2. REGISTRATION PROCEDURE AND ACCEPTANCE OF CONDITIONS
2.1. Reading and accepting the terms and conditions - User registration
If you wish to register on the platform as a registered user and create an account, you will need to provide us with the information requested, which will always be relevant for the effective provision of the service.
To access and use the services of 3warnings, the NGO User must provide the following information:
- Email address used for registration, which must be a Google account;
- Complete address of the NGO’s website, which will be published on the website and in the 3warnings app, so that users can access the website;
- Country in which the NGO is registered, information that may be published in the app and on the web as additional information for users and that will also be used so that 3warnings can verify that the organization exists and is properly registered;
- Complete web address of the official organization in which the NGO is registered, so that, again, the project owner can verify that the NGO is real. It could also be requested and the NGO user would provide, as far as possible, the complete link of the official list in which the NGO appears, a link that will be made public on the 3warnings website and in the app for users to access, if they wish.
- The NGO’s logo, which must be a square image of less than 1 MB capacity, in .png format, with a transparent background, so that it can appear correctly in the app’s listing.
- To prove that you really represent the NGO you wish to register, you must create a file in the root of the NGO’s website domain, as detailed in the registration process.
2.2. Acceptance of the transaction and these conditions by the registered user
In accordance with the provisions of Article 23 of Law 34/2002, of July 11, Services of the Information Society and Electronic Commerce, as a registered user, confirmation of acceptance of these terms and conditions will be made by checking the box “I accept the terms and conditions” that will appear before you proceed to finalize the registration on our platform.
By virtue of the above, you agree to become an NGO User of our platform, provided that you exceed the stipulations required in the next point of the text, that is, the verification by 3warnings that, indeed, is a true NGO.
2.3. Checks
Your registration in our system as an NGO User is not automatic after following the previous steps, nor will it be valid immediately. That is, 3warnings will make the appropriate checks to ensure that your NGO is real, that it is registered as such in the relevant records of the corresponding official bodies and that the information indicated is that which is required.
Thus, 3warnings will be able to contact the person who has registered the NGO in the web platform through the contact email, to solve the problems, raise doubts or request the information and documents that need to be solved or completed.
Also, you can obtain information through the Internet and other useful sources about the NGO, its objectives, its activity, its reputation and any other information necessary for the purposes of the project.
3warnings will only accept into the program non-governmental organizations whose objectives are compatible with the ethics and values of this project, consisting of improving the life of the world. 3warnings therefore reserves the right to admit applicant NGOs and may reject applications for the reasons it deems appropriate, at its sole discretion.
To let NGOs know whether they have been accepted into the project or not, 3warnings will send an email to the email address provided. In the case of rejection, the reasons will be explained in that e-mail.
NGOs can check if they have been accepted or rejected in their Control Panel. If it has been rejected, the reason will be indicated.
2.4. User’s responsibilities at this time
- The User guarantees under his own responsibility the accuracy of the information provided, expressly exempting 3warnings from the consequences and damages that the inaccuracy of the information may cause to third parties.
- The owner of this platform assumes the obligation to verify the identity of users who register on the website as NGOs. However, the holder will not be responsible in any case when there is a case of usurpation or impersonation of the User, as well as in the case that some false information is indicated that is impossible to verify or check by the platform in a reasonable manner and proportionate to its resources or mechanisms. Thus, the natural person who registers on the platform acting on behalf of the NGO to which he or she registers, confirms that he or she has the power of attorney necessary to act on behalf of the entity he or she represents for the formalization of legal transactions, exempting 3warnings from the responsibilities that may arise if that person is not duly empowered to accept these terms and conditions and, in general, does not have the power of attorney necessary to operate on this platform.
- Taking this into account, 3warnings reserves the right to reject any registration request whose content does not fit the purposes of this platform, so it is up to the user to ensure that their registration is consistent with the purpose of this platform, as well as not violate any of the registration rules that are required.
- The Google account with which the User accesses our platform is totally personal and non-transferable, managed solely and expressly by the User. Thus, the user is responsible to 3warnings and third parties, for the proper use and non-transfer or disclosure to third parties, both individuals and legal entities other than themselves or persons expressly authorized by them.
- In the case of any loss or theft of access codes, unauthorized use of the website or codes, as well as any violation of security of the same that has come to the attention of the user, the user is obliged to notify 3warnings immediately.
2.5. Meaning of the acceptance of these terms and conditions
The acceptance of these conditions means:
- That you may operate within the platform as an NGO User, use the enabled functionalities and be a recipient of the relevant donations, always following the guidelines established in these conditions and on the platform.
