We will handle the currency exchange for posted donations in mail. PayPal will handle the currency conversion on your behalf. Additional information regarding currency conversion is actually provided by PayPal after you have reached step 3 in the donation process.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

To the best of my knowledge, no. At least if it's not a sponsoring issue. In the Australia, donations are only tax-deductible when they are made to non-profit organizations that are permitted to provide tax exemptions by the government. Although these rulers my vary in different countries, you certainly may use received docket for tax purposes. TraditioanlOven.com is not a charity (despite the fact that we provide on line tutorials, WorkShops, services to Open Source projects free of charge.) Wherever you live and you believe this donation may be tax-deductible, please consult local tax laws and/or a tax attorney; to the best of our knowledge, donations to TraditionalOven.com are not tax-deductible anywhere on the planet.

If you are interested in providing a contribution of at least 1000 to TraditionalOven.com, please contact the TraditionalOven.com site founder, Rado Lovis. Serious inquiries of this nature are welcomed.

What do I get for my contribution?...

...Do I get special attention on my support issues or say over what will be implemented next on the site?

TraditionalOven.com works hard to provide free-of-charge Tutorials, Workshops, services to projects on the website. Whether you are a Chef Cook, Builder, Manufacturer, Developer or Visitor of one of these tutorial projects, or using tutorials on TraditionalOven.com, you are deriving benefit from my efforts.

I can not promise that as a donor you would get a higher level of support than is already provided, but may I well take this into account when processing your request. We accept feature requests from everyone, and do not promise particular schedule for implementation of new features, but similarly we may take into account features requested by donors.

How will my contribution be recognized?

We maintain a Supporters page (this is a publicly-accessible page) of donors and their comments.

TraditionalOven.com prohibits the display of other types of donation links or for using web sites for the generation of revenue. These restrictions do not apply to web sites (i.e. "Home Page" link on the Summary page) hosted externally and sponsoring project(s) on TraditionalOven.com (restrictions help control how server disk space, bandwidth, and other resources are used, but does not restrict the display of donation-related content on sites hosted elsewhere).

Are you living only on donations?...

...Where does your money come from? Will TraditionalOven.com go away if I don't donate?

No, donations ARE NOT enabled to try to "save the site". TraditionalOven.com is owned, run or supported by working people with full or part time jobs. TraditionalOven.com is not in financial trouble, nor is it going away. As a company it continues to show steady improvement.

If you like what I am doing for your project; if you like what this site does for the traditional cooking and wood fired oven building community, now you can make a donation and help me out.
