Welcome to the website of Act Foundation Canada, a charitable foundation with a registered address at 474446 County Rd 11, Amaranth - L9W 0R5, Canada (CA). The website, its pages, and the services offered through it are developed and operated by the developer ACTFound on behalf of Act Foundation Canada.
These Terms of Service form a binding agreement between you and Act Foundation Canada. By accessing, browsing, or using this website in any way, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use the website or any of the services described on it.
These terms apply to all visitors, donors, volunteers, grant applicants, community groups, and partner organizations. We may update these terms from time to time, and your continued use of the website after a change takes effect means that you accept the updated terms.
You may use the website and its services only if you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement under the law of your country or province. By using the website you confirm that you meet this requirement.
Certain programs, grants, and volunteer roles may carry their own eligibility rules, such as a minimum age, a place of residence, or the status of your organization. These rules are described at the time you apply, and they form part of these terms. Where a program requires the involvement of a parent or guardian for a young participant, the parent or guardian must accept these terms on behalf of the young person.
We reserve the right to refuse service, decline an application, or end a relationship with any person or organization that misuses the website or acts against the charitable purpose of the foundation.
Act Foundation Canada provides information, community programs, and online tools through this website, including grant program details, donation information, program updates, contact services, and resources for community groups. Our services are provided free of charge to the public, unless a specific program states otherwise.
The website is intended to help you learn about our work, reach our team, apply for support, and take part in community activities. We aim to keep the information on the website accurate and up to date, but we cannot guarantee that every detail is always current. Official program details are confirmed in our written communications with you.
We may add, change, pause, or remove services at any time, and we are not required to provide any particular service to any person. Nothing on this website is an offer to enter into a contract, and no information on the website creates a legal obligation unless we have agreed to it in writing.
Our grant programs make funding available to community groups, schools, clubs, and non profit organizations that serve residents of our region. Grants are awarded at our sole discretion, based on the criteria published for each cycle and on the information provided in the application.
By submitting a grant application you confirm that the information you provide is true and complete, that you have authority to apply on behalf of your group, and that the funds, if awarded, will be used for the purposes described. Grant recipients must use the funds responsibly, keep reasonable records, and provide a short report on how the project progressed and what it achieved.
Submitting an application does not guarantee an award. Where we decline an application, we will give a clear reason where possible and encourage you to apply again in a future cycle. If a recipient uses grant funds for purposes other than those approved, we may ask for the funds to be returned and we may suspend future eligibility.
Donations to Act Foundation Canada support our community programs, grants, and the responsible running of the foundation. All donations are made voluntarily, and no donation obligates the foundation to any particular course of action or to the donor in any commercial sense.
When you make a donation, you confirm that you are entitled to make it and that it comes from lawful sources. Tax receipts are issued in accordance with the rules that apply to charitable giving in your jurisdiction, and you are responsible for providing accurate information so that receipts can be issued correctly.
We use donations in accordance with our published mission and with any direction you give at the time of your gift. Where a directed gift cannot be used as intended, we will contact you to agree on an alternative use or to return the funds where that is possible. We do not provide refunds once a donation has been received, except where the law requires it.
Some of our services may require you to register an account, for example to apply for grants, sign up as a volunteer, or receive program updates. Where an account is created, you are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for all activity that takes place under your account.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep that information up to date. You may not create an account using a false identity, and you may not create accounts on behalf of others without their permission.
We may suspend or close any account that is used improperly, that presents a security risk, or that we reasonably believe has been used in breach of these terms. If you believe your account has been used without your permission, contact us immediately so we can protect your information.
You agree to use the website and its services only for lawful purposes and in a way that respects the charitable mission of the foundation and the rights of other users. You must not misuse the website in any way.
We may suspend or restrict access to the website where we reasonably believe these rules have been broken. Where conduct is unlawful, we may also report it to the relevant authorities.
All content on this website, including text, graphics, logos, photographs, design, layout, and the overall look and feel of the site, is owned by Act Foundation Canada or licensed to us, and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
You may view, download, and share reasonable portions of the content for personal, non commercial, informational purposes, provided you keep any notices intact and do not suggest that the foundation endorses you. You must not reproduce, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the content for commercial purposes without our prior written permission.
The names Act Foundation Canada, ACTFOUND, and any related logos are identifiers of our organization and may not be used in a way that could confuse the public or imply a connection that does not exist.
We welcome your feedback, questions, and suggestions about our programs and services. When you share a suggestion, you grant us a non exclusive, royalty free, worldwide right to use it to improve our work, and you confirm that you have the right to share it.
Any content you submit to us, such as grant applications, project descriptions, or volunteer details, is used only for the purposes for which you provide it, in line with our Privacy Policy. We do not claim ownership of the content you provide, and you keep responsibility for its accuracy and lawfulness.
