If this happens we will contact you to ask your preference for which project to reallocate your funds to.

3.8

You undertake that all details you provide to us for the purpose of using the Services offered on our website will be correct, that the credit or debit card, or any electronic cash, which you use is your own and that there are sufficient funds or credit facilities to cover any donation you make.
