The amount of the contribution will be in accordance with OneCause's policy in effect at the time a purchase is made. User must designate an enrolled organization or non-profit youth organization to receive contributions generated by the User's purchases prior to making any such purchases; otherwise, the contributions will not be credited to the enrolled organization.
Where ORGANIZATION is inactive with ONECAUSE but earns contributions from purchases made by consumers, ORGANIZATION has 180 days from the last day of the quarter where the contributions were earned to activate with ONECAUSE to receive said contributions.
