Terms of service
Last updated 1 June 2026. By using this website or making a donation you agree to these terms.
About us
Hope for Ataxia is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organisation (EIN 88-4192037) with its registered office at 218 Cedar Walk, Suite 4, Boston, MA 02114.
Donations
Donations are voluntary gifts, not purchases, and are non-refundable except where a payment was made in error or without authorisation. Where you designate a gift to a specific campaign we will apply it to that campaign; if that campaign is fully funded or closed we will apply the gift to the most similar programme and tell you.
Recurring gifts
Monthly donations continue until cancelled. You may pause or cancel at any time using the link in any receipt email or by contacting us; cancellation takes effect before the next scheduled charge provided we receive it at least two business days in advance.
Refunds
If you believe a donation was made in error, contact us within 60 days and we will review and, where appropriate, refund it in full to the original payment method.
