Subject to these Terms of Service, as amended from time to time (“Terms of Service”), Myte, LLC, (“Myte”) provides the Myte platform to you through its website at www.joinmyte.com and attendant mobile applications (collectively, with any new features and applications, the “Platform”).
Myte vets and qualifies charities (“Qualified Charities” as more fully defined below) and provides Donors (as defined below) with access to its network of Qualified Charities and descriptions of specific charitable needs. (collectively, with the Platform, including any new features and applications, the “Donor Services”) Myte groups charitable Causes based on the type of need (administrative, program, etc.) and the type of Charitable activity (housing, water, etc). Donors may then Donate to multiple Qualified Charities or specific Causes by making one payment or subscribing to recurring payments.
Myte does not receive Donor funds or charge Donors for making donations. Instead, Myte Giving Fund (a Qualified Charity, hereafter “MGF”) collects all donations from Donors to each Qualified Charity and distributes those amounts in aggregate. MGF utilizes a third-party payment processor and generally makes donation payments to Qualified Charities within 30 days, but Payment Processors may delay payments as described below. All references to Myte in this Agreement mean Myte LLC, not MGF.
Qualified Charities pay a subscription fee for access to the Platform (collectively, with the Platform, including any new features and applications, the “Qualified Charity Services”). Qualified Charity Services pricing is tiered increases based on the level of services provided and the transaction volume (the “Qualified Charity Fees”). For a full list of Qualified Charity Fees, please see Exhibit 1.
If you are a Donor (as defined below), or any other individual person or entity who utilizes the Platform or Services (collectively, “User”, “you” and “your”) located in the United States you are contracting with Myte, LLC, a Texas Limited Liability Company whose address is 5900 Balcones Drive Suite 15718 Austin, Texas 78731, and Myte Giving Fund, a Texas nonprofit corporation whose mailing address is 5900 Balcones Drive Suite 19622 Austin, Texas 78731.
Unless specifically indicated otherwise, for purposes of the following Terms of Service, “Myte,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and other similar terms, refer collectively to Myte, LLC, and MGF .
By visiting the Platform, accessing the Platform, accessing any of the Services or using any of the Services, you agree to and are bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service, then you may not visit, access, or use the Platform or the Services. We exclusively provide the Platform and Services to Users in some, but not all, of states in the United States of America. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to provide the Platform and Services in some states and not others. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Notice. IF YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 18, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SERVICES. Certain aspects of our Services may also require you to register with, and agree to the terms of, third-party service providers (e.g., Payment Processors), with whom Myte has entered into contracts, in order to be able to benefit from their services. If Myte or one of our Payments Processors at any time discovers that the information you provided about you is incorrect or violates any of these Terms of Service or their terms of service, your access to the Services may be immediately suspended or terminated and fines may be applied by relevant authorities, which will in all such cases be payable solely by you.
ARBITRATION, JURY TRIAL, AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER: EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE DESCRIBED IN THE DISPUTES SECTION BELOW, BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. PLEASE REVIEW THE DISPUTES SECTION CAREFULLY; BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify portions of these Terms of Service at any time and without notice. When we do this, we will post the revised Terms of Service on this page and will indicate the date of such revision. Your continued use of the Services after the date of any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service. To the extent allowed by law, the English version of these Terms of Service is binding and other translations are for convenience only. If you do not wish to accept the new Terms of Service, you may discontinue your use of the Services.
YOU AGREE TO RELEASE, INDEMNIFY ON DEMAND, AND HOLD MYTE, MYTE GIVING FUND, AND THEIR AFFILIATES AND THEIR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, AND AGENTS HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL LOSSES, DAMAGES, EXPENSES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, COSTS, AWARDS, FINES, DAMAGES, RIGHTS, CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTIONS OF ANY KIND OR INJURY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, ANY DONATION, ANY USER CONTENT, YOUR CONNECTION TO THE SERVICES, YOUR VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE OR YOUR VIOLATION OF ANY RIGHTS OF ANOTHER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PERSONAL INJURY AND ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. YOU AGREE THAT MYTE HAS THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT ITS OWN DEFENSE OF ANY CLAIMS AT ITS OWN DISCRETION AND THAT YOU WILL INDEMNIFY MYTE FOR ALL OF THE COSTS OF ITS DEFENSE (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ATTORNEY’S FEES).
1. The Services Description: The Services are offered as a platform to allow non-profit entities and non-profit public charities eligible to receive donations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code as modified (“Qualified Charities”) to accept monetary charitable contributions and gifts eligible for a US federal income tax deduction under §170 of the Code (“Donations”) from donors (“Donors”) for specific causes (“Causes”) offered by Qualified Charities. Only Qualified Charities may be recipients of Donations. No goods or services can be received in exchange for a Donation.
