In one paragraph
30% of the value of every tip, bit, sub, Super Chat and KICK made while Eggsolace is live is pledged to the charity shown on the charity page. The pledges are counted by the stream's software. The operator pays the pledged amount to the charity separately and publishes the date and a receipt for every payout.
Who is making the pledge
[OPERATOR NAME] ("we"), [POSTAL ADDRESS]. Platforms such as YouTube, Twitch and Kick do not make, check or guarantee the pledge.
Which charity
The current charity and the ones lined up next are named on the charity page, with each goal. Charities are named [with their permission / under a written agreement: owner to confirm per charity and country]. When a charity reaches its goal, the next one in the queue starts. If no other charity is lined up, the pledge keeps going to the last one.
The percentage, and what it is a percentage of
- The percentage is 30%. If it ever changes, the charity page and this page show the new number from that moment on.
- It is 30% of the value of the tip as the stream counts it: tips and Super Chats at the stream's exchange rate, bits and KICKs at one US cent each, subscriptions and memberships at the price viewers pay. We call this the egg value.
- It is not 30% of what the operator receives. Platforms keep their own fees and payment providers keep theirs, so the operator receives less than the egg value. [Owner: confirm that you want to pledge on the gross value.]
- Simulated or test tips never count.
- Amounts are tracked to the cent in US dollars. Other currencies are converted at the stream's own rate, which can differ from the real rate on the day.
Pledged is not paid
"Pledged" means promised. Money moves from the operator to the charity when a payout is made, and not before. Each payout appears on the charity page under "Payouts and receipts" with its date, its amount and a receipt. [Owner: state when you pay, for example within X days after a charity reaches its goal.] Until a payout shows up, treat any amount as a promise.
While the egg's total is secret
After an egg reaches its goal, its total is hidden until it hatches. The charity numbers wait with it: they stop moving and catch up at the hatch. Some of the time only a bar is shown. Nothing is lost; it is just shown later.
Records
Every pledge, correction and payout is recorded. Corrections happen, for example when a platform reverses a tip: the pledge is reversed with it. [Owner: state how long records are kept and who can inspect them.]
What this is not
- A tip is a payment to the streamer. It is not a donation to the charity and it is not tax-deductible for you. To give to the charity yourself, use its own website.
- We do not promise a result such as "this will feed 100 animals". We state amounts pledged and paid.
- Rules for advertising "X% to charity" differ by country and state (they are sometimes called commercial co-venture or commercial participator rules). [Owner / lawyer: list the registrations, agreements and notices you need for the places you stream to.]
