Terms of use
The terms, in plain English
Last updated:
What are the key terms in one paragraph?
charity-shop.org is a shop window: gift prices are suggested amounts for care, and donations are made to and processed by World Animal Rescue Network CIC under its own terms. No Gift Aid applies — WARN is a CIC, not a registered charity. Directory listings are checked regularly but can change.
What this site is
charity-shop.org, operated by Charity Shop UK, is a shop window for animal-rescue giving. Gift prices are suggested amounts for care. Donations are made to and processed by WORLD ANIMAL RESCUE NETWORK CIC (Company no. 17298990) via Stripe Connect or WARN's donate platform, subject to their terms; we are not the recipient of your donation.
How funds are used
Every gift goes to WARN’s “Where it’s needed most” fund. A gift tag names the kind of care you want to support at a suggested amount; it does not restrict how WARN uses the money. WARN receives the donation and is developing its grant-making: it assesses animal-welfare organisations before agreeing support and publishes grant records as they become available.
WARN emails a payment receipt and does not send a certificate for these gifts. The printable gift card on this site is a card you make yourself; it is not a certificate, a receipt or proof of payment.
Gift Aid
This site does not offer Gift Aid. WARN is a Community Interest Company, not a registered charity — UK Gift Aid does not apply.
Accuracy and directories
Rescue and charity-shop directories are signposts to independent organisations we do not control. Opening hours, accepted items, and URLs can change — verify with the organisation before travelling. Report errors to [email protected].
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Statutory consumer rights take precedence where they apply.
Limits
Content is general information, not veterinary or financial advice. We work to keep the site available and accurate but cannot guarantee either at all times.
These terms are written for clarity. They are not formal legal advice.
