MosqueMe Mosque Admin Terms
Last Updated: 22 June 2026 Document Version: Legal review draft 0.11 Status: Draft for solicitor review before Pay Now launch
These Mosque Admin Terms apply to any Mosque Admin, mosque representative, charity trustee, officer, employee, volunteer, imam, supervisor, or authorised user who creates, edits, approves, publishes, manages, moderates, or receives access to mosque, member, community, service, or fundraising tools through MosqueMe.
If you are promoted to Mosque Admin, MosqueMe may sign you out and require you to sign in again and accept these terms before admin features become active. If you do not accept these terms, you may remain a normal member or lose access to admin features.
These terms should be read with the MosqueMe Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, Donation & Payment Terms, and any Stripe Connected Account terms or Payment Provider terms that apply.
MosqueMe is provided by Ahmad Kawsar, matching the operator identity used in the MosqueMe Terms & Conditions. For support, use the support route shown in MosqueMe or on the help site. For privacy matters, see the MosqueMe Privacy Policy.
This page is a legal-review draft. It is not legal advice and should be reviewed by a UK charity, payments, consumer, fundraising, and data-protection solicitor before MosqueMe accepts real-money donations.
1. Scope of These Terms
These terms cover:
- admin authority, admin roles, permissions, and account security;
- mosque and admin verification;
- use of mosque member, admin, donor, service, and community data;
- mosque profile information, prayer timetables, Jumuah times, Eid times, Hijri calendar data, and related mosque schedules;
- mosque notices, announcements, posts, registration posts, event posts, fundraiser posts, media uploads, AI-assisted drafts, notifications, and community content;
- mosque services, service requests, bookings, availability, service documents, service terms, fees, deposits, cancellations, restrictions, and bans;
- member management, admin management, messages, moderation, reports, safety handling, exports, downloads, screenshots, and audit logs;
- fundraising and Pay Now responsibilities if enabled;
- Stripe or Payment Provider onboarding if enabled;
- donor records, refunds, chargebacks, Gift Aid, and fundraising compliance if enabled; and
- suspension, records, audit, complaints, and liability.
Some sections apply only if your mosque or charity uses Pay Now fundraising or donation tools. Other sections apply to all Mosque Admin use.
2. Authority to Act
By using MosqueMe admin features, you confirm that:
- you are authorised to act for the mosque, charity, trust, CIO, association, or charitable organisation you represent;
- you have permission from the trustees, committee, directors, or lawful decision-makers of that organisation to use MosqueMe admin tools;
- where you create or manage a campaign, you have permission to create and manage that campaign through MosqueMe;
- you will provide true, current, and complete information;
- you will not create or manage a mosque profile, admin account, campaign, or donation flow for a mosque or charity without permission;
- you will keep your MosqueMe account secure and will not share admin access with unauthorised people; and
- you will tell MosqueMe immediately if your authority changes or ends.
MosqueMe may require proof of authority before enabling admin access, before enabling donations, and at any time after approval.
3. Verification Requirements
Before a standard mosque admin account is activated, MosqueMe may require verification of your identity, contact details, and connection to the mosque.
Before a Pay Now campaign can go live, MosqueMe will require minimum verification of admin authority, recipient identity, payout status, campaign purpose, fee disclosure, and admin confirmation. MosqueMe may require additional checks depending on risk.
Verification may include:
- admin full name, role, phone number, and email address;
- photo ID or identity confirmation for the admin;
- proof that the admin is connected to the mosque or charity;
- official mosque email confirmation, trustee or committee letter, meeting minute, signed authority letter, or other authority proof;
- mosque or charity legal name;
- public mosque name;
- charity number, company number, CIO number, trust details, or other registration details where applicable;
- mosque or charity address;
- website or public profile;
- Stripe connected account ID if Pay Now is enabled;
- Stripe
charges_enabledandpayouts_enabledstatus if Pay Now is enabled; - Stripe legal entity name and payout status if Pay Now is enabled;
- payout account bank name and last four digits where Stripe provides them;
- proof that the payout account belongs to the mosque or charity where needed;
- campaign title, purpose, target, end date, and use-of-funds wording; and
- admin confirmation before publishing.
MosqueMe may refuse, pause, or remove admin or fundraising access if verification is incomplete, inconsistent, expired, disputed, suspicious, or no longer satisfactory.
