Campaign & Gift Terms

1. What these terms cover

These Campaign & Gift Terms apply to every gift, donation, contribution, pledge, sponsorship or pre-order made to support World Wind Sports, whether made on our site (including the campaign and give pages), on Indiegogo, on GoFundMe, by direct payment, or otherwise (each a “Gift”), and to any perk, reward, recognition, seat, membership tier, discount, experience or item offered in return (each a “Perk”). They are part of our Terms, which include the disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity and dispute-resolution provisions that also apply here. Gifts are received by World Wind Sports.

2. What a gift is — and is not

A GIFT IS A VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION TO SUPPORT WWS. IT IS NOT AN INVESTMENT, LOAN, SECURITY OR PURCHASE OF ANY INTEREST. IT GIVES YOU NO EQUITY, OWNERSHIP, MEMBERSHIP INTEREST, PROFIT SHARE, REVENUE SHARE, VOTING OR GOVERNANCE RIGHT, OR RIGHT TO ANY RETURN OF FUNDS.

We decide how Gifts are used to pursue our mission. Descriptions of how funds may be used (for example, by chapter, spot or program) are good-faith plans, not restrictions or trusts, unless we expressly agree in a writing signed by an authorised officer that a Gift is restricted.

GIFTS ARE NOT TAX-DEDUCTIBLE UNLESS WWS EXPRESSLY STATES OTHERWISE IN WRITING. WORLD WIND SPORTS IS NOT A REGISTERED CHARITY UNLESS AND UNTIL IT STATES OTHERWISE IN WRITING. CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISER.

3. Perks: exactly as described, nothing more

Our only obligation in return for a Gift is to provide the Perk expressly described on the page, listing or campaign update where you chose it, at the time you gave, subject to these terms. We have no obligation to provide anything else, including anything mentioned in a video, social post, email, conversation or by a chapter organiser, volunteer or partner.

• Substitutions. If a Perk item, size, colour, venue or experience becomes unavailable or impractical, we may substitute an item or experience of equal or greater value, or, at our option, refund the Gift amount attributable to that Perk.
• Experiences and seats. Experiences (such as Wind Safari seats, weekenders, clinics and trips) are subject to wind and weather, availability, capacity, spot access, permits and the Waiver. Dates and locations may change. Travel, lodging, insurance and equipment are your responsibility unless the Perk expressly includes them. Experiences are personal and non-transferable unless the Perk says otherwise, and unused experiences expire at the end of the period stated, or twelve months after first offered if none is stated.
• Recognition. Name-on-wall, sponsor credits and similar recognition are shown as described and may be moderated; we may decline names that are offensive, misleading or infringing. Recognition does not mean WWS endorses you or your business.
• Chapter and spot sponsorships. Sponsorship recognises support; it does not give control over, rights in, or exclusivity at any chapter, spot or event unless stated in a written agreement signed by an authorised officer.
• Memberships and lifetime perks. “Lifetime” means for as long as WWS operates the relevant program, and is personal to you.
• Discounts and codes. Discount Perks have no cash value, cannot be combined unless stated, may carry an expiry, and are void where prohibited.
• Claiming. To receive a Perk you must provide accurate contact, size and shipping details and, for gifts made on another platform, proof of your gift when asked. If you do not respond within 90 days of our request, we may treat the Perk as declined without refund.

4. Delivery estimates

ALL DELIVERY DATES, SHIP DATES, LAUNCH DATES AND SCHEDULES ARE GOOD-FAITH ESTIMATES ONLY, NOT GUARANTEES.

Production, shipping, platform, supplier, weather and other delays happen. A delay does not entitle you to a refund or any other remedy, but we will post updates where a significant delay is expected. Physical Perks are fulfilled under the Shop Terms (shipping, customs and duties, address accuracy and defects), which apply as if the Perk were an order.

5. Indiegogo, GoFundMe, Stripe and other platforms

Gifts made on Indiegogo or GoFundMe, or processed by Stripe or another payment provider, are also subject to that platform’s terms, fees and policies, which govern how your payment is processed, held, charged and refunded. We do not control those platforms and are not responsible for their acts, fees, outages or decisions. For Indiegogo campaigns, whether funds are collected depends on the campaign’s funding type shown on Indiegogo.

6. Refunds and cancellations

Gifts are final and non-refundable, except: (a) where we cancel a Perk without substitution; (b) where we refuse or cannot accept your Gift; (c) for a duplicate charge or payment error that you report within 30 days; or (d) where a platform’s own rules or applicable law require a refund. Refunds go to the original payment method, less any non-refundable platform or processing fees where the law allows. Initiating a chargeback for a Gift you made and whose Perk has been or is being provided is a breach of these terms.

7. No other obligations

EXCEPT FOR THE PERK EXPRESSLY DESCRIBED FOR YOUR GIFT, WWS HAS NO OTHER OBLIGATION TO YOU ARISING FROM THE GIFT. CAMPAIGN GOALS, STRETCH GOALS, CHAPTER OPENINGS, PROGRAMS AND PLANS ARE ASPIRATIONS, NOT PROMISES. ANY OTHER PROMISE IS BINDING ONLY IF IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY AN AUTHORISED OFFICER OF World Wind Sports.

Our total liability relating to any Gift is limited to the amount of that Gift, as further limited by the Terms.

8. Gifts for someone else

If you give a Gift or Perk on behalf of, or for, another person, you confirm you may share their details with us, and the recipient must accept the Legal Terms (and the Waiver for any Activity) to use the Perk.
