Parish partner terms

Cross & Crown, 119 W Garro St, Plymouth, IN 46563 ("we"). The parish named in the approved application ("the parish").

1. The code

We issue the parish a discount code worth 10% off merchandise at crossandcrownjewelry.com, a share link that applies it automatically and a QR code for that link. The code cannot be combined with other discount codes. We may retire a code that is misused, with notice to the parish.

2. Profit

For each order placed with the parish's code, profit means, excluding all sales tax:

1. the merchandise amount the customer paid after the 10% discount and any other discount on the order;
2. plus the shipping amount the customer paid;
3. minus our product cost for the items (the unit cost recorded for each item when the order is first recorded; items cancelled before they ship are not costed);
4. minus our actual cost to ship the order;
5. minus the payment processing fee charged on the order, or where no fee is reported, 2.9% + $0.30;
6. minus every refund to the customer on the order (excluding refunded tax).

3. The parish share

The parish receives 60% of the profit on each order, rounded to the cent. An order whose profit is zero or less earns nothing, and never reduces another order's share, except as set out in section 5.

4. Statements and payment

Each order belongs to the calendar month in which it was placed (store time, Central). Statements close at the end of each month and are paid on the 1st of the following month (the next business day if the 1st is not one), by check made out to the parish or through a payment service that collects the parish's payment details directly. We never request bank details by email. A completed W-9 is required before the first payment; amounts are held, not lost, until it arrives.

5. Refunds after payment (clawback)

If an order is refunded or its figures change after its share has been paid, the difference is shown as an adjustment line on the next statement. Paid statements are never reopened. If adjustments make a statement negative, the balance carries forward against future shares; the parish is never asked to repay money.

6. Disclosure

Wherever the parish promotes the code, it includes this line:
"60% of our profit on orders with our parish code supports [Parish]."
Cross & Crown's own materials for the parish carry the same line.

7. Nature of the payments

Payments are made under a promotional partnership and are a marketing expense of Cross & Crown. They are not charitable donations, and customers' purchases are not tax-deductible contributions. Some states regulate cause-related marketing (commercial co-venturer rules), and some dioceses require parishes to obtain approval for commercial partnerships. Each party is responsible for any registration or approval that applies to it, and we will provide the information needed.

8. Privacy

Statements show order number, date, total, profit and share only. We do not share customer names, addresses or email addresses with the parish. Our privacy notice explains what this site collects.

9. Ending the partnership

Either side may end the partnership at any time by email. The code is retired, and the share on orders already placed is paid on the normal schedule.