4. Admin Account Security
You are responsible for keeping your MosqueMe admin account, device, sign-in provider, and verification methods secure.
You must not:
- share admin access with unauthorised people;
- use another person's account;
- allow a personal assistant, volunteer, trustee, imam, employee, or contractor to use your account unless MosqueMe has approved that person as an authorised admin;
- bypass admin approval or verification controls; or
- continue using admin access after your authority has ended.
Tell MosqueMe immediately if your admin account, device, email, phone number, sign-in provider, or Payment Provider account may have been compromised.
4.1 Admin Roles, Permissions, and Least Access
MosqueMe may support different admin levels and permissions, including permission to manage posts, prayer times, services, events, notifications, members, and regular admins.
Main admins, mosque supervisors, trustees, committee members, or other authorised decision-makers must grant admin access only to people who are genuinely authorised by the mosque or charity and need that access for their role.
You must:
- use only the admin permissions given to you;
- stay within the mosque or charity you are authorised to manage;
- grant the minimum access reasonably needed for each admin role;
- remove, suspend, or update admin access promptly when an admin leaves, changes role, loses authority, or no longer needs access;
- not promote, demote, suspend, block, remove, or restrict members or admins for personal reasons, retaliation, discrimination, harassment, or any unlawful reason;
- not use admin permissions to access information out of curiosity or for a non-mosque purpose; and
- keep a clear internal record of important admin decisions where appropriate.
MosqueMe may log, review, restrict, or reverse admin actions where needed for security, safety, legal compliance, user protection, app-store compliance, or platform integrity.
5. Mosque Information, Prayer Times, Posts, Services, and Content
The Mosque Admin and the mosque or charity are responsible for information and content submitted through admin tools.
Admin-submitted content must be accurate, lawful, clear, and not misleading. This includes:
- prayer timetables;
- Jumuah sessions;
- Eid sessions;
- Hijri calendar entries;
- mosque details;
- opening times;
- announcements;
- community posts;
- registration posts;
- event posts;
- service notices;
- service descriptions, availability, documents, terms, fees, deposits, and cancellation information;
- event details;
- fundraiser posts;
- campaign descriptions;
- push notifications and announcement text;
- AI-assisted drafts after admin review;
- images, videos, audio, and files;
- bank or payout information where shown; and
- responses to members, donors, or service users.
You must not post content that is unlawful, fraudulent, misleading, abusive, discriminatory, defamatory, unsafe, extremist, privacy-infringing, copyright-infringing, or contrary to MosqueMe's Terms & Conditions.
MosqueMe may review, moderate, hide, redact, reject, remove, restrict, or report admin content where reasonably necessary for safety, legal compliance, platform integrity, app-store rules, donor protection, or user protection.
5.1 Mosque Profile, Prayer Timetables, and Calendars
The Mosque Admin and mosque or charity are responsible for checking the accuracy of mosque profile information, prayer timetables, prayer calculation settings, Jumuah sessions, Eid sessions, Hijri calendar data, timetable uploads, manual overrides, and calendar corrections before publishing.
Where an admin uploads, edits, imports, maps, previews, approves, exports, or publishes timetable or calendar data, the admin must take reasonable care to check:
- mosque name, address, location, timezone, latitude, longitude, elevation, and calculation settings;
- method, Asr setting, high-latitude setting, offsets, adhaan times, start times, jamaah times, and manual overrides;
- Jumuah sessions, Eid sessions, Ramadan entries, Hijri dates, and special calendar entries;
- CSV, image, PDF, OCR, website, or other imported timetable data before publication; and
- any warning, mismatch, or uncertainty shown by the App before publishing.
MosqueMe does not independently guarantee the religious, legal, or operational accuracy of prayer times or calendar entries. If precision is important, members should confirm directly with the mosque. Admins must correct known mistakes promptly and must not knowingly publish timetable or calendar data that is false, outdated, or misleading.
5.2 Posts, Events, Registrations, Fundraisers, Media, and Notifications
Admins are responsible for every announcement, post, event, registration flow, fundraiser post, image, video, audio file, attachment, message, notification, or other content they create, edit, approve, publish, pin, share, or remove.
