Terms and Conditions

1. When you purchase a Charity Gift Card, you are making a donation to a Donor Advised Fund operated by TisBest Philanthropy, a charity recognized by the government as a charity under IRC 501(c)(3). A Charity Gift Card is not a typical “gift card” because a Charity Gift Card cannot be exchanged for goods or services. As provided by law, all money in our Donor Advised Fund is under the exclusive legal control of TisBest Philanthropy. When a Charity Gift Card recipient spends a Charity Gift Card, they are asking TisBest Philanthropy to donate the funds associated with that Charity Gift Card to the charity they select. When making such a donation TisBest transfers 100% of the face value of the card to the selected charity. We endeavor to follow the wishes expressed when Charity Gift Cards are spent, but the law does not require us to do so.

2. TisBest Philanthropy grants the purchaser of the Charity Gift Card a restricted license to use the TisBest Code shown on the Charity Gift Card as described in this paragraph. The purchaser of the Charity Gift Card may use the TisBest Code solely to make a one-time gift to another person, of the right to direct a sum of money equal to the face value of the Charity Gift Card, from the TisBest Philanthropy Donor Advised Fund, to a charity selected by the gift recipient. The TisBest Code may not be relicensed, nor may the initial license from purchaser to gift recipient be modified, amended, canceled or rescinded.

3. We reserve the right to add new charities to, or remove charities from, our list of Charities at any time. A Charity Gift Card holder may only choose among the charities shown on our list of Charities at the time the card is spent.

4. The transaction between a TisBest Charity Card purchaser and TisBest Philanthropy is complete when TisBest Philanthropy charges the credit card of the purchaser and emails a receipt to the email address provided by the purchaser. After a Charity Gift Card has been purchased, it cannot be canceled, refunded or exchanged.

5. The law prohibits you or anyone related to you from receiving more than incidental benefits from the charity to which your Charity Gift Card money is donated. Therefore, by agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, you are representing and warranting to us that neither you, nor anyone related to you by family or contract, will receive more than an incidental benefit as a result of funds donated through a Charity Gift Card.

6. Our policy is to transfer funds associated with a Gift Card to the selected charity in the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the card is spent. For example, if a card is spent in the first quarter of a year, we aim to transfer the funds associated with that card to the selected charity in the second quarter of that year. We may transfer funds sooner or later if circumstances dictate.

7. Charity Gift Cards do not expire.

8. The 501c3 nonprofit organizations shown on our list of Charities do not sponsor or endorse TisBest Philanthropy in any manner whatsoever. The names and logos shown are the property of their respective owners and are typically subject to tradename and trademark protection. TisBest claims no ownership or other rights in such names or marks.

9. Charities shown on TisBest may be invited to provide logos through the TisBest charity interface page. In the instance that a charity provides us with a logo, we agree to use the logo only next to the name of the identified charity in the list of charities shown on our website, and in the donation-confirmation email that is sent to the card purchaser and the card recipient after a card is spent to donate funds to the charity that has provided the logo. We agree not to show or use the logo provided in any other manner whatsoever. The license for TisBest to show the logo may be revoked at any time by the charity that provided the logo, either upon written notice to TisBest or by deleting the logo on the TisBest charity interface page; when a license is so revoked, we will cease using the logo within two (2) business days after the notice of revocation.

10. TisBest Philanthropy is a Washington state nonprofit corporation that operates exclusively in Washington state. Anyone purchasing or spending a TisBest Charity Gift Card or engaging in other transaction(s) with TisBest Philanthropy agrees that Washington law is applicable to such transaction(s) and that exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any lawsuit or other action against TisBest Philanthropy lies in King County, Washington.
