  These Terms of Service are important because they help define our relationship with you as you use the Platform. “Akabbo,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and other similar terms, shall refer to the party you are contracting with.
• 1.2. Acceptance of Terms: By using any of the Services or the Platform, you’re agreeing to these Terms of Service. This means you understand and accept all the rules about using our Services. Whether you are contributing to a Fundraiser as a Donor, starting a Fundraiser, withdrawing funds as an Organizer or Beneficiary, or otherwise interacting with the Services, these terms apply to you. Depending on where you live, you might be entering into this agreement with different Akabbo entities.  If you are located in the United States, you are contracting with Akabbo, Inc. If you are located in Australia, you are contracting with Akabbo Australia PTY Ltd. in Australia. If you are located anywhere else in the world, you are contracting with Akabbo Ireland Limited.  However, Akabbo, Inc. may apply, and exercise our rights under, these Terms of Service on behalf of the party that you are contracting with.  Please see the bottom of these Terms of Service for the addresses and contact information for each of these Akabbo entities.
• 1.3. Quick Note on Arbitration: If you’re using Akabbo in the United States, Australia or Canada, you need to know about our arbitration agreement. By using our Services, you are agreeing that if there’s a disagreement or legal issue between you and Akabbo, it will be resolved through binding arbitration, not in court.  You also waive your right to be part of a class action lawsuit or to have a jury trial. Please make sure to read the “Dispute Resolution & Arbitration” section of these Terms of Service for more details.
