#BlessOurHeroes is a social fundraising campaign with an associated website (www.blessourheroes.org, the “Website”) operated by Telbee Group Ltd (20 Exhibition House Addison Bridge Place, London, England, W14 8XP, "We, Telbee") with the aim of raising funds for the National Emergencies Trust (nationalemergenciestrust.org.uk, charity number 1182809).
We receive no fees for operating #BlessOurHeroes, and handle no pledges/donations ourselves.
To contact us, please email boh@telbee.io.
Please read these terms carefully before submitting a pledge/donation on our Website as they affect your legal rights and obligations. By submitting a pledge/donation, you confirm that you accept these terms and agree to comply with them.
YOUR PLEDGE
You agree to donate the amount of money you specified on the Website (the"Pledge") to charity the National Emergencies Trust as part of the #BlessOurHeroes campaign.
The Pledge may be presented by #BlessOurHeroes as a pledge against the target number of “Blessings” (audio recordings received on the Website, plus associated data including but not limited to a display name and tags) that you specified alongside the Pledge (the "Target") for the purposes of creating publicity around the Pledge and the #BlessOurHeroes campaign so as to encourage more blessings to be submitted to maximise the positivity and goodwill generated for our frontline workers, and funds raised for the National Emergencies Trust.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Pledge is non-refundable and will be transferred to the National Emergencies Trust whether or not the target number of blessings is reached. We do not take any commission or fees for your Pledge.
If you made a “Super Pledge” on the Website you entered the Target number of Blessings below “Target Blessings:” and the Pledge in pounds sterling is equal to the Target number of Blessings (the Pledge is £1 per Blessing).
If you made a “Boost Pledge”, on the Website you entered the Pledge in pounds sterling below “I / we will donate:” and the Target number of Blessings below “When this Target is reached”.
Telbee recorded the Target and Pledge amounts when you pressed “Submit your Pledge”.
HOLDING YOUR PLEDGE IN ESCROW
The Pledge will be handled and held in escrow by Shieldpay before being transferred to the National Emergencies Trust. We are not receiving, storing or distributing any funds directly.
Shieldpay are a leader in protected payments. You agree that for paying the Pledge you will be bound by Shieldpay's terms and conditions at https://www.shieldpay.com/europe/legal, and will complete reasonable administrative requirements including those referenced in this agreement.
As part of Shieldpay’s fraud controls they will perform some checks and may request to verify your identity via a sign-up invitation email, unless you’re already registered with them. All personal and payment information you submit to Shieldpay will be stored securely and encrypted compliant with PCI Standards.
Your identity for the purposes of this agreement is that verified by Shieldpay.
After Shieldpay has completed these checks, you will receive a payment invitation email from them with instructions to transfer the Pledge to Shieldpay.
