These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of generous1000.com (the "Site") and the Generous1000™ program and related services (together, the "Services") operated by Advancement Communications, Inc., doing business as Advancement Digital ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing the Site or engaging our Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site or Services.
Advancement Communications, Inc. is a New York corporation with mailing address PO Box 33, New Paltz, NY 12561. Generous1000™ is a trademark of Kathleen Banks and a program operated under Advancement Digital.
The Services are intended for nonprofit organizations and their authorized representatives. By applying to the pilot cohort or otherwise engaging the Services, you represent that you have authority to enter into these Terms on behalf of your organization and that the information you provide is accurate.
Submitting an application through the Site does not create a binding engagement. Program participation begins only when we accept your application in writing and both parties execute a separate services agreement (the "Services Agreement"). If the Services Agreement conflicts with these Terms, the Services Agreement controls for that engagement.
Participation typically includes:
The program is designed so your organization owns the resulting donor relationships, systems, and materials at program end.
Fees, payment schedules, and refund terms are set out in your Services Agreement. Unless that agreement says otherwise, invoices are due on receipt, and program fees are non-refundable once the diagnostic phase has begun.
The Generous1000™ name, framework, methodology, written materials, templates, and all Site content are owned by Kathleen Banks and Advancement Communications, Inc., and are protected by trademark, copyright, and other laws. During and after the program:
You agree not to:
Information exchanged during the diagnostic and program phases, including donor lists, gift histories, board discussions, and strategic plans, is treated as confidential. We describe our data handling practices in our Security Summary and Security & Privacy FAQ.
The Site and Services rely on third-party providers, including Netlify (hosting), HubSpot (CRM), Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager, CookieYes (consent management), and Brevo (transactional email). Your use of the Site is also subject to those providers' terms and privacy practices to the extent applicable.
Fundraising results depend on many factors we do not control, including donor base composition, staff execution, board engagement, and external conditions. Any results referenced on the Site or in program materials are historical and specific to the organizations described. We do not guarantee comparable results for your organization.
The Site and Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Advancement Communications, Inc., its officers, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost donations, or lost data, arising out of or relating to your use of the Site or Services. Our aggregate liability for direct damages will not exceed the fees you paid to us under the applicable Services Agreement in the twelve months preceding the claim.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Advancement Communications, Inc., Kathleen Banks, and our affiliates from any third-party claim arising from your misuse of the Site or Services, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site or Services at any time if you materially breach these Terms or your Services Agreement. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property, confidentiality, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law, will survive.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The parties agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days, it will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Ulster County, New York, and both parties consent to personal jurisdiction there.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be announced on the Site. Your continued use of the Site or Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Questions about these Terms can be sent to Advancement Communications, Inc., PO Box 33, New Paltz, NY 12561, or by email to support@advancementdigital.com.
