B- THE AGREEMENT
THE AGREEMENT may be freely updated by YFSE when deemed appropriate, taking immediate effect from the moment it is published on THE SITE. YFSE is not obligated to announce these updates through any additional means.
YFSE does not obligate USERS to perform any activity on THE SITE, and USERS who do not accept THE AGREEMENT may use THE SITE at their own risk. It is assumed that USERS accept the terms established in THE AGREEMENT; otherwise, YFSE is not responsible for the usage and resulting consequences.
C- INTELLECTUAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY
THE SITE allows USERS to access, learn about, and use YFSE’s programs exclusively for personal and environmental purposes, without commercial intent. USERS may not copy, publish, commercialize, reproduce, adapt, or modify THE SITE, nor use or commercially exploit its content without written authorization from YFSE.
D- PRIOR CONSIDERATIONS
YFSE has procedures in place to certify that educational and technical information is clear and accurate. In the event of an error beyond our control, it will be corrected immediately.
E- DONATION
A donation is the act of giving funds or material goods for reasons of solidarity between two individuals or legal entities. For the purposes of this document, the term DONATION will be interpreted according to this definition.
F- DONATIONS TO YFSE
Donations to YFSE can only be made in U.S. dollars. There are two types of donations: PERSONAL and CORPORATE. Individuals or legal entities may choose from suggested amounts to make DONATIONS to YFSE or donate the amount they wish in the OTHER category. Depending on the amount donated, the donor may receive digital incentives expressly provided by YFSE as a token of appreciation.
E1- CLARIFICATION ABOUT DONATIONS TO YFSE
The Tax Administration of the Ministry of Finance ratifies letter No. D-832 of December 1, 2003, authorizing YFSE to receive tax-deductible donations as an expense from the donor’s gross income. YFSE will issue the corresponding receipt, signed or stamped by the receiving bank with YFSE’s registered account. This receipt must be retained for presentation to the Tax Administration when necessary.
TRANSACTION SECURITY
At YFSE, we ensure that every transaction is 100% secure. The transmission of personal or banking data is conducted in a secure environment. YFSE uses a secure server based on SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. Credit or debit card data is recorded only by financial institutions and is not stored in our database to ensure maximum security.
G- DIGITAL INCENTIVES
As a token of appreciation, donors may receive digital incentives based on the amount donated, which may include but are not limited to digital certificates of participation, digital recognition badges, access to exclusive eBooks, or other digital materials related to YFSE programs.
YFSE reserves the right to modify the incentives offered according to availability and ongoing campaigns. These incentives are personal, non-transferable, and have no commercial value. Incentives will be sent to the email address provided by the USER during the donation process.
H- CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY
Due to the nature of donations, they are final and non-refundable. YFSE does not accept refund requests once the donation process is completed, as funds are immediately allocated to the foundation’s programs and activities. However, if an error occurs in the donation processing, the USER may contact YFSE via the email provided on THE SITE to receive assistance.
I- DATA SECURITY AND PRIVACY
YFSE is committed to protecting the privacy of its USERS’ personal data. All information collected during the donation process is used exclusively for the purposes outlined in THE AGREEMENT and in accordance with our Privacy Policies.

For added security, USERS should review the privacy policies of the entities YFSE collaborates with.
