Terms of Service

Welcome to Save the MBR Beagles (“we”, “us”, “our”), operated at savethedogs.uk. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, tools, and services.

By accessing or using our website, creating an account, subscribing to our newsletter, using the Write to Your MP tool, signing up for rescue operations, or submitting a foster/adoption application, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

You must be at least 16 years old to use this website or any of our services. By using the site, you confirm that you meet this age requirement.

Save the MBR Beagles is an independent animal welfare campaign focused on the welfare of beagles bred at MBR Acres, Wyton, Cambridgeshire. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any other organisation or campaign group. Any resemblance to or overlap with other campaigns is coincidental, and we operate entirely independently.

To access certain features of the site, you may need to create an account. When registering, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information (name, email address, phone number, and postcode)
• Keep your login credentials secure and confidential
• Not share your account with others or allow others to access your account
• Notify us promptly if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account
• Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that we reasonably believe contain false information, are being misused, or are being used to undermine the campaign or its participants.

You agree not to use this website to:

• Engage in any activity that is unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful
• Harass, abuse, threaten, or intimidate other users or any individuals
• Post or transmit content that is defamatory, obscene, or incites violence
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the website, other accounts, computer systems, or networks connected to the website
• Interfere with or disrupt the website or servers or networks connected to the website
• Use automated tools, bots, or scrapers to access the website without our written permission
• Collect or harvest personal data of other users
• Use the site in any way that could damage, disable, or impair the website or interfere with any other party’s use of the site

We may investigate violations of these terms and may involve or cooperate with law enforcement authorities in prosecuting users who violate the law.

Our Write to Your MP tool allows you to send a letter to your elected Member of Parliament regarding animal welfare issues. When using this tool:

• You are the sender. Letters are sent from your email address, via our email service provider (Mailgun), to your MP. You are solely responsible for the content of any letter you send.
• We may provide template text as a starting point, but you are free to edit it and you accept full responsibility for the final content.
• Your postcode is used to look up your MP via the TheyWorkForYou API. We do not store your postcode for any other purpose related to this tool beyond facilitating the lookup.
• You must not use this tool to send threatening, abusive, or unlawful communications. Misuse may result in immediate account termination and may be reported to the relevant authorities.
• We do not guarantee that your MP will receive, read, or respond to your letter. We provide the tool as a convenience and are not responsible for delivery failures beyond our reasonable control.

Our website allows users to express interest in participating in rescue operations and to select a risk tier that reflects their willingness to be involved. By signing up:

• Participation is entirely voluntary and at your own risk. You acknowledge that participation in any activity may carry personal, legal, or physical risks.
• We do not provide legal advice. Nothing on this website, including our legal information page, constitutes legal advice. If you need legal advice regarding any activity, you should consult a qualified solicitor.
• We do not direct, control, or instruct individuals to undertake any specific actions. Signing up indicates interest only. Operational details, if any, are communicated separately and participation remains voluntary at all times.
• We are not liable for any consequences arising from your decision to participate or not participate in any activity.
• You are solely responsible for understanding the legal implications of any action you choose to take. We strongly encourage you to seek independent legal advice.

If you submit a foster or adoption application through the site:

• You agree to provide truthful and accurate information about yourself, your household, and your ability to care for an animal.
• Submitting an application does not guarantee approval. We review all applications and reserve the right to approve or decline any application at our sole discretion.
• If approved, additional terms specific to the foster or adoption arrangement may apply and will be communicated to you separately.
• You agree to comply with all applicable animal welfare laws, including the Animal Welfare Act 2006, in your care of any animal placed with you.
