GENERAL NOTICE
These are the Terms of Service that govern your access and use of Tithify and the services we offer. Use of Tithify services requires your agreement to be bound by the terms outlined in this Agreement. This "Agreement" is a legal agreement between you/your ministry and Tithify. Before a new ministry/organization can be registered, agreement and consent must be given by the administrator (user account that is registering the ministry/organization). For a ministry/organization that is already registered, all newly created staff accounts (upon first login), must agree/provide consent to the Terms of Service.
YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS AND CONDITION AND THE SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICES WITHIN TITHIFY.
DEFINITIONS
- Organization: A term that refers to the entity registered within Tithify. This can include churches, ministries, faith-based organizations, missions, non-profit or other ministry based entity.
- You: A representative of the organization within Tithify. Use of "you" or "You" implies "Your and the organization you represent".
- Service/Services: The free and/or paid services offered by Tithify at sites/subdomains hosted at Tithify.com (to include www.tithify.com, services.tithify.com, mygiving.tithify.com -- and all other subdomains hosted at Tithify.com).
- Tithify Web Portal: The Tithify website -- hosted via the top level domain tithify.com or any subdomain of tithify.com.
Tithify is a SaaS (Software as a Service) product that is owned by Vineyard Technologies, LLC., a Virginia Corporation. Unless otherwise indicated in this Agreement, all communications with Tithify should be directed to Tithify via e-mail at info@tithify.com or by mail to Tithify/Vineyard Technologies, LLC, P.O. Box 4778, Midlothian, VA 23112.
REGISTRATION
Registration is required to use the services offered by Tithify. During registration, Tithify will ask for information to help identify your identity and organization. You agree to provide complete and accurate information during the registration process, and you agree not to provide any registration information that is false, misleading or incorrect. You also agree to update your profile information when your information changes.
If at any time we have any reason to believe that any of your registration information is inaccurate, untrue, incomplete or otherwise incorrect, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement.
Additionally, we may refuse to grant you a specific username that may be misconstrued as another individual, is illegal, protected by trademark or other proprietary rights law, is offensive or vulgar, may cause harm or confusion to others, or any other instance as determined by our sole discretion.
USER ACESS TO SERVICES
Only one individual can access Tithify using a specific user account. A user account is defined a unique user name/password combination for accessing the Tithify site. We want you to use separate permissions -- as this allows for a more secure method of managing resources (each user account can have a separate set of roles and/or permissions). In addition, this allows an audit trail to be established on a per-user basis. The audit trail allows ministry administrators and user accounts with the appropriate role/permission to view a list of actions performed by a user account. Remember: there is no charge to create additional user accounts for ministry staff.
PAYMENT FOR SERVICES
Online payment via debit/credit card is the only method used to subscribe to Tithify Services. Payment is due on a monthly basis (one month from the date of full registration). When registering an organization on Tithify, we do not ask for a debit/credit card. During this time, your ministry/organization will have a 30 day trial access to Tithify. At the end of the trial period, you will be asked whether you would like to continuing using Tithify (at which point, we will ask for a debit/credit card) or cancel your trial use of our service. If you choose to join the Tithify family and user our service, your ministry/organization will be billed, one month later, using the debit/credit card used when fully registering the ministry. Subsequent payments will be debited in monthly intervals.
Tithify subscription prices are based on the number of people/organizations stored within your Tithify ministry database. Tithify uses a Level 1 PCI DSS Certified Recurring Billing Provider. Offline payments via check, money order, or invoice/purchase order are not accepted. Specific prices are governed by the subscription tier listed on the Tithify website.
When the number of person/organization records for an organization moves upward, into a new subscription tier, the ministry will be billed at the rate of the new tier. All subscription payments will be applied to the same debit/credit card. If a new debit/credit card is used, all subsequent payments will be billed to the new debit/credit card. Please note that if your organization's subscription tier is lowered (due to the removal of previously added people/organization records) OR if you cancel your organization's use of our service, there is no proration of remaining funds for the month.