You must:
- have permission to publish the content on behalf of the mosque or charity;
- check dates, times, locations, capacity, eligibility, contact details, campaign details, and cancellation information before publishing;
- not publish private personal data, sensitive data, service details, donor details, member details, images of people, images of children, or safeguarding information unless you have a lawful basis and any required permission;
- not upload or publish content that infringes copyright, trade marks, privacy rights, confidentiality, or another person's rights;
- obtain appropriate permission before using photos, videos, logos, recitations, nasheeds, documents, posters, or other media;
- use pinned posts, push notifications, and repeated announcements responsibly and not for spam, harassment, pressure, or unrelated promotion;
- ensure event and registration information is clear about who is responsible for the real-world event, attendance, capacity, safety, eligibility, cancellation, and follow-up; and
- promptly update or remove content that becomes inaccurate, unsafe, unlawful, misleading, or no longer authorised.
If you use AI-assisted drafting or rewriting tools, you remain responsible for the final content. AI output is only a suggestion. You must review it for accuracy, tone, religious appropriateness, privacy, lawfulness, and suitability before publishing. Do not put unnecessary personal, sensitive, safeguarding, health, donor, member, or confidential mosque information into AI prompts.
5.3 Services, Requests, Bookings, Documents, Fees, Availability, and Bans
Where MosqueMe provides mosque service tools, the Mosque Admin and mosque or charity are responsible for the services offered and for real-world handling of service requests, bookings, availability, assignments, documents, checklists, cancellations, restrictions, and user communications.
You must ensure that service information is accurate and clear, including:
- what the service is;
- who provides it;
- eligibility rules;
- required documents or information;
- approximate response times;
- availability;
- fees, deposits, refunds, and payment instructions where applicable;
- cancellation or rescheduling rules;
- whether a booking is confirmed, pending, declined, cancelled, or completed; and
- who the user should contact for urgent or offline support.
Admins must not request unnecessary documents or sensitive information. Documents, service requests, notes, ban reasons, cancellation reasons, personal availability, and service messages must be handled securely and only by authorised people who need access.
Any service ban, restriction, refusal, cancellation, decline, member removal, or similar decision must be proportionate, lawful, non-discriminatory, honest, and based on a legitimate mosque or safety reason. Where appropriate, the mosque should keep an internal record of the reason.
Unless MosqueMe expressly states otherwise, MosqueMe provides workflow tools only. The mosque or charity remains responsible for delivering the real-world service, setting service rules, handling users fairly, and complying with any legal, safeguarding, charitable, consumer, employment, volunteer, premises, insurance, tax, or accounting duties that apply.
5.4 Moderation, Reports, Safety, and Safeguarding
Mosque Admins may receive reports, concerns, service issues, messages, member complaints, or other information that requires action. You must handle reports and concerns promptly, fairly, confidentially, and proportionately.
Where a concern involves immediate danger, child safety, vulnerable adults, harassment, abuse, fraud, violence, self-harm, criminal conduct, safeguarding, or other serious risk, the mosque or charity is responsible for taking appropriate real-world action, including contacting emergency services, safeguarding leads, trustees, regulators, or law-enforcement authorities where required.
You must not retaliate against a user for making a good-faith report, complaint, service request, refund request, data request, or safety concern.
6. Member, Donor, and Community Data
The Mosque Admin and mosque or charity may receive limited member, service, donor, or donation information for legitimate mosque, charity, support, audit, safeguarding, fraud prevention, accounting, Gift Aid, refund, chargeback, or community purposes.
You must:
- use personal data only for lawful mosque, charity, donation, service, support, audit, or compliance purposes;
- not use member or donor data for unrelated marketing unless you have a valid lawful basis and any required consent;
- not sell, rent, share, export, or copy member or donor data for unrelated purposes;
- keep data secure and restrict access to authorised people only;
- respect public anonymity choices;
- understand that public anonymity does not remove internal record-keeping duties;
- handle religion-linked donation data as sensitive and, where applicable, special-category data;
- handle optional gender, service request, support, safeguarding, health-related, or vulnerable-person information with extra care; and
- comply with UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, PECR, and any applicable EU GDPR obligations.
6.1 Member and Admin Management Data
Admin tools may allow authorised admins to view, search, or manage mosque members and other admins. Depending on the feature and permission level, this may include names, profile photos, email addresses, phone numbers, member status, admin status, roles, permissions, mosque links, account identifiers, verification indicators, sign-in provider information, service activity, participation records, check-in or attendance-related records, technical support data, or other admin-visible information.
