Terms
Effective date: 2 November 2026.
Who runs the fund
The Rupee Fund is a FOSS United community initiative, run by volunteers. The community team runs this website. The Foundation holds the contributions. Contributors choose the projects that the fund backs.
Policies we adopt
We adopt the standards for lawful use and respect for intellectual property in the FOSS United terms of service, as reviewed on 7 September 2026. The terms on this page apply to rupeefund.org. References in the source to Foundation services, ownership, contacts, or agreements do not assign those roles to the Foundation for this fund. We do not adopt the source provision that makes submissions Foundation property. Our Privacy page states how we use form submissions, and what Cloudflare, Zoho Mail and GitHub receive. Where the source differs from our local terms, our local terms apply. Later changes to the source do not change these terms automatically.
Before the fund opens
This site collects sign-ups for the fund's emails and answers that help us plan the fund. Signing up creates no payment obligation, membership, voting right, or promise of a grant. We take no payments through this site at this stage. Proposed contribution amounts and funding plans can change before the fund opens.
Use of this site
Use this site lawfully. Do not submit unlawful content, misuse another person’s email address, or interfere with the site. Respect the rights and licences of content owners. A link to another organisation does not make that organisation an operator of this fund.
Before contributions open
Contributions will go into a FOSS United Foundation account. We will publish the payment terms, cancellation process, and refund responsibilities before we accept contributions. These terms do not promise a tax benefit.
Changes
We will publish changes here with a new effective date. The local Privacy, Refunds, and Code of conduct pages add rules for those subjects.
