Terms & Conditions

Below, you will find Wikando GmbH's General Terms and Conditions for FundraisingBox in PDF and text format.

1 Scope

These “General Terms and Conditions FundraisingBox” (hereafter referred to as “Terms and Conditions“ or “TC”) apply to agreements with WIKANDO GmbH, Schiessgrabenstrassse 32, 86150 Augsburg, Germany (hereafter referred to as “WIKANDO”) concerning the FundraisingBox services, as well as services provided by WIKANDO in connection with the provision of FundraisingBox, for current and future individual orders, unless the parties have expressly agreed otherwise in writing or text form. Individual agreements between WIKANDO and the Customer, particularly in specific offers/orders, shall take precedence over these Terms and Conditions where they deviate from them. Such agreements shall be governed by a written contract or a record in text form.

Under the name “FundraisingBox,” WIKANDO provides organizations, companies, foundations, institutions, and parties (hereafter referred to as “Customer”) with a digital fundraising platform featuring functions and integrations for payment processing, donation and data maintenance, donor communication, relationship management, task management, and automation of organizational processes.

Alongside FundraisingBox, consulting and project services covering communication, web design, content management, customer relationship management, and payment can be commissioned from WIKANDO by mutual agreement.

FundraisingBox is made available by WIKANDO solely for use via the Internet. FundraisingBox is not aimed at consumers.

2 Contract conclusion, access details, account holder

2.1.The contract for the services of FundraisingBox is concluded by the Customer confirming the online contract form provided by WIKANDO.

2.2. After a contract has been concluded, WIKANDO will verify whether the Customer corresponds to WIKANDO’s values within the meaning of clause 3.3. The parties have an extraordinary right to terminate without notice until fourteen (14) days after the contract conclusion.

2.3. If the contract with WIKANDO is concluded by the applicant on behalf of an organization, company, or other legal entity of the Customer, the applicant warrants that he or she is authorized to make binding declarations to conclude this contract as a representative on behalf of this Customer.

2.4. When concluding the contract with WIKANDO, the Customer generates a password itself, which is mandatory for using the FundraisingBox in combination with the email address provided. This initial access data will be assigned to the Customer’s authorized representative. The Customer hereby confirms that this authorized user is entitled to make legally binding declarations on behalf of the Customer during the contract duration, to order or cancel additional FundraisingBox services, or to commission further consulting and project services (in these Terms and Conditions, this user or the respective access details is referred to as the “Account Holder”). The Account Holder must order services in text form or as a booking via the FundraisingBox store. The Account Holder must also terminate services in text form.

2.5. Only the Account Holder can create additional users in the FundraisingBox, depending on the scope of services booked. The respective users can maintain their usage data in FundraisingBox independently. However, they are only authorized to represent the Customer in legal transactions and to commission further services if the Account Holder has transferred such authorization rights.

2.6. On the part of the Customer, the current Account Holder can make changes to the Account Holder within the FundraisingBox. Upon a change, the current Account Holder loses his or her status as an Account Holder, and the succeeding Account Holder takes his or her place; now, he or she is exclusively authorized to make legally binding declarations on behalf of the Customer within FundraisingBox. If a change of Account Holder by the Customer is no longer possible through the previous Account Holder, e.g., because the previous Account Holder has since left the Customer as an employee, a change request for the Account Holder must be submitted to WIKANDO in writing or text form. WIKANO reserves the right to request proof of legitimacy from the applicant before making the change.

2.7. The Customer undertakes to keep the user data and passwords of the Account Holder and the other created users secret and obliges all users to maintain confidentiality accordingly. In doing so, the Customer shall exercise no less than the duty of care of a prudent businessperson to ensure that the data is not disclosed to unauthorized third parties.

3 Contractual object

FundraisingBox and WIKANDO values

3.1. With FundraisingBox, WIKANDO offers a software-as-a-service solution featuring various performance and function levels.

3.2. The scope and functions agreed with the Customer shall be based on the arrangements made upon contract conclusion. Subsequent changes are possible by mutual agreement during the contract term.

3.3. WIKANDO upholds the corporate values set out in clause 3.4 and only enters into contracts with customers who share these values. WIKANDO reserves the right to regularly review whether its customers continue to share these values, even after the contract has been concluded. While it is in no way WIKANDO’s intention to evaluate the individual commitment of an organization, WIKANDO is convinced that both parties should only enter into or maintain a cooperation if there is sufficient value alignment as the only way to create added value, proximity, and a level of cooperation that is effective. If the Customer’s values described in clause 3.4 do not or no longer correspond to those of WIKANDO, WIKANDO is entitled to an extraordinary right of termination without notice.

3.4. WIKANDO’s partnerships are focused on positive social impact, diversity, tolerance, human rights, ethics, the environmental, conservational, economic, and social sustainability, the promotion of education and disaster relief as well as an inclusive, respectful society while valuing the diversity of non-profit organizations, their individual goals and supporting them anywhere from regional to global.

WIKANDO does not cooperate with organizations that advocate, support, or practice discrimination based on age, ethnicity, gender, national origin, disability, race, size, religion, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic background.

WIKANDO also rejects cooperation with religious organizations whose primary goal is spreading a particular faith or who do not offer community engagement for all people regardless of their faith.

WIKANDO also rejects organizations whose content could potentially endanger peaceful democratic coexistence, such as fueling hostility between groups without showing a willingness to engage in dialogue, to settle conflicts, or the deliberate distribution or generation of false information. WIKANDO does neither support anti-democratic tendencies, agitation, or hostility towards groups of people nor climate change denial.

