Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to the official website of We Can Foundation (referred to as "Foundation", "we", "our", or "us"). By accessing this website, making a financial contribution, registering as a volunteer, or requesting community aid, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions and all applicable laws of India.

If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please refrain from using our web portal and electronic payment services.

2. Scope of Charitable Programs

All activities conducted by We Can Foundation are purely non-profit and charitable in nature, centering around our 6 pillars:

3. Online Donations & Section 80G Tax Exemption

We Can Foundation is an authorized charitable organization eligible to grant tax deductions to donors under Section 80G of the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961:

• Voluntary Contributions: All donations made through UPI QR code, mobile intents, or direct bank NEFT/RTGS are purely voluntary and non-reciprocal.
• Mandatory PAN for 80G: To receive a tax deduction certificate valid for Income Tax filings, donors must provide a valid 10-digit Permanent Account Number (PAN). Receipts issued without a PAN will be treated as general charitable receipts without 80G benefits.
• Electronic Receipts: Once verified, an official computer-generated receipt containing the transaction reference, date, and 80G declaration will be made available for instant download and printing.

4. Cancellation & Refund Policy

Duplicate / Erroneous Transactions: In the rare event of technical glitches leading to multiple debit deductions or an erroneous excess amount, the donor must notify us within 7 days at info@wcf-india.org along with bank transaction proof. Legitimate duplicate deductions will be reviewed and refunded to the original payment source within 10–14 business days.

5. Volunteer Participation & Code of Conduct

Volunteers represent the compassionate spirit of We Can Foundation. Every volunteer agrees to:

• Treat all animals, children, community members, and fellow volunteers with utmost dignity, respect, and zero discrimination.
• Follow field safety directives when handling distressed animals or working during flood/disaster relief missions.
• Refrain from soliciting personal funds or unauthorized donations using the Foundation’s name or official apparel.
• Respect privacy by not taking or publishing non-consensual exploitative photographs of beneficiaries.

6. Animal Rescue & Distress Helpline Protocol

Our emergency helpline and reporting forms operate on a best-effort basis depending on volunteer availability, medical team proximity, and severity of injuries. While we strive to attend to every distressed animal, reporting an incident does not guarantee immediate physical rescue. We encourage citizens to provide temporary shade and water until our team arrives.

7. Intellectual Property & Media Rights

All logos, emblems, slogans, documentary photographs, audio-visual clips, and text published on this portal are the intellectual property of We Can Foundation or licensed for non-profit use. Users may share our impact stories and event links for awareness and social advocacy, provided appropriate attribution to We Can Foundation is maintained. Commercial reproduction without prior written approval is strictly prohibited.

8. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms & Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of India.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of this website, online donations, or volunteer activities shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in India.
