• Preparing and delivering ministry courses, workshops and training programmes.

3. Legal Recipient of Donations

Donations submitted through our website are paid to THE MORNING STAR MINISTRIES LTD, the UK-registered limited company operating under the TMS Ministries trading name.

Donations are received and administered by the company in accordance with its legal obligations, applicable accounting requirements and relevant UK tax legislation.

TMS Ministries will maintain appropriate financial records of donations received and their administration.

A donation does not, by itself, create an ownership interest in the company or give the donor any entitlement to company profits, shares, assets or decision-making authority.

4. Voluntary Nature of Donations

Donations are voluntary contributions intended to support the work of TMS Ministries.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, donations are not payments for specific products or services and do not entitle the donor to receive a book, course, recording, event ticket, consultation or other benefit in exchange.

Purchases of books, digital products, courses, event tickets and services are separate transactions and are subject to the relevant terms and refund policies.

Where a payment includes a product, service, sponsorship benefit or other consideration, it may need to be treated differently from a purely voluntary donation.

5. Donation Payments

Donations may be submitted through the payment options made available on our website.

Where Stripe is used, payment processing is subject to Stripe's applicable terms and payment procedures.

Before submitting a donation, please check the amount and payment details carefully.

A payment confirmation indicates that a transaction has been processed or recorded; it does not constitute a representation that the donation qualifies for charitable tax relief.

6. Use and Administration of Donations

Donations will be administered by THE MORNING STAR MINISTRIES LTD in accordance with the company's legal responsibilities and applicable accounting and tax requirements.

Unless a specific purpose has been agreed to in writing, TMS Ministries retains discretion to allocate donations among its ministry activities and associated operating costs.

Where a donation has been expressly accepted for a particular project, any applicable restrictions or arrangements will be considered when administering the funds.

7. Tax Treatment and Charitable Status

THE MORNING STAR MINISTRIES LTD is a UK limited company. Its tax obligations are determined by the applicable UK tax legislation and the circumstances of its activities and receipts.

Donations to TMS Ministries should not automatically be assumed to qualify for Gift Aid, charitable tax relief or tax-deductible treatment.

The fact that a contribution supports Christian ministry activities does not, on its own, establish that the recipient qualifies for the tax treatment available to a recognised charity.

TMS Ministries will not represent a donation as Gift Aid eligible or promise a particular tax benefit unless the relevant eligibility and legal requirements have been verified.

Donors who require confirmation of the tax treatment of a contribution should obtain independent tax advice in their jurisdiction.

8. Donation Refunds

Please check the donation amount before confirming payment.

If you believe you have made an accidental, duplicate or incorrect donation, contact us at info@tmsminis.com as soon as possible.

Please provide the transaction reference, date and amount, together with a brief explanation of the issue.

We will review the request and determine the appropriate response in accordance with the circumstances, applicable law and payment-provider requirements.

Where a refund is approved or legally required, we will arrange it through the appropriate payment method where practicable.

Nothing in this policy excludes or restricts any rights that cannot legally be excluded.

9. Recurring Donations

If recurring donations are offered, the amount, payment frequency, and method for cancelling future payments will be clearly disclosed before the donor confirms the arrangement.

Donors who have established a recurring contribution will be provided with appropriate instructions for cancelling future payments.

Current recurring-donation arrangements: To be confirmed before a recurring donation facility is published.

10. Privacy and Donor Information

Personal information collected in connection with donations will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Information may be used to process payments, issue confirmations, maintain financial records, respond to enquiries and meet applicable legal obligations.

Payment information may be processed by Stripe or another payment provider enabled on our website.

We do not sell donors' personal information to third parties.

11. Changes to This Policy

TMS Ministries may update this Donations Policy when its donation arrangements, business operations or legal obligations change.

The current version will be published on our website with its effective date.
