General terms governing access to and use of the Kominote platform

Website: https://mykominote.com

Support: support@kominotetechnologies.com

These terms apply to Kominote services where the relevant feature is available. Applicable laws and mandatory rights take precedence. Read together with the Terms of Service and applicable activity-specific agreements.

Acceptance and policy hierarchy

By creating an account, accessing a feature that requires affirmative consent, or using Kominote after receiving legally sufficient notice, you agree to these Terms and the applicable supplemental policies linked at the point of action. Where supplemental terms govern a particular activity, they supplement these Terms; in case of conflict, the more specific terms control for that activity, subject to applicable law. Account creation requires an unchecked affirmative agreement control. Separate acceptance is required for fundraiser organizers, sellers, service providers, and other regulated activities as specified.

Nature of the platform

Kominote provides technology for discovery, community interaction, product listings and purchases, professional-service bookings and quotes, organization participation, community projects, and eligible fundraising. Except where explicitly identified in writing as the contracting provider, Kominote is not the seller, employer, healthcare provider, attorney, fundraising beneficiary, trustee, fiduciary, charitable organization, or guarantor of another user's representations or performance. Platform verification is limited to the checks described and is not an endorsement or guarantee.

Eligibility and identity

Users must have legal capacity to contract. Accounts and activities involving fundraising, payouts, sales, professional services, or organization administration require an adult authorized to act for the relevant party, unless an expressly supported legally compliant alternative applies. Users must supply truthful, current information, maintain account security, and promptly report unauthorized use. Kominote may require identity, business, beneficial-ownership, licensing, charity-registration, sanctions, tax, and payment-provider verification.

Roles and authority

A user may have member, buyer, seller, professional, organization, and other roles, but each role is separately authorized. Creating an organization does not automatically confer platform-wide administrator authority. Organization administrators warrant that they have authority to represent the organization, accept applicable terms, manage members, and submit materials. An individual must not register another organization without authorization.

User-generated content and rights

Users are responsible for the legality, accuracy, consent, and intellectual-property rights of posts, photos, testimonials, fundraisers, listings, and messages. Users retain ownership of their content but grant Kominote a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, format, distribute, and use submitted content as reasonably needed to operate and promote the relevant platform features, subject to privacy settings and applicable law. Users must not post children's identifiable photos without appropriate authority or consent, or disclose sensitive beneficiary details unnecessarily.

Commerce, bookings, donations, and payments

Transactions may be processed by regulated third parties subject to their separate terms. Prices, taxes, shipping, buyer fees, seller/provider fees, processing costs, and any currency conversion must be presented as applicable. A successful charge does not guarantee immediate payout. Refunds and cancellations follow applicable policy and non-waivable consumer rights. Kominote's fundraising platform fee is currently 0%; independent processor costs may apply. Product and professional-service fees are separate and disclosed at checkout or seller/provider onboarding.

Prohibited conduct

No fraud, fundraising misrepresentation, embezzlement, misleading beneficiary claims, impersonation, prohibited goods or services, exploitation or trafficking, harassment, malware, spam, fake reviews, payment evasion, unauthorized data collection, unlawful political/charitable solicitation, or off-platform circumvention intended to evade disclosed fees. No claim of tax deductibility without documented eligibility.

Enforcement and preservation

Kominote may investigate credible complaints, remove content, pause fundraising, suspend accounts, restrict transactions, seek verification, preserve relevant records, or refer suspected illegal activity to providers or authorities as lawful and appropriate. Holds and refunds depend on the payment provider, contractual rights, applicable law, and the actual location of funds. Kominote does not promise it can retrieve funds already disbursed.

Disclaimers and limitations

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Kominote provides the platform on an as-available basis without guaranteeing uninterrupted access, the accuracy of third-party claims, fundraiser outcomes, seller performance, or project completion. Kominote is not responsible solely because a third-party fundraiser misuses donations, but this does not exclude responsibility for Kominote's own unlawful conduct, fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or other non-waivable duties.

Changes, termination, disputes

Material changes will be communicated in a legally appropriate way, and renewed affirmative acceptance will be required where appropriate. Users may request account closure subject to legal record-retention obligations and pending transactions. Report problems to support@kominotetechnologies.com. Nothing in these Terms removes statutory consumer or privacy rights.

Updates and contact

We may update this policy prospectively, with legally required notice or renewed consent where applicable. Questions and reports: support@kominotetechnologies.com.
