You agree to have sufficient funds, stock, crypto currency, or credit available upon placement of any such Contribution to ensure that the Contribution value will be collected by Overflow. Once a Contribution is processed, a payment cannot be cancelled by us and we have no obligation to honor any request to stop, correct, reverse or recall a payment. Overflow is not a payment processor, money services business or other financial institution. Our payment page is powered by third-party processors (collectively, “Third Party Contribution Processors”), WE DO NOT PROCESS PAYMENT FOR ANY CONTRIBUTIONS.

Yodlee utilizes APIs to allow you to view your stock portfolio on the Platform. When you choose the stock to donate, the Platform collects the information from Yodlee’s connection and initiates the stock Contribution request to your brokerage based on the information you select. After you authorize the contribution request through the Platform, the Contribution request is sent to your brokerage (e.g., Schwab, Fidelity, etc.). Your brokerage initiates a stock transfer to the recipient non-profit organization’s brokerage. Overflow also facilitates Contributions through corporate matching programs that may be offered by your employer. To the extent that you choose to make a Contribution through such corporate matching program, such Contribution(s) will be subject to the terms and conditions of the corporate matching policy of your employer. You are responsible for understanding the terms and conditions of any such corporate matching program. Overflow makes no representation as to the value of any Contribution. STOCK OWNERSHIP IS SUBJECT TO MARKET RISK AND OVERFLOW IS NOT LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CHANGES IN THE MARKET VALUE OF CONTRIBUTED STOCK DURING THE TIME BETWEEN WHEN YOU INITIATE THE STOCK CONTRIBUTION AND WHEN THE RECIPIENT NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION RECEIVES THE CONTRIBUTED STOCK IN ITS BROKERAGE ACCOUNT.

Overflow assumes no liability or responsibility for any Contributions made through the Platform.
If you elect to initiate recurring payments (which includes recurring donations), you are authorizing us to store and automatically charge your selected method of payment in the payment amount (including fees and charges) and frequency that you designated, without further consent or instructions from you.

The Notice to Overflow should be sent to 3790 El Camino Real, Unit 568, Palo Alto, CA 94306 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Overflow and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Overflow may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Overflow or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Overflow is entitled.
Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Unless Overflow and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Overflow agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
Costs of Arbitration
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. If the value of the relief sought is $75,000 or less, at your request, Overflow will pay all Arbitration Fees. If the value of relief sought is more than $75,000 and you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, Overflow will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Overflow will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
Confidentiality
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
Severability
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.