2. We are Not a Payment Processor: Myte is not a payment processor, nor does it receive any Donations from Donors. Instead, Donations are sent directly to MGF via third-party payment processing partners engaged by Myte LLC to process Donations for a Qualified Charity (“Payment Processor”). You acknowledge and agree that the payment to MGF and the use of Payment Processors is integral to the Services and that we exchange information with Payment Processors to facilitate the provision of the Services in accordance with our Privacy Notice. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY FOR PAYMENT PROCESSOR ERRORS, BANKRUPTCY OR FRAUD.
3. Donations to MGF. You will receive a donation receipt from MGF in the amount of your aggregate annual Donations to Qualified Charities on the Platform. MGF is a Qualified Charity classified as a Private Pass-through Foundation because it distributes 100 percent of the Donations to Qualified Charities selected by Donors by March 15th of the following year. The Donations are qualified charitable contributions under §170(b)(1)(F), subject to the higher cap of 50% of the Donors AGI (60% until January 1, 2026). All Donations made through the Platform are aggregated and then Donated to the Cause of the Qualified Charity selected by each Donor. This allows Donors to recognize tax-deductible status for their Donations (to the extent permitted by law) while receiving only one Donation Receipt.
Myte, LLC is a for-profit limited liability company that owns and operates the software and technology on which the Platform is based and through which the Services are provided. Myte LLC charges Charitable Fees to each Qualified Charity on the Platform. Myte, LLC and MGF may each assign or delegate certain tasks in connection with the Platform to their affiliates or service providers. MGF may not engage (or pay) Myte, LLC to perform any operational or administrative tasks on its behalf.
4. Transaction Fee(s): Although there are no fees to register as a User on Myte, please keep in mind that a transaction fee, including credit and debit charges, is deducted from each Donation (in these Terms of Service and on the Platform, “Transaction Fee”) applied by the applicable Payment Processor and in accordance with that Payment Processor’s procedures and terms. Donors will have the option, but not the obligation, to pay for the Transaction Fee as part of their Donation. In the event a Donor does not pay for the Transaction Fee as part of their Donation, the Transaction Fee will be taken from the total amount of the Donation. The Qualified Charity’s receipt of Donations, minus any applicable Transaction Fees, is likewise based upon and subject to the applicable Payment Processor’s procedures and terms.
6. NO REFUNDS: YOU AS A DONORACKNOWLEDGE, AGREE, AND UNDERSTAND, THAT (1) ALL DONATIONS MADE ARE NON- REFUNDABLE; (2) YOU AS THE DONOR ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT THE AMOUNT OF YOUR DONATION IS ACCURATE AND CORRECT PRIOR TO GIVING SUCH DONATION THROUGH THE PLATFORM OR SERVICES; (3) MYTE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, NOR WILL MYTE COMPENSATE OR REIMBURSE YOU FOR, ANY LOSS INCURRED DUE TO USE OF THE PLATFORM, USE OF THE SERVICES, OR ANY DONATION YOU SUBMIT THROUGH MYTE; AND (4) IF MGF IS UNABLE TO GRANT A DONATION TO THE CAUSE OF A QUALIFIED CHARITY DESIGNATED BY THE DONOR, MGF HAS THE SOLE DISCRETION TO REDIRECT SUCH FUNDS TO THE QUALIFIED CHARITY OF ITS SELECTION WITHOUT NOTIFYING THE DONOR.
Should a Donor dispute a credit card charge for Donations through the Services or submit a request for a refund in spite of this No Refund Policy, and such Donations are refunded to the Donor by a Payment Processor, those funds which are already remitted payment to the Qualified Charity by MGF, the chargebacks or refunds will be deducted from future payments to the Qualified Charity, and if necessary, an invoice will be issued to the Qualified Charity. The Qualified Charity expressly agrees that: (a) it will be responsible for paying MGF the full amount of any Donation refund due to a Donor; and (b) MGF, as applicable, may elect to offset a future Donation rather than requesting that the Qualified Charity return the refunded Donation.
7. Myte is not a Broker, Financial Institution, or Creditor: Myte facilitates Donations for each Qualified Charity and permits Donors to make Donations to the Qualified Charity(s) of the Donors’ choosing in one centralized Platform. The Services are administrative platforms only. WHILE THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MYTE, LLC AND MGF IN CONNECTION WITH THE OPERATION OF THE PLATFORM AND THE SERVICES, NEITHER MYTE LLC NOR MGF ARE A BROKER, AGENT, FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, OR CREDITOR OF ANY QUALIFIED CHARITIES LISTED ON THE PLATFORM. MYTE LLC DOES NOT SOLICIT DONATIONS.