You must access this information only where needed for a legitimate mosque, App, support, service, safety, audit, or compliance purpose. You must not browse, copy, screenshot, export, message, profile, compare, or disclose member or admin information for curiosity, gossip, pressure, discrimination, personal benefit, unrelated marketing, or any non-mosque purpose.
Where you send messages, reset check-ins, view technical support data, suspend access, block a member, remove a member, promote an admin, demote an admin, change admin permissions, or take similar admin action, you must have a legitimate reason and you must act fairly, lawfully, and consistently with mosque authority.
6.2 Exports, Downloads, Screenshots, and Off-App Sharing
Some admin tools may allow viewing, exporting, downloading, copying, or sharing information, including reports, registrant lists, service request details, fundraiser contribution records, audit records, timetable files, documents, CSV files, PDFs, or screenshots.
You must treat exported or copied information as confidential. You must:
- export or download information only where genuinely needed;
- store exported information securely;
- restrict access to authorised mosque personnel only;
- avoid saving mosque member, donor, or service data on personal devices, personal cloud accounts, public computers, or unsecured messaging apps unless the mosque has assessed and approved that handling;
- not share member, donor, service, admin, or support information through WhatsApp, email, spreadsheets, printed copies, or other off-App channels unless there is a lawful reason and appropriate security;
- delete or return exported information when it is no longer needed, unless retention is required by law, accounting, safeguarding, audit, Gift Aid, dispute, or charity-record obligations; and
- report suspected data loss, unauthorised access, accidental disclosure, or misuse to MosqueMe and to the mosque's responsible person promptly.
MosqueMe is not responsible for the mosque or charity's off-App handling of data once an admin exports, copies, screenshots, prints, downloads, or shares it outside MosqueMe.
6.3 Special Care for Sensitive Information
MosqueMe is built around mosque, Islamic, and community use. Information about mosque membership, donations to a mosque or religious charity, religious service requests, optional gender, safeguarding, health-related needs, family circumstances, vulnerable-person details, and similar information may be sensitive and may in some cases be special-category data under UK GDPR.
Admins must handle this information with extra care, collect only what is necessary, limit access, avoid unnecessary disclosure, and use it only for the specific mosque, service, safety, donation, support, audit, or compliance purpose for which it was provided.
If your mosque or charity handles data outside MosqueMe, your organisation is responsible for that external handling and for its own privacy notices, retention, security, lawful basis, data-subject rights, and legal compliance.
Donation administration, receipts, refunds, fraud prevention, complaints, and Gift Aid are separate from marketing. You must not use donor contact details for unrelated marketing unless permitted by data-protection and electronic-marketing law.
7. Fundraising Guidance Before Pay Now
Before accepting donations through Pay Now, the Mosque Admin must be given access to MosqueMe fundraiser guidance and relevant Fundraising Regulator Code guidance, and must agree to comply with the relevant sections.
The Mosque Admin and recipient must plan each appeal carefully, including:
- who is raising funds;
- who receives the money;
- what the money is for;
- whether the appeal is for a specific restricted purpose or a broader mosque/charity purpose;
- what happens if the target is exceeded;
- what happens if the target is not reached;
- what happens if the stated purpose becomes impossible, impractical, or unlawful;
- whether funds may be used for wider charitable purposes;
- how refund requests will be handled; and
- what records must be kept.
MosqueMe may require campaign wording changes before a campaign becomes active.
8. Stripe Connected Account and Payouts
Each mosque or charity using Pay Now fundraising must complete Stripe onboarding or another approved Payment Provider onboarding flow.
The connected account must belong to the mosque, charity, or charitable organisation receiving the donations. Personal bank accounts must not be used for MosqueMe Pay Now charitable fundraising.
The Mosque Admin and recipient are responsible for:
- completing Payment Provider onboarding accurately;
- accepting and complying with Payment Provider terms;
- keeping payout details up to date;
- ensuring the connected account can lawfully receive donations;
- responding to verification requests, KYC checks, sanctions checks, recipient refund requests, disputes, chargebacks, and Payment Provider enquiries;
- maintaining enough balance or returning funds where refunds, chargebacks, or reversals are required; and
- telling MosqueMe if the payout account changes, is closed, is suspended, or no longer belongs to the recipient.
