In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users, you hereby release CLOZTALK, its officers, managers, members, employees, agents, and successors in rights from claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or the CLOZTALK Services.

With CLOZTALK

1. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all aspects of the Site and CLOZTALK Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to informal dispute resolution or arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith other than in the appropriate state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is excluded from this Agreement. Additionally, application of the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) is excluded from this Agreement. In no event shall any claim, action, or proceeding by you related in any way to the Site or CLOZTALK Services be instituted more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose.

2. Informal Resolution. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to this Agreement ("Dispute"), you and CLOZTALK agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least 30 days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one person to the other.

3. Binding Arbitration. If you and CLOZTALK are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, either you or CLOZTALK may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. The determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in the State of Delaware. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, rules, and regulations: (1) any evidentiary submission(s) made in arbitration shall be maintained as confidential in the absence of good cause for its disclosure, and (2) you and CLOZTALK agree not to disclose the contents of the arbitrator’s decision(s) to any third party, except as required by law, rule, or regulation, or for the purposes of enforcement or appeal of the arbitration decision. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and CLOZTALK may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

4. Restrictions. You and CLOZTALK agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between CLOZTALK and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

5. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. You and CLOZTALK agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of any of your or CLOZTALK’s intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief. If this Section is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor CLOZTALK will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this Section found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and you and CLOZTALK agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

FAQ

What is CLOZTALK®?

CLOZTALK is a national directory of vetted 501(c) nonprofits that are helping to make the world a better place. Our nonprofit partners cover a wide variety of categories, from animals to homelessness to arts. CLOZTALK partners with these nonprofits by making high-quality, charity-branded apparel for them (t-shirts, hoodies, caps, leggings, etc.). We build a webstore for each nonprofit that contains important information about the nonprofit and apparel for sale. This is all at NO cost to the nonprofits! We believe that when someone wears a nonprofit's gear, that person becomes a positive ambassador for the nonprofit just by walking around town. Clothes can "talk," spark conversations, and raise awareness for that nonprofit!

How did the idea for CLOZTALK® come about?

CLOZTALK came about because of our experience building Imerman Angels (IA), an international one-on-one cancer-support organization that matches someone fighting cancer with someone who has survived the same type of cancer. Imerman Angels started with just a few supporters wearing high-quality, black-and-white IA t-shirts in downtown Chicago. People on the streets often stopped them and asked: What is Imerman Angels? The word began to spread, and the community began to grow. We quickly realized the power of apparel to spark conversations and brand a mission. Imerman Angels is now in all 50 states and more than 100 countries. We aim to build awareness for other nonprofits just like we did for Imerman Angels.

Why is there a need for CLOZTALK®?

Nonprofits are usually awesome at delivering a service or program to those in need. But generally, they are not branding, promotional, and design experts. That’s why CLOZTALK exists! We design high-quality, comfortable apparel that helps build and promote the brand of each nonprofit. A solid brand awareness can attract everything that a nonprofit needs: people who benefit from its programs, volunteers, donors, company sponsors, future board members, future employees, and ambassadors who spread more awareness. Long-term branding is our top goal.

What does CLOZTALK® do?

CLOZTALK handles all of the logistics, so the nonprofit can devote its limited time and staff to serve its mission and not get stuck handling apparel. CLOZTALK makes high-quality, cool apparel for the nonprofits ... at NO cost to the nonprofits. We build the nonprofit's webstore, take the orders, fulfill the orders, ship the orders, and handle customer service. All of the apparel is custom-made on demand, which means there is no inventory for the nonprofit or for CLOZTALK. No more unsold, dated event gear stuffed in a back closet at the nonprofit's office! 

Does a nonprofit have to be a 501(c) to become a CLOZTALK® nonprofit partner?

Yes, all of the nonprofits are 501(c) nonprofit organizations. This means that each nonprofit has been vetted and approved by the federal government under the United States Tax Code. Each nonprofit must adhere to government regulations and submit financial records every year to maintain its 501(c) status in good standing. 

What does CLOZTALK® require of the nonprofits?

Before we launch their webstore, we ask the nonprofits to approve the apparel designs so the designs are exactly as the nonprofits want. We also ask them to put a webstore link on their website and to announce our partnership in at least one social media post and/or newsletter. We don’t ask them for money or time. We understand that they are busy working on their programs and helping others. We don’t want to distract them. They have limited resources and are often understaffed. We want them focusing on their missions!

Why don’t I just buy the apparel directly from the nonprofit?

Nonprofits often aren’t experts in designing and selling stylish, comfy gear. Sometimes they don’t sell apparel at all. We want to take this project off their plate. So they can focus their time and limited resources on their mission and doing social good, not on running an apparel business. Our ambitious pace and spirited approach will grow a nonprofit’s brand faster than it could on its own. And it doesn’t cost the nonprofits a cent!

Does CLOZTALK donate funds to its nonprofit partners? 

No. We believe that high-quality nonprofit apparel is a branding and marketing tool. We support each nonprofit partner -- AT NO COST TO THE NONPROFIT -- by building and operating its webstore on our website, making high-quality apparel on-demand, receiving and fulfilling its orders, shipping quickly and directly to customers, providing attentive customer service, promoting the nonprofit on social media and in person, and by providing numerous free value-adds and benefits, such as our nonprofit calendar, monthly newsletter with nonprofit resources, and consulting services. While we know that apparel can lead to the discovery and connection of donors for our nonprofit partners, the primary driver of CLOZTALK apparel is that “clothes talk” and can raise awareness for a nonprofit's mission. When we established Imerman Angels almost twenty years ago, we learned how the branding power of high-quality, bold, black-and-white apparel led to more supporters, volunteers, fans, and users of our service. This concept of amplifying a nonprofit’s branding potential through the power of apparel became CLOZTALK’s north star.

