As used herein, a “Donor” is a business who has registered with RCR and agreed to donate a portion of its sales (as evidenced in receipts submitted to the App) to nonprofit organizations who have registered with RCR. A “Nonprofit” is such a nonprofit organization who has registered with RCR and agreed to receive such donations from Donors.
