**Projects: Fund-Raising and Commerce**
The Fund Dreamer is a venue for raising contributed money to fund entrepreneurial endeavors. Company allows certain users (“Business Founders”) to list Projects and raise funds from other users (“Funders”). The Fund Dreamer is not offering, nor is it creating a platform for the exchange of, any security – including but not limited to, any note; stock; treasury stock; security future; bond; debenture; evidence of indebtedness; certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate, preorganization certificate or subscription; transferable share; investment contract; voting- trust certificate; certificate of deposit for a security; fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or other mineral rights; any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege on any security, certificate of deposit, or group or index of securities (including any interest therein or based on the value thereof); or any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege entered into on a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency, or, in general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a security , or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing. No Business Founder will raise funds for a Project in any manner that would involve the offer of a sale of a security as defined by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any State securities laws.
You understand that making a contribution to a Project is charitable in nature and does not give you any rights in or to that Project or any profits ultimately derived from or related thereto, including without limitation any ownership, control, or distribution rights, or any rights commonly afforded to the owner of a security and that the Business Founder shall be free to solicit other funding for the Project, enter into contracts for the Project, allocate rights in or to the Project, and otherwise direct the Project at their sole discretion. You further understand that nothing in this Agreement or otherwise limits Company’s right to enter into agreements or business relationships relating to Projects. Any contribution made by you is irrevocable and you shall have no right to a return of your contribution in whole or in part.
Certain contributions made on the Funddreamer may be tax deductible if given to a tax exempt organization as defined by section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Service code. You understand that, if you make a contribution to a Project that is posted by a tax exempt entity as defined by section 501(c) of the IRS code, Company is in no way involved and is not responsible for facilitation of any tax deduction or receipt thereto. Any potential deduction must be dealt with between the tax exempt organization and the Funder directly, outside of Company.
All funds are collected for Business Founders by WePay.com. Company does not, at any time, receive or hold any monies intended for Business Founders.
Company shall not be liable for your interactions with any organizations and/or individuals found on or through the Service.

In the event of a dispute, you release Company, its officers, employees, agents and successors in rights from claims, damages and demands of every kind, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and the Service.
Though Company cannot be held liable for the actions of a Business Founder, Business Founders are nevertheless wholly responsible for fulfilling obligations both implied and stated in any Project listing they create. Company reserves the right to cancel a Project listing and attempt, in good faith, to refund all associated members’ payments at any time for any reason. Company reserves the right to remove a Project listing from public listings for any reason.

Company is not responsible for issuing refunds for funds that have been collected by Business Founders.

**Fees and Payments**
