Charity Terms and Conditions
Important. You are about to subscribe your charity to the Charici platform and become a 'Charici Charity Member'. To do so you must read and agree to the Charity Terms and Conditions below. By clicking on 'Claim Profile' and creating an account, you have agreed to the following Terms and Conditions.
These Terms and Conditions relate to your Charity, 'The Charity', joining the Charici platform (www.charici.org) ('The Platform') where you control your own Charici profile page. We refer to ourselves as 'Charici'.
About Us
Charici is owned by APRINI Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (Company No. 12875284) with a registered office address at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, United Kingdom, WC2H 9JQ.
You can contact us at hello@charici.org.
In using The Platform, The Charity agrees to our Privacy Policy and General Terms and Conditions.
Charici is a web platform that holds a directory of all registered charities in England and Wales, searchable by the general public. Charity information is sourced from publicly available Charity Commission data under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Every charity can claim its profile for free and utilise its profile as a marketing tool. The information posted to the charity's profile page can be used by Charici to help promote the charity, its campaigns, and events. Charici endeavours to elevate charities, driving more support, donations and footfall to their cause.
The Charity
The Charity confirms that the person subscribing to Charici on behalf of The Charity is a Trustee and has permission from the majority of the other Trustees. The person is over 18 years of age.
The Charity must ensure its profile page is kept up to date. All content posted must comply with UK law. The Charity must have all necessary permissions, licences, and copyright for the content they post and must only use the English language on their profile page. Unauthorised external links are not allowed.
The Charity indemnifies and holds harmless Charici from any and all liability, costs, expenses, or damages (including legal costs on an indemnity basis) resulting from any misuse or breach of these Terms.
By uploading material to The Platform, The Charity agrees to allow the public to access and use it in accordance with copyright law. The Charity grants Charici a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use all uploaded material for promotional purposes. Charici reserves the right to remove content at its discretion. You agree that to use the Platform effectively, you need a good internet connection, a recent operating system, and a modern browser.
Subscription & Payments
When a charity claims its profile, it becomes a subscribing member. This is currently free. Although membership is free, Charici encourages a 'pay what you can' approach via the 'buy me a coffee' option found on the Home Page. This is optional and supports development, marketing, and contributes to our Grant Participation Fund.
Charici reserves the right to change subscription fees at any time with written notice.
Charici may terminate any subscription or charity profile at any time. Only charities registered with the Charity Commission are eligible. If a charity loses its registration, its profile will be taken down.
The Charity can terminate its subscription at any time via its dashboard. Doing so reverts the charity profile to its basic directory listing and deletes account data. The profile can be reclaimed later by re-subscribing.
Charici does not process any payments. This is managed by a third-party payment merchant.
Charity Suppliers
Charici may facilitate access to charity suppliers, which could offer discounted services. When available, these can be found in the charity dashboard. The Charity initiates contact via a contact form, after which Charici makes a referral. Charici is not involved beyond this point and does not pass on charity data to third parties.
Charici strives to ensure supplier quality but cannot guarantee regional availability.
Paid-For Services
Charici may offer optional add-on services, which are listed within the charity supplier database.
Grant Participation Fund
By subscribing, charity members are automatically enrolled in Charici's Grant Participation Fund.
Ten percent (10%) of each "Buy Me a Coffee" contribution received by Charici will be allocated to a designated grant fund. Once the grant fund reaches a total of £500, Charici will notify its active subscription members of the opportunity to apply for funding.
Eligible charities will be invited to submit an application in accordance with the grant criteria communicated at the time of notification. The grant will be awarded to the charity that, at Charici's sole discretion, best meets the stated grant specifications and eligibility requirements.
Charici reserves the right to amend, suspend, or withdraw the Grant Participation Programme at any time.
Communications and Newsletter
By creating an account, The Charity agrees to receive service and administrative communications from Charici. These communications are necessary for the performance of these Terms and may include information relating to The Charity's account, its Charici page, updates to the platform, changes to these Terms, or other important operational matters. Such communications may be sent by email, telephone, or post and are not marketing communications. The Charity should not opt out of receiving service communications while maintaining an active account.
Upon checking the Marketing Consent checkbox when subscribing, The Charity will also be subscribed to the Charici newsletter to receive updates and general information about the platform. Newsletter communications may contain updates, announcements, or promotional content. The Charity may opt out of receiving newsletters or other marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in those emails or by contacting Charici directly. Opting out of marketing communications will not affect the Charity's receipt of necessary service or administrative communications.
General
A person not party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any part of it.
These Terms do not create any partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship.
These Terms (and any non-contractual disputes) are governed by English law and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
No delay or failure by either party to exercise any right shall be deemed a waiver.
Charici may assign its rights and benefits under this Agreement at any time.
Charici may revise these Terms at any time and will notify The Charity. Continued use of The Platform constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
