Terms of Service
Content Linked to by GoodShortcut
The sites redirect results or linked to by GoodShortcut Services
are developed by people over whom GoodShortcut exercises no
control. GoodShortcut cannot and does not screen the sites
before generating the short link. A redirect using GoodShortcut
Services may produce results and links to sites that some people
may find objectionable, inappropriate, or offensive. We cannot
guarantee that a GoodShortcut link created by the users will not
locate unintended or objectionable content and assume no
responsibility for the content of any site included in any
redirect results or otherwise linked to by the GoodShortcut
Services.
Use of Service
You may not take the results from a GoodShortcut link and
reformat and display them, or mirror the GoodShortcut home page
or results pages on your Web site. If you are interested in
adding a GoodShortcut tool on your web site or your company's
web site, please contact us.
No Automated Hits
You may not send automated hits of any sort to GoodShortcut's
system. Note that "sending automated hits” will result in the
user being blocked from the site and/or the charity being
de-listed.
Prohibited Uses
You shall not, and shall not authorize or encourage any third
party to directly or indirectly generate queries, impressions of
or clicks on any short links, Links and/or Ad(s) through any
automated, deceptive, fraudulent or other invalid means,
including but not limited to through repeated manual clicks, the
use of robots or other automated query tools and/or computer
generated hit requests, and/or the unauthorized use of other
spyware or adware.
Program Participation by Nonprofits
Participation in the Program is subject to GoodShortcut prior
approval. GoodShortcut reserves the right to refuse
participation to any organization, including nonprofits and
schools, at any time in its sole discretion.
Each listed organization will receive a proportion of the sum we
allocate to charity equivalent to the proportion in which its
supporters use the website relative to the supporters of other
listed charities. We will distribute a maximum 50 percent of
revenues to nonprofit organizations. GoodShortcut will send each
organization a check once a year providing the organization has
accrued $20 or more. If the organization has earned less than
$20, the funds will be allocated on a pro rata basis to those
organizations which have met the minimum payment requirement.
In no event will GoodShortcut make payments for any earned
balance less than $20.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, GoodShortcut shall not be liable
for any payment based on any amounts which result from invalid
hits, skipping the Ad page or invalid clicks on ads generated by
any person, bot, automated program or similar device, as
reasonably determined by GoodShortcut, including without
limitation through any clicks or impressions originating from
your IP addresses or computers under your control.
To ensure proper payment, organizations are solely responsible
for providing and maintaining accurate contact and payment
information associated with their account. Any bank fees related
to returned or cancelled checks due to a contact or payment
information error or omission may be deducted from the newly
issued payment. Organizations agree to pay all applicable taxes
or charges imposed by any government entity in connection with
their participation in the Program. GoodShortcut may change its
pricing and/or payment structure at any time. If you dispute any
payment made under the Program, you must notify GoodShortcut in
writing within thirty (30) days of any such payment; failure to
so notify GoodShortcut shall result in the waiver by you of any
claim relating to any such disputed payment. Payment shall be
calculated solely based on records maintained by GoodShortcut.
No other measurements or statistics of any kind shall be
accepted by GoodShortcut or have any effect under this
Agreement.