All information and content provided by Myte relating to the Services is for informational purposes only, and Myte does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any such information or content. No content is intended to provide financial, legal, tax, or other professional advice. Before making any decisions regarding any Users, Qualified Charities, Donations, Donors, or any information or content relating to the Services, you should consult your financial, legal, tax, or other professional advisor as appropriate. You acknowledge that all information and content accessed by your use of the Services is at your own risk.
Myte has no control over the conduct of, or any information provided by, a User and disclaims all liability in this regard to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. We do not endorse any Qualified Charity, User, or Cause, but we do provide an initial review and verification of that each Qualified Charity listed on the Platform is a Qualified Charity. See more below in Section 9, “Registration of Charities”. We make no guarantee, express or implied, that any information provided through the Services is accurate. We expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility for the outcome or success of any Qualified Charity. Donors must make the final determination as to the value and appropriateness of contributing to any Qualified Charity.
8. No Solicitation: The Platform is offered to help Qualified Charities raise money. Myte LLC’s Services are not solicitations for Qualified Charities on the Platform, but instead provide Qualified Charities a platform to provide information to Donors and direct payment options for Donors. The existence of the Services is not a solicitation of Donations by Myte LLC, and Myte LLC does not engage in any solicitation activities, or consult on the solicitation of contributions from the public or on behalf of any individual, entity, or Qualified Charity. By using the Services, each User understands and agrees that Myte is not responsible for the use of Donations by the Qualified Charities.
9. Donors: All Donations are at a Donor’s own risk. When you make a Donation through the Platform, it is your responsibility to understand how your money will be used and to check a Qualified Charity’s content regularly for any updates. Myte is not responsible for any offers, promises, rewards or Promotions (as defined below) made or offered by Users or Qualified Charities; such conduct violates these Terms of Service. We do not and cannot verify the information that Users or Qualified Charities supply, nor do we represent or guarantee that the Donations will be used in accordance with any purpose prescribed by a User or Qualified Charity or in accordance with applicable laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we take possible fraudulent activity and the misuse of funds reported to us very seriously. If you have reason to believe that a User or Qualified Charity is not raising or using the funds for their stated purpose, please contact us at support@joinmyte.com.

The Platform, Services or Third Party Providers may provide or facilitate links, tools, widgets, or other features that allow you to access other sites, services, and resources provided by third parties (collectively, “Third-Party Resources”). Myte has no control over such Third-Party Resources or any products, services, or content made available through or by such Third-Party Resources, or the business practices of the third parties providing such Third-Party Resources, and Myte is not responsible for and does not endorse such Third-Party Resources or the products, services, or content made available thereby. You acknowledge that Myte is not responsible or liable for the content, functions, accuracy, legality, appropriateness, or any other aspect of such Third-Party Resources. You further acknowledge and agree that Myte will not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any content, events, goods, or services available on or through any such Third-Party Resources. Any dealings you have with third parties found while using the Services are between you and the third party and may be subject to additional terms provided by the third party, which you agree to by using such Third- Party Resources. As an example of this, if you use the Platform through your mobile device, and you upload a video to a Qualified Charity or Donation page, that video will be uploaded using YouTube, and subject to the YouTube Terms of Service. And you agree that Myte is not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against any such third party.
YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. MYTE AND ITS AFFILIATES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM AND EXCLUDE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, AND REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON- INFRINGEMENT.
MYTE AND ITS AFFILIATES MAKE NO WARRANTY OR CONDITION THAT: (I) THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS; (II) THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; (III) THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE; OR (IV) THE QUALITY OF ANY PRODUCTS, SERVICES, INFORMATION, OR OTHER MATERIAL PURCHASED OR OBTAINED BY YOU THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL MYTE’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES (INCLUDING CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STATUTORY LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) OR CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID MYTE LLC IN THE LAST SIX (6) MONTHS, OR, IF GREATER, ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$ 100).
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICES OR WITH THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICES.
ARBITRATION CLAUSE & CLASS ACTION WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
1. Arbitration; Class Action Waiver: YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US OR ANY OF OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR EMPLOYEES ACTING IN THEIR CAPACITY AS SUCH (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DISPUTE INVOLVES A THIRD PARTY) WITH REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISPUTES RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, OR RIGHTS OF PRIVACY OR PUBLICITY, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU AND WE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING OUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms of Service will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either of us to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (iv) file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual-property infringement claim.
2. The Process: Any arbitration between you and us will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms of Service. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Our current address for Notice is: Myte, LLC, 11300 N. Central Expy. Suite 612 Dallas, Texas 75243, United States. The Notice of Arbitration must: (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to work with you and make a good faith effort to resolve the claim directly, but if we are not successful within 60 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by either of us must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount which exceeds the last written settlement amount offered by us in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, we will pay to you the higher of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; or (b) US$10,000.00.
