2.2.3. The donor may make a donation in the form of:
- a one-time donation — a single payment in the amount chosen by the donor via a payment instrument available on the Website; or
- a subscription — a regular charitable payment made in the form of periodic debiting of the amount chosen by the donor from the payment instrument specified when setting up such payment, in accordance with the parameters of the regular donation (subscription) chosen by the donor, including the amount, the frequency of debiting and the subscription term, where such parameters are available in the relevant payment interface, provided that the relevant functionality is available on the Website.
2.2.4. By setting up a subscription in accordance with these Terms, the donor consents to the periodic debiting of funds in accordance with the parameters chosen by the donor and agrees to the subscription cancellation terms set out in Clause 2.3 of these Terms.
2.2.5. Payments are made through the relevant payment providers, banks or other payment services. The Foundation is not a bank, payment institution or payment service provider, does not process payment transactions, does not store full payment card data of donors and does not control the operation of third-party payment infrastructure. The relevant payments may additionally be subject to the terms, rules, tariffs, restrictions and policies of the relevant bank, payment provider or other payment service provider. The Foundation is not liable for a refusal by the issuing bank, payment provider or other third party to process a payment, for payment delays, technical failures, temporary unavailability of the payment infrastructure, bank fees, currency conversion rules or other conditions established by such third parties.
2.2.6. By making a donation via the Website, the donor acknowledges and agrees that the purposes and manner of use of the donation may be changed by the Foundation, and the donation may be reallocated to projects or purposes other than those specified at the time of the donation. By accepting these Terms, the donor, in accordance with Article 730 of the Civil Code of Ukraine and Article 6 of the Law of Ukraine "On Charitable Activities and Charitable Organizations", consents to such change of the purposes and manner of use of the donation, without the need to obtain separate consent from, or additionally notify, the donor. Such change is possible, in particular, if the project for which the donation was made ends earlier than expected and unused funds remain, if the implementation of the project becomes impossible, or if, by a reasoned decision of the Foundation, more pressing needs or urgent projects requiring funding arise. In any event, the reallocated funds shall be used exclusively for the purposes specified in Clause 2.2.2 of these Terms and within the statutory activities of the Foundation.
2.2.7. The Foundation does not guarantee the uninterrupted availability of the regular payments functionality and may change, temporarily suspend or discontinue the availability of such functionality on the Website where necessary for technical, operational, legal or other justified reasons.
2.2.8. After each successful debiting of funds, the donor receives a receipt or other payment confirmation to the email address specified by the donor when setting up the regular charitable payment, where supported by the relevant payment provider. The donor is responsible for the accuracy of the email address and other contact details provided by the donor. If a regular payment cannot be executed due to insufficient funds, expiry of the payment card, restrictions imposed by the issuing bank or the payment provider, a technical error or other circumstances, such payment may not be made or may be re-initiated by the relevant payment provider in accordance with its rules and technical procedures. The Foundation is not liable for the impossibility of executing a regular payment for reasons beyond the Foundation's control.

2.3. Subscription cancellation
2.3.1. The donor may cancel a subscription at any time in one of the following ways:
- independently, via the service through which the regular donation (subscription) was set up, available on the Website; or
- by contacting the Foundation at the email address specified in Clause 1.7 of these Terms or on the Website with a request to cancel the regular charitable payment.

2.3.3. Cancellation of a subscription stops the relevant future debits but does not affect the lawfulness and finality of the donations successfully made before such cancellation. The Foundation makes reasonable efforts to process requests to cancel regular donations (subscriptions) as soon as possible. At the same time, the donor understands and agrees that if a cancellation request is received immediately before the next debiting or after the payment transaction has been initiated by the payment provider, such debiting may be processed before the regular payment is actually cancelled.

All information about the funds raised and spent can be found on the Website or on the official public profiles on social media.
2.4.2.

2.5. Payment currency, conversion and fees
2.5.1. The donation amount may be displayed or chosen by the donor in a currency available on the Website or in the relevant payment interface. At the same time, the donor understands and agrees that the actual authorization and processing of the payment may be carried out in accordance with the requirements of applicable law and the rules of the relevant payment provider, the acquiring bank, the issuing bank of the payment card and international payment systems. If the donation amount is displayed or chosen in a currency other than the Ukrainian hryvnia, the payment authorization request may be sent to the issuing bank of the user's payment card in hryvnia at the relevant exchange rate applied by the payment provider, the acquiring bank or another payment service provider involved, in accordance with the applicable laws of Ukraine.
2.5.2. The issuing bank of the user's payment card may convert the payment amount from hryvnia into the currency of the user's card account at such issuing bank's own rate and may charge additional fees, charges or commissions for conversion, cross-border payments, payments in foreign currency or other operations in accordance with its rules and tariffs. The Foundation does not set or control the exchange rates applied by banks, payment providers or international payment systems, nor does it set or control the fees that may be charged by the issuing bank of the user's payment card or other financial institutions involved. If the relevant payment provider applies the rate of a particular bank, including the rate of PrivatBank, such rate may be displayed in the personal account or other interface of the relevant payment provider, where provided for by its functionality. The Foundation does not guarantee that the rate displayed on the Website or in the payment provider's interface will be identical to the rate actually applied by the issuing bank of the user's payment card. The final amount debited from the user's card account may differ from the amount displayed on the Website or in the relevant payment interface due to currency conversion, bank exchange rates, payment system rules, issuing bank fees or other charges beyond the Foundation's control.
