Charity Clarity ("CC," "we," "us," or "our") welcomes you. We invite you to access and use our online services (the "Services"), which are made available to you through a variety of platforms, including https://www.charityclarity.org.uk (the "Website" and collectively with any such other platforms, the "Platform").
We provide our Services to Visitors and Registered Users (as defined below) subject to the following Terms of Use, which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you. By browsing the public areas of the Platform or by accessing and using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated by reference (collectively, this "Agreement"). If you do not agree to any of these terms, then please do not use the Services.
1. Description and Use of Services
CC helps donors make informed giving decisions through a searchable database of information that CC has collected, compiled, and assembled about UK-based organisations (the "CC Database").
We provide Visitors, Registered Users, and Charity Representative Users with access to the Services as described in this Agreement.
Visitors: Visitors, as the term implies, are people who don't register with us, but want to poke around and see what the Services are all about. No login is required for Visitors. Visitors can: (a) view all publicly-available content, including, without limitation, the CC Database; (b) access and/or submit content to certain third-party applications; and (c) e-mail us.
Registered Users: Login is required for all Registered Users, who can do all the things that Visitors can do, and: (a) flag charities of interest in their own charity "portfolio"; (b) let friends and families know what charities are of interest to them; (c) view up to three (3) years of ratings and financial data for each charity; (e) update their accounts; and (f) sign up for CC's newsletter, alerts, and other notifications.
Charity Representative Users: Each charity is permitted to designate an official representative to manage its CC profile, who can do all the things that Registered Users can do, and: (a) update basic information about the applicable charity; (b) leave comments on the charity's page about its current rating; and (c) updating accountability and transparency data in the CC Database.
2. Community Guidelines
CC's community, like any community, functions best when its users follow a few simple rules. By accessing and/or using the Services, you agree to comply with these community rules:
