What your donation is
A donation is a voluntary gift. It pays for sterilisation, veterinary care, medication and food for stray dogs and cats in the south of Mauritius. You don't receive goods or services in return, and nothing is sold through this website.
Currency. Donations are processed in Mauritian rupees (MUR). Giving from abroad works just the same: your bank converts the amount into your own currency automatically.
Guarantees and warranties. As nothing is sold, there are no product guarantees or warranties. What we do commit to is using every donation for our work with the animals.
Paying by card
When you give by card, you choose an amount, check it on a confirmation screen and tick to accept these terms before paying. Your card details are then entered on the secure payment page of The Mauritius Commercial Bank (MCB), run by Mastercard Payment Gateway Services. We never see or store your card number. Every page on this site is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection.
We accept Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards. Your bank may ask you to confirm the payment with a one-time code or in its app.
If your card is declined, no money is taken. You'll see a message saying so and can try again with another card, or give by MCB Juice or bank transfer instead.
Receipts and delivery
Nothing physical is delivered, so there are no delivery charges or delivery times. When a card donation succeeds we email you a receipt straight away. It shows our name, address and website, the date, the amount and what it's for (a donation), and how you paid.
For MCB Juice or bank transfer donations, message us and we'll confirm it has arrived and send a receipt.
Refunds and cancellations
Donations go straight to the animals, so they aren't normally refunded. But mistakes happen, and we will always correct them. If you gave the wrong amount or were charged twice, just get in touch and we'll refund it to the same card or account. Each donation is a one-off payment, so there's nothing ongoing to cancel.
Privacy: how we handle your information
We only ask for what we need: your name, email and the details of your donation, so we can process it and send your receipt. We never see or store your card number.
Your payment is handled securely by our bank. We never sell, rent or swap your details, and we only send our newsletter to people who sign up for it.
We keep donation records only as long as the law requires. This site doesn't use tracking cookies.
Under the Mauritius Data Protection Act 2017 you can ask to see the information we hold about you, have it corrected, or have it deleted where we're not required to keep it. Email [email protected].
Changes to these terms
If we change these terms, we'll update the date below. The terms that apply to a donation are the ones shown when it was made. These terms are governed by the laws of Mauritius.
