3.16 Donation Process and Handling of Donations, and Contract Formation Between Campaign Creators and Donors
The platform L-Girl defines the donation process as the sequence from the promotion of a campaign on the platform by the campaign creator to the payment of a donation by a donor to support the advertised campaign. Donations are made in the form of monetary contributions, irrespective of the tax status of the campaign creator or their supported campaigns. The use of the donation is outlined in the campaign description on the L-Donations page.
All campaigns also pursue social purposes. Legally, the donation represents a relationship between the donor and the campaign creator.
The donor clicks the “donate for love” button on the campaign page. By pressing the integrated donation button and paying the specified amount, an independent contractual relationship (a conditional gift) is formed between the donor and the campaign creator, separate from the platform.
After pressing the donation button, the donor receives a donation confirmation email, which serves only as an acknowledgment of receipt.
3.17 Donations Supporting the Platform
For donations intended to support the platform, L-Girl.com acts as the recipient and accepts these donations in its account (see Section 10.2.7).
3.18 Handling of Donations
3.18.1 Donors can make payments to campaign creators in the form of donations.
3.18.2 The donation process on the platform is secure. Data is transmitted via an encrypted connection (SSL) and processed by the platform only in relation to the donation.
3.18.3 Donors are informed that their donation is final and non-refundable, except in regulated cases. Donors are not entitled to interest on funds held in the campaign account.
3.18.4 Refund Claims
Donors are entitled to a refund in the following cases:
- Campaign termination by the campaign creator or the platform (according to Sections 3.18.2 and 3.18.3).
- Suspicion of fraud.
If a campaign is terminated by the campaign creator (per Section 3.18.2) or by the platform (per Section 3.18.3), the campaign creator is obliged to refund the donations to the donors.
If the campaign creator terminates the campaign, they are solely responsible for informing the platform.
Refund regulations vary depending on the payment service provider:
a) Donations via Stripe:
If the payment has not yet been transferred from the campaign account (Stripe account) to the bank account, the campaign creator instructs Stripe, as per its payment service agreements, to refund the donation to the donor. The platform may act as the campaign creator’s messenger for this instruction.
If the donation has already been transferred to the bank account, the donor must contact the campaign creator directly for a refund. The platform will provide the donor with the campaign creator’s contact information upon request.
b) Donations via PayPal:
If the payment has not yet been withdrawn from the campaign account (PayPal account), the campaign creator instructs PayPal to refund the donation. The platform may act as the campaign creator’s messenger for this instruction.
If the funds have already been withdrawn, the donor must contact the campaign creator directly. The platform will provide the necessary contact information upon request.
c) Legal consequences remain unaffected.
3.19 Conditions for Payouts
a) Stripe:
The campaign creator instructs Stripe to transfer the funds to the bank account, provided there is no suspicion of fraud. The platform may act as the campaign creator’s messenger for this instruction.
b) PayPal:
The campaign creator instructs PayPal to transfer the funds to the campaign account. Direct expenditures from the campaign account are also possible.
c) Campaign creators are obligated to process payouts only for ongoing campaigns that meet platform regulations.
3.20 Anonymous Donations
Donors may choose to donate anonymously. Their name, email address, and payment details are collected for authentication but can remain undisclosed on the platform.
3.21 Platform Support Donations
Donors may contribute an additional amount to support the platform (L-Girl.com). These contributions are not tax-deductible.
