1. Use of the Service
g2g offers the Service to non-profit organizations (“NPOs”) which register with the g2g network to enable the NPO to create a listing describing the NPO and to input and maintain content on the Service, including volunteer opportunities, fundraising events, and in-kind donation needs. NPOs participate in g2g network in exchange for the opportunity to promote their organization via media and other Web Site partners of g2g. As with all Web sites, there are some basic rules that we require our users to follow, so as not to interfere with other users and not to adversely affect the functioning of the Service.
Each NPO should understand that, other than offering the potential for promoting the NPO’s listing, g2g has no affiliation with the NPO and does not engage or assist in any operational activities of the NPO, such as securing cash donations, screening volunteers or job applicant.
2. Registration
NPOs may register at any g2g network Center or web site. Each NPO must pass basic qualifications to participate. Each registration must include a current mailing and e-mail address for the NPO. g2g has the right to reject or rescind registrations for any reason.
g2g will use an NPO’s registration data only for g2g business-related activities, such as to communicate with the NPO about new features, to analyze NPO recruiting, or to improve the Service and/or g2g’s other offerings. g2g will not provide the NPO’s registration data to any unaffiliated third parties.
3. Listings
Each NPO agrees to contribute a minimum amount of content (“NPO Content”) and to update its listing with regular frequency. g2g controls the distribution of the NPO’s listing and may elect to publish or not publish, or to rescind the publication of, any listing in its sole discretion. g2g makes no guarantees about how or whether an NPO’s listing will present in the good2gether network or any other site.
4. g2g Badge
Each NPO may elect to include a g2g badge on its Web Site. The NPO may not transfer or make the badge available to any third party to use it on any other site. The badge will automatically be turned off upon any termination of an NPO’s listing.
5. Sponsorships
There is no charge to an NPO for the use of the Service unless the NPO decides to sell sponsorships on its listing. If an NPO decides to sell sponsorships, the NPO must provide a current and accurate billing email address and keep such address updated at all times.
NPOs have the right to sell up to 6 sponsorship positions on their listing. NPO agrees to share 35% of any sponsorship revenue it collects with g2g. All sponsors and sponsorship content must be in good taste and comply with these Terms of Use.
The NPO is free to decide the duration of any sponsorship (in increments of weeks, months or annually), but the NPO must charge a minimum sponsorship fee of $100 (regardless of duration of the sponsorship). Prior to publishing a sponsorship, the NPO must provide g2g with a current and accurate e-billing address and report to g2g the sponsorship amount and duration. g2g will track and bill the NPO electronically for all amounts due. The NPO must make all payments within 30 days of receipt of g2g’s electronic invoice. g2g reserves the right to terminate the NPO’s listing in the event of any overdue payment. g2g is not responsible for any representations or other statements made by the NPO to sponsors.
