12. MARKET TERRITORIES

12.1 The Latestsale.com Foundation Website, latestsale.org has been created using assets and content that is specific to the United States of America. The Site is presented “as is” and may therefore not be suitable for all market territories. Should you as a user of the Site find that the Site is not applicable to your needs, or should the Site not be fully accessible or operational in the territory where you reside, we invite you to leave the Site and follow all local laws in your home territory. 

13. PRICES OF GOODS/SERVICES

13.1 All prices for the Foundation’s branded charity goods and/or services that We sell to you on the Site exclude sales taxes, packaging and delivery costs that will be quoted in USD at checkout. Sales taxes and dispatch costs will be calculated at the time of checkout once the user’s billing and delivery address has been confirmed. 

14. DONATION TYPES

14.1 Latestsale.com Foundation operates four donation types on the latestsale.org Site. These are listed as follows; (i) “No Gifts” Donations, (ii) Quid Pro Quo Donation Contributions,                   (iii) Insubstantial Token Gifts (Safe Harbor), and (iv) Token Gifts (Safe Harbor).

14.2 We Issue (v) Low Cost Gift Articles (Safe Harbor) as complimentary gifts to prospective donors by way of solicitation. These free Low Cost Gift Articles (Safe Harbor) are not related to any consolidated financial transaction or donation alongside the complimentary gift and therefore do not form part of any donation transaction.

14.3 All gift-related donations only appear on the Site as and when new charity gifts become available. Should no active Gift Shop tab appear on the Site, donors can continue to donate and support our cause with “NO GIFT” donations by following the “Donate Tab.”

15. “NO GIFTS” DONATIONS

15.1 Where a Donor makes a conventional donation on the Site and no Goods or Services are exchanged as part of that financial transaction, We will issue the donor with a “No Goods” donation receipt. The donation in this case will be fully tax deductible*.  Donors can claim a full tax deduction for a “no gifts” donation, by presenting the receipt to the IRS with the explicitly shared declaration duly stated on the receipt: “No goods or services were provided in exchange for this contribution.”

*Note, although there is no maximum limit to how much you can donate to Us (Latestsale.com Foundation), as a verified IRS-approved 501(c)(3) organization, We still advise donors to reach out to their tax advisors for any donation over $10,000 due to IRS enforced deduction limits applied to personal tax returns and reporting thresholds. These limits are wholly dependent on the size of your contribution.

16. QUID PRO QUO DONATION CONTRIBUTIONS

16.1 In cases where charity goods and /or services are made available on the Site and are paid for as part of the donation, We warrant that We will provide a written disclosure statement to the donor for each transaction in excess of $75 indicating a good faith estimate of the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the goods or services provided to the donor. This Quid Pro Quo Donation disclosure will also be issued in cases where the FMV of the gift/ service exceeds 2% of the donation and is expected to or is calculated as surpassing $136. A calculation for how goods/services in excess of $136 is demonstrated in Clause 16.8.

16.2 Any and all Quid Pro Quo donation contributions paid to Latestsale.com Foundation by the donor will be discharged in conjunction with token and low-cost gifts/ services as well as higher priced goods such as charity fundraiser gala tickets. In such cases, goods/ services are offered to donors who present donative intent (gifting of the total transactional value that will be greater than the value of the goods/services). In such instances, donations are tax deductible to the extent of the value deducted from the total donation paid. For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation used for tax deductible Quid Pro Quo contributions is, Tax Deductible Amount = Total Payment – (minus/ subtract) Fair Market Value (FMV) of gift/service received.

16.3 Donors should also seek advice from their tax specialist in relation to aggregate or individual Quid Pro Quo donation contributions to the value of $250 or more in a single fiscal year.

16.4 For donations over $250, Latestsale.com Foundation will provide each donor with a combined Contemporaneous Written Acknowledgment (CWA) and the Quid Pro Quo Disclosure as one single document. This merged acknowledgment record must be attached to your end of year income tax return in order that you receive your deduction in full.

16.5 For the benefit of doubt and convenience, Latestsale.com Foundation displays on the Gift Shop section of the latestsale.org Site, the FMV (Fair Market Value) of the Quid Pro Quo Donation Contribution gift/service alongside the donation amount for ease of verification before you issue your donation to Us.

16.6 In instances where Our branded charity goods and/or services with a value less than $136 are made accessible on the Site and are paid for as part of a Quid Pro Quo Donation contribution, We warrant that We will clearly indicate the FMV of the gift/service on the receipt, and We will mark on the donation contribution docket provided to the donor that, “Under Internal Revenue Service guidelines, the estimated value of the benefits received is not substantial; therefore, the full amount of your payment is a deductible contribution minus the value of the goods provided.”
