DIY Fundraising Pty Ltd (Colour Blast) – Overview
The Platform is an online fundraising facility operated by DIY Fundraising Pty Ltd (Colour Blast). We act as an agent for participating schools, organisations, and other approved clients (collectively referred to as “Beneficiaries”), with limited authority to facilitate the collection, accounting, and distribution of funds raised.
Our role is limited to providing the online fundraising platform and associated accounting services. Beneficiaries and registered Users are given access to tools that enable them to create fundraising campaigns, build web pages, and communicate with their networks. These activities are the sole responsibility of the relevant Beneficiary or User.
As a general principle, DIY Fundraising Pty Ltd (Colour Blast) accepts no liability for the actions or omissions of Beneficiaries or Users in relation to their use of the Platform.
We verify that all Beneficiaries are properly registered during the onboarding process. However, we are not responsible for how a Beneficiary applies funds once they have been distributed. If you are concerned about the use of donations, you should contact the Beneficiary directly.
Payment Processing
DIY Fundraising Pty Ltd (Colour Blast) (Colour Blast) uses trusted, PCI-compliant third-party payment providers to facilitate secure online transactions. By making a payment through the Platform, you agree to be bound by the terms and privacy policies of those payment providers, in addition to these Terms.
All offline funds collected are the sole responsibility of the Organisation and must be managed in accordance with its own policies and procedures.

Fundraising Pages and User Accounts
Users who register with the Platform may establish one or more personal fundraising pages (“Personal Pages”) to raise funds in support of a participating school, organisation, or other approved client (“Beneficiary”).
All funds raised externally by a User for a Beneficiary must be directed through the Platform, except for amounts collected offline (e.g. cash), which must be provided directly to the Beneficiary in accordance with their procedures.
A Personal Page, Event Page, or Microsite may only be created for a Beneficiary that is already registered on the Platform.
