Nature and Purpose of Our Services

The information provided on the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. The Services may contain links to other websites (“Third-Party Websites”) as well as articles, photographs, text, graphics, pictures, designs, music, sound, video, information, applications, or other content belonging to or originating from third parties (“Third-Party Content”). Such Third-Party Websites and Third-Party Content are not investigated, monitored, or checked for accuracy, appropriateness, or completeness by us, and we are not responsible for any Third-Party Websites accessed through the Services or any Third-Party Content posted on, available through, or installed from the Services. Your use of Third-Party Websites and Third-Party Content is at your own risk.

You also warrant that you will maintain the accuracy of such information and promptly update it as necessary. Furthermore, you represent that you have the legal capacity and agree to comply with these Terms and that you are not a minor in the jurisdiction in which you reside. Your use of the Services must not violate any applicable law or regulation. As a User, you agree to engage in activities that support our mission and respect the integrity of our organization and the wildlife under our care. You may not access or use the Services for any purpose other than that for which we make the Services available. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to: systematic retrieval of data or other content from the Services to create or compile, directly or indirectly, a collection, compilation, database, or directory without written permission from us; making any unauthorized use of the Services, including collecting usernames and/or email addresses of users by electronic or other means for the purpose of sending unsolicited email; circumventing, disabling, or otherwise interfering with security-related features of the Services, including features that prevent or restrict the use or copying of any Content or enforce limitations on the use of the Services and/or the Content contained therein; using the Services to advertise or offer to sell goods and services; engaging in unauthorized framing of or linking to the Services; harassing, annoying, intimidating, or threatening any of our employees or agents engaged in providing any portion of the Services to you; attempting to impersonate another user or person or use the username of another user; using any information obtained from the Services in order to harass, abuse, or harm another person; or submitting false reports of abuse or misconduct to us, especially in regards to false reports of injured wildlife.

Disclaimer Regarding Wildlife Rescue Information

The Services provide information regarding wildlife conservation, best practices for coexistence, and protocols for reporting injured or orphaned animals (“Rescue Information”). This Rescue Information is for educational and guidance purposes only and is based on general principles of wildlife rehabilitation. Two Hearts is not responsible for any injury, loss, or damage that may result from the User’s attempted application of this Rescue Information. Wildlife rescue and handling carry inherent risks to both the animal and the human handler, including potential injury, transmission of disease (zoonosis), and legal penalties for unauthorized possession of protected species. The Services do not replace immediate professional medical or veterinary advice or intervention. You acknowledge that the telephone triage provided by Two Hearts staff is based solely on the information you provide and is not a substitute for an in-person veterinary examination or professional assessment. Your decision to handle, contain, or transport any wildlife is done at your own risk and liability, and you must strictly adhere to all local, state, and federal laws regarding the handling and possession of wildlife. We strongly caution against intervening with wildlife without prior consultation with a licensed professional.

Donations and Financial Transactions

All donations made through the Services are non-refundable and are considered voluntary contributions to support the charitable mission of Two Hearts Wildlife Rehab Rescue and Sanctuary, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We utilize secure, PCI-compliant third-party payment processors to handle all financial transactions, and we do not store your full credit card details. By submitting a donation, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the payment method designated and that you are making a legal transaction. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any donation transaction if fraud or illegal activity is suspected. Your donation is tax-deductible to the full extent of the law, and we will provide the necessary tax documentation in compliance with IRS regulations. Two Hearts directs all funds to support its primary charitable activities, including patient care, facility maintenance, medical supplies, and educational outreach, as determined by our Board of Directors. We do not guarantee that your donation will be spent on a specific animal or project unless explicitly designated as such during the checkout process (e.g., a specific sponsorship package).

Volunteer and Service Agreements

By submitting an application to volunteer or accepting a formal position with Two Hearts, you acknowledge that you will be required to execute separate, specific agreements, waivers, and confidentiality documents (“Service Agreements”). These Service Agreements will govern the terms of your service, including your schedule, duties, safety protocols, required training, and acceptance of risk inherent in working with wild animals. These Terms and Conditions supplement and do not replace the stricter requirements and liability waivers contained within those Service Agreements. If any conflict arises between these Terms and a specific executed Service Agreement, the terms of the Service Agreement shall prevail regarding your service and liability to Two Hearts. You acknowledge that volunteering is a non-paid activity and does not create an employer-employee relationship, and you are solely responsible for compliance with all safety procedures and instructions given by Two Hearts staff.

Termination

These Terms and Conditions remain in effect while you use the Services. Without limiting any other provision of these Terms, we reserve the right to, in our sole discretion and without notice or liability, deny access to and use of the Services (including blocking certain IP addresses) to any person for any reason or for no reason, including without limitation for breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in these Terms or of any applicable law or regulation. If we terminate or suspend your account for any reason, you are prohibited from registering and creating a new account under your name, a fake or borrowed name, or the name of any third party, even if you may be acting on behalf of the third party. In addition to terminating or suspending your account, we reserve the right to take appropriate legal action, including without limitation pursuing civil, criminal, and injunctive redress.
