Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the NW Peak Fundraising platform and services operated by NW Peak Fundraising and Consulting LLC, an Oregon limited liability company.
Platform Access
Access to the NW Peak platform is arranged directly with NW Peak. There is no separate license fee or setup fee. NW Peak's compensation is the platform fee on donations described below. Engagement terms are provided in writing before any commitment.
Platform Fees
A 6% platform fee is applied to all donations processed through the platform. This fee covers payment infrastructure, donor-side disclosure, compliance, platform development, and operator-led support. Stripe's payment processing fee (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) is charged separately by Stripe at cost. At checkout, donors are given the option — pre-selected — to cover both fees; when they do, the school receives 100% of the donation. Example: on a $100 donation where the donor covers the fees, the school receives the full $100; where the fees are not covered, the school receives approximately $91.00.
School Responsibilities
Schools are responsible for obtaining appropriate consent from athletes, parents, and guardians before creating athlete accounts. Schools must comply with FERPA and applicable state student privacy laws. Schools are responsible for the accuracy of program and athlete information entered into the platform.
Prohibited Use
You may not use the platform for any unlawful purpose, to harass or harm others, to submit false information, or to attempt to access other users' accounts. Violations may result in immediate termination of platform access without refund.
Payouts
Schools receive fundraising proceeds via Stripe Connect direct deposit after campaign closure and standard Stripe processing periods. NW Peak is not responsible for delays caused by Stripe or banking institutions.
Limitation of Liability
NW Peak's liability to any school or user is limited to the total fees paid in the 12 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
Intellectual Property
The NW Peak platform, P.E.A.K. System methodology, manuals, and all related materials are the intellectual property of NW Peak Fundraising and Consulting LLC. Use of the platform grants use rights only — not ownership.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by Oregon law. Disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Oregon, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in Oregon courts.
