ISHVINGO replaces the traditional charity method of monetary donations with product donation, thus building trust and transparency for Donors. ISHVINGO acts as a platform to allow the Beneficiaries to put up and share their Campaigns to raise support for the Materials required by them. ISHVINGO is facilitating a connection between Donors and the Trust, so that Donors can direct their donation towards Materials to be ultimately provided to the Beneficiaries as per their requirements. The Donor shall make his/her donation through the payment channels on the Platform. These payments shall be directed to the respective Trust intending to provide such Material to the Beneficiaries. The Donors shall, at their sole discretion, shall select the Campaign of their choice towards which the Materials they select will be supplied.
Donors shall be entitled to choose the Campaigns that the Donors wish to support. The Donor shall then select the Materials he/she/they wish to entrust to the Trust to donate and make donations to the Trust for the amount set out on the Platform. The Trust shall purchase the Materials and supply and deliver them to the Beneficiaries of the Campaign selected by the Donor. It is clarified that the purchase of Materials by the Trust will be based on the principle of utmost good faith. The Trust shall purchase and donate the Materials selected by the Donor to the selected Campaign. However, if for any unavoidable reason, such as shortage of goods, change in the requirement of the Beneficiaries, limited supply etc. the Materials selected by the Donors are unavailable or not required by the Campaign, the Trust shall purchase Materials of the same value as the Materials selected by the Donor and provide it to the Campaign selected by the Donor. For the avoidance of doubt, it is clarified that the Trust shall only be entitled to enforce discretion on the type of Material supplied and shall at no point in time alter the choice of Campaign selected by the Donor. However, if donor selects monthly donation option on checkout page or donate through monthly giving portal or through a specific event page, the trust has all rights on spending that money on campaigns related to that select cause or event.
We perform a prima facie verification of the Campaigns stated objectives at our discretion. However, you understand, hereby acknowledge and agree that neither Ishvingo nor the Trusts conduct any detailed and in-depth checks on the veracity and genuineness of the Campaigns put up by the Beneficiaries. Thus, Ishvingo and/or the Trusts makes no representation with respect to the genuineness and information of the Beneficiaries and/or the Campaign and shall have no liability to any party in relation to any transactions undertaken between the Donor, Trust and Campaign/Beneficiary.
