Terms of service

To be able to contribute to the Reparation Program by extending Sponsorship, a User is required to Sign Up as a Reparation Sponsor on our Website. After successfully signing up as a Reparation Sponsor, a “Sponsor Account” will be created.

The Sponsor may choose to remain anonymous at the time of the creation of a Sponsor Account.

The Sponsor will be given the option to either sponsor an individual Sponsoree or a family and the reparations fees to be charged from the Sponsor towards Sponsorship will vary according to the option selected by the Sponsor.

The details, passwords and other credentials associated with the Sponsor Account must not be shared or distributed.

By logging into the Sponsor Account, the Sponsor may browse Sponsoree profiles by clicking first on “My Account” and then on “Sponsorship Directory”. Once the Sponsoree selects any Sponsoree profile, he may grant Sponsorship by clicking on the Sponsoree profile and then on “Sponsor”. Once the Sponsor selects the Sponsoree, the former will be able to view the DNA results and photo identification of the Sponsoree.

The Sponsorship amount contributed by the Sponsoree will be transferred to the Sponsoree after deduction of the Reparation Fee.

The Sponsor is entitled to:

• a receipt of transfer of Sponsorship,

• Unless the Sponsor had elected to remain anonymous, all the benefits of Reparation Hub Sponsorship Program, and

• a progress report on the individual or family-sponsored, to be provided after 1 year from the date of Sponsorship.

• The User must possess the ability to extend Sponsorship, to one or more Sponsorees, amounting to at least $160,000,000, and

• The User must confirm his identity to the satisfaction of Reparation Hub.
