Ribon is a platform that puts donation in people’s digital routine through donation tickets that allow anyone to donate following a few simple steps. This is how the platform manages to raise funds for social projects, encourage a global culture of giving and make people happier.
It is a unique and innovative framework, created by the Ribon team, developed interactively since 2016 and awarded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and IDEO as one of the 10 most innovative platforms in the world in the donation market.
To do this, the Ribon platform uses the Ribon protocol so that USDC donation tickets are financed by values resulting from a cumulative fund (donation pool) composed of contributions made by promoters, users or entities that wish to put money in the donation pool. Only selected charities can redeem USDC from the donation pool after having tickets earmarked for them. USDC donation pools are always locked into our smart contracts, so there is no way for users or integrators to use or sell them on the open market or any other protocol.
Integration partners are important Ribon agents and access the Ribon protocol through the Ribon platform. Integrations distribute donation tickets for specific actions taken on their platform. They are varied and diverse, and each integration can customize the experience to meet your specific needs, whether aiming to increase some metric, but also as a reward for loyal customers or for tasks that are important on their platforms.
The Ribon platform offers its users a customer service, via the Internet, through which they have access to all the information mentioned above, among others. However, it should be noted that it is not a broker (exchange) and therefore is not responsible for the allocation of assets allocated in the user’s wallet.
Careful reading of all information is of fundamental importance for monitoring and making donations through the Ribon platform.
If you cannot access any of the information, the user must contact Ribon support through the application or via email: contato@ribon.io
By proceeding and using the platform, the user is aware of the information provided above, as well as the risks involved in operations involving digital assets on decentralized blockchain platforms.

How to access Ribon
Ribon provides free and paid services as defined below.
The user will be allowed to make a single paid donation, as well as subscriptions available through paid plan(s) upon advance payment for subscribing to the plan. If the day on which the payment is made is not repeated every month (for example: 31st), the payment will be charged on the business day before the one that would eventually occur if that date existed in the month in question (for example: 28th or 30th). There will be automatic renewal of the plan, unless you manifest otherwise requesting cancellation, before the billing date.
The subscription cancellation to the plan can be carried out at any time by the user and will be understood as an express manifestation that he does not intend to renew the license in the next period not yet accounted for billing purposes. The cancellation does not entail any obligation to Ribon to return the payment for the month in which the user chose not to renew the contractual relationship.
We at Ribon know that each of the plans is more suitable for the impact you want and can afford at the moment. With that in mind, we offer you the possibility to switch between plans (subject to changes in the availability of resources offered by each one), editing or upgrading/downgrading your subscription. It is important to emphasize that the user who wants to cancel or leave the Paid Versions will not lose his account or the generated content, he will only become a free plan user, losing access to the previously offered features.