Modifications, additions, or extensions to the FundraisingBox software

3.5. FundraisingBox is based on FundraisingBox software developed by WIKANDO. WIKANDO reserves all rights to FundraisingBox software. The Customer has no right whatsoever to the provision of the FundraisingBox software.

3.6. WIKANDO is constantly developing the FundraisingBox software, e.g., to improve it, add functionalities, change it, or fix bugs. During the contract term, WIKANDO will operate FundraisingBox based on the most up-to-date version of the FundraisingBox software that WIKANDO has publicly released for the operation of FundraisingBox. The Customer agrees that WIKANDO will operate the FundraisingBox using the most recent version of the FundraisingBox software for the duration of the contract. WIKANDO reserves the right to withdraw a new version or individual new features after an appropriate test phase.

3.7. WIKANDO reserves the right to make modifications, additions, or extensions to the FundraisingBox software and, thus, to the scope of services of FundraisingBox during the contract term. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that this may result in alterations, additions, or extensions in the scope of services of FundraisingBox. If the change is unreasonable for the Customer or jeopardizes the contract purpose, the Customer may terminate this contract subject to thirty (30) days’ notice.

3.8 WIKANDO shall inform the Customer in advance of any changes to FundraisingBox associated with the provision of new versions.

Connected third-party services

3.9. FundraisingBox provides the option of integrating third-party services into FundraisingBox. The FundraisingBox software contains a store where all available add-ons (“integrations”) and their description can be viewed, whereby their availability to the Customer may depend on the software version booked by the Customer. WIKANDO reserves the right to change the selection of integrations, particularly if the third-party provider adapts or discontinues them. Third-party providers provide these integrations and bear the sole responsibility for them.

Third-party integrations are not a service provided by WIKANDO. The scope of functions, prices, and duration, as well as the terms of use for the provision of the third-party integrations, including their support, are governed by the contractual provisions between the Customer and the third-party provider. WIKANDO assumes no liability or warranty for such third-party integrations.

To be able to use a third-party integration, the Customer requires permission to use the desired integration.

3.10. WIKANDO’s scope of services includes a functional interface to the third-party provider’s service at the time of contract conclusion. WIKANDO undertakes to re-establish a connection to the third-party provider’s service within a reasonable period if the third-party provider changes its services or interface during the contract term, provided this is possible with economically justifiable effort. However, WIKANDO does not guarantee that the services of the third-party provider can continue to be used during the contract term after the third-party provider has changed its scope of services or its interface for accessing its scope of services.

3.11. In individual cases, it is possible to conclude the third-party service agreement with a third-party provider within the access to FundraisingBox. Still, the contract for the third-party provider’s service is concluded exclusively between the Customer and the third-party provider; WIKANDO does not become a contracting party.

Consulting and project services

3.12. By concluding the contract for FundraisingBox, WIKANDO is not obliged to provide any further consulting or project services for the provision of FundraisingBox as a Software-as-a-Service solution beyond the services specified at the time of the contract conclusion.

3.13. If the Customer requests further consulting or project services in connection with FundraisingBox, such as integrating the donation forms provided with FundraisingBox into the Customer’s website, such services shall be agreed upon separately between the Customer and WIKANDO.

3.14. Unless WIKANDO and the Customer have explicitly agreed on providing a work performance at the time of commissioning, WIKANDO shall provide the commissioned consulting and project services as services under Sections 611 et seq. German Civil Code (BGB).

During this maintenance window, the FundraisingBox services may not be available to the Customer.

4.4. WIKANDO endeavors to carry out maintenance work exclusively within the regular maintenance windows so that the availability of the FundraisingBox software is minimally impaired. In urgent cases, for example, in the event of a system failure or to install security-relevant patches, WIKANDO reserves the right to carry out maintenance work at short notice within the service hours, in which case the use of FundraisingBox may be restricted or barred for the duration of this maintenance work.

4.5. In the event of interruptions resulting from force majeure, including strikes or lockouts, FundraisingBox will also be unavailable or only available to a limited extent.

6.5. WIKANDO shall rectify a reported defect within due course.

6.6. If the error correction fails within a reasonable period and for reasons for which WIKANDO is responsible, the Customer may reduce the agreed remuneration by a fair amount for the further period during which the affected FundraisingBox services remain only available with errors.

11.3. Payment may be made monthly or annually, depending on the individual order.

In the case of monthly payment, the usage period begins on the day the account is activated and ends after one month. Payment is due on the first day of the contractually agreed usage period and in subsequent months on each day of the month corresponding to this day.

14.2. In the event of a breach of a material contractual obligation, WIKANDO’s liability shall be limited to the damage typical for the contract and reasonably foreseeable at the time of concluding this offering unless one of the cases listed in clause 14.1 applies.

14.3. Any further liability of WIKANDO for damages or reimbursement of fruitless expenditures is expressly excluded. However, liability under the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

14.4. WIKANDO and the Customer agree that a maximum of €5,000.00 (five-thousand) per case of damage, but a maximum total of €20,000.00 (twenty-thousand), except in the case of direct personal injury, shall be sufficient to cover the typical contractual damage to be compensated that was reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract was concluded. The Customer shall inform WIKANDO without delay before the contract conclusion if there is a higher risk of damage so that the parties can negotiate a corresponding adjustment of the liabilities before signing the contract.

 

15 Term and termination