The recipient is responsible for donation-refund decisions, disputes, chargebacks, reversals, negative balances, reserve requirements, failed payouts, Stripe account restrictions, and Payment Provider fees allocated to the recipient or arising from its campaign, unless caused by MosqueMe's proven technical error or unless law or Payment Provider rules require a different result.
9. Campaign Publishing Confirmation
Before publishing a Pay Now campaign, MosqueMe may show a confirmation screen. The Mosque Admin may be required to confirm:
- Money will be paid to: recipient legal name.
- Payout account: bank name and account ending digits, where available.
- Status: payouts enabled.
- Campaign type: Pledge Only, Pay Now, or both.
- MosqueMe Platform Fee: shown to donor before payment.
- Payment Processing Fee: shown or estimated before payment.
- Campaign purpose: authorised by the mosque or charity.
- Admin confirmation: "I confirm this fundraiser is authorised by the mosque and funds will be used for the stated purpose."
Do not publish a campaign unless all displayed details are accurate and authorised.
10. Campaign Accuracy and Use of Funds
The Mosque Admin and recipient are responsible for every campaign they submit or approve.
Each campaign must be accurate, lawful, clear, and not misleading. It must explain:
- who is raising funds;
- who receives the money;
- the campaign purpose;
- whether the campaign is for a specific restricted purpose or a broader mosque/charity purpose;
- the target amount, if any;
- the end date, if any;
- what happens if the campaign raises more than the target;
- what happens if the campaign does not reach the target;
- what happens if the stated purpose becomes impossible, impractical, or unlawful;
- whether Gift Aid is enabled after recipient eligibility checks;
- any Zakat, Sadaqah, Waqf, Fidya, Kaffarah, or other religious classification shown; and
- any material conditions, limits, or risks donors should know before donating.
Donations raised for a specific purpose must be used only for that purpose unless charity law, the campaign wording, donor consent, or regulator authority allows a different use.
MosqueMe does not decide whether a campaign is eligible for Zakat, Sadaqah, Waqf, Fidya, Kaffarah, or any other religious category. The recipient is responsible for any religious classification shown on the campaign page.
11. Fees and Donor Transparency
MosqueMe may charge a disclosed Platform Fee for operating and supporting fundraising. Fees must be shown to donors before payment details are requested.
MosqueMe uses an add-on fee model for Pay Now donations: total payment = donation amount + MosqueMe Platform Fee + Payment Processing Fee.
The current draft MosqueMe Platform Fee uses a tiered add-on model:
- 1.5% of the first GBP 1,000 of the donation amount;
- 0.5% of the part above GBP 1,000 and up to GBP 10,000;
- 0.1% of the part above GBP 10,000; and
- a minimum MosqueMe Platform Fee of GBP 0.30.
There is currently no maximum cap on the MosqueMe Platform Fee. This Platform Fee is retained by MosqueMe for operating and supporting MosqueMe.
Payment Processing Fees are charged to cover costs charged by Stripe, banks, card networks, wallet providers, or other Payment Providers. MosqueMe must not hide platform revenue inside a Payment Processing Fee.
Donation pages should show clear fee examples, including a small donation example and higher-value examples under the tiered MosqueMe Platform Fee model. Payment Processing Fees must be shown separately or estimated clearly before payment.
The Mosque Admin and recipient agree that MosqueMe may collect its disclosed Platform Fee through the Payment Provider, including by Stripe Connect application fee or another approved method.
The Mosque Admin and recipient must not tell donors that "100% goes to the mosque", "all funds go to the charity", or similar unless all MosqueMe Platform Fees, Stripe fees, card fees, wallet fees, bank fees, and other payment costs are paid separately and the recipient receives the full donation amount.
If a future donor fee, tip, or support amount is optional, it must be genuinely optional and removable before payment.
12. Gift Aid
Gift Aid is disabled unless the recipient has been verified as eligible and the donation page shows a valid Gift Aid declaration for that recipient. Gift Aid applies to the recipient named on the donation page, not to MosqueMe.
MosqueMe does not claim Gift Aid from HMRC and does not decide whether a donation is eligible for Gift Aid. The recipient is responsible for Gift Aid eligibility, declaration wording, HMRC claims, audit trail, tax records, donor explanations, donor questions, corrections, refund or chargeback effects, and HMRC compliance.