3. Fees: If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms of Service, we will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at an agreed-on location in Dallas, Texas, but if the claim is for US$10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a telephone hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county of your billing address. If the arbitration finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in the Federal Rule of Civil procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse us for all monies previously disbursed by us that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
4. No Class Actions: YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
5. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision: If we make any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to our address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to our address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with us will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
6. Enforceability: This Disputes Section shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision hereof shall be prohibited or invalid under any such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or nullifying the remainder of such provision or any other provisions of this Disputes Section.
7. Confidentiality: We each agree to keep the arbitration proceedings, all information exchanged between us, and any settlement offers confidential, unless otherwise required by law or requested by law enforcement or any court or governmental body. However, we may each disclose these matters, in confidence, to our respective accountants, auditors, attorneys, and insurance providers.
You agree that Myte, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or your access to the Services and remove and discard any User Content or data at any time and for any reason, with or without notice, and without any liability to you or to any third party for any claims, damages, costs, or losses resulting therefrom.
You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other User in connection with the Services and Myte will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. Myte reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any other User of the Services.
These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Myte and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and Myte with respect to the Services. You also may be subject to additional terms of service that may apply when you use affiliate or third-party services, third-party content, or third- party software. Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms of Service shall not be construed against the drafter. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and Myte agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Dallas County, Texas. The failure of Myte to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be (or are otherwise) invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based on or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of Myte, but Myte may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. If we fail to enforce any of our rights, that does not result in a waiver of that right. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via email or regular mail. The Services may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Platform. Myte may, at any time, assign our rights or delegate our obligations in these Terms of Service without notice to you in connection with a merger, acquisition, Qualified Charity or sale of equity or assets, or by operation of law or otherwise. Nothing in these Terms of Service shall prevent Myte from complying with the law. Myte shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war or threats of war, terrorism or threats of terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, governmental regulation or advisory, recognized health threats as determined by the World Health Qualified Charity or the Centers for Disease Control or local government authority or health agencies, strikes or shortages, or curtailment of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.
At Myte, we respect the privacy of our Users. For details, please see our Privacy Notice. By using the Services, you consent to our collection and use of personal data as outlined therein.
Please contact us at support@joinmyte.com to learn more about Myte’s platform or to report violations or pose any question.
Last updated on August 28, 2024
Subject to these Terms of Service, as amended from time to time (“Terms of Service”), Myte, LLC, (“Myte”) provides the Myte platform to you through its website at www.joinmyte.com and attendant mobile applications (collectively, with any new features and applications, the “Platform”).
Myte vets and qualifies charities (“Qualified Charities” as more fully defined below) and provides Donors (as defined below) with access to its network of Qualified Charities and descriptions of specific charitable needs. (collectively, with the Platform, including any new features and applications, the “Donor Services”) Myte groups charitable Causes based on the type of need (administrative, program, etc.) and the type of Charitable activity (housing, water, etc). Donors may then Donate to multiple Qualified Charities or specific Causes by making one payment or subscribing to recurring payments.
Myte does not receive Donor funds or charge Donors for making donations. Instead, Myte Giving Fund (a Qualified Charity, hereafter “MGF”) collects all donations from Donors to each Qualified Charity and distributes those amounts in aggregate. MGF utilizes a third-party payment processor and generally makes donation payments to Qualified Charities within 30 days, but Payment Processors may delay payments as described below. All references to Myte in this Agreement mean Myte LLC, not MGF.
Qualified Charities pay a subscription fee for access to the Platform (collectively, with the Platform, including any new features and applications, the “Qualified Charity Services”). Qualified Charity Services pricing is tiered increases based on the level of services provided and the transaction volume (the “Qualified Charity Fees”). For a full list of Qualified Charity Fees, please see Exhibit 1.
If you are a Qualified Charity, (“Qualified Charity”, “you” and “your”) located in the United States you are contracting with Myte, LLC, a Texas Limited Liability Company whose address is 5900 Balcones Drive. Suite 15718 Austin, Texas 78731, and Myte Giving Fund, a Texas nonprofit corporation whose mailing address is 5900 Balcones Drives, Suite 19622, Austin Texas 78731.
Unless specifically indicated otherwise, for purposes of the following Terms of Service, “Myte,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and other similar terms, refer collectively to Myte, LLC, and the MGF.