Where we publish stories or outcomes from funded projects, we seek the agreement of the people involved before sharing any personal details. If you prefer that your contribution is not featured publicly, tell us at the time, and we will respect your choice.
Our website and communications may include links to websites and services operated by third parties, including partner organizations, payment processors, and government portals. These links are provided for your convenience and do not mean that we endorse or control the third party.
When you use a third party service, the terms and privacy policy of that service apply. We are not responsible for the content, reliability, or security of third party sites, and we accept no liability for anything that happens while you use them.
Where our services rely on third party tools, such as payment processing for donations, those tools are used only in line with our agreements with the providers, and your use of them is governed by their own terms.
Your use of the website is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms and explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. You should read the Privacy Policy carefully before using the website.
By providing personal information to us, you agree to the practices described in the Privacy Policy. We handle your information responsibly, we do not sell it, and we limit its use to the purposes connected with our charitable work and your requests.
If there is any conflict between these terms and the Privacy Policy regarding the handling of personal information, the Privacy Policy will apply to that matter.
The website and its services are provided on an as is and as available basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non infringement.
We do not warrant that the website will be available at all times, free of errors, or secure from interference, nor do we warrant that the information on it is complete, accurate, or current. Any reliance you place on information from the website is at your own risk.
Nothing in these terms limits a warranty that cannot be excluded under the law of your jurisdiction. Where a consumer law in your country gives you rights that these terms cannot remove, those rights remain unaffected.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Act Foundation Canada and its directors, officers, staff, and volunteers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the website or our services.
This limitation covers losses such as lost data, lost opportunities, interruption of service, and any claim based on contract, negligence, or other legal theory. Our total liability for any claim related to the website or these terms will not exceed the total amount you have donated to us in the twelve months before the claim arose, if any.
Nothing in this section excludes or limits liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for any other liability that cannot be limited under the law of your jurisdiction.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Act Foundation Canada and its directors, officers, staff, and volunteers from and against any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, that arise out of or relate to your use of the website or your breach of these terms.
This duty covers claims arising from content you submit, your misuse of the services, your violation of the rights of another person, or your violation of any law or regulation. We will give you reasonable notice of any claim and allow you to take part in its defence where appropriate.
This indemnification obligation survives the end of your use of the website and the termination of these terms.
These terms remain in effect while you use the website or any of our services. You may stop using the website at any time, with or without notice, and no explanation is required.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the website or to any of our programs at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice. Where we take such action, we will do so fairly and, where possible, explain the reason.
Sections of these terms that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law, will continue to apply after your access ends.
These terms are governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada, without regard to conflict of law principles.
You agree that any legal action arising out of or related to these terms or your use of the website will be brought in the courts of Ontario, and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts, subject to any mandatory rules in your own jurisdiction that cannot be waived.
If you live in a jurisdiction where consumer protection law grants you rights that override this section, those rights remain available to you.
We hope that any question about these terms can be resolved through a friendly conversation. Before starting any formal process, we invite you to contact us directly so that we can understand your concern and work toward a fair solution.
If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it will be submitted to mediation before any legal proceedings are begun, unless the law in your jurisdiction provides otherwise. Mediation is conducted by a neutral mediator agreed by both parties, with the costs shared equally unless agreed differently.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent court relief to protect its rights or to stop a breach that cannot be undone.
We may revise these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services, in the law, or in how our organization works. When we make changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and draw attention to significant changes on our website.
Changes take effect when they are posted, unless a later effective date is stated. Your continued use of the website after changes take effect means that you accept the updated terms, except where the law requires a fresh consent.
If you do not agree with the updated terms, you should stop using the website. You may also contact us to ask about the latest version of these terms.
If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Where a provision can be read in more than one way, and one reading is valid while another is not, the valid reading will be preferred, so long as it reflects the reasonable intention of the parties.
The invalidity of a single provision will not affect the validity of the rest of these terms, which will remain binding on both you and Act Foundation Canada.
These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other written policies or program guides that we publish, make up the entire agreement between you and Act Foundation Canada regarding your use of the website and services.
This agreement replaces any earlier understandings, proposals, or agreements, whether written or spoken, about the same subject matter. The failure of either party to enforce a provision of these terms is not a waiver of that provision or of any other right.
You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these terms to any other person without our prior written consent. We may transfer our rights and obligations where needed to continue our charitable work, and we will give you notice where the law requires it.
If you have any questions about these terms, or if you would like to discuss any aspect of our work, you are welcome to contact Act Foundation Canada using the details below. Our team will respond to you promptly and honestly.