MosqueMe may provide platform tools to collect, store, display, export, or pass Gift Aid declaration details to the recipient where Gift Aid is enabled. This platform support does not transfer Gift Aid responsibility from the recipient to MosqueMe.
If Gift Aid is enabled, the recipient confirms that:
- it is eligible to claim Gift Aid;
- it will claim Gift Aid only where legally permitted;
- donor declarations will be valid and auditable;
- donor full name and home address will be handled securely;
- Gift Aid records will be retained for the required period;
- donor Gift Aid questions, changes, cancellations, refund effects, chargeback effects, and tax-record issues will be handled by the recipient;
- marketing consent will not be bundled into Gift Aid consent; and
- it will correct or repay any Gift Aid claim where required.
The recipient must not claim Gift Aid on MosqueMe Platform Fees, Payment Processing Fees, tips, company donations, joint-name declarations, donor benefits, or ineligible donations unless it has confirmed the claim is lawful and has records to support it.
MosqueMe may disable Gift Aid collection for a campaign if eligibility or wording is unclear.
13. Public Donor Lists and Messages
Public contributor lists should show donor names only where the donor has chosen public display. Otherwise, public views should show "Anonymous" or similar wording.
Messages of support should be shown publicly only where the donor has opted in and the message has passed moderation. MosqueMe and Mosque Admins may review, moderate, hide, redact, reject, or remove messages that are unsafe, abusive, unlawful, private, misleading, spam, or unsuitable. MosqueMe and Mosque Admins must not materially change the meaning of a donor message without the donor's consent.
Admin/internal contributor lists may include additional payment details where needed for audit, receipt, Gift Aid, refund, dispute, and support purposes.
14. Refunds, Chargebacks, and Disputes
The recipient is responsible for handling refund requests relating to its campaigns under its own donation acceptance, refusal, return, refund, trustee, charity-law, and accounting policies. MosqueMe does not normally hold the donation amount as the receiving charity, decide recipient refund requests, or fund refunds for the recipient.
The recipient must act as the first-line contact for donor-entered wrong amounts, changed-mind requests, discretionary requests, goodwill requests, campaign-related requests, and questions about how funds will be used. The recipient must not tell donors that MosqueMe will decide or fund those refunds.
Where a donor reports an unauthorised payment, fraud, stolen card, stolen wallet, stolen bank account, or chargeback issue, the recipient should direct the donor to contact their bank, card issuer, or Payment Provider first. The recipient or authorised Mosque Admin should raise the issue with MosqueMe only where platform payment records need review, or where required by law, Payment Provider rules, a regulator, law enforcement, Stripe, a bank, or a card network.
Where a donor reports a payment-system issue, such as a duplicate charge, failed checkout, missing receipt, Stripe reference issue, or amount charged being different from the checkout-confirmed amount, the recipient should receive the donor's payment reference or receipt first. The recipient must not direct donors to MosqueMe as first-line support for donation or campaign refund requests or payment-system issues.
The recipient must cooperate with MosqueMe and the Payment Provider on:
- duplicate payments;
- payment-system amount mismatches where the amount charged differs from the checkout-confirmed amount;
- unauthorised or fraudulent payment enquiries;
- failed or disputed campaigns;
- chargebacks;
- donor complaints;
- Gift Aid corrections;
- payout reversals; and
- requests from regulators, banks, or law-enforcement authorities.
If a payment-system issue needs MosqueMe's platform records, the authorised Mosque Admin or recipient may ask MosqueMe to review Stripe/session/webhook/payment records and raise the issue with Stripe or the relevant Payment Provider where technically needed. MosqueMe does not decide donation or campaign refund requests that belong to the recipient. The outcome may depend on Stripe, the Payment Provider, the card issuer, the bank, card-network rules, and applicable law.
If a donation has already been paid out and the recipient decides, or is legally required, to allow a refund, dispute, reversal, or chargeback, the recipient may need to return funds or maintain enough Payment Provider balance. The recipient must not ignore reasonable refund, dispute, reversal, or chargeback requests sent to the recipient by a donor, bank, card issuer, Payment Provider, regulator, law-enforcement authority, or MosqueMe.
