8 · Donation Payments & Payouts

  • Donation Processing. Stripe securely processes all optional donations and deducts its standard processing fee. If you miss a challenge on an alarm with an active pledge, you have 7 days from when the alarm is due to reconnect your device to Wi-Fi or cellular so our servers can receive the signal. If no connection is made within that time, the pledged donation will be processed automatically.

  • Confirmation. Whenever a pledged donation is processed, you will receive an official email from Stripe on FineTime’s behalf. This email will include the alarm time, the challenge details, the donation amount, and clear instructions on how to dispute a charge if necessary.

  • Payout Timing. Donations are batched and distributed once per year at the start of the following calendar year. In rare cases—such as pending disputes or charity approvals—a donation may be moved into the next year’s batch. Donations are held in FineTime’s Stripe account.

  • Distribution. When donations are split across multiple charities, amounts may be slightly rounded up or down to ensure even distribution. If a user adds a donation but does not specify to which charity then FineTime will give their donation to a random charity.

  • Visibility. Completed distributions appear in Settings -> Alarm History so you can always track what has been processed.

  • Tax Note. Donations are made by KILAM LLC to the charities you have directed. We do not issue tax receipts in your name, and donations are not be tax-deductible to you.
