Submission Terms

Boosted is owned and operated by the Arts Foundation of New Zealand Te Tumu Toi o Aotearoa ('Arts Foundation', 'we', 'us', 'our'). Before submitting a proposal to Boosted, you must agree to these submission terms and conditions ('Submission Terms'). These Submission Terms must be read in conjunction with the Terms of Use for Boosted and our Privacy Policy. By submitting a proposal on Boosted you agree that you have read, understood and unequivocally accept all of these Submission Terms.

1. Submitting a Project Proposal

To submit a proposal in relation to an arts project to be hosted on Boosted, you must:

1. complete the Boosted Project Registration form;
2. identify a financial amount that you require in order to execute and complete that arts project (the 'Financial Target'); and
3. provide all other information requested by the Arts Foundation in relation to that arts project, including a project description, an image or, a video, (optional) describing the project.

Together, the above three points make up the 'Proposal'.
 

2. Approval for Hosting

Following receipt of your Proposal, the Arts Foundation may approve your Proposal for hosting on Boosted, in which case your Proposal will become a 'Boosted Project'. The Arts Foundation will endeavour to inform you if your Proposal has been approved as a Boosted Project within two working days of receipt of your Proposal.
 

3. Right to Decline

The Arts Foundation may, at its absolute discretion, decline any Proposal submitted by you for any reason whatsoever including that the Arts Foundation considers that the Proposal does not align with the Arts Foundation's purpose or objectives as set out in the Arts Foundation Deed of Trust (including being for a 'Charitable Purpose' as defined in the Arts Foundation Deed of Trust). If we decline your Proposal, then we shall have no liability to you in relation to that Proposal. The Arts Foundation's decisions regarding all aspects of Boosted including, without limitation, decisions regarding the eligibility of Proposals are final. No correspondence will be entered into.

4. Hosting on Boosted

You must provide all information reasonably requested by the Arts Foundation in order to facilitate hosting of your Proposal on Boosted. If your Proposal is selected as a Boosted Project, then the Arts Foundation will (subject to the provisions in clause 7 relating to a shortfall or overrun on the Financial Target):

1. publish details of your Proposal on Boosted; and
2. receive donations to us in support of your Proposal in accordance with clause 5, 6 and 7.

Until the time period set out in your Proposal expires.

5. Rights to Amount Received

Subject to clauses 6 and 7 below, all amounts donated to, or received by, the Arts Foundation in support of your Proposal are the property of the Arts Foundation and neither you, nor your Boosted Project, nor any other person, has any right to or interest in such amounts.
 

6. Grants of Money

The Arts Foundation may make a grant to your Boosted Project when all of the amounts donated in support of your Boosted Project meet your project target, less an administration fee of up to 10%. If the Arts Foundation decides to make a grant to you, then you must execute an agreement with the Arts Foundation regarding that grant in the form required by the Arts Foundation. All grants you receive must be used strictly for the purpose of undertaking your Boosted Project in accordance with your Proposal, unless otherwise agreed with the Arts Foundation in writing. The Arts Foundation reserves the right to withhold all or any part of its grant to your Boosted Project or remove any Boosted Project from the Boosted website, if it considers, acting reasonably, that the grant will not be used for the purpose specified in your Proposal or for non-compliance with these Submission Terms or the Boosted Terms of Use. The Arts Foundation reserves the right to recover from you any grant moneys that have been used for a purpose other than that set out in your Proposal (except where we have otherwise agreed in writing). We may also recover moneys granted to you if you do not complete your Boosted Project within a reasonable time.

7. Financial Target

The Arts Foundation has no obligation to make any grant of money, and may withhold all donations received in support of your Boosted Project for any reason, including that the amounts received in relation to your Boosted Project have not met the Financial Target within the time period set out in your Proposal.

In the event that the donations received in relation to your Boosted Project exceed the Financial Target, the Arts Foundation may, in its absolute discretion, grant some or all of the further donations received in relation to your Boosted Project if, upon request, you satisfy the Arts Foundation that granting extra money will enable you to improve your Boosted Project and that such improvement aligns with the Arts Foundation's purpose and objectives as set out in the Arts Foundation Deed of Trust.