By visiting the Platform, accessing the Platform, accessing any of the Services or using any of the Services, you agree to and are bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service, then you may not visit, access, or use the Platform or the Services. We exclusively provide the Platform and Services to Users (“User” is defined for purposes of these Charities Terms of Services as any other individual person or entity or utilizes the Platform or Services) in some, but not all, of states in the United States of America. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to provide the Platform and Services in some states and not others. The Platform and
Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Notice. IF YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 18, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SERVICES. Certain aspects of our Services may also require you to register with, and agree to the terms of, third-party service providers (e.g., Payment Processors), with whom Myte has entered into contracts, in order to be able to benefit from their services. If Myte or one of our Payments Processors at any time discovers that the information you provided about you is incorrect or violates any of these Terms of Service or their terms of service, your access to the Services may be immediately suspended or terminated and fines may be applied by relevant authorities, which will in all such cases be payable solely by you.
ARBITRATION, JURY TRIAL, AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER: EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE DESCRIBED IN THE DISPUTES SECTION BELOW, BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. PLEASE REVIEW THE DISPUTES SECTION CAREFULLY; BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify portions of these Terms of Service at any time and without notice. When we do this, we will post the revised Terms of Service on this page and will indicate the date of such revision. Your continued use of the Services after the date of any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service. To the extent allowed by law, the English version of these Terms of Service is binding and other translations are for convenience only. If you do not wish to accept the new Terms of Service, you may discontinue your use of the Services.
YOU AGREE TO RELEASE, INDEMNIFY ON DEMAND, AND HOLD MYTE, MGF, AND THEIR AFFILIATES AND THEIR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, AND AGENTS HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL LOSSES, DAMAGES, EXPENSES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, COSTS, AWARDS, FINES, DAMAGES, RIGHTS, CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTIONS OF ANY KIND OR INJURY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, ANY DONATION, ANY QUALIFIED CHARITY CONTENT, YOUR CONNECTION TO THE SERVICES, YOUR VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE OR YOUR VIOLATION OF ANY RIGHTS OF ANOTHER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PERSONAL INJURY AND ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. YOU AGREE THAT MYTE HAS THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT ITS OWN DEFENSE OF ANY CLAIMS AT ITS OWN DISCRETION AND THAT YOU WILL INDEMNIFY MYTE FOR ALL OF THE COSTS OF ITS DEFENSE (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ATTORNEY’S FEES).
1. The Services Description: The Services are offered as a platform to allow non-profit entities and non-profit public charities eligible to receive donations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code as modified (“Qualified Charities”) to accept monetary charitable contributions and gifts eligible for a US federal income tax deduction under §170 of the Code (“Donations”) from donors (“Donors”) for specific causes (“Causes”) offered by Qualified Charities. Only Qualified Charities may be recipients of Donations. No goods or services can be received in exchange for a Donation.
2. We are Not a Payment Processor: Myte is not a payment processor, nor does it receive any Donations from Donors. Instead, Donations are sent directly to MGF via third-party payment processing partners engaged by Myte LLC to process Donations for a Qualified Charity (“Payment Processor”). You acknowledge and agree that the payment to MGF and the use of Payment Processors is integral to the Services and that we exchange information with Payment Processors to facilitate the provision of the Services in accordance with our Privacy Notice. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY FOR PAYMENT PROCESSOR ERRORS, BANKRUPTCY OR FRAUD.
3. Donations to MGF. You will receive a donation receipt from MGF in the amount of your aggregate annual Donations to Qualified Charities on the Platform. MGF is a Qualified Charity classified as a Private Pass-through Foundation because it distributes 100 percent of the Donations to Qualified Charities selected by Donors by March 15th of the following year. The Donations are qualified charitable contributions under §170(b)(1)(F), subject to the higher cap of 50% of the Donors AGI (60% until January 1, 2026). All Donations made through the Platform are aggregated and then Donated to the Cause of the Qualified Charity selected by each Donor. This allows Donors to recognize tax-deductible status for their Donations (to the extent permitted by law) while receiving only one Donation Receipt.
Myte, LLC is a for-profit limited liability company that owns and operates the software and technology on which the Platform is based and through which the Services are provided. Myte LLC charges Charitable Fees to each Qualified Charity on the Platform. Myte, LLC and MGF may each assign or delegate certain tasks in connection with the Platform to their affiliates or service providers. MGF may not engage (or pay) Myte, LLC to perform any operational or administrative tasks on its behalf.
4. Transaction Fee(s): Although there are no fees to register as a User on Myte, please keep in mind that a transaction fee, including credit and debit charges, is deducted from each Donation (in these Terms of Service and on the Platform, “Transaction Fee”) applied by the applicable Payment Processor and in accordance with that Payment Processor’s procedures and terms. Donors will have the option, but not the obligation, to pay for the Transaction Fee as part of their Donation. In the event a Donor does not pay for the Transaction Fee as part of their Donation, the Transaction Fee will be taken from the total amount of the Donation. The Qualified Charity’s receipt of Donations, minus any applicable Transaction Fees, is likewise based upon and subject to the applicable Payment Processor’s procedures and terms.