- That you agree to comply with these conditions and respect them under your own responsibility.
In addition, we inform you that, for legal reasons, we have the confirmation that you have made at the time of acceptance of our conditions by validating or “clicking” at the time of registration; so we are certain about when you have accepted our conditions.
3. SERVICES WE OFFER
As indicated in point 1, the main service that we offer from 3warnings and object of the present platform is the instant messaging service where, in addition, ads are published.
The services we offer, in particular, to NGO users are those of being beneficiaries of the contributions or donations made by 3warnings, being these entities the recipients of the donations. Therefore, NGO users can use this platform to promote their organizations and obtain donations for them.
4. DONATIONS BASED ON SERVICES OFFERED
4.1. Operation in general
3warnings will donate most of its profits to NGO Users. That is, 3warnings establishes, at its sole discretion, the percentage of profits that goes to donations in each quarter, according to the calculation explained in section 4.2. These amounts will always be derived from the benefits produced by the advertisements shown in the 3warnings app, the subscription messages sent by the advertisers, and the merchandising offered on our website.
If 3warnings or its owner were to engage in other activities outside of what is offered through these platforms, it reserves the right not to allocate its income to what is established in these conditions.
To make donations, 3warnings uses the payment platform TransferWise, which provides the email address of the Google account with which your NGO has registered, in order to be able to receive the corresponding donations or grants.
By registering on our platform as an NGO User, we understand that your NGO understands and accepts these rules of distribution of donations.
4.2. How we distribute the donations
At 3warnings we believe that the way to address these global problems is to involve everyone. That is why it is the users of the application who decide which NGOs to donate to, through their votes.
These users can vote for up to 5 of their favorite NGOs from among those registered. At the end of each quarter, the number of votes obtained by each NGO is calculated and the donations are awarded accordingly.
4.2.1 Advertising credits invoiced and consumed
Before entering into the calculation of donations, it is important to know the difference between advertising credits invoiced and consumed.
Advertising users buy advertising credits from us, which are spent as their ads are shown in the app. The billed credits are the credits bought from us by our advertisers and the consumed credits are the credits spent when printing the ads.
Our donations are calculated on the basis of credits consumed, not on those invoiced, so as to avoid situations in which an advertising User requests the return of his credits and we cannot pay for them because they have been donated.
4.2.2 Calculation of donations
At 3warnings we calculate donations according to the following formula:
-
We obtain the advertising credits that have been consumed in the quarter
-
We add the income from sending messages from advertising users to their subscribers. The sending of messages to subscribers is free for NGOs, but is paid for by the Users advertisers.
-
We add the income from merchandising
-
We subtract the expenses and taxes for that quarter
-
We calculate 80% of that amount, and get the total donations for the quarter. 3warnings reserves the right to vary this percentage, but commits to always be at least 80%.
4.2.3 Distribution of Donations
Donations are distributed in proportion to the votes obtained by each NGO. If an NGO obtains 10% of the total votes in a quarter, it will obtain 10% of the total donations for that quarter. The calculation will be made with the votes corresponding to the last day of the quarter.
4.2.4 What happens to unused advertising credits?
With respect to the remaining advertising credits, which have not been consumed at the end of a quarter, in the event that the Advertising Users request a refund, the corresponding amounts will be returned immediately, provided that the request is made within the first THIRTY (30) days after purchase.
In the event that a refund is not requested, the reamining advertising credits will form part of the donations of the quarter in which they are consumed, that is, they will be computed within the quarter in which those amounts are consumed.
4.2.5. Transparency: publication of income and expenditure
We publish our income and expenses on our website. The income from credits consumed and from sending messages from advertisers to subscribers is updated daily and automatically, so the data always reflects the income that occurred until yesterday.
In addition, we publish quarterly summaries, which include the income, expenses, benefits, total donations, the votes obtained by each NGO and the donations corresponding to each one.
You can consult this data at https://3warnings.com/statistics/figures.html
4.3. Reservation of admission of certain organizations
3warnings reserves the right to admit organizations operating in countries identified as being at risk due to their special links to the financing of terrorism or money laundering, in addition to any other situation that infringes human rights, unless the NGO has a proven good reputation and follows international transparency criteria in those countries.
In the Code of Conduct this right is extended in more detail subject to admission and other situations that could limit the provision of the service or admission of certain organisations to our platform.
5. CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO THE SERVICES OFFERED
