1. Introduction

Welcome to Social Impact Rewards (“SIR,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website at socialimpactrewards.org, together with any related applications, dashboards, and integrations we provide (collectively, the “Services”). The Services connect a network of nonprofit organizations, donor platforms, agricultural cooperatives, impact investors, family offices, and other partner organizations (collectively, “Network Participants”) through a shared impact-tracking and loyalty rewards system.

By accessing or using the Services — including by submitting an inquiry, applying to “Connect Your Organization,” or applying to “Join the Investor Coalition” — you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

Donors giving through SIR Giving are separately subject to the SIR Giving Terms of Service (sirgiving.org/terms), and payment processing through Every.org is governed by Every.org’s own terms. Farmer cooperatives and agricultural organizations using SIR Farm are subject to any additional SIR Farm program terms provided at enrollment.

2. What SIR Points Are — and Are Not

Social Impact Rewards (SIR) points are a loyalty and recognition currency — conceptually similar to airline miles or credit card rewards points — used across the network to recognize donations, verified social or environmental impact milestones, and other qualifying actions.

SIR points:

• Have no cash value and cannot be purchased, sold, or exchanged for money or other consideration, except where we expressly authorize a specific redemption (for example, converting points to charitable giving credits through SIR Giving).
• Are not a security, investment contract, deposit, share, commodity, or currency of any kind, and do not represent an ownership interest in SIR, any Network Participant, or any underlying asset.
• Do not entitle any holder to profit sharing, dividends, interest, or any guaranteed rate of return, value, or redemption.
• May be issued, adjusted, capped, expired, or discontinued by us at any time, at our discretion, without liability to you.

Nothing on the Services — including any description of SIR as a “network,” “ecosystem,” or “coalition” — is an offer or solicitation to buy or sell a security, or investment, legal, tax, or financial advice. You should not rely on the Services in making any financial or investment decision.

3. The Network and Participant Types

3.1 Connected Organizations. Nonprofits, agricultural cooperatives, farmer collectives, self-help groups, and other organizations may apply to connect their existing donation or impact-verification data to the SIR network (“Connected Organizations”). Connecting doesn’t require replacing your existing systems — it means authorizing us to read specified data (e.g., confirmed donations or verified impact milestones) so we can calculate and issue SIR points to your community.

3.2 Investor Coalition Members. Impact investors, family offices, and venture philanthropists may apply to join the Investor Coalition to receive unified visibility into impact metrics across portfolio organizations that are Connected Organizations. Coalition membership is a reporting and network-access relationship — it does not involve purchasing SIR points, securities, or any financial instrument from us, and is not itself an investment.

3.3 General Users. Anyone may browse the Services or submit an inquiry.

3.4 Registration. Where registration or an application is required, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information, keep it updated, and keep any credentials confidential. You are responsible for activity under your account.

4. Verified Impact Data

We calculate and issue SIR points based on data from Connected Organizations, partner platforms (such as Every.org), and other data sources. We take reasonable steps to work with accurate data, but we rely on third parties to confirm underlying donations or impact milestones, and are not responsible for third-party errors, delays, or omissions.

5. Fees

Access to the core Services is currently free. Any fees for specific integrations, premium reporting, or custom network access will be set out in a separate written agreement or order form, and are not implied by these Terms.

6. Intellectual Property

We own or license all content, trademarks, logos, network methodology, and software associated with the Services. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works from the Services except as we expressly permit. If you connect your organization’s data to the network, you retain ownership of that data and grant us a limited license to use it solely to calculate, issue, and report on SIR points and impact metrics.

7. Confidentiality

If either party shares non-public business, financial, or portfolio information in the course of connecting to the network, the receiving party will use it only to provide or evaluate the Services and will not disclose it to third parties except as needed to provide the Services, with consent, or as required by law.

8. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

• Use the Services for any unlawful purpose, or to mislead donors, farmers, or investors about the nature, value, or redemption of SIR points.
• Misrepresent your organization’s impact data or manipulate the network to generate SIR points fraudulently.
• Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or any connected system.
• Transmit viruses or other harmful code.

9. Third-Party Services

The Services link to and integrate with third-party platforms, including SIR Giving (sirgiving.org), SIR Farm (sir.farm), Every.org, and various Connected Organizations and partners. We do not control and are not responsible for those parties’ content, terms, or practices. Your use of those platforms is governed by their own terms.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT SIR POINTS WILL HAVE OR RETAIN ANY PARTICULAR VALUE OR REDEMPTION RATE.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SIR AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR RELIANCE ON SIR POINTS.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SIR and its affiliates from claims, damages, and expenses arising from your use of the Services, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any third party’s rights.

13. Term and Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the Services, and may cancel, adjust, or expire SIR points, at any time and for any reason, including breach of these Terms.

14. Modifications

We may update these Terms at any time. We’ll post the updated version with a new “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Services after changes take effect means you accept them.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Colorado, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