MosqueMe Platform Fees and non-recoverable Payment Processing Fees are normally non-refundable unless required by law, Payment Provider rules, card-network rules, or caused by MosqueMe's proven technical error.
The recipient should have its own trustee-approved donation acceptance, refusal, return, and refund policy where appropriate.
15. Compliance Duties
The Mosque Admin and recipient must comply with all laws and rules that apply to their admin activity, fundraising, data handling, content, and payments, including where relevant:
- charity law and trustee duties;
- Fundraising Regulator Code of Fundraising Practice and Scottish fundraising standards;
- Charity Commission, OSCR, Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, or other regulator guidance;
- data protection and privacy law;
- payment services, sanctions, AML, counter-terrorism, fraud, bribery, tax, and accounting rules;
- consumer protection and unfair trading rules;
- marketing and electronic communications rules;
- Payment Provider terms;
- Apple App Review Guidelines and Google Play policies where app-linked flows are involved; and
- MosqueMe's policies and instructions.
MosqueMe will require the recipient and authorised Mosque Admin to accept these Mosque Admin Terms before Pay Now fundraising is enabled, and may require a separate written fundraising or platform agreement where required by charity law, fundraising rules, Payment Provider rules, or MosqueMe's compliance checks.
These duties apply to both in-App and off-App admin activity connected with MosqueMe, including information taken from MosqueMe and used in mosque meetings, trustee decisions, service handling, accounting, safeguarding, refunds, donor support, or user support.
16. Suspension and Removal
MosqueMe may suspend, restrict, or remove admin access, Pay Now fundraising, a campaign, donations, public display, payouts, or donor reporting where MosqueMe reasonably believes this is necessary to:
- protect donors, users, the recipient, MosqueMe, or the public;
- comply with law, regulator guidance, Payment Provider rules, or app-store rules;
- investigate suspected fraud, misuse, impersonation, unauthorised fundraising, sanctions risk, financial crime, or misleading campaign content;
- respond to a complaint, dispute, chargeback, or regulator request;
- prevent use of a personal, unauthorised, or mismatched payout account;
- protect data or security; or
- prevent reputational or legal harm.
MosqueMe may require corrections before reinstating a campaign, payout, Pay Now access, or admin access.
17. Records and Audit
The Mosque Admin and recipient must keep adequate records of:
- authority to act;
- trustee or committee approval;
- admin appointments, admin removals, permission changes, and access reviews;
- significant member management decisions, including suspensions, bans, removals, escalations, or restrictions;
- service request decisions, cancellations, restrictions, document handling, fees, deposits, and user communications where relevant;
- event, registration, and attendance records where relevant;
- prayer timetable, Jumuah, Eid, Hijri calendar, or mosque profile changes where relevant;
- exports, downloads, screenshots, or off-App sharing where relevant;
- user reports, complaints, safeguarding concerns, safety concerns, and moderation decisions where relevant;
- campaign wording and changes;
- donor restrictions or donor correspondence;
- donation amounts and payment dates;
- Gift Aid declarations and claims;
- refunds and refund decisions;
- payout records;
- complaints and dispute responses; and
- use of funds.
The recipient must provide reasonable information to MosqueMe where needed for platform records, Payment Provider technical support, chargebacks, authorised recipient Gift Aid record support, regulatory enquiries, fraud prevention, legal claims, audit, or compliance checks.
MosqueMe may keep platform records of admin actions, including admin access changes, permission changes, posts, deleted posts, prayer timetable activity, service activity, fundraiser activity, exports, moderation actions, security events, and other actions needed for audit, security, legal compliance, user protection, donor protection, and platform integrity.
18. No Personal Benefit or Misuse
MosqueMe admin, member, service, posting, notification, timetable, moderation, reporting, export, and fundraising tools must not be used for personal gain, unauthorised private fundraising, misleading campaigns, political campaigning where not lawful for the recipient, unlawful religious or extremist activity, sanctions evasion, money laundering, fraud, harassment, discrimination, intimidation, retaliation, personal disputes, or any purpose outside the recipient's lawful charitable or community purposes.
You must not pressure vulnerable people to donate or use mosque member data, donor data, admin access, or community trust to pressure, mislead, or exploit any person.
