Please note that the individual you are making a gift or donating to may use your donation or payment at their discretion. We ask the individual to agree that they will use the funds received for their specified purpose. When an individual creates their profile page they are required to tick a box promising that if they reach their target they will use the funds for their specified purpose and if they do not reach their target they will still use any funds raised towards their target for their specified sport. However, this is not guaranteed.

6. Unauthorised Card Use
If you become aware of fraudulent use of your card, or if it is lost or stolen, you must notify your card provider.
7. Refunds
It is not Inspire Giving’s policy to issue refunds as funds are transferred to the “Star” immediately for “flexible” campaigns. Please ensure that your payment details are correct before confirming your transaction.
8. Fees
It is FREE to register your profile as a “Star” on the Inspire a Star website.
If you do not raise any money you pay nothing.
If you do raise funds the only charges are a 5% Inspire a Star administration fee on the funds raised plus any finance charges associated with raising your funds. The finance charges are the fees charged by our payment provider Stripe (see Section 4 above). These amounts will be subtracted from the amount you raise.
When you are deciding how much you need to include as your target please factor in both the finance charges and the Inspire a Star admin fee.
For example if you are looking to raise A$100 when you complete your profile page you should factor in a 5% Inspire a Star admin fee and also the Stripe charges.
For Stripe accounts in Australia the charge will be 1.75% plus 30c per transaction for domestic cards and for international cards the rate will be 2.9% plus 30c per transaction.
Example: If you raise A$400 the Inspire a Star admin fee will be $20. The Stripe fees will depend upon whether your donors use Australian or International cards and whether you receive one donation for A$400 or many smaller donations. If you raise $400 from one donor on a domestic Australian card the Stripe fee would be A$7.30. If the donor used an international card the fee would be $11.90.
