or practices of any linked site, including any malware, phishing, fraud, or other harmful content, and you access any linked site at your own risk.

A few examples of what we do NOT consider misuse:

  • - Campaigns, Stores, or Seller Sites created on behalf of a Beneficiary who is not aware that funds are being raised on their behalf.
  • - An idealistic or philosophical disagreement with the nature of the Campaign, Store, or Seller Site or character of the Seller.
  • - Multiple Campaigns, Stores, or Seller Sites set up on behalf of a person, charity, or event.
