Effective Date: December 23, 2025

Last Updated: Feb 1, 2026

Welcome to RunPledge.com ("RunPledge," "we," "us," or "our"), a fundraiser payment processing platform operated by Oil Chaser LLC, a limited liability company, doing business as (d/b/a) RunPledge and Peacock Powder. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website, services, and features (collectively, the "Platform"), including payment processing via Stripe Connect for donations and pledges. By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

We specialize in helping schools, churches, and nonprofits (501(c)(3) or equivalent organizations) run efficient fundraisers. Our Platform integrates with tools like Webflow for websites, GoHighLevel for SMS/email management, Stripe for payments, and N8N for workflow automation. If you're setting up a fundraiser, we're here to make it seamless and compliant.

1. Eligibility and Account Registration

To use the Platform, you must be a representative of a qualified nonprofit organization (e.g., school, church, or 501(c)(3) entity). You agree to provide accurate information, including your organization's EIN and proof of nonprofit status via upload during registration. We reserve the right to verify and reject any account that does not meet our criteria.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.

2. Services and Tiers

RunPledge offers two service tiers:

• Free Tier: Self-managed. Processing fees (3.2% + $0.40 per transaction) are deducted from each donation before payout to your organization.
• Premium Tier: We handle SMS/email campaigns and outreach. Processing fees and platform fee (up to 10%) are added on top of donations at checkout—your organization receives 100% of the donated amount. Includes a $10 net profit per participant guarantee (see Section 4) and a $300 celebration bonus after your event.

All payments are processed via Stripe Connect. You authorize us to connect your Stripe account and handle transactions on your behalf. Donations are intended to be over 80% tax-deductible to qualify for Stripe's nonprofit rates—ensure your campaigns comply.