If your organization's person/organizational record count drops below a subscription tier, your organization will automatically be placed in the lower subscription tier. Your subscription will automatically
be charged the price associated with the lower subscription tier during the next billing cycle and each billing period after that. No refund, under any circumstances, will be made for an
organization that is automatically placed in a lower tier based on partial use of a subscription tier.
You agree to provide Tithify with a valid debit/credit card and agree to keep accurate and complete personal information up-to-date. If you want to use a different debit/credit card, or if there is a change in the debit/credit card information or expiration date, you must update the information within Tithify. Failure to comply may result in suspension or termination of access to Services.
To cancel your organization's subscription to Tithify, you must terminate your use of our Services as outlined in the TERMINATION section of this Agreement.
Tithify, at its discretion, will assess an additional 1.5% (or the highest amount allowed by law) per month late charge if your payment is more than 45 days past due. Past due amounts are due immediately. For past due amounts, Tithify reserves the right to suspend your organization's access to our Service until the account is made current. You/your organization will also be responsible for any fees, including reasonable attorney and collection fees, that Tithify may incur in the collection process. You also agree that you/your organization will be billed for and will pay any outstanding balances if you cancel the Service, or the Services are terminated.
Should you have a billing discrepancy, you agree to contact Tithify by phone at (888) 56-FAITH (888-563-2484) within 30 days after said discrepancy appears on your statement. If you do not bring such a discrepancy to
the attention of Tithify staff within 30 days, you agree to waive your right to dispute such discrepancies. If a discrepancy is found, Tithify will provide a refund in the form of electronic disbursement
to the debit/credit card saved via the Tithify website.
Tithify reserves the right to change the amount of fees or charges for Services, and to change the billing cycle. We also reserve the right to change the types of Services offered for specific subscription tiers,
providing notice of such changes to registered users via their designated primary e-mail account or posted as a message to your Tithify Inbox within the Tithify website.
SECURITY / DATA SAFEGUARDS
Tithify takes great care to safeguard your ministry data. Your debit/credit card, personal information, billing information and all other information are stored with security in mind.
To protect the security of your credit card information, we employ industry-standard TLS/SSL technology. Your debit/credit card number is not stored on Tithify servers. Your debit/credit card number is stored and accessed via a Third Party, Level 1 PCI Compliant Payment Gateway. All communications with the gateway is done via TLS/SSL and is secure.
Payment Gateways/Merchant services used by Tithify operate their own services, and they are responsible for their own terms of service and privacy policies. Payment Gateways/Merchant Services used by Tithify are solely responsible for how they use the information they acquire from or about you/your organization. A link to the terms of service for the Payment Gateway (used to process debit/credit card donations for your organization's constituents) will be provided when setting up your organization's funding account.
For more information regarding our policy, as it relates to privacy, please review our Privacy Policy linked at the bottom of the Tithify Services website.
If you believe someone has accessed your account within Tithify without your authorization, you must contact us via telephone at (888) 56-FAITH (888-563-2484) immediately.
TERMINATION
When you submit a cancellation/deletion of service request to Tithify via the web portal, your ministry/organization and all associated data will be locked and placed in a "Pending Delete" status. All
access to Tithify services will be suspended during this time. An organization will be in a "Pending Delete" status for 14 days. During this time,
your ministry/organization can be reinstated by having the administrator account, created during registration, perform a "Restore" on the ministry/organization. If a "Restore" is not made within
14 days, all organizational data will be purged from Tithify servers with an exception of chat logs, survey data, bug/error logs, feedback messages and forum posts made by organizational user accounts
during the use of the service. An organization and any data associated with that organization cannot be reinstated once it has been purged from the system.
Cancellation/Deletion of the subscription will signify a termination of all Tithify services. You may cancel the your subscription to Tithify services, at any time. No refund will be given for a partially used month of Tithify services.
If you cancel the service, you may not transfer the balance of any unused time on your account to another organization subscription or user account.
Tithify may terminate this Agreement, and your access to its Services if, in our judgment, you violate any part of this Agreement or any sub-agreement.
Upon termination of this Agreement, by you or Tithify, you shall immediately discontinue use of the Services.
