MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU)
1. AGREEMENT. This My Way Company Memorandum of Understanding (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between the above-named company (“Company”) and United Way of Central Alabama, Inc. (“UWCA”), an Alabama nonprofit corporation, and is effective as of the effective date shown above.
  
2. TERM
A. The Term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall last for one year, unless sooner ended in accordance with Section C below. This Agreement is not effective until UWCA accepts the Agreement; this acceptance may be communicated to Company or its representative orally or in any written format; upon acceptance it will be deemed effective as of the Effective Date.

B. Renewal. This Agreement will automatically renew for one-year periods on each succeeding anniversary of the Effective Date unless either party notifies the other party in writing that it does not desire to renew this Agreement at least 90 days before the end of the then-current Term.
C. Termination for Cause. If a party materially breaches this agreement and fails to cure such breach within 30 days of receiving written notice of default or commences bankruptcy or dissolution proceedings, then the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement for cause, by giving written notice to the other party. 

D. Effect of Termination. Upon termination, UWCA may remove Company access to the System (defined below), shall ensure Company has access to Company data in a format reasonably acceptable to Company, and shall, upon Company’s request, delete Company data, provided that UWCA (1) shall retain any data necessary to process ongoing pledges and (2) shall not delete End User data (e.g., giving and volunteer history, impact area interests) unless requested by such End User.

3. SCOPE OF SERVICES. UWCA shall provide Company and its employees access to its My Way platform (the “System”). The System is UWCA’s proprietary progressive web application that facilitates charitable giving, volunteering, and donor engagement. The System shall enable UWCA to collect, process and distribute pledges made by individuals to UWCA and other local United Ways and shall allow Company workplace administrators to view certain information about its employee giving, volunteering, and interests. UWCA’s pledge capture system (a) permits UWCA to configure aspects of Company’s United Way campaign and (b) permits Company access to the pledge capture services and to manage their United Way campaigns. The System may also include donor and volunteer engagement tools.

4. SYSTEM UPGRADES AND UPDATES. The System is in beta mode and still being tested. UWCA may upgrade or update System features and functionality at any time without notice, but UWCA will use reasonable efforts to notify Company in advance of any updates materially affecting access to the System or reducing or removing System functionality or features. UWCA anticipates that the System will generally be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but does not guarantee that the System or any particular feature of it will be available for access at any particular time or amount of time. 

5. PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY. UWCA will collect, use, and maintain the security and privacy of Personally identifiable information as described in the eServices Privacy and Security Statement. Each party shall use information disclosed by the other and reasonably considered confidential or proprietary only in connection with its performance under this Agreement or as stated in the eServices Privacy and Security Statement. 

6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Nothing in this Agreement transfers ownership of any intellectual property rights. Company retains ownership of its employee or company data and UWCA retains ownership of the System.

7. THIRD PARTY ACCESS TO THE SERVICES
A. Use by End Users.  As used in this Agreement, the term “End User” shall mean any individual who rightfully obtains access to the System, either by registering to become an End User, or by having Company deliver to UWCA registration information related to such End User, in each event resulting in UWCA having a record of the registration of that End User and acknowledging that they are authorized to use the System. End Users include, without limitation, employees, contractors, agents or volunteers of the Company who gain access to the System by virtue of their relationship with Company. Company (or a designated user) shall establish user identification(s) and password(s) (“User id” and “Password”) to permit use of the non-public functions of the System in accordance with this Agreement.  

B. Access.  UWCA grants Company and its eligible End Users a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the System for the purposes described in this Agreement and subject to the terms of this Agreement.

C. Authorized Use. Company shall have the right to allow its End Users to access and use the System, solely for purposes of implementing, tracking, effecting, and participating in Company’s internal charitable fund raising campaign and for other donor or volunteer engagement activities. Company may also, with prior notice to and cooperation of UWCA, allow limited number of administrative personnel to have greater access to certain portions of the System designed solely for Company’s record keeping, reporting, legal compliance, and charitable fund raising and donation campaign oversight purposes. Company shall not in any manner sublicense, share, or transfer in whole or in part its right to use the System. 

8. COMPANY SETUP. Each year Company shall complete a Company Setup Form (located on UWCA’s Epledge website: https://www.uwca.org/for-companies/toolkit/epledge/) to provide information about Company’s campaign necessary for UWCA to administer the Services for Company and its End Users.  

9. LOCAL UNITED WAY OVERHEAD COSTS. There is no cost to Company for access to the System or for UWCA’s services in maintaining the System and supporting Company’s users. All United Ways across the country incur costs associated with running their operations and are subject to certain common standards set by United Way Worldwide related to calculation of fundraising and overhead expenses, and UWCA will apply these national standards to all employee pledges and cost share with local United Ways.


Company acknowledges that the System is subject to UWCA’s eServices Privacy and Security Statement and that the Company has received and reviewed such statement. By clicking on “Submit” below, Company’s representative represents that they are a duly authorized representative of the Company or has otherwise obtained all required approvals to execute this Agreement as of the Effective Date.

Our pledge form could contain your name, address, zip code, email address, pledge amount, pledge type, and, if applicable, information directing your pledge to be used in a targeted service area or paid to a specified agency. If you participate in an employer-sponsored My Way pledge campaign, we will also provide the information we collect to your employer. We may also receive information from your employer about the pledge amounts necessary to reach certain donation thresholds; we do not use this information for any purpose other than presenting pledge options to you.

SECURITY

We have established and maintain security standards and procedures to protect our users’ information.

UWCA has created a registration and log-in process so that your personal profile is password-protected and can be accessed only by you or a person authorized by the UWCA. You should always log-out when you are done with your session so that others cannot access your account. You are solely responsible for protecting the security of your password.


For donors who pledge online, upon request, we will send an email confirmation of their pledge. Due to the nature of the internet and our lack of control over your email host, we cannot guarantee the security of this email correspondence.

UWCA staff and volunteers who have access to such information are subject to a confidentiality agreement that prohibits them from disclosing your information to third parties (except as described above) during and after their employment or volunteer work with UWCA.

We ask that any breach of private information be reported to UWCA within in 24 hours by emailing eservices@uwca.org.


My Way usernames and passwords should not be shared with any other persons.

A donor’s pledge information is considered to be private information and should be disclosed without prior consent of the donor.
