Magdalen College reserves the right to remove a Project from the Services and cancel all associated Sponsors' pledges at any time for any reason. Creators may initiate refunds at their own discretion. Neither Magdalen College nor Sponsorcraft Ltd is responsible for issuing refunds for funds that have been collected by Creators.

Sponsorcraft does not charge processing fees for projects on hubbub.net. If your Project does not reach its funding target no fees are charged by either Sponsorcraft or PayPal or Stripe. PayPal and Stripe apply a fee to the funds raised by successful Projects. This fee is dependent on the size of donations and may change over time. Please visit PayPal's Fees page and Stripe’s Fees page for more information on their costs.
The possibility of chargebacks to a Creator's account is very unlikely. However, in the event that PayPal, Stripe or any other relevant entity such as a court of law deems that a chargeback is necessary, the Creator assumes the responsibility for all fees and chargebacks as appropriate and will deal directly with PayPal or Stripe in such cases as required to ensure the issue is resolved.
This policy is in keeping with PayPal's policy that during the Adaptive Payments transaction, the Creator is the Primary Receiver. For more information, please see PayPal's Adaptive Payments section on PayPal's website.
The Stripe Service (debit / credit card payments) Stripe is a payment service which allows Creators to accept and process credit card, debit card and other types of card payments from their Sponsors. By registering with Stripe, the Creator accepts Stripe’s terms and conditions which can be found at https://stripe.com/terms
