BACKGROUND TO REQUIREMENT. OVERVIEW OF REQUIREMENT 4.1 To grow the social investment market, we launched Big Society Capital in 2012, and we have worked to build a pipeline of investable ventures through the Investment Readiness Programme, which includes the Social Incubator Fund and the Investment and Contract Readiness Fund. This new programme, the Impact Readiness Fund, will build on this work to grow the social investment market by building a robust pipeline of investible ventures for Big Society Capital. The fund will also generate lessons on models of capacity building support that can be scaled up by the Market Development Foundation when it launches in Summer 2015. 4.2 The fund would expect to distribute £1.5m this financial year from October 2014 to March 2015. The contract will include an option to extend for one year. 4.3 The programme would aim to:  Increase the impact of social ventures;  Increase the number and quality of investment ready social ventures able to secure social investment;  Increase the number and quality of investment ready social ventures able to bid for and win public sector contracts;  Build a strong network of social investors and support providers who can support social ventures in the longer term; and who  Help build an approach by which the market can measure and articulate social, as well as financial, return. The following principles underpin the design:  Hardwired to results – focused on ambitious organisations keen to grow and increase their impact. We will seek to engage social investors and commissioners early to maximise chances of success; provider and grantmaker payments will be linked to outcomes.  Market-building – growing a stronger network of providers, giving greater choice and control to frontline social ventures.

  • Basic Requirements To be eligible for PayPal’s Seller Protection program, all of the following basic requirements must be met, as well as any applicable additional requirements: • The primary address for your PayPal account must be in the United States. • The item must be a physical, tangible good that can be shipped, except for items subject to the Intangible Goods Additional Requirements. Transactions involving items that you deliver in person in connection with payment made in your physical store, may also be eligible for PayPal’s Seller Protection program so long as the buyer paid for the transaction in person by using a PayPal goods and services QR code. • You must ship the item to the shipping address on the Transaction Details page in your PayPal account for the transaction. If you originally ship the item to the recipient’s shipping address on the Transaction Details page but the item is later redirected to a different address, you will not be eligible for PayPal’s Seller Protection program. We therefore recommend not using a shipping service that is arranged by the buyer, so that you will be able to provide valid proof of shipping and delivery. • The shipping requirement does not apply to eligible transactions involving items that you deliver in person; provided, however, that you agree to provide us with alternative evidence of delivery or such additional documentation or information relating to the transaction that we may request. • You must respond to PayPal’s requests for documentation and other information in a timely manner as requested in our email correspondence with you or in our correspondence with you through the Resolution Center. If you do not respond to PayPal’s request for documentation and other information in the time requested, you may not be eligible for PayPal’s Seller Protection program. • If the sale involves pre-ordered or made-to-order goods, you must ship within the timeframe you specified in the listing. Otherwise, it is recommended that you ship all items within 7 days after receipt of payment. • You provide us with valid proof of shipment or delivery. • The payment must be marked “eligible” or “partially eligible” in the case of Unauthorized Transaction claims, or “eligible” in the case of Item Not Received claims, for PayPal’s Seller Protection program on the Transaction Details page. • In the case of an Unauthorized Transaction claim, you must provide valid proof of shipment or proof of delivery that demonstrates that the item was shipped or provided to the buyer no later than two days after PayPal notified you of the dispute or reversal. For example, if PayPal notifies you of an Unauthorized Transaction claim on September 1, the valid proof of shipment must indicate that the item was shipped to the buyer no later than September 3 to be eligible for PayPal’s Seller Protection program. PayPal determines, in its sole discretion, whether your claim is eligible for PayPal’s Seller Protection program. PayPal will make a decision, in its sole discretion, based on the eligibility requirements, any information or documentation provided during the resolution process, or any other information PayPal deems relevant and appropriate under the circumstances. To be eligible for PayPal’s Seller Protection program for a buyer’s Item Not Received claim, you must meet both the basic requirements and the additional requirements listed below: • Where a buyer files a chargeback with the issuer for a card-funded transaction, the payment must be marked “eligible” for PayPal’s Seller Protection on the Transaction Details page. • You must provide proof of delivery as described below.
