Website & Donation Terms

1. About the website

This website provides information about Let Hope Rise Gaza, a community-led humanitarian initiative, and links supporters to third-party payment services.

2. Organizational and tax status

The website does not represent Let Hope Rise Gaza as a U.S. 501(c)(3) public charity. Unless a qualified organization, fiscal sponsor, or payment receipt explicitly states otherwise, contributions should not be assumed to be tax-deductible.

3. Voluntary contributions

Contributions are voluntary and are intended to support the humanitarian mission described on the website, including food, water, hygiene essentials, medical resources, and closely related urgent needs.

4. Use of funds and changing conditions

Conditions on the ground may change quickly. When a stated purchase becomes unavailable, unsafe, impractical, or less urgent, funds may be used for a closely related humanitarian purpose within the initiative's mission. Material changes should be documented in project updates where feasible.

5. Payment processing

Payments are completed through third-party payment providers such as PayPal. Their terms, eligibility rules, currency conversion, fees, holds, refunds, account requirements, and privacy practices apply to transactions they process.

6. Refunds

If you believe a payment was made in error, contact the payment provider promptly and use the initiative's public contact channel once it is published. Refund availability may depend on whether funds have already been committed or spent and on the payment provider's rules.

7. Accuracy of information

The initiative aims to publish accurate information but field conditions, prices, beneficiary counts, and availability can change. Material errors should be corrected when identified. Reported figures should be understood in light of the methodology described on the Transparency page.

8. Photographs and content

Website photographs are used to document humanitarian conditions and activities. Do not download, republish, or use beneficiary images in a misleading, exploitative, commercial, or harassing manner.

9. Prohibited use

You may not misuse the site, attempt unauthorized access, impersonate the initiative, create fraudulent fundraising pages, scrape personal information, interfere with site security, or use site materials to deceive donors.

10. Third-party links

The website may link to third-party services. Let Hope Rise Gaza does not control those services and is not responsible for their availability, security, or independent content.

11. No guarantee of uninterrupted availability

Internet access, hosting, communications, payment services, and field operations can be disrupted. The website may be unavailable or information may be updated after delays.

12. Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated as the initiative's legal status, payment setup, or website features change. The date at the top should be revised when material changes are made.

13. Contact

A dedicated public contact channel should be added before public launch.
