Any changes to these Terms and Conditions will be noted by indicating the date these Terms and Conditions were last made. Any changes will become effective no earlier than fourteen (14) days after they are posted; provided, however, that changes addressing new functions of the Services or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. Your use or continued use of the Services after the date any such changes become effective shall constitute your express acceptance of the Terms and Conditions as changed, amended or modified.

Eligibility: Users under 18 years of age are not eligible to use the Services without consent. Users between the ages of 13 and 17, can use the Services with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 years of age; provided, however, that such parent or legal guardian agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, and agrees to be responsible for such use of the Services. Company reserves the right to refuse use of the Services to anyone and to reject, cancel, interrupt, remove or suspend any Campaign, Donation, or the Services at any time for any reason without liability.

Definitions: In these Terms and Conditions "Campaign Organizers" means those raising funds, and "Campaigns" as their fundraising campaigns. Additionally, "Donors" means those contributing funds, and "Donations" as the funds they contribute. Campaign Organizers, Donors and other visitors to the Services are referred to collectively as "Users". The term "Campaign Organizers" shall also be deemed to include any individual(s) designated as a beneficiary of Campaigns.

Services: The Services are offered as a platform (the "Platform") to Users of the Services. Among other features, the Services are designed to allow Campaign Organizers to post Campaigns to the Platform to accept Donations from Donors. Although there are no fees to set up Campaigns, a portion of each Donation will be charged as fees for our Services and those of our third party payment processors. Company reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services with or without notice. You agree that Company will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance thereof. The Company has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any data or other content maintained or uploaded by the Services. To the extent you access the Services through a mobile device, your wireless service carrier's standard charges, data rates and other fees may apply. In addition, downloading, installing, or using certain Services may be prohibited or restricted by your carrier, and not all Services may work with all carriers or devices. By using the Services, you agree that we may communicate with you regarding Company and other entities by SMS, MMS, text message or other electronic means to your mobile device and that certain information about use of the Services may be communicated to us.

Charitable Giving: Campaigns are not charities to which you can make tax-deductible charitable contributions. Any Donation you make through the Platform may be processed by an unaffiliated business partner for which a processing fee (in addition to our FrontRunner Professional Fee) is deducted. You understand, acknowledge and agree that Company is not a charity, and Company does not solicit charitable donations for itself or for any third-party charitable institution. Company is merely acting as a payment facilitator for any Donations.

Administrative Platform Only: The Services are an administrative platform only. The Company is merely acting as a payment facilitator for any Donations between Campaign Organizers and Donors, and is not a party to any agreement between Campaign Organizers and Donors. Company is not a broker, agent, financial institution, creditor or insurer for any user. Company has no control over the conduct of, or any information provided by Campaign Organizers, and Company hereby disclaims all liability in this regard. We expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility for the success or outcome of any Campaign. Donors must in their sole discretion make the final determination of making Donations to any Campaigns. Donors are solely responsible for asking questions and investigating Campaign Organizers and Campaigns to the extent they feel is necessary before making a Contribution. All Donations are made voluntarily and at the sole discretion and risk of Donors. Company does not guarantee that Donations will be used as promised. Company does not endorse, guarantee, make representations, or provide warranties for or about the quality, safety, or legality of any Campaign. Donors are solely responsible for determining how to treat their Donations for tax purposes.

No Verification of Campaign Information: We do not verify the information that Campaign Organizers supply, and do not guarantee that the Donations will be used in accordance with any fundraising purpose prescribed by Campaign Organizers. We disclaim and assume no responsibility to verify whether the Donations are used in accordance with any applicable laws.

Your Registration Obligations: You may be required to register with Company in order to access and use certain features of the Services. If you choose to register for the Services, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Services' registration form. Campaign Organizers must register using their true identities, including their name and any image purporting to depict the Campaign Organizer. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy. If you are under 13 years of age, you are not authorized to use the Services, with or without registering. In addition, if you are under 18 years old, you may use the Services, with or without registering, only with the approval of your parent or guardian. Certain aspects of our Services may also require you to register with (and agree to the terms of) third party service providers (e.g., payment processors or charitable donation processors) in order to utilize such Services. While we may help facilitate such registration in some cases, we are not a party to any such relationships and disclaim any responsibility or liability for the performance by such third parties. We may exchange information with such third party services in order to facilitate the provision of Services (and related third party services).

Public Display of Donations: Donors have the option to publicly display their Donations for public viewing or allow their information to be provided to the Campaign beneficiary(ies). To keep the details of your Donation private, simply click the appropriate checkbox during the Donation process. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information on the ways that we may collect, use, and store certain information about you and your use of the Services.

