Terms Of Use

Welcome to Godparents.in, a registered non-profit trust. This agreement is a contract between you and Godparents.in and governs all transactions between you and Godparents.in, as well as your use of the Godparents.in website. Before you register with Godparents.in, you must read and accept all of the terms and conditions in, and linked to, this agreement, including the Privacy Policy

1. The Process

Godparents.in is a portal website, which enables you to donate to various NGOs such that the ultimate beneficiary of your donation, a child, is chosen by you. Godparents.in is only a “facilitator” of the process and functions only to connect you to an underprivileged child through a caretaking NGO partner. By using this Website, you hereby acknowledge and agree that Godparents.in makes no representation, warranty, covenant or guarantee about the usage of your donation by the recipient NGO.

1.1 Posting of children profiles and Usage of funds. Partner NGOs are solely responsible for screening and sourcing each Child, posting “Children Profiles” for donations on the Website and the usage of Donations/Funds, and Godparents.in (a) expressly disclaims any responsibility to screen or source any Child or any Partner NGO or monitor the usage of Donations/Funds by the Partner NGO(s) for the Children, and (b) shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to such screening or selection of Children or Partner NGOs and the usage of Donations/Funds by the Partner NGO(s) for the Children, and you shall hold Godparents.in harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from such screenings, selections and usage of Donations/Funds by the Partner NGO(s) for the Children.

1.2 Donation Disbursement. You understand that Donations are not made directly to Children and that Godparents.in identifies and selects existing organizations (each, a "Partner NGO" and, collectively, "Partner NGOs") that work in low-income communities and have a stated mission to reduce poverty by creating educational/learning opportunities for children and/or providing other services as are considered necessary for overall development of a child. Any Donation made by you will be disbursed to Partner NGO for provision of services, as agreed between you and the NGO, to the child chosen by you. Godparents.in serves as a facilitator in the process and aggregates funds from multiple Donors via the Website and passes 94% of  these funds to the Partner NGO for provision of services, as agreed between various Donors and the NGO, to the children chosen by Donors on the Website. The remaining 6% shall be used to cover the charges of Payment Gateway, and the operational costs of Godparents.in.

A Partner NGO may also voluntarily choose to pre-fund a child in the short-term from its own funds in anticipation of receiving your Donation, to help reduce the time the Child needs to wait until a Donation is received on the Website.

1.3 Tax Benefit. You understand that Godparents.in is only a “facilitator” of your donation to an NGO, and that a receipt for tax benefit purpose will be sent to you directly by the recipient NGO after the funds have been disbursed to the recipient NGO. Godparents.in will strive to ensure that the NGOs send tax exemption certificates to the donors within reasonable time limits. Godparents.in shall exert reasonable influence at its command, including withdrawal of non-compliant NGOs from the website, if, in its opinion, the situation merits such action. However, Godparents.in is indemnified by donors on this site, from any liabilities arising out of any kind of non-compliance by the NGOs. You understand that only Indian tax-payers are entitled to tax benefits for any donations made through Godparents.in

1.4 Your Godparents.in Account. When you register on Godparents.in, you create a Godparents.in account that allows you to interact with the website and use Godparents.in.