5. Receiving Funds: As a Qualified Charity, receipt of Donations, minus any applicable Transaction Fees, is based upon and subject to the applicable Payment Processor’s procedures and terms and any additional agreement between Myte LLC and the Qualified Charity. Available Payment Processors are described under “Payment Processors” below.
6. DONATION POLICY: MYTE AND MGF DO NOT EXTEND DONATION REFUNDS TO DONORS. AS A QUALIFIED CHARITY, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE, AGREE, AND UNDERSTAND, THAT (1) MYTE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, NOR WILL MYTE COMPENSATE OR REIMBURSE YOU FOR, ANY LOSS INCURRED DUE TO USE OF THE PLATFORM, USE OF THE SERVICES, OR ANY DONATION SUBMITTED THROUGH MYTE; AND (2) IF MGF IS UNABLE TO GRANT A DONATION TO THE CAUSE OF A QUALIFIED CHARITY DESIGNATED BY THE DONOR, MGF HAS THE SOLE DISCRETION TO REDIRECT SUCH FUNDS TO THE QUALIFIED CHARITY OF ITS SELECTION WITHOUT NOTIFYING THE DONOR.
Should a Donor dispute a credit card charge for Donations through the Services or submit a request for a refund in spite of this Donation Policy, and such Donations are refunded to the Donor by a Payment Processor, those funds which are already remitted payment to the Qualified Charity by MGF, the chargebacks or refunds will be deducted from future payments to the Qualified Charity, and if necessary, an invoice will be issued to the Qualified Charity. The Qualified Charity expressly agrees that: (a) it will be responsible for paying MGF the full amount of any Donation refunded to a Donor by a Payment Processor; and (b) MGF, as applicable, may elect to offset a future Donation rather than requesting that the Qualified Charity return the refunded Donation.
7. Myte is not a Broker, Financial Institution, or Creditor: Myte facilitates Donations for each Qualified Charity and permits Donors to make Donations to the Qualified Charity(s) of the Donors’ choosing in one centralized Platform. The Services are administrative platforms only. WHILE THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MYTE, LLC AND MGF IN CONNECTION WITH THE OPERATION OF THE PLATFORM AND THE SERVICES, NEITHER MYTE LLC NOR MGF ARE A BROKER, AGENT, FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, OR CREDITOR OF ANY QUALIFIED CHARITIES LISTED ON THE PLATFORM. MYTE LLC DOES NOT SOLICIT DONATIONS.
All information and content provided by Myte relating to the Services is for informational purposes only, and Myte does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any such information or content. No content is intended to provide financial, legal, tax, or other professional advice. Before making any decisions regarding any Users, Qualified Charities, Donations, Donors, or any information or content relating to the Services, you should consult your financial, legal, tax, or other professional advisor as appropriate. You acknowledge that all information and content accessed by your use of the Services is at your own risk.
Myte has no control over the conduct of, or any information provided by, a User and disclaims all liability in this regard to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. We do not endorse any Qualified Charity, User, or Cause, but we do provide an initial review and verification of that each Qualified Charity listed on the Platform is a Qualified Charity. See more below in Section 9, “Registration of Charities”. We make no guarantee, express or implied, that any information provided through the Services is accurate. We expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility for the outcome or success of any Qualified Charity. Donors must make the final determination as to the value and appropriateness of contributing to any Qualified Charity.
8. No Solicitation: The Platform is offered to help Qualified Charities raise money. Myte LLC’s Services are not solicitations for Qualified Charities on the Platform, but instead provide Qualified Charities a platform to provide information to Donors and direct payment options for Donors. The existence of the Services is not a solicitation of Donations by Myte LLC, and Myte LLC does not engage in any solicitation activities, or consult on the solicitation of contributions from the public or on behalf of any individual, entity, or Qualified Charity. By using the Services, each User understands and agrees that Myte is not responsible for the use of Donations by the Qualified Charities.
9. Registration of Charities: Before a Charity may use the Services, it must complete—and Myte LLC must approve—a Registration Application provided by Myte LLC. The Charity must provide and maintain true, accurate, current, and complete information about the Charity both in the Registration Application and, after Registration of the Charity by Myte is complete, in the Qualified Charity’s Registered Profile with Myte (“Registered Profile”). Qualified Charities must register using their true identities (or the identities of the Qualified Charities’ authorized representatives), including their name, address, and any image or video purporting to depict the Qualified Charity or the Beneficiary of the Qualified Charity’s Donations. Qualified Charities agree to keep their Registered Profile current and up to date. Certain aspects of the Services may also require the Qualified Charity to register with, and agree to the terms of, third-party service providers (e.g., Payment Processors) (“Third-Party Providers”), with whom Myte maintains a contractual relationship.