Payment of Donations: In order to contribute to a Campaign, Donors will be required to provide Company information regarding its credit card (i.e., VISA, MasterCard, Discover or American Express) or other payment method. Donors represent and warrant to Company that such information is true and that Donors are authorized to use the credit card or payment method. Donors agree that a certain minimum Donation amount may apply, and that all Donation payments are final and cannot be refunded. Donors agree to promptly update account information with any changes that may occur and to pay the Donation amount that you specify. Donors hereby authorize Company to bill Donors' credit cards and payment methods in advance on a periodic basis until Donors terminate periodic payments through the Platform.

Fees: Company does not charge Campaign Organizers any upfront fees for Campaigns. Company retains a portion of each Donation contributed to Campaigns in the amount of four percent (4%) ("FrontRunner Professional Fee"). A portion of the Donation is payable to our third party payment processors ("Processing Fee"). Donors acknowledge that by contributing Donations to Campaigns, Donors are agreeing to any and all applicable terms and conditions set forth by a third party payment processor, in addition to these Terms and Conditions. The portion of each Donation payable to and retained by our third party payment processors are:

All Tribute Pay Fees and Processing Fees ("Fees") are deducted directly from each Donation and are not reflected in the amount which Campaign Organizers can withdraw from the Campaign. We reserve the right to change any of the Fees from time to time. If we change any of the Fees, we will provide notice of the change on the Website or otherwise, at our option, at least fourteen (14) days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Services after the change in any of the Fees becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Fees.

Indemnification: You agree to release, indemnify and hold Company and its affiliates and their owners, officers, employees, directors and agents harmless from any from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, rights, claims, causes of action, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Services, any Donation or Campaign, your violation of these Terms and Conditions or your violation of any rights of another. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR". To the extent you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine

DISPUTE RESOLUTION - ARBITRATION (READ CAREFULLY): You agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between you and Company (including our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to Company should be sent to 2501 Parmenter Street, Suite 300A, Middleton, WI 53562, Attn: President, with a copy by email to support@tributepayments.com ("Notice Address"). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand").

If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

2. General Policy Provisions

  1. Definitions

    ā€œPersonal Informationā€ includes both ā€œPersonally Identifiable Informationā€ and ā€œNon-Personally Identifiable Informationā€.

    "Personally Identifiable Information" refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are and can be used to identify, contact or locate you. Personally Identifiable Information is requested when you register with us, make a Donation, correspond with us, or otherwise volunteer information, for instance, through the use of "Contact Us". Personally Identifiable Information may include, without limitation, your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card number, and other identification and contact information.

    "Non-Personally Identifiable Information" refers to information that does not identify a specific individual by itself or in combination with other information. We gather certain information about you based upon what you view on our Site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Siteā€™s Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web (ā€˜Webā€). An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop

    ā€œSensitive Personal Informationā€ means Personal Information that reveals race, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership or that concerns an individualā€™s health.

  2. Notice

    Company shall inform you of the purposes for which it collects and uses Personal Information and the types of non-agent third parties to which Company discloses or may disclose that information. Company shall provide you with the choice and means for limiting the use and disclosure of your Personal Information. Notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language when you are first asked to provide Personal Information to Company, or as soon as practicable thereafter. In any event, you will receive notice before Company uses or discloses the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected.

  3. Choice

    Company will offer you the opportunity to choose (opt-out) whether Personal Information is to be disclosed to a third party or to be used for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or has subsequently been authorized. For Sensitive Personal Information (when applicable), Company will give you the opportunity to affirmatively or explicitly consent (opt-in) to the disclosure of the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or has subsequently been authorized. Company will treat Sensitive Personal Information it receives from anyone the same as it would treat its own Sensitive Personal Information.

  4. Security

    Company shall take reasonable steps to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No company is immune from Internet attacks or data breaches. Company cannot guarantee the security of information on or transmitted via the Internet.

  5. Data Integrity

    Company shall only process Personal Information in a way that is compatible with and relevant to the purpose for which it was collected or has been authorized.

Company will not tell the advertiser who you are as part of this process. When you interact with an advertisement there is a possibility that you may receive a cookie from the advertiser.

7. How Company Shares Your Information

Company shares your Personal Information with third parties when it believes you have permitted such sharing, that it is reasonably necessary to offer services, or when legally required to do so. Company will not share your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties in a way that it thinks violates your privacy. The following non-exhaustive list contains examples of how Company shares or could share your information:

  1. If Site allows you to invite a friend to join the Site or become a User, and you choose to do so, the invitation will contain information that will allow your friend to identify you. The invitation may contain information about other Users your friend might know.

  2. Certain information you provide to Company may be shared by using the Siteā€™s search function. This allows other Users to locate your profile and it allows new Users to find people they know on the Site.

