Events beyond our control
Law, courts and language
Donations
All appeal donations are subject to availability, and we reserve the right to refuse service to any company or individual.
Your donation represents an offer to purchase the appeal that you have specified, but it is not binding on us until we have approved it.
All donations made in response to a specific appeal will be closed and used only for that purpose. The following is an exception:
- If we are unable to use your donations in the appeal you requested, we will notify you. Because the appeal is currently unavailable, your donation will be used to fund a suitable replacement.
- If we raise more money than we expected for a campaign, appeal, or project. Any additional funds will be used to support similar projects and appeals.
- If we do not raise enough funds for an appeal to which you have donated, management will use their discretion to either add funds from general donations to complete the appeal or move donations from the inadequate fund to another similar fund.
- If an appeal appears on our sites but is not available, is incorrectly priced, or otherwise misstated, or we are unable to distribute it, we will apply your donation to a similar appeal.
- We will accept your donation by email shortly after we receive it, detailing the appeals to which you have donated. This email is sent out automatically.
- When we receive the full amount of the appeal into our bank account, we will accept your donation for an appeal and complete the contract between you and us.
- Visa Debit, Switch, Mastercard and Visa cards are all accepted. For online donations, we are unable to accept payment by cheque.
- We also gather and properly apply donations made through Islamic Quick Links, such as Fidya, Kaffarah, Zakat and Aqeeqah, which are limited by Shariah Criteria, with the management selecting the country based on overall considerations.
- Please contact our team by email, phone, or postal if you wish to cancel your donation before it is used for your requested appeal or project. For more information, please get in touch with us.
- We will honour your cancellation if an order has not been placed to distribute the aid.
- We cannot refund or cancel your donations if they have already been used.
Double Donation
Refund Policy
Please contact our team by email, phone, or postal if you want to cancel your donation before it is used for your requested appeal or project:
If an order to distribute the aid has not been placed, we will honour your cancellation and refund your entire payment. We do not provide refunds or cancellations if your donations have been used or if the order for the donation to be processed has been granted.
We will try to provide a full refund within 3 working days if your donation was made by accident, mistake, or computer error, as long as you notify us within 14 days. We cannot ensure a refund for any accident, mistake, or computer error reported to us after 14 days if we are unable to trace the error on our systems.
