1. About DonorSeek

DonorSeek is operated by Donor Seek Ltd, a company registered in New Zealand (“we”, “us”, or “our”). We provide two software-as-a-service applications:

  • DonorSeek for Charities — a platform for charities to manage donors, record donations, and generate and distribute donation receipts.
  • DonorSeek for Donors — a platform for individual donors to collect and manage their charitable donation receipts and generate tax credit summaries.

2. Your Agreement

By creating an account or using our services, you confirm that:

  • You are at least 18 years of age, or are accessing the service under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these terms.
  • If you are agreeing on behalf of an organisation, you have authority to bind that organisation to these terms.
  • You have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Notice.

3. Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorised use of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage resulting from your failure to protect your credentials.

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating your account and to keep this information up to date.

7. Tax Information Disclaimer

DonorSeek is a record-keeping and convenience tool. Tax credit summaries and calculations generated by the service are provided as a convenience only. They do not constitute tax advice. You should verify all information with a qualified tax professional or directly with Inland Revenue before submitting any tax claim.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by New Zealand law, Donor Seek Ltd is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages. Our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the total amounts paid by you in the 12 months preceding the claim, or NZ$100 if you are a free-tier user.

11. Termination

You may close your account at any time from your account settings. We may suspend or terminate your account if we believe you have breached these terms. On termination, you may export your data before closure.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or through the application. Continued use of DonorSeek after changes constitutes your acceptance.
