DONE does not perform any preliminary checks on the quality of offers or Donations. DONE cannot be held liable for any Donation offer or the quality of Donations.
ARTICLE 3 – DONATION HANDOVER PROCEDURE
3.1 – Publication of a Donation Offer
When a Partner company wishes to make products available for donation, it must register on the Site and accept the general terms of use. Registration is done via an email address.
Any registration made with private credentials or via a private account will not be validated by DONE and may result in the deletion of offers published by the Partner on the Platform.
The Partner must then publish a Donation offer corresponding to the product(s) they wish to donate to Associations. The listing must include at least a title, a purchase price or cost price, a quantity, and a description of the list of products being donated. By publishing the listing, the Partner declares ownership of the products and that they have been described as accurately as possible.
Partners and Associations will have access to the following features:
- Post listings to donate a product
- Create an agreement to formalize the Donation
- View and search for a Donation based on specific criteria
- Reserve a Donation
- Instant messaging between Associations and Partners
- Issue a tax receipt for tax reduction purposes
- Invite teammates to join the Platform
- View its CSR indicator
Products offered as Donations must be tangible goods. Any cash donation offer will be automatically removed by DONE.
Donation offers are published for a period of thirty (30) days, renewable once. Expired listings can be republished for a new period of up to 30 days.
By publishing the listing, the Partner agrees that its content may be used by DONE to communicate about this Donation. The Partner is solely responsible for the quality and content of the offers and releases DONE from any liability for disputes related to the published offers. However, DONE reserves the right to remove any listing it deems inappropriate.
3.2 – Registration of Associations
Following the publication of a Donation offer, DONE will disseminate the listing to Associations in its network. If an Association wishes to benefit from a Partner's Donation, it must register on the Platform using an email address.
Any registration made with private credentials or via a private account will not be validated by DONE and may lead to the invalidation of the Donation.
The Association must also provide a copy of its articles of association, a tax ruling, and a copy of its organizational chart. DONE verifies the information provided. Only after DONE has validated the registration and profile will the Association be able to receive Donations.
3.3 – Signing a Partnership Agreement
Any Association whose registration has been validated by DONE can reserve Donation listings of interest via the Platform. All Associations can access the list of available listings, their descriptions and images, as well as Partner profiles. Associations can also sort listings by distance and category.
All Associations can create a basket by reserving a Partner's list. Once the basket is created, they can confirm it. The Partner then receives a notification.
It must then sign a Partnership Agreement with the Partner regarding the exchange of Donations (see Appendix 1). The Agreement is signed electronically and summarizes all products donated during the period. Only authorized persons may sign it. It takes effect upon validation of the Donation by the Partner.
The Donation is made without expectation of direct or indirect consideration by the Partner. A tax credit may be claimed once the product has been donated.
The Partner reserves the right to refuse a Donation request made by an Association. Such refusal shall not engage DONE's liability.
The Association and the Partner expressly agree that signing a Partnership Agreement obliges the Parties to exchange all future Donations exclusively via the Platform. Any deviation may result in the immediate deletion of accounts and the payment of compensation to DONE as damages.
3.4 – Collection of Donations
To collect Donations, the Association can choose to:
Collecting the Donation itself: The Association travels to the location indicated by the Partner. It must log in to the Platform at the time of collection and ensure all products are present. If everything is compliant, it must indicate this on the Platform. In case of a missing product, it must inform DONE via the Platform or by email. The Association confirms proper receipt by signing the tax receipt.
Using a carrier service: DONE entrusts a carrier with the collection in conjunction with the Partner. Donations are delivered to the address provided by the Association during registration. Any delivery returned to the Partner due to an address error will be re-shipped at the Association's expense.
Upon receipt of the goods, the Association undertakes, under its own responsibility, to carry out all necessary checks regarding their apparent condition, quantity, and conformity. This check must be performed at the time of delivery, in the presence of the carrier if applicable. Any apparent anomaly (damaged package, missing or deteriorated product) must be precisely noted on the Platform and, if applicable, on the delivery note.
Signing the delivery note constitutes acknowledgment of receipt of the goods in good apparent condition and in the correct quantity.
In the event of an apparent defect or non-conformity observed upon delivery, the Association must contact DONE directly via the Platform or by email as soon as possible.
As DONE is not involved in the handover of goods, nor does it ensure their custody or transport, it cannot be held liable in this regard. Associations and Partners acknowledge that they have no recourse or warranty claim against DONE in the event of non-delivery or non-payment by the carrier.
3.5 – Issuance of a Tax Receipt
Product Donations may entitle the Partner to a tax credit. The Donation is subject to a tax receipt issued by the Association for the value of the Donation. It is the Partner's responsibility to correctly estimate the value of the product and to assume all liability in this regard.
The Association has five (5) business days from the receipt of the Donation to issue a tax receipt, either by using its own receipt transmitted via the Platform or the template provided by DONE.
For the preparation of tax receipts, the Association must provide:
- The signature of the person authorized to sign receipts
- The association's address
- The logo
- An extract from the RNA (national register of associations)
3.6 – Invite a Teammate
Partners and Associations can invite a teammate to join their entity. An email is then sent to their email address. If the teammate clicks on 'Join the company / association', their account is automatically created, and they can immediately collaborate.
3.7 – CSR Index
All Partners can access their CSR index, calculated according to the following criteria: the number of products donated, the number of associations helped, and the number of kilograms of CO₂ saved.
ARTICLE 4 – DONE'S COMMISSION
DONE charges a commission on the value of each Donation, determined based on the purchase price or cost price of the product, the amount of which is stated on the quote or any other DONE document.
This commission is invoiced directly to the Partner, in addition to the declared value of the product on the Donation offer. The Partner undertakes to declare the value of the product on each offer and to provide an accurate and truthful value.
Payment will be due 30 days from the Donation delivery date. DONE reserves the right to suspend its service performance in case of non-payment.
In the event of a Partner intentionally undervaluing the Donations, their account may be suspended and any Donation offer may be taken offline.
The commission is invoiced upon signature of the tax receipt. Payment is made by bank transfer, using the bank details provided on the invoice.

Any damage resulting from the use or distribution of products after their expiry date falls under the sole responsibility of the Association, which absolves DONE and the Partner of any liability in this regard.

- Containing dangerous, chemical, irritating components, or that may harm the physical integrity of others
- Subject to any other instructions categorizing products according to regulatory and/or legislative provisions
The Partner undertakes to provide the Association with all relevant documentation (safety data sheet, list of components, usage instructions, etc.). It is entirely responsible for the quality and integrity of the products and undertakes to supply only products that comply with French and European safety, hygiene, and health standards.
By accepting products, the Association agrees to bear full responsibility for their use. It undertakes to have the necessary skills, personnel, and materials to use the products under conditions that comply with safety standards. The Association is solely responsible for any incident suffered by its beneficiaries and/or any third parties, related to the use, processing, and storage of the products.
5.6 – Parties' Duty of Loyalty
Associations and Partners connected via DONE agree to continue their relationship via the Platform.
