IMPORTANT NOTES:

1) Unclaimed Money: RF raises funds for different causes and in some cases, it might happen that the beneficiary does not claim the raised funds for some reasons. RF payout team will keep on contacting the beneficiary through Message, Call, Email, physical appearance for a certain amount of time. If there is no response or if the beneficiary does not wish to claim the raised amount, then it goes to the category of “Unclaimed Fund”. For any raised funds that remains unclaimed by the beneficiary for more than 3 months, then on the discretion of Team RF that amount might be used for the administrative costs and office expenses of RF or for any other cause at RF.

2) Surplus Amount: By “Surplus Amount” here we mean that amount of the fund-raised that exceeds the goal amount. For such extra amount (surplus amount) that is raised, RF reserve rights to put in into a “Surplus amount raise” category and that amount would be utilized for the administrative costs and office expenses of RF or for any other cause at RF.

3) Large Donations: Large amount of donations that are being done by "Direct Bank Transfer" are subjected to save 2% cost that the Razor pay deducts.
