Shelters and Rescues Network Program Terms (“S&R Program Terms”)

By joining our Shelters and Rescues Network Program (“S&R Program”) or otherwise participating in, or applying to participate in, the S&R Program, you agree to at all times comply with these S&R Program Terms and Chewy’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and all other S&R Program policies, schedules, guidelines, and documents and materials referenced in these S&R Program Terms or otherwise posted on the S&R Program section of the Site from time to time (collectively, the “S&R Program Policies”).

We reserve the right to reject or suspend your S&R Program registration and/or participation in the S&R Program if any requested information is inaccurate, incomplete or if you are otherwise not in compliance with the S&R Program Policies. If your registration application is accepted, your charitable organization will be a “Registered Organization” for as long as all of your registration information is current and complete and you continue to be an Eligible Organization. “Eligible Organizations” are those charitable organizations that we determine:

  1. are qualified under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service Code;
  2. are public charitable organizations and not private foundations;
  3. are not supporting organizations, unless identified specifically as Type I, Type II, or functionally integrated Type III supporting organizations (as defined in the U.S. IRS Code);
  4. are headquartered in the United States (the 50 states and the District of Columbia);
  5. are in good standing in their state of incorporation and in the states where they are authorized to do business;
  6. are operating an animal rescue, shelter or sanctuary for unwanted, abandoned, abused, or stray animals;
  7. do not engage in, support, encourage, or promote:
    • intolerance, discrimination or discriminatory practices based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age;
    • hate, terrorism, or violence;
    • money laundering;
    • other illegal, deceptive, or misleading activities;
    • do not promote itself, Chewy, animal welfare, or otherwise in a negative way; and
    • are otherwise not in violation of the terms of the S&R Program Policies.

You consent to us sending you notifications (if any), approvals (if any), and other communications relating to the S&R Program, including the S&R Program Policies to the email address then-currently associated with your S&R Program account. You will be deemed to have received all notifications, approvals, and other communications sent to that email address, even if the email address associated with your account is no longer current. You will ensure that all information you provide to us, including your S&R Program application information, email address, and other contact information, is at all times complete, accurate, and up-to-date, and agree that failure to keep such information up to date may result in you no longer being a Registered Organization.

You can only promote or link to the S&R Program site on your website, user-generated content published through a social media account or page, offline mailings, or email correspondence and can only use such of our trademarks or logos, or other content we may make available to you, in all cases in accordance with all S&R Program Policies. You are solely responsible for your site and participation in the S&R Program, your organization, and actions taken by you or on your behalf. We will have no liability for these matters, and you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us and our affiliates and licensors, and our and their respective employees, officers, directors, and representatives, harmless from and against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) relating to these matters. With respect to any emails, social media posts, mailings and other communications you send (or cause to be sent) in connection with the S&R Program, you acknowledge that you are the originator and sender for all purposes (including under the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 and all similar laws).

You acknowledge and agree that any Products provided to you by Chewy or our customers, either through a “wish-list”, donation or otherwise (the “Provided Products”), are intended to be charitable in nature and directly benefit the animals under your care or supervision in accordance with your charitable mission. As such, you agree that the Provided Products will be used or consumed solely by in furtherance of your charitable mission, and will not be resold, remarketed or otherwise transferred to any other party.

You acknowledge and agree that we may or may cause others to publicly disclose (including through a government filing, press release, interview, or any other public statement) the amount of donations provided to you (individually and/or collectively with other charitable organizations) in connection with the S&R Program. Except as expressly permitted by us in writing, you will not issue any press release or make any other public communication with respect to your participation in the S&R Program.

Either you or we may terminate your participation in the S&R Program at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party notice of termination, which for your termination notice will require a written request to be removed from the S&R Program, and for our termination notice may include making a notice available for your review on the S&R Program Site or providing email to the email address then-currently associated with your S&R Program account. We also reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to cancel or otherwise terminate the S&R Program at any time.