  3. Company provides some public information to search engines. This information allows search engines to locate the Site. It also allows people to locate you on the Site using a major search engine. This does not mean all information you post on the Site may be accessed using a search engine.

  4. There are also times when Company may make certain Personal Information about you available to strategic partners or third parties. These companies may help Company process information, render services to you, manage and enhance customer data, provide customer service, assess your interest in products and services, or conduct research or satisfaction surveys. Without such information being made available, it would be difficult for you to use Company's Site and services.

  5.

Obituary

Obituary for John H. Clarke

With gratitude for a full life but with the heaviest of hearts, the family of Mr. John Howard Clarke mourns the loss of our beloved husband of 47 years, father, father-in law, and grandfather. He departed this world on January 2, 2021, in Boston, Massachusetts. He was born on March 29, 1947, at French Hospital, New York, to his loving parents, the late Frank Howard Clarke, a WWII Veteran, and the late Johnnie Mae Moore Clarke, a devoted homemaker. He attended P.S 188 Elementary School in Manhattan. His family was devoted to faith and he was baptized Catholic and confirmed at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Manhattan. He also served as an altar boy and was a dedicated Boy Scout. He attended Junior High School 22 in Manhattan. He excelled at sports such as football and was very studious. He served as the President of the GEO (General Organization) at his high school, Seward Park High School, and was a proud graduate of that school. He attended Lincoln University and while still a young student, heard the call to uplift his fellow citizens during the Civil Rights Movement. He was a member of SNCC-the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. During this dangerous time he went to Mississippi to aid in voter registration through non-violent means and the desegregation of public spaces. He, like many others, faced death threats but he continued on with courage. He later transferred to Friends World College and during his time as a student he studied at their only international branch in Africa, East Africa, Kenya, to continue to pursue a love of knowledge. He later moved to Tanzania where with his fluency in Swahili, he worked and established lifelong connections and met his soulmate Mrs. Nelly Clarke. They married in August, 1973, in Tanzania, surrounded by loved ones and well wishers. After travelling and visiting family and friends in Scandinavia and Europe, they returned to the United States. Mr.Clarke worked for the state of Vermont and through his work there opened the first farmerā€™s market in 1977. At the opening there was a ribbon cutting ceremony at which the Governor of Vermont attended. He went on to teach at Franconia College in New Hampshire, and when Franconia College closed was transferred to what was then known as New Hampshire College, in Manchester, New Hampshire. He continued to teach at New Hampshire College while also pursuing a Masterā€™s Degree at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. After completing his Masterā€™s Degree, he enrolled in the doctoral program and the family moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was an exceptional student and a teaching fellow, with one of his Harvard professors remarking at that time that Mr. Clarke was one of the best students he had the opportunity to teach in his 50 years at the university. He later served as the Assistant Principal at what was then called the Agassiz Elementary School, now called the Maria L. Baldwin School. He often tirelessly drove his six children to a wide range of extracurricular activities everyday; everything from football practice, to baseball practice, to soccer practice, to dance lessons, and to music lessons. He worked to ensure that each of his children received a college education. He attended the Episcopal Divinity School and was active in the ministry of Christ Church in Cambridge by serving to provide meals to the homeless in the community. His devout faith was also evident in the work he did at Kings Chapel, Boston, Massachusetts. Though he faced health challenges later on in his life, it did not stop him from being a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He found a loving and welcoming community at St. Paulā€™s Parish, in Cambridge, MA, where he had on special occasions the opportunity to joyfully serve during mass. He loved to laugh, read, and welcomed into his heart all from every corner of the globe. We will miss the warmth of his smile, the radiance of his laughter, and the brilliance of his intellect. He leaves to cherish his life and memory his wife of 47 years Nelly Clarke; his children Sayeeda, Steven, Mae, Frank, Lucy, Nancy and Elizabeth; his grandchildren Solomon, Miriam, Olivia, Amina, Tumaini, Miles, and Kimmee; his daughter and son in laws; his brothers Henry and Vernon, and sister in laws; his nieces Verna, Ayana, and Lauren; and numerous extended family members and cherished friends. His late brother Thomas and his late grandparents Frank and Claire Clarke departed this earth before him. The family wishes to thank Keefe Funeral Home for their kind care and compassion during this time. A private funeral service will be held on Saturday, January 16, at St. Paul's Parish, Cambridge, MA, with the laying to eternal rest to follow at Cambridge Cemetery, Cambridge, MA. When gatherings are safe, we will have a Celebration of Life.