10. Qualified Charities: You, as a Qualified Charity represent, warrant, and covenant that: (i) all information you provide in connection with your Qualified Charity is accurate, complete, and not likely to deceive Users and that you will post updates as needed so that Users understand the use of funds and any other relevant information about your Qualified Charity; (ii) all Donations contributed to your Qualified Charity will be used solely as described in the materials that you post or otherwise provide; (iii) if you withdraw from Myte any Donations reasonably believed by Donors to be raised on behalf of someone other than you (“Beneficiary”), all Donations will be given to and/or spent on behalf of the Beneficiary; (iv) if you add a Beneficiary through the Services, you relinquish control of the Donations to the Beneficiary; (v) you will not infringe the rights of others; (vi) you will comply with all relevant and applicable laws and financial reporting
obligations, including but not limited to, laws and obligations relating to registration, tax reporting, political contributions, and asset disclosures for your Qualified Charity; (vii) to the extent you share with us any personal data of any third party for any purpose, including the names, email addresses and phone numbers of your personal contacts, you have the authority (including any necessary consents), as required under applicable law, to provide us with such personal data and allow us to use such personal data for the purposes for which you shared it with us; and (viii) you will not provide or offer to provide goods or services in exchange for Donations. You authorize Myte LLC, and Myte LLC reserves the right, to provide information relating to your Qualified Charity to Donors, Users, or law enforcement or other regulatory authorities, and to assist in any investigation thereof.
If you use the Services as an agent of a Qualified Charity to raise funds for such Qualified Charity, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are a representative of the Qualified Charity and are authorized to raise funds for the Qualified Charity and bind the Qualified Charity to these Terms of Service; (b) you are raising funds for a Qualified Charity with a cause or activity that is legal under all applicable federal, state, provincial, territorial, and local laws and regulations; (c) all donated funds will be used solely for the purpose you have stated on and in connection with the Causes publicized by your Qualified Charity through the Services, and under no circumstances may you use the funds for any other purpose; (d) your Qualified Charity has and will maintain tax-exempt status under applicable law (for example, the Code); and (e) if your Qualified Charity is in the United States, it is registered with GuideStar or the IRS tax-exempt Qualified Charity database. If your Qualified Charity loses its tax-exempt status with the IRS, you must immediately inform Myte LLC in writing of this event and return any Donations within 3 days of such termination. If your Qualified Charity becomes a Private Non-Operating Foundation under §509(a) of the Code, you must inform us in writing within 5 days of the end of the tax year in which your classification changes. Failure to do so may cause a significant tax impact to both Donors and MGF and you agree that Myte may pursue all remedies available under Applicable Law, including specific performance, recovery of legal fees and damages.
11. Removal of a Qualified Charity from our Database: If you are the authorized representative of a Qualified Charity, and you do not wish for your Qualified Charity to appear in Myte’s searchable database, you may email us at support@joinmyte.com to request that your Qualified Charity be removed from our database. Your email should include your full name, title, and an email address and phone number associated with your Qualified Charity. Please note that if your Qualified Charity is removed from the Myte’s database, it will not be eligible to receive Donations through the Platform. If Myte LLC, MGF, or a Third-Party Provider at any time discovers that the information the Qualified Charity provided in its Registration Application or its Registered Profile, including but not limited to information regarding the existence or the purpose of the Qualified Charity, is incorrect or violates any of these Terms and Conditions or the Third-Party Provider’s terms of service, Myte, in its sole discretion, may immediately suspend or terminate its Services to the Qualified Charity, and remove it from the Myte database unilaterally. Additionally, the Qualified Charity is responsible for paying any fines or other penalties associated with such information at the Qualified Charity’s sole cost and expense.
12. Taxes (Qualified Charities): Myte does not withhold funds for tax purposes or otherwise. Qualified Charities will be solely responsible for taxes based on applicable federal, state, local or any other taxes or levies, or for any applicable taxes based on their net income or gross receipts (if any). It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the Donations you receive through your use of the Services. It is solely your responsibility to assess, collect, report or remit the correct tax, if any, to the appropriate tax authority.
13. Donor Lists and Other Data: A Qualified Charity may access information about a Qualified Charity, a representative for the Qualified Charity, Donor Lists (defined below), and Donor Data (defined below) for compliance and transactional purposes. “Donor Data” means a Donor’s name, address, email address, Donation amount, date of transaction, transaction identification number, and name of the Qualified Charity to which the Donor contributed. THE LIST OF DONORS WHO CONTRIBUTE TO A QUALIFIED CHARITY THROUGH THE SERVICES (“DONOR LISTS”) IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND MYTE MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR GUARANTEES ABOUT THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR TIMELINESS OF ANY DONOR LIST OR ANY INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THAT LIST. By using the Services, the Donor consents to the disclosure of Donor’s Donor Data as described in these Terms of Service, including without limitation, disclosure as part of a Donor List. MYTE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR A QUALIFIED CHARITY’S USE OF ANY DONOR DATA.
