www.givefehr.com is a crowdfunding platform that allows users to post bills that can be paid using donations. This process is known as posting a “Fehr”. The Fehr posted will be paid directly to the specified recipient (i.e., electricity company, student loan company, etc.) after the whole amount due has been attained or the 30 day expiration of the post has occurred. We will attempt to make the payment with the funds raised to the intended recipient (i.e., electricity company, student loan company, etc.) in the event the goal has not been reached within 30 days. There will be no exchange of funds raised between fehr and the user creating the post. The user posting the fehr should ensure they have appropriately entered accurate information for fehr to contact the intended recipient (i.e., electricity company, student loan company, etc.) and pay the bill with funds raised on the platform. In the event we need additional information, we will reach out to the user who created the post via email to obtain necessary information to pay the bill. The total amount of an individual posted Fehr cannot be less than $10 or more than $5,000.

By accessing or using the Website or Services, User agrees: (i) that any and all disputes User may have with, or claims User may have against the Company relating to, arising out of or connected in any way with (a) the Website or Services, (b) these Terms of Service, or (c) the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate (a “Claim”), will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”). The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision in any such arbitration will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the arbitration will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may be required by applicable law.
Unless both parties agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Each party will be responsible for paying their respective AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA rules. In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration User and the Company each waive any right to a jury trial.
THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM, THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE AAA RULES, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT USER OR FEHR WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

This Section of these Terms of Service will survive the termination of User’s relationship with the Company.