Eulogy John Howard Clarke
St. Paulā€™s Church Cambridge, MA, 02138
Saturday, January 16, 2021
John Howard Clarke . . . three names fora very complex human being. It never cease sto amaze me how incredibly complicated we all are and the multitude of influences that shape us: ancestors, education, money, illness, love, loss, pain, faith,family,parents, siblings ā€“such a long, maybe infinitely long, list of items which create a person.Where to begin with Dad? Nelusigwe Taim Mwakatungila, Uuknyakyusa, Jamaica, The Carolinas, The Lower East Side, race, segregation, Johnnie Mae Moore, Aunt Claudia,struggles to end segregation and colonialism,to name just a few people and issues that made Dad . . . Dadembraced complexity, reveled in it, and encouraged us to immerse ourselves in the marvelous mysteriousness of life. In typical Dad fashion, he never explicitly or directly told us to do this;instead, he helped us discover curiosity on our own. Dad almost never answered a question directly, but instead, encouraged us to find the answer ourselves. To say he despised television is an understatement, hence my siblings and I growing up watching little TV and almost all of it on PBS. I can hear him now telling Nancy or Lucy to look up a word in the dictionary. Dad almost never spoke about himselfā€“the vast majority of my knowledge about our father came from our Mother and his other relatives and friends, and the stories were the stuff of an Indiana Jones movie: travel throughout the planet in a time when it was quite rare for a poor African-American man to visit far flung places like Sudan, Mexico, Morocco, and Israel, freedom rides in the South, FBI interrogations, the Ku Klux Klan almost tossing him off a bridge or shooting at him in Alabama, teaching in East Africa,an encounter with a traditional healer in Tanzania that ended with him fleeing into the bush, motorcycle accidents in Mbeya, and of course marrying his soulmate at the foot of the Living stone mountains in Southwest Tanzania. These tales and countless more confirmed what we observed living and growing up with Dad ā€“he was fearless but not careless and had a deep respect for knowledge and exploring the unknown and loved living life to the fullest while fighting injustice. He had so much he could have complained about, including racism, his Parentsā€™ divorce, and money problems ā€“you name it, and yet he never did. I have no idea how one becomes so positive and selfless but respect and admired that about Dad and strive to emulate that in my own life. Dad also challenged us intellectually all the time ā€“we debated everything from hip hop, to the use of non-violent tactics in the civil rights movement, to his own wardrobe! Dad, just did not care much for anything material, including his clothing,and had a style all his own ranging from cut off jeans he made himself to his legendary Harvard sweatshirt beneath a blazer, of course, all to the great consternation of is kids. More on Dadā€™s disregard for money or material goods, some of my fondest childhood memories include jump starting our ā€˜green bomberā€™ on a regular basis with Dad and Mae on our way to school in the morning ā€“I am quite certain he propelled that car like Fred Flintstone did his, with his bare feet, as there were portions of the green bomberā€˜s floor I could see thru ā€“like I said, Dad did not care for money or material things! He was the smartest, most well-read human being we knew but never made us feel dumb or as if our ideas, no matter how inexperienced or less read we were than he, didnā€™t matter. He eventually came around on hip hop, even listening to it himself, maybe not necessarily because Frank convinced him it was indeed like jazz, a revolutionary and powerful new art form, but probably because our own mother became a big Tupac fan.
Dad knew and always reminded us that life is fragile, unpredictable, and short but also sacred, amazing, and precious ā€“not just for those with power and money but for everyone, and would give the shirt off his back to anybody in need and never stopped to think twice about helping someone else. He was fiercely loyal and committed to my mother and us, and was always there for us, in good times and bad. He taught us how to love each other unconditionally, work as a team and always bet here for each other. I can barely keep up with my own daughter and donā€™tā€™ know how he and Mom did so with six of us, including the legendary, Hurricane Elizabeth! He relentlessly encouraged us to look away from the TV and smartphone screens and all of the other distractions of modern life and enjoy and appreciate the moment and our fellow human beings, especially those in need. Next time you pass someone on the street, or on the train, try to see thru the simple boxes of class, race, and gender we often categorize and reduce other people into and make a connection that opens you to the deeper complexities of that person ā€“were you to pass my Dad in Harvard, Central, or Porter Squares in Cambridge you would never know about his remarkable life by his appearance but only by spending time and speaking with him, which he would do all the time with anyone.
So, our father was a black, Jamaican, African, Irish, Native American, husband, Dad, Grandfather, son, brother, philosopher, educator, and civil rights activist, who would do anything for his beloved wife and family and loved life deeply. But he was also so much more than any of these categories suggest, and while obituaries, eulogies, resumes, and stories all help us understand aspects of a person, we are blessed to have spent so much time with Dad which helped us better understand and appreciate the depths of his love for us, his grandkids and life. John Howard Clarke ā€“may you rest in peace eternally.
