4. Campaign Finance Laws

Political contributions to Friends of Janel Fujinaka are subject to Hawaiʻi State and Federal campaign finance laws. We make every effort to ensure compliance with these laws; however, you are ultimately responsible for ensuring that your contributions remain within legal limits.

Federal law also prohibits contributions from corporations, labor unions, federal contractors, and foreign nationals.

We track your contributions made through other platforms, fundraisers, or direct donations. If you contribute through multiple sources, it is your responsibility to ensure your total contributions do not exceed the legal limits.

Please contribute using your funds and refrain from donating on behalf of another person or entity. Contributions are not tax-deductible for federal income tax purposes.

If you are in a position to make large or frequent donations, we appreciate your support and we kindly request that you do so with care and consideration for the law. Let’s keep our campaign pono and our compliance clean.

Mahalo for your support and for helping to move Hawaiʻi forward one grassroots donation at a time.

We will do our best to provide you with all relevant information regarding the tax treatment of donations to the entities on our site, including the percentage of your donation that may be used for lobbying activities (please refer to your receipt). However, it is your responsibility to report your donations accurately as required and to pay the taxes due. We recommend consulting your tax adviser or tax preparer if you have any questions.

11. Permissions and Reuse

Any content submitted by users to FujinakaFor26.com, including comments, testimonials, photos, or other media, is covered under the same Creative Commons license as described above. In addition, by submitting content, you grant Friends of Janel Fujinaka a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, and distribute this content in any format or media, including for campaign use.

14. Refund Policy

Friends of Janel Fujinaka will make every reasonable effort to accommodate refund requests. We will honor refunds requested for valid reasons such as input errors (e.g., duplicate donations or incorrect amounts). However, contributions cannot be refunded based on changes in political preference, personal opinions, or dissatisfaction with campaign messaging or events.

All refund requests are subject to the availability of funds. Because campaign contributions are typically expended quickly and reported to the Hawaiʻi Campaign Spending Commission, we can only issue refunds if the funds are still available and uncommitted. For this reason, refund requests should be submitted as soon as possible after the original contribution.

Refunds will only be issued to the original payment method used at the time of the donation. If we are unable to process a refund, we will refer you to your payment provider for further resolution.

We reserve the right to refuse a refund request for any reason, particularly if the request does not comply with state or federal campaign finance laws.

Our system is monitored for fraudulent activity, including unauthorized credit card use. Contributions identified as fraudulent will be refunded automatically once verified.

If you have questions or believe your contribution was made in error, please contact us at janel.fujinaka@fujinakafor26.com as soon as possible, and we will do our best to assist you.

15. Recurring Contribution and Cancellation Policy

For your convenience, we may offer the ability to make recurring contributions through a secure payment platform. By enrolling in a recurring donation, you authorize us to charge your designated account at regular intervals (e.g., monthly) for the amount you selected. You may cancel your recurring contribution at any time by following the instructions in your donation confirmation email or by contacting us directly at janel.fujinaka@fujinakafor26.com.

We will never alter the amount, frequency, or recipient of your recurring donation without your explicit consent.

16. Reallocation of Unprocessed Contributions

In the rare event that a contribution is not processed, deposited, or accepted due to administrative error or donor request, and a refund is not feasible, the funds will be used to support the general campaign operations of Friends of Janel Fujinaka in accordance with Hawaiʻi campaign finance law.

17. Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability
