Service Rules:
Use of Your Donation/ About the Causes.
The Offerings allow you to chose a non-profit organization (a ‘’Cause’’) listed on either the App or the Site, and direct a donation to the Cause with every purchase at participating brands such as retailers and others like coffee shops and restaurants (“Brand Partners”). Causes are listed on the Offerings at Beam’s discretion; however, we are not responsible for the activities of any Brand Partners or Cause. A charity must have the appropriate authorization, permit or license to operate as a charity, as required by the local laws of the territory in which it operates.
Beam does not guarantee that your donations will be used for any particular purpose and shall not be responsible for any dissatisfaction you may have regarding a Cause's use of any donation you may make through the Offerings or for any misuse or non-use of such donations by a Cause. Please note that recipient organizations reserve the right to use your donation for their general purposes in accordance with their practices and rules. Beam shall not be responsible for ensuring that funds are earmarked for a particular appeal.
Use of Plaid Inc.
Beam’s card-linking feature is powered by Plaid Inc. (“Plaid”), a company that provides technology to allow you to easily connect your bank account to Beam in order to make an impact with each purchase at a partner brand. If you elect to have Beam access information from third party accounts by providing access information to such third-party account, our service provider Plaid, will access such third-party accounts for the purposes of performing the services related to the Cause you selected. By providing the requisite access information to Beam, you grant Plaid permission and authority to access the relevant third party accounts, on your behalf or on behalf from the principal account holder, and retrieve the relevant information to make it available as part of the Offerings and agree to be bound by Plaid’s terms of use in addition to these Terms of Use. You are not permitted to provide Beam with any access information for any third-party accounts for which you are not the principal account holder unless you have the authority to act on behalf of the principal account holder. The information that you share is collected and protected exclusively by Plaid, and Beam has no access to it. For more information on what data is collected and how it is used please refer to our Privacy Policy: https://beamimpact.com/privacy-policy.
You agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited activities: (a) copying, distributing, or disclosing any part of the Offerings in any medium, including without limitation by any automated or non-automated ‘’scraping’’; (b) using any automated system, including without limitation ‘’robots,’’ ‘’spiders,’’ ‘’offline readers,’’ to access the Offerings in a manner that sends more request messages to the Beam servers than a human can reasonably produce in the same period of time by using a conventional on-line web browser; (c) attempting to interfere with, compromise the system integrity or security or decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running the Offerings; (d) taking any action that imposes, or may impose at our sole discretion an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; (e) uploading invalid data, viruses, worms, or other software agents through the Offerings; (f) collecting or harvesting any personal information from the Offerings; (g) using the Offerings for any commercial solicitation purposes; (h) impersonating another person or otherwise misinterpreting your affiliation with a person or entity, conducting fraud; (i) interfering with the proper working of the Offerings; (j) accessing any content on the Offerings through any technology or means other than those provided or authorized by the Offerings; or (k) bypassing the measures we may use to prevent or restrict use or copying of any content or enforce limitations on use of the Offerings on the content therein.
Beam may, without prior notice, change the Offerings; stop providing the Offerings or features of the Offerings to you or to users generally; or create usage limits for the Offerings. We may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend your access to the Offerings without notice and liability for any reason, including if in our sole determination you violate any provision of these Terms of Use, or for no reason. Upon termination for any reason or no reason, you continue to be bound by these Terms of Use.
Arbitration. For any dispute with Beam, you agree to first contact us at hi@beamimpact.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that Beam has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any Beam’s claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, ‘’Claims’’), by binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (‘’AAA’’) under the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes then in effect for the AAA, except as provided herein. The arbitration will be conducted in New York, New York unless you and Beam agree otherwise. Each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive infringement, misappropriation, or violation of that party’s data security, intellectual property rights, or other proprietary rights. YOU AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU AND BEAM ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU AND BEAM AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLANTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATORS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED.
