The Platform is owned by Let’s Donation S.r.l. (hereinafter, the “Company”), with registered office in Bologna, Via Indipendenza 22, registered with the Bologna Companies Register under Tax Code and VAT No. 03188581205.
The Company operates, through the website www.letsdonation.com and customer websites such as www.companyname.letsdonation.com and www.beneficiaryname.org.letsdonation.com, a platform (hereinafter, the “Platform”) dedicated to Corporate Social Responsibility, through which companies or beneficiaries may acquire a licence to use the Platform in order to access a customised and exclusive platform.
By accessing the Platform, the registration page and completing the registration form, the User accepts the general and specific terms and conditions of the service.
The service is completely free of charge for the User. The use of the service is subject solely to the User’s registration and compliance with these Terms and Conditions.
The data provided by the User will be processed in accordance with the privacy policy applicable to the company published on the Platform and will be electronically stored by the Company. The User may access such data at any time in order to delete or modify it, as provided for in the Company’s applicable Privacy Policy.
Connection to and access to the Platform imply the User’s full and unconditional acceptance of all provisions contained in these Terms and Conditions.
The User may propose new entities, organisations, foundations, associations, institutions or other organisations so that they may publish new social projects to be supported, subject to the following conditions:
The mere presence or publication of an entity on the Platform does not constitute any statement, certification or guarantee by Let’s Donation regarding its legal, tax or fiscal status.
These general Terms and Conditions may be updated, supplemented or amended by the Company at any time, with effect for the future. The Company will notify Users of such changes through the Platform.
User: any person who, by using the Platform (by entering the URL or through a link, banner, social network, etc.), completes the registration form with the requested information in order to support the projects published on the Platform.
Beneficiary: the entity, organisation, foundation, association, institution or other organisation, having independent legal personality and/or legal capacity to receive donations, identified on the Platform as the recipient of the funds collected through Let’s Donation.
The Beneficiary may include, by way of example and without limitation:
The absence of the Beneficiary’s registration with RUNTS does not, in itself, constitute grounds for exclusion from the Platform, provided that the Beneficiary meets the legal and tax requirements necessary to receive the funds and provides Let’s Donation with the documentation requested for verification purposes.
Let’s Donation reserves the right not to activate, suspend or deactivate a fundraising campaign if, based on the available documentation, it believes that the entity identified as Beneficiary does not meet the requirements necessary to receive the funds or that the relevant initiative does not comply with applicable law.
The publication of a Beneficiary on the Platform does not constitute any statement or certification by Let’s Donation concerning the Beneficiary’s status as a Third Sector Entity, registration with RUNTS, applicable tax regime, or the tax deductibility or tax credit eligibility of the amounts paid.
Any possibility for the donor to benefit from tax credits, deductions or other tax benefits depends exclusively on the legal nature of the Beneficiary, the purpose of the donation, the payment method used and the applicable tax legislation in force.
The donor is therefore responsible for verifying, including with their own tax adviser where appropriate, the tax treatment applicable to the specific donation.
Before activating a fundraising campaign, Let’s Donation may request the Beneficiary to provide:
The Beneficiary warrants that the information and documentation provided to Let’s Donation are truthful, complete and up to date.
Let’s Donation provides a technological infrastructure for the management, promotion, collection, accounting and reporting of donations intended for Beneficiaries.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Let’s Donation does not acquire ownership of the funds collected as donations and does not act as the beneficiary of such funds.
The funds collected are allocated to the Beneficiary in accordance with the procedures and timeframes set out in these Terms and Conditions and any specific agreements entered into with the Beneficiary.
The Beneficiary is responsible for using the funds received in compliance with applicable law and with the purpose indicated for the relevant initiative.
All information relating to Projects is prepared by the entity promoting or publishing the Project and/or by the Beneficiary, according to the role held in the specific initiative. The Company assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or truthfulness of the information provided.
