- Donations are generally non-refundable, though we review refund requests made promptly and in good faith.

1Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the TEKCHILLS Foundation website ("the Site"), making a donation, submitting a form, or otherwise engaging with our programs, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please discontinue use of the Site.
2Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, or have the involvement of a parent or legal guardian, to make a donation or enter into any agreement through this Site. By submitting payment information, you confirm that you are legally authorized to use the payment method provided.
3Use of Our Website
You agree to use this Site only for lawful purposes. You must not:
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site, its systems, or related networks.
- Introduce viruses, malware, or any other harmful code.
- Use automated systems (bots, scrapers) to extract data without our written permission.
- Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information through any form on this Site, including donation or application forms.
- Use the Site to harass, threaten, or harm any person, including our staff, volunteers, or the communities we serve.
We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access for anyone who violates these terms.
4Donations and Payments
All donations made through this Site are processed via PayPal. TEKCHILLS does not collect, see, or store your card or payment account details directly — these are handled entirely by PayPal under its own terms and security standards.
- Refunds: Donations are generally considered final. If you believe a donation was made in error (e.g., duplicate charge, incorrect amount), contact us within 14 days and we will review the request in good faith.
- Recurring donations: Monthly donations can be cancelled at any time through your PayPal account, or by contacting us directly, and will take effect from the next billing cycle.
- Tax deductibility: The tax-deductible status of a donation depends on your country of residence and applicable tax law. We recommend consulting your own tax advisor regarding the deductibility of any contribution.
- Receipts: A confirmation of your donation will be sent to the email address provided at the time of giving.
5Volunteering, Advisory, and Partnership Engagements
Submitting an application to volunteer, serve on our Advisory Board, provide pro bono consulting, or partner with TEKCHILLS through this Site does not, by itself, create any binding obligation, employment relationship, or guarantee of engagement. Any formal arrangement will be governed by a separate written agreement between you and TEKCHILLS Foundation.
All individuals engaging directly with children or vulnerable adults through TEKCHILLS programs are additionally bound by our Safeguarding Policy.
6Intellectual Property
All content on this Site, including text, images, logos, graphics, and the TEKCHILLS name and brand - is the property of TEKCHILLS Foundation or used with permission, and is protected by applicable copyright and trademark law. You may not reproduce, distribute, or use our branding or content for commercial purposes without our prior written consent.
7Third-Party Links and Services
This Site may contain links to third-party websites or rely on third-party services (such as PayPal for payments). We do not control and are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of these third parties. Use of any third-party service is subject to that provider's own terms.
8Disclaimer of Warranties
This Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We make reasonable efforts to keep information about our programs, impact, and finances accurate and current, but we do not guarantee that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or entirely free of inaccuracies.
9Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, TEKCHILLS Foundation, its board, staff, and volunteers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this Site or participation in our programs, except where such liability cannot be excluded under applicable law.
10Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless TEKCHILLS Foundation and its representatives from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your misuse of the Site or violation of these Terms.
11Termination of Access
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Site, without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent activity, or posed a risk to TEKCHILLS, its staff, or the communities we serve.
12Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Ghana, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or use of the Site will first be addressed through good-faith direct communication between the parties before pursuing formal legal action.
Have this clause confirmed by a lawyer, particularly if TEKCHILLS regularly receives donations or engagement from donors in other countries - cross-border disputes can raise jurisdiction questions worth addressing explicitly.
13Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
