Terms of use
The written framework: what we do with the money you send us, the fees we announce, and what we commit to. These terms and the « Where your money goes » page work as a pair.
Last updated on 12 octobre 2026
BetterWorld is a company, not a registered charity. We cannot issue receipts for tax purposes. Your contribution is BetterWorld revenue. Made for organizations, it carries our commitment to pass on at least 85% of it, calculated on the gross amount, to organizations we select, and to publish every transfer with its proof. Made for BetterWorld's mission, it goes to BetterWorld in full.
1. Acceptance
By using betterworldmovement.org, you accept these terms. If you disagree, please do not use the site.
2. What BetterWorld is
BetterWorld is a private company registered in Quebec (NEQ 2281941809). It is not an association, not a non-profit, and not a registered charity. It operates a resource directory, free guides and tools, a shop, and a contribution page. BetterWorld does not collect funds on behalf of any third-party organization and does not act as agent for any organization.
3. What happens to your contribution
Your contribution is BetterWorld revenue from the moment we receive it. It is neither a deposit nor a sum held on behalf of a third party, and no organization acquires any right over it.
- For contributions made for organizations, BetterWorld commits to passing on at least 85% of the gross amount of the contributions received on that basis to organizations it selects. This commitment is measured over the calendar year, and its progress is published on the « Where your money goes » page.
- We choose the organization, the amount and the timing. What you tell us about your preferences guides our choice without determining it.
- The remainder, at most 15%, runs and builds BetterWorld: payment fees, hosting, tools, development, and the actions BetterWorld carries out itself for the mission. The whole is declared and taxed as revenue.
- A contribution made for BetterWorld's mission goes to BetterWorld in full: it is not part of the transfer commitment. The contribution page says so before payment.
- No transfer deadline is set and we promise none. What we do guarantee is that every transfer made is published with its proof within the following 30 days.
- The 85% commitment is announced before you contribute. Should it change, the new rate would apply only to contributions received after it is published.
4. No tax receipt
Only a registered charity may issue a receipt for tax purposes. BetterWorld is not one. A contribution made through BetterWorld gives no right to a tax receipt and is not deductible.
5. Choice of organizations
We only fund an organization whose legal existence is verifiable, and we record the verification date. The selection policy is published in full on the transparency page. If an organization does not provide proof of receipt, the transfer still appears publicly, with our own payment confirmation, and that organization receives nothing more from us until it provides a receipt.
6. Cancellation and errors
A one-off contribution can be cancelled within 30 days of payment, with no reason to give: write to us and we refund the full amount. A monthly donation can be stopped whenever you want, with no reason to give and no minimum duration: from your donation management page (billing.stripe.com, where Stripe sends you a login link by email), or by writing to contact@betterworldmovement.org. The month already paid runs to its end, and nothing is charged after that. In the event of a technical error on our side, we correct it and publish the correction.
7. Shop, guides and affiliate links
Purchases in the shop and paid guides are ordinary commercial sales: the full amount is BetterWorld revenue. Some links are affiliate links, at no extra cost to you; this is disclosed on the dedicated page. Return, refund and delivery terms are specified at the time of order.
8. Resources and external links
The directory gathers third-party resources for convenience. We work to keep it accurate, but we cannot guarantee the availability, accuracy or eligibility conditions of each one. Always confirm directly with the organization. In an emergency, call 911 or the appropriate official services.
9. General guidance, not professional advice
Guides and tools provide general guidance and do not replace personalized professional advice (legal, financial, medical). Our tools run entirely on your device and we never receive what you enter in them.
10. Intellectual property
The BetterWorld name, logo and original content are protected. You may not reproduce them without authorization. Third-party trademarks and content remain the property of their respective owners.
11. Limitation of liability
The site is provided as is. To the extent permitted by law, BetterWorld cannot be held liable for damages arising from use of the site or of the listed resources. Nothing here limits the transfer commitment set out in section 3.
12. Personal information
No contributor name is ever published. Our handling of personal information is described in the privacy policy.
13. Changes
These terms may change. The date above always indicates the version in force, and past versions of the transparency page remain available.
14. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws applicable in Quebec, Canada.
