| | | 2. Business Definition Shop to Raise Money is a business that enables the customer to purchase commercial goods online at a discount and raise money for the "CAUSE" of your choosing. The merchants pay Pristine Health a commission each time a purchaser utilizes this site to purchase goods online. The purchaser MUST begin at this site and click through to the online stores. We then split the commission with the CAUSE the purchaser elects. Commissions may vary among CAUSES as the commission will increase with longevity and merchandise purchased. The commissions vary and we receive the commission after a purchase is made and delivery accepted. The prices are the same as when you normally shop online. Contributions to charities are deductible for amount of fair market price. You are buying from merchants at the same prices as you would at a regular store, so contributions cannot be deducted. Revenue for your cause is subject to Shop to Raise Money receiving referral fees from the merchants for which Shop to Raise Money has agreements. The amount is subject to the Shop to Raise Money policy at the time of purchase. Shop to Raise Money is not responsible for referral fees to users that are not obtained from merchants for any reason. Returns are subject to the merchant’s policies as we have no control and are not responsible for them. Shop to Raise Money attempts to partner with sites with favorable return policies. A commission will not be earned if you return the item. Organizations, schools, etc. can sign up to have stores created for them. Shop to Raise Money reserves the right to start with a certain number of merchants and add to them as the amount earned reaches a certain point.
There are some stores that can be linked directly (Example: Pristine Web Services, Onetravel.com) meaning you can go straight to that online store and get credit for your cause. Many stores such as Jcrew, this site must be viewed first, then a purchase must be made. Some stores have a cookie for certain period whereby if you return to the store within for example, 15 days, then a referral fee is still earned. Unless otherwise stated, Shop to Raise Money recommends coming to this site first each time you plan to make a purchase and raise money. reserves the right to select which charities/organizations will become involved as a partner.
