These terms of service describe the service that BT provides which allows you to make donations to The Supporters Club within Comic Relief through your BT bill.
BT is authorised to collect donations and to reclaim Gift Aid on behalf of Comic Relief under the UK government's Gift Aid scheme.

You may choose to donate recurring monthly amounts of £1, £3 or £5 to The Supporters Club Fund.
Your monthly donation will appear on your bill. The billing and payment terms that apply to your other BT services also apply to your monthly donation. Your monthly donation is non-refundable.
You must be a BT customer in order to donate to The Supporters Club Fund through your BT bill. Your monthly donation will cease if you or we cancel your BT services.

BT is not responsible for any dissatisfaction you may have regarding Comic Relief's use of any donation you may make through The Supporters Club.

Neither The Supporters Club, nor Comic Relief charge any fees for using this service.

You may change or cancel your monthly donation to The Supporters Club at any time by contacting BT. The change or cancellation may not be reflected straight away on your next available BT bill but any change or cancellation will be backdated to take effect from the date we received your instruction. These terms of service will continue to apply to past use by you.
BT reserves the right to cancel your monthly donation at any time without notice.

BT reserves the right to suspend or discontinue The Supporters Club and cease your donations at any time with or without notice.
BT's commitment to match every £1 you donate may be withdrawn at any time without notice.

You agree to notify BT if your name or address changes.
If you need to contact BT, please use the address on your last bill or any other postal address, e-mail address or phone number we have given to you for that purpose. If we need to contact you we will use your billing address, e-mail address, mobile or fixed phone number.

When you donate to The Supporters Club and confirm that you are a UK taxpayer in accordance with the requirements of the Gift Aid scheme as they apply from time to time, BT reclaims Gift Aid under the Gift Aid scheme. To qualify for Gift Aid you must pay an amount of UK Income and/or Capital Gains Tax that is at least equal to the tax that BT (and all other charities and Community Amateur Sports Clubs that you donate to) will reclaim on your donations in that tax year. Council Tax and VAT do not count for Gift Aid purposes. If your circumstances change and you no longer pay sufficient tax, or your name or address changes, you should notify BT.
BT is not an accounting, taxation or financial advisor, and you should not rely on information given on The Supporters Club website to determine the accounting, tax or financial consequences of making a donation to The Supporters Club. We strongly recommend that you consult your own adviser(s) about any accounting, taxation or financial consequences that may affect you.

The personal information which we ask you to give us when making your donation will be used by us in connection with processing your payment. Any personal information given to BT to enable BT to reclaim Gift Aid will be passed to HM Revenue and Customs for this purpose.