14. Qualified Charity Account, Password, and Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account, if any, and are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to: (i) immediately notify Myte of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security; and (ii) sign out from your account at the end of each session when accessing the Services. Myte will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this section.
15. Modifications to the Services: Myte reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services (or any part thereof) at any time and for any reason, with or without notice, and without any liability to you or to any third party for any claims, damages, costs, or losses resulting therefrom.

7. Repeat Infringer Policy: In accordance with the DMCA, trademark and other applicable law, Myte has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at Myte’s sole discretion, Users who are deemed to be repeat infringers.

8. WITHOUT LIMITING OR NEGATING ANY OTHER WAIVER OF LIABILITY OR ASSUMPTION OF RISK CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU AS A QUALIFIED CHARITY AGREE TO BE AND SHALL BE LIABLE TO MYTE FOR ANY AND ALL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY BY THE USER.
The Platform, Services or Third Party Providers may provide or facilitate links, tools, widgets, or other features that allow you to access other sites, services, and resources provided by third parties (collectively, “Third-Party Resources”). Myte has no control over such Third-Party Resources or any products, services, or content made available through or by such Third-Party Resources, or the business practices of the third parties providing such Third-Party Resources, and Myte is not responsible for and does not endorse such Third-Party Resources or the products, services, or content made available thereby. You acknowledge that Myte is not responsible or liable for the content, functions, accuracy, legality, appropriateness, or any other aspect of such Third-Party Resources.

And you agree that Myte is not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against any such third party.

ARBITRATION CLAUSE & CLASS ACTION WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
1. Arbitration; Class Action Waiver: YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US OR ANY OF OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR EMPLOYEES ACTING IN THEIR CAPACITY AS SUCH (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DISPUTE INVOLVES A THIRD PARTY) WITH REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISPUTES RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, OR RIGHTS OF PRIVACY OR PUBLICITY, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU AND WE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING OUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms of Service will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either of us to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (iv) file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual-property infringement claim.
2. The Process: Any arbitration between you and us will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms of Service. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Our current address for Notice is: Myte, LLC, 11300 N.Central Expy. Suite 612 Dallas, Texas 75243, United States. The Notice of Arbitration must: (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to work with you and make a good faith effort to resolve the claim directly, but if we are not successful within 60 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by either of us must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount which exceeds the last written settlement amount offered by us in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, we will pay to you the higher of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; or (b) US$10,000.00.
3. Fees: If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms of Service, we will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at an agreed-on location in Dallas, Texas, but if the claim is for US$10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a telephone hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county of your billing address. If the arbitration finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in the Federal Rule of Civil procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse us for all monies previously disbursed by us that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
4. No Class Actions: YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
5. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision: If we make any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to our address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to our address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with us will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
6. Enforceability: This Disputes Section shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision hereof shall be prohibited or invalid under any such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or nullifying the remainder of such provision or any other provisions of this Disputes Section.
7. Confidentiality: We each agree to keep the arbitration proceedings, all information exchanged between us, and any settlement offers confidential, unless otherwise required by law or requested by law enforcement or any court or governmental body. However, we may each disclose these matters, in confidence, to our respective accountants, auditors, attorneys, and insurance providers.
You agree that Myte, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or your access to the Services and remove and discard any Qualified Charity Content or data at any time and for any reason, with or without notice, and without any liability to you or to any third party for any claims, damages, costs, or losses resulting therefrom.
You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other User in connection with the Services and Myte will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. Myte reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any other User of the Services.
These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Myte and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and Myte with respect to the Services. You also may be subject to additional terms of service that may apply when you use affiliate or third-party services, third-party content, or third- party software. Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms of Service shall not be construed against the drafter. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and Myte agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Dallas County, Texas. The failure of Myte to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be (or are otherwise) invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based on or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of Myte, but Myte may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. If we fail to enforce any of our rights, that does not result in a waiver of that right. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via email or regular mail. The Services may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Platform. Myte may, at any time, assign our rights or delegate our obligations in these Terms of Service without notice to you in connection with a merger, acquisition, Qualified Charity or sale of equity or assets, or by operation of law or otherwise. Nothing in these Terms of Service shall prevent Myte from complying with the law. Myte shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war or threats of war, terrorism or threats of terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, governmental regulation or advisory, recognized health threats as determined by the World Health Qualified Charity or the Centers for Disease Control or local government authority or health agencies, strikes or shortages, or curtailment of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.