19. Indemnity
The recipient will indemnify MosqueMe for losses, claims, chargebacks, refunds, regulatory action, Payment Provider costs, penalties, reasonable legal costs, or donor complaints arising from:
- unauthorised fundraising;
- false or misleading campaign information;
- misuse of funds;
- Gift Aid errors;
- unlawful fundraising;
- data misuse by the recipient or its admins;
- use of a personal, unauthorised, or mismatched payout account;
- failure to cooperate with refunds, disputes, investigations, or regulator requests; or
- breach of these Mosque Admin Terms by the Mosque Admin or recipient.
20. Complaints
The Mosque Admin and recipient must cooperate with MosqueMe in responding to user and donor complaints.
If a complaint concerns campaign purpose, use of funds, Gift Aid, mosque authority, trustee decisions, or recipient conduct, the recipient must respond in a timely and honest way.
MosqueMe may signpost donors or users to the recipient, Fundraising Regulator, Scottish Fundraising Standards Panel, Scottish Fundraising Adjudication Panel, Charity Commission, OSCR, FCA, ICO, Payment Provider, bank, or another body where appropriate.
21. Changes
MosqueMe may update these Mosque Admin Terms from time to time. A mosque, charity, or Mosque Admin may be required to accept updated terms before creating new campaigns, continuing Pay Now fundraising, or continuing admin access.
If you do not accept updated terms, MosqueMe may suspend or remove admin access or Pay Now fundraising access.
22. Law and Jurisdiction
These Mosque Admin Terms are governed by the laws of Scotland, unless mandatory law requires otherwise. The courts of Scotland will have non-exclusive jurisdiction, subject to mandatory rules that apply to the recipient, Mosque Admin, campaign, data, fundraising, or payment flow.

| Legal review draft 0.11 | 22 June 2026 | Tightened unauthorised-payment and fraud routing so donors go to their bank, card issuer, or Payment Provider first, and recipient escalation to MosqueMe is limited to platform-record review or legal/provider/regulator/law-enforcement/card-network requirements. |
| Legal review draft 0.10 | 22 June 2026 | Replaced the capped 3% fee model with the new tiered MosqueMe Platform Fee model: 1.5% on the first GBP 1,000, 0.5% on the part from GBP 1,000 to GBP 10,000, 0.1% above GBP 10,000, with a GBP 0.30 minimum and Payment Processing Fees shown separately. |
| Legal review draft 0.9 | 22 June 2026 | Added clearer fee transparency wording requiring small and capped higher-value examples, with Payment Processing Fees shown separately or clearly estimated before payment. |
| Legal review draft 0.8 | 22 June 2026 | Clarified that Gift Aid is recipient-owned: MosqueMe does not claim Gift Aid or decide eligibility, and platform tools only collect, store, display, export, or pass declaration details where enabled. |
| Legal review draft 0.7 | 22 June 2026 | Clarified that donors should contact the receiving mosque or charity first for payment-system issues, and that authorised Mosque Admins or recipients may ask MosqueMe to review Stripe/session/webhook/payment records only where technically needed. |
| Legal review draft 0.6 | 22 June 2026 | Tightened refund responsibilities so recipients remain first-line for donation-refund decisions, donors are directed to banks/card issuers/payment providers first for fraud or unauthorised payment issues, and MosqueMe support is limited to payment-system review, provider escalation, platform safety, and authorised recipient support where technically needed. |
| Legal review draft 0.5 | 22 June 2026 | Clarified that recipients handle refund requests under their own policies and legal duties, without MosqueMe promising that a recipient will approve or fund a refund. |
| Legal review draft 0.4 | 22 June 2026 | Clarified that MosqueMe/payment-provider refund cooperation for amount issues is limited to payment-system amount mismatches, not donor-entered wrong amounts. |
| Legal review draft 0.3 | 22 June 2026 | Expanded Mosque Admin duties beyond fundraising to cover admin permissions, mosque profile data, prayer times, Jumuah, Eid, Hijri calendar, posts, events, services, service requests, documents, fees, member/admin management, exports, moderation, safety, AI-assisted drafting, notifications, audit logs, and off-App data sharing. |
| Legal review draft 0.2 | 22 June 2026 | Created admin acceptance terms covering admin authority, mosque verification, data handling, posts/content, Stripe onboarding, Pay Now fundraising, fees, Gift Aid, refunds, chargebacks, personal bank account ban, Fundraising Regulator guidance, and indemnity. |
