TERMS OF USE

52 Lives is not a registered charity or a company. It is simply a website set-up to try to spread a bit of kindness. But we thought it would be handy to have some terms of use. Here they are...

This disclaimer governs your use of our website; by using our website, you accept this disclaimer in full. If you disagree with any part of this disclaimer, do not use our website. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. You should therefore check periodically for changes. By using this site after we post any changes, you agree to accept those changes, whether or not you have reviewed them.

Nominations and requests for help

At 52 Lives, we will always do our very best to verify the nominees we select to give people confidence in offering help. We have good networks, we speak to people and we ask lots of questions. But, we are human, and we may one day get it wrong (but hopefully not)! So if you offer help to one of our nominees, you do so at your own risk.

The way we choose who to help is simple. We read the requests for help each week and make a judgment. We will always try to help whoever we can, but we will not enter into any discussions or disputes about the choices we make.

For the nominees we select, we will always do our best to find the help you need but make no promises or guarantees that we will actually be able to find help. We will not be held responsible for the outcome of any offers made or the quality or suitability of any goods or services provided, or if things just don’t work out. Please treat any offers of help with the common sense and caution you would normally use and don’t put yourself at risk. We like to think most strangers are kind, but some may not be.
