• The final donation amount will be calculated based on the converted net sales in USD and transferred to Evidence Action no later than June 30, 2025.

• Makedo is not liable for fluctuations in currency values or associated fees between the transaction time and the donation payment.

6. Transparency and Public Disclosure

Makedo may publish or share the total donation amount, date of disbursement, and confirmation or acknowledgment from the recipient organisation. This is solely for transparency and does not represent a tax or financial disclosure to any third party.

7. Customer Participation and Tax Implications

• Customers do not need to act to participate; all eligible purchases during the Pledge Period are automatically included.