As a general rule, information relating to a particular Project is published for an indefinite period, without prejudice to the right of the entity that published it to delete it. The Company reserves the right to discontinue publication and the collection of donations without prior notice where there is just cause.
Relations concerning the donation and the Project are governed by the structure and procedures applicable to the specific initiative. The Beneficiary is the recipient of the funds collected, unless otherwise provided by these Terms and Conditions or by specific agreements.
The Company is under no obligation to verify the implementation of Projects and shall not be liable for them in any way. More generally, to the extent permitted by law, the Company assumes no obligation or liability towards Users in relation to the Beneficiary, its conduct, the management of the funds received or the implementation of the Project.
The funds collected on behalf of Beneficiaries shall be settled within 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter, namely by 30 April, 30 July, 30 October and 30 January of the following year, provided that the total amount accrued and payable is equal to or greater than EUR 50.00.
Settlement shall be made by bank transfer to the IBAN of the Beneficiary indicated and verified in the Platform records.
If, at the end of the relevant quarter, the total amount accrued in favour of the Beneficiary is less than EUR 50.00, such amount shall be carried forward to the following quarter until the minimum threshold of EUR 50.00 is reached.
A.1 Donations may be made by credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Satispay, PayPal and MyBank payment systems operated by Worldline, a global leader in digital payments. Further information is available on www.paypal.it and https://worldline.com/it-it/home. The Company assumes no responsibility for the operation of the above-mentioned payment systems.
A.2 Payments are made in favour of the Beneficiary identified for the published Project. In such case, for each successful donation made through the Platform, the User simultaneously grants the Company an irrevocable mandate with representation to transfer, in accordance with the procedures agreed with the Beneficiary, the amount corresponding to the donation, net of applicable management and transaction costs.
A.3 The Beneficiary may establish a maximum fundraising target for a specific Project. A minimum amount for individual donations may also be established, as well as a deadline by which donations must be collected.
B.1 The Charity Shop service allows Users to freely browse the published listings, including:
B.1.1.1 The listings included in the Charity E-Commerce section relate to the online shops of partners affiliated with Buy-On. The service is provided by Imnoko S.r.l., VAT No. IT02167140512, with registered office at Via Giuseppe Garibaldi 97, 52100 Arezzo (AR), Italy. The terms and conditions applicable to such service are available at https://www.buyon.it/condizioni.
The Platform enables Beneficiaries to raise donations for their projects when their supporters make purchases from the above-mentioned online shops. In order to generate a donation in favour of a published project, the User must access the relevant partner online shop through the Platform.
B.1.1.2 When a User, after being redirected to the website of an affiliated partner, completes a purchase, the User accrues a discount from the affiliated partner. For each successful purchase made through the Platform, the User simultaneously grants the Company an irrevocable mandate with representation to transfer, in accordance with the instructions received from the Beneficiary, the amount corresponding to the portion of the purchase price that the affiliated partner has declared available as a discount.
The Company has no control over the commercial policies of affiliated merchants and shall not be liable for changes to discounts. The amount allocated shall be transferred in accordance with the operational procedures of the Platform and shall be allocated to the relevant donation in favour of the Beneficiary, in compliance with applicable law.
After the purchase has been completed, the User will receive an email notification of the cashback accrued, which may also be viewed in the User’s personal area under the “e-commerce” section.
In order to be donated, the Cashback must become available and will then be shown in the relevant counter.
The Company uses its best efforts to ensure that the discount allocation system operates correctly, but cannot guarantee and shall not be liable for discounts that are not recorded or for any failure by affiliated companies to comply with their obligations.
In general, information concerning commercial transactions is published on the same day on which the User completes the payment. However, this timeframe depends on each Partner. If, as a registered User, you find within 5 business days that the cashback has not been accrued, you must contact the support service at support@buyon.com and provide details of your purchase.
In any email requesting assistance in resolving a transaction error, you should include the following information, which can be found on your purchase receipt: Partner name, purchase date, order/purchase number, items purchased, total price, payment method used (do not provide any credit card number), and the contact information provided to the Partner, including name, address, email address and telephone number.
The Company shall not be liable for claims that are rejected.
B.1.1.3 Pursuant to the mandate referred to above, the Company undertakes to pay the Beneficiary owning the relevant beneficiary projects the discounts accrued and duly paid by the affiliated partner.
B.1.1.4 In certain limited circumstances beyond the Company’s control, the Company may be unable to complete the payment of discounts accrued for beneficiary projects. In particular:
B.1.2.1 Gift Card listings relate to gift cards issued by brands participating in the initiative, which offer Users the possibility of purchasing the available denomination while allocating the percentage indicated in the relevant listing as a donation.
B.1.2.2 Upon completion of the transaction, the User will receive, by email or directly through the User’s profile area, a link or alphanumeric code for the voucher to be used with the relevant brand.
B.1.2.3 The terms and conditions applicable to each gift card are indicated in the relevant listing.
B.1.2.4 Gift Cards are non-returnable and non-refundable.
The “Initiatives” section allows Users to apply for events or notices published by Beneficiaries or by the company itself.
“Events” means activities with a predetermined date, start and end time and, where applicable, shifts with a specified or unlimited number of participants. In some cases, participation in an event may require a minimum donation in support of a published project.
In such cases, interested Users may register to participate.

The Payroll Giving service allows an employee (hereinafter, the “Employee”) to make a one-off or recurring donation, deducted directly from their salary, in favour of one or more charitable entities selected through the Platform.
The Payroll Giving service involves the following parties:
The Payroll Giving service may only be activated following the Employer’s participation in the programme offered by the Company.
The Employee may activate the service by accessing the Platform, selecting the crowdfunding campaign and the donation amount (one-off or recurring).
Activation of the service by the Employee constitutes the Employee’s express authorisation to the Employer to deduct the specified amount directly from the Employee’s salary.
The Employee may freely choose:
Donations shall commence from the first eligible payroll following the date on which the donation is created, subject to the technical processing times required for payroll processing.
The Employee may revoke a donation created in their personal area at any time.
The revocation shall take effect from the first eligible payroll cycle following the request, depending on the Employer’s payroll processing times.
Through their personal area, the Employee may track the entire process relating to payroll donations, from creation through to completion, i.e. payment to the Beneficiary.
Through their personal area, the Employee may download tax receipts for the purposes of claiming applicable tax deductions in their income tax return.
The Company is responsible for the administrative and technological management of the service, facilitating the transfer of the funds collected to the Beneficiaries.
The Company does not act as the beneficiary of the donations and does not retain donated funds, except for any service fees clearly indicated on the Platform and in this document.

5% + VAT or withholding tax, where applicable, per transaction.
Such costs shall therefore be deducted from the amount collected during the period in which the Project is published.

10%.
Let’s Donation provides that a portion equal to 10% of the amount accrued as Cashback in connection with transactions carried out by Users through the Charity Shop shall be retained by Let’s Donation as remuneration for the services and activities connected with the management of the initiative.
The remaining portion of the Cashback, net of the above-mentioned remuneration, shall be allocated by the User to the selected Beneficiary in accordance with the procedures provided by the Platform.
Any VAT applicable to the Cashback or to the consideration payable to Let’s Donation shall be determined with reference to the transaction generating such commission or consideration and shall not automatically be applied again to the subsequent allocation by the User of the Cashback portion to the Beneficiary.
In any event, the tax and fiscal treatment of the amounts allocated to Beneficiaries and of the amounts retained by Let’s Donation shall be determined according to the legal and economic nature of the individual transactions, the contractual relationships between the parties and the applicable legislation in force.
The consideration payable to the Company for the service shall be equal to 5% (ten per cent) + VAT or withholding tax, where applicable.
