Welcome to Notice Nonprofits (“the Site,” “we,” “us,” “our”). By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Site.
1. About Notice Nonprofits
Notice Nonprofits is a personal project that spotlights Canadian registered charities and offers optional certificates, stickers, totes, and other items. We are not a registered charity, not affiliated with any featured nonprofit, and not an accreditation body.
2. Featured nonprofits
- Nonprofits featured on the Site are selected editorially. They pay nothing to be featured, and payment never influences which nonprofits we feature.
- We are independent of all featured nonprofits. Featuring a nonprofit is not an endorsement by them of us, or by us of every aspect of their work.
- Information about nonprofits is drawn from their published sources. We aim for accuracy but cannot guarantee that every figure is current or complete. Always verify with the nonprofit directly.
3. Certificates
- E-certificates are free. Physical copies and other items are optional and cost money.
- Certificates are personalized recognitions — not official accreditations, credentials, or verified records of hours or service. They should not be presented as official proof of volunteering, employment, or academic credit.
- Volunteer certificates are self-reported. We do not independently verify the information a customer provides.
- Certificates are for personal use only. You may print, share, and display your own certificate. You may not alter, forge, or sell certificates, or use them to misrepresent yourself.
4. Orders, payment, and delivery
- Paid items are sold through our shop (WooCommerce). Prices are in Canadian dollars unless stated otherwise.
- Payment is processed by third-party providers (e.g., Stripe, PayPal). We do not store full payment card details.
- Shipping: physical items ship within the timeframes stated on the product page. Delivery times are estimates and depend on Canada Post.
- Free digital certificates are emailed to the address provided at checkout, typically within the turnaround stated on the product page.
- Customs and duties for international orders are the customer’s responsibility.
5. Refunds and cancellations
- Because certificates and stickers are personalized/made to order, all sales are final once production or shipping has begun, except where required by law.
- If your item arrives damaged or incorrect, contact us within 14 days of delivery and we’ll make it right.
- Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have under applicable Canadian consumer protection law.
6. User submissions and “Submitting a nonprofit”
- If you tag us, submit a nonprofit, or send us content (“Submissions”), you confirm that the content is yours to share and is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
- You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to share, repost, and credit your Submissions (e.g., in roundups and on the Spotter Wall). We will credit you by your handle unless you ask us not to.
- We may decline or remove any Submission at our discretion — for example, if a nonprofit cannot be verified, or if content is inaccurate or inappropriate.
- Please only submit real, registered charities, and don’t submit personal information about other people without their consent.
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Site for unlawful purposes;
- Submit false, misleading, or defamatory content;
- Impersonate any person or organization;
- Interfere with the Site’s operation or security;
- Scrape, copy, or resell Site content without permission;
- Use our name, logo, or certificates to imply an official partnership or accreditation that doesn’t exist.
8. Intellectual property
The Site’s design, text, graphics, and certificate templates are owned by Notice Nonprofits (or used with permission from the respective nonprofits) and are protected by copyright. Nonprofit names and logos belong to those nonprofits and are used for identification and editorial purposes only.
9. Third-party links
The Site links to nonprofit websites and other third-party sites. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content, policies, or practices.
10. Privacy
Our collection and use of personal information (such as your name, email, and shipping address) is described in our Privacy Policy [link]. We use your information to fulfill orders, send certificates, and operate the Site.
11. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
- The Site and its content are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind.
- To the fullest extent permitted by law, Notice Nonprofits is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site or from reliance on information about featured nonprofits.
- Our total liability for any claim relating to a paid order is limited to the amount you paid for that order.
- Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect changes. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada, and the applicable federal laws of Canada.
