Terms of Service

RaiseMore (the "Service") is a free web tool operated by Crowdera ("Crowdera," "we," "us," or "our") at raisemore.org. These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Crowdera and govern your access to and use of the Service.

By accessing, browsing or using the Service — including by completing the questionnaire or viewing your results — you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy (available at raisemore.org/privacy). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

You represent that you are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction and, if you are using the Service on behalf of a nonprofit, campaign, organization or other entity, that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms; in that case "you" refers to both you and that entity.

RaiseMore is a free planning tool. You answer a short 7-step questionnaire about your organization and fundraising context, and the Service returns a fundraising capacity score (on a 0–100 scale), channel-by-channel revenue projections, a success-probability estimate, a pacing curve and a personalized action plan.

All outputs are produced by a fixed, deterministic algorithm. The Service does not use artificial intelligence, and it does not make external calls to generate your results — your scores are computed from the inputs you provide using predefined logic.

The Service is provided at no charge. We are not obligated to provide support, maintenance, updates or any particular level of availability, and we may offer, condition or withdraw features at our discretion. Nothing in the Service creates any advisory, fiduciary, agency, employment, partnership or professional-client relationship between you and Crowdera.

This section is important; please read it carefully. Every score, projection, probability, pacing curve, recommendation and action plan that RaiseMore produces is a DIRECTIONAL ESTIMATE intended solely for general planning and educational purposes.

The Service does NOT provide financial, investment, accounting, tax, legal, regulatory or professional fundraising advice, and nothing it outputs should be treated as such. It is not a substitute for the judgment of qualified professionals. You should consult your own advisors before making decisions that carry financial, legal, tax or compliance consequences.

Crowdera makes NO guarantee, representation or warranty about any outcome. In particular, your actual fundraising results, revenue, donor response, timeline or success may differ materially from any figure, score or probability the Service displays. A capacity score, revenue projection or success-probability estimate is not a prediction, promise or assurance that you will raise any amount or achieve any goal.

Results depend heavily on the accuracy and completeness of your inputs, on assumptions built into the algorithm, and on many factors outside our knowledge and control. You are solely responsible for how you interpret and act on the results, and you use them at your own risk.

The quality of your results depends entirely on the information you enter. You are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, currency and legality of all data you submit, including figures about your budget, fundraising goal, timeline, history, network and audience sizes, board, donor prospects, corporate access, planned channels, team, marketing budget and self-ratings.

You represent that you have the right to provide any information you submit and that doing so does not violate any law, contract or third party's rights (including privacy rights). If you input information about other individuals, you confirm you are permitted to share it with us for the purposes described in these Terms.

Because the Service applies a fixed algorithm to whatever you enter, inaccurate, incomplete or hypothetical inputs will produce inaccurate or misleading outputs. Crowdera is not responsible for results that are affected by the inputs you choose to provide.

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You are responsible for your own use of the Service and for any decisions or actions you or your organization take based on it.

You agree not to: (a) use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation; (b) submit content that is unlawful, infringing, fraudulent, defamatory, or that you lack the right to submit; (c) attempt to probe, scan, disrupt, overload or interfere with the Service or its underlying infrastructure; (d) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any systems, accounts or data; (e) reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or attempt to extract or reconstruct the scoring algorithm or its logic, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law; (f) use bots, automated scripts or other means to access the Service in a manner that imposes an unreasonable load; or (g) resell, sublicense or commercially exploit the Service or its outputs without our prior written permission.

We may, without notice and at our discretion, suspend, restrict or terminate your access to the Service if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or to protect the Service, other users or Crowdera.

THE SERVICE AND ALL OF ITS OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CROWDERA DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Without limiting the foregoing, Crowdera does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free; that any results, scores, projections or probabilities will be accurate, reliable, complete or suitable for your purposes; or that any defects will be corrected. Any material obtained through the Service is accessed at your own discretion and risk.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In that case, such warranties are limited to the minimum scope and duration permitted by applicable law.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CROWDERA AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DONATIONS, FUNDRAISING RESULTS, GOODWILL, DATA OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN PARTICULAR, AND WITHOUT LIMITATION, CROWDERA WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR YOUR ACTUAL FUNDRAISING RESULTS OR OUTCOMES, OR FOR ANY DECISION, ACTION OR INACTION YOU OR YOUR ORGANIZATION TAKE BASED ON ANY SCORE, PROJECTION, PROBABILITY, PACING CURVE, RECOMMENDATION OR OTHER OUTPUT OF THE SERVICE.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CROWDERA'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100). YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE AND THAT THIS ALLOCATION OF RISK IS A REASONABLE AND ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Crowdera and its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents and service providers, from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of or reliance on the Service or its outputs; (b) any information you submit through the Service; (c) any decision or action you or your organization take based on the Service; (d) your violation of these Terms or of any applicable law; or (e) your violation of any right of a third party.

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense of that claim.

The Service, including its scoring algorithm, software, text, design, graphics, logos, the names "RaiseMore" and "Crowdera," and all related content and materials, is owned by Crowdera or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property and other laws. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Crowdera grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service and to use the results it generates for you for your own internal planning and fundraising-management purposes. This license does not permit you to copy, modify, distribute, sell or lease any part of the Service, or to reverse engineer or extract the scoring algorithm, except as expressly permitted by these Terms or applicable law.

You retain ownership of the information you submit. You grant Crowdera a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, host, store, reproduce and process that information as necessary to operate, provide and improve the Service and as otherwise described in our Privacy Policy.

The Service may contain links to, or references to, third-party websites, tools, resources or services that are not owned or controlled by Crowdera. We provide these links for convenience only, and their inclusion does not imply endorsement.

Crowdera has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, policies, accuracy, availability or practices of any third-party site or service. Accessing them is at your own risk, and any dealings you have with third parties are solely between you and that third party.

Crowdera may modify, suspend, limit or discontinue the Service — in whole or in part, including any feature, output or scoring logic — at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you. Because the Service is free, we are under no obligation to maintain any particular functionality.

We may also update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and post the current version at raisemore.org. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you should stop using the Service.

To provide the Service, we collect the information you enter in the questionnaire (such as your name, work email, organization details, fundraising goal and context, challenges and aspirations) along with limited technical data. We use it to compute and display your results, to operate and improve the tool, and — only where you have opted in — to contact you with relevant Crowdera tools, services and support.

We do not sell your data. We use trusted processors to run the Service, including Vercel (hosting) and Supabase (database). You may unsubscribe from outreach at any time, and you may request access to or deletion of your data, by emailing hello@crowdera.org.

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy (raisemore.org/privacy), which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. You are responsible for ensuring you have any necessary rights or consents before submitting information about other people.

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Crowdera is established, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You and Crowdera agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of that jurisdiction, except where applicable law grants you a non-waivable right to bring proceedings elsewhere.

Any claim you may have arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms must be brought within the period allowed by applicable law; to the extent permitted, you agree that any such claim must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim arose, or it is permanently barred.

You agree to bring any claim in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Crowdera regarding the Service and supersede any prior understandings. If any provision is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. The disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, intellectual property and governing-law provisions survive any termination of these Terms or your use of the Service.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

If you have questions about these Terms or the Service, or if you wish to unsubscribe or request deletion of your data, please contact Crowdera at hello@crowdera.org.
