Terms of Service

Effective Date: February 14, 2026 | Last Updated: February 14, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of this website ("Site") and the donation services available through it. This Site is operated by Jindo Love Rescue, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization ("Organization"), and is powered by Bloom (bloomgiving.org), a fundraising platform operated by Bloom One LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Bloom").

By accessing this Site or making a donation, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use this Site or make any donations.

1. About This Site

This Site is hosted and managed by Jindo Love Rescue using the Bloom platform. Bloom provides the technology infrastructure, including website hosting, donation processing, and donor management tools. Jindo Love Rescue is solely responsible for the content published on this Site and for the use of donated funds.

2. Donation Terms

Payment Processing

All donations are processed by Bloom One LLC on behalf of Jindo Love Rescue using Braintree (a PayPal service) as the payment processor. Bloom collects the funds and disburses Jindo Love Rescue's share according to its payout schedule.

Processing Fees

Donation processing incurs a fee of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. You may be given the option to cover this fee so Jindo Love Rescue receives 100% of your intended donation. If you choose to cover the fee, it is added to your total charge (e.g., a $100 donation becomes approximately $103.20). If you do not cover the fee, it is deducted from Jindo Love Rescue's share (e.g., on a $100 donation, Jindo Love Rescue receives approximately $96.80).

Platform Tips

You may be given the option to add a voluntary tip to Bloom to support the platform. Platform tips are separate from your donation to Jindo Love Rescue, retained by Bloom One LLC, and are not tax-deductible as a charitable contribution.

Finality of Donations

All donations are final. Refunds are generally not available except as required by law, at Jindo Love Rescue's discretion, or in cases of verified fraud. If you believe a donation was made in error, contact support@bloomgiving.org within 60 days.

Tax Deductibility

Jindo Love Rescue is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Your donation may be tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. A tax receipt will be sent to the email address you provide. If you choose to cover processing fees so that Jindo Love Rescue receives your full intended donation amount, the total amount charged may be treated as part of your charitable contribution, subject to applicable tax laws. Optional platform tips paid to Bloom One LLC are not charitable contributions and are not tax-deductible. Please consult your tax advisor.

3. Recurring Donations

If you make a recurring donation, you authorize Bloom (via Braintree) to charge your payment method on a recurring basis for the amount you specify. You may cancel at any time by contacting Jindo Love Rescue or emailing support@bloomgiving.org. Cancellation takes effect before the next billing date. Donations already processed are not refundable.

4. Payment Methods

This Site accepts: Credit/Debit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), PayPal, Venmo, ACH Bank Transfer, Apple Pay, and Google Pay (availability may vary). All payment methods are processed securely through Braintree. Your sensitive payment information is never stored on our servers.

5. User Conduct

You agree not to: make fraudulent donations or use stolen payment methods; attempt to circumvent security measures; use automated tools to submit donations; interfere with the Site's operation; impersonate another person; or use the Site for any unlawful purpose. Bloom reserves the right to refuse or reverse any transaction it believes is fraudulent or unauthorized.