How long does it take for a nonprofit to become a CLOZTALK® nonprofit partner?

A nonprofit first fills out the online application on the Nonprofit Application page of this website. The nonprofit will then receive a one-page Nonprofit Partner Agreement that is emailed to it. The nonprofit signs the agreement. Next, CLOZTALK reviews the application. If the nonprofit is accepted as a nonprofit partner, CLOZTALK signs the Nonprofit Partner Agreement and the onboarding process begins! The onboarding process usually takes about one month. During that time, we design your apparel and webstore, create your information emails to be sent to customers, and upload your nonprofit information to the CLOZTALK website!

Does a nonprofit need to sign an agreement in order to become a CLOZTALK® nonprofit partner?

Yes, each nonprofit signs a Nonprofit Partner Agreement with CLOZTALK. The agreement is one page. The nonprofit gives permission to CLOZTALK to use its name and logo for the apparel. The agreement states that the nonprofit is not obligated to pay CLOZTALK to build and operate its webstore. The agreement allows the nonprofit to terminate the partnership at any time and for any reason, at no penalty ever.

Can I see the Nonprofit Partner Agreement that is emailed to the nonprofits after they complete the online application?

Sure, take a look! Just We are transparent. Just remember, the real Nonprofit Partner Agreement (which looks just like this one) will be emailed to the nonprofit, and the nonprofit must sign it electronically. This way we can better keep track of all our awesome nonprofit partners!

Who creates the designs?

CLOZTALK uses the nonprofit's existing logo and creates the apparel designs. The only thing each nonprofit has to do is approve our designs. We never proceed without the nonprofit's approval. We want each nonprofit to stay focused on what they do best: delivering a mission that makes the world a better place!

What if the nonprofit already has its own apparel or its own webstore?

No problem at all! CLOZTALK only adds to an organization's offerings, never subtracts. We are not exclusive, so the CLOZTALK line of apparel is just an additional offering that is separate from the organization's existing apparel. We hope both webstores sell as much as possible! CLOZTALK has no requirement of exclusivity. CLOZTALK is just another channel for the organization to sell its apparel and therefore to raise more awareness. We never require an organization to change anything that it is already doing. 

Why does CLOZTALK offer only black-and-white apparel?

We offer black-and-white (and a few gray-and-white) items based on more than a decade of working with nonprofit apparel. Through our experience building Imerman Angels, talks with everyday people, and discussions with branding experts, we have found that black-and-white apparel appeals to the most people, is considered to be the most fashionable, and most importantly, is worn to the most places. While colored clothing may be popular to wear at a nonprofit's 5K, which is great, it is often not worn beyond that event. This is a missed opportunity to spread the word for that nonprofit. We believe nonprofit apparel must be cool, so that people wear their charity gear to the grocery store, at the gym, around town, out in the evenings, and so on. We also don't want anything to detract from the clarity of the nonprofit's name and logo, so we make apparel with no colors, no taglines, and no other distractions. Black-and-white fits with our "less is more" approach to quickly get people's attention with a cool, bold look that makes an impact and sparks a conversation! That is the essence of CLOZTALK: clothes are the key to raising awareness about amazing causes in our communities. 

Does CLOZTALK offer bulk order pricing?

Yes. We offer bulk order pricing to any nonprofit partner or customer, based on the order price (excluding sales tax). There is no discount for orders up to $5,000. If your order totals $5,000 to $7,000, you get a 3% discount. If your order totals $7,000 to $10,000, you get a 5% discount. If your order totals $10,000+, you get a 7% discount. We also offer bulk pricing for any t-shirt or tank top orders of 100 units or more. We are able to offer this 100+ unit special pricing because we pass along our price breaks directly to the customer. Please contact us directly for 100+ unit orders of t-shirts and tank tops. We do not receive price breaks on the other items (embroidered items), so we are unable to offer bulk pricing for those items. All bulk orders receive free shipping to one recipient address.

What does the word "nonprofit" mean?

A nonprofit is an organization that is not conducted or maintained for the purpose of making a profit and, as presented in its mission statement, provides help to those in need or furthers a particular social cause. All of our nonprofit partners are 501(c) nonprofits, which means that each nonprofit has been vetted and approved by the federal government under the United States Tax Code. Each nonprofit must adhere to government regulations and submit financial records every year to maintain its 501(c) status in good standing. 

Is CLOZTALK® a for-profit company?

Yes. CLOZTALK is a for-profit, social impact company. A social enterprise is a venture that uses business strategy to achieve its central mission of improving human or environmental wellbeing. CLOZTALK -- not the nonprofits -- takes on all of the business risk. The nonprofits have nothing to lose, and only brand awareness to gain. At CLOZTALK, our positive social impact is as important to our bottom line as any potential profit.

Is CLOZTALK® a Certified B Corporation?

Yes. CLOZTALK is a Certified B Corporation. As a B Corp, we're part of an international community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact, accountability, and transparency. We are part of a global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. B Corps seek to change our economic system so that all business is a force for good and positively impacts all stakeholders -- workers, communities, customers, and our planet.
