The following terms and conditions may be subject to variation from time to time as approved by the board of directors.
Wildlife Law members shall pay subscription fees for a minimum term of one year, payable either monthly or annually. Except where required by law, Wildlife Law shall be under no obligation to issue refunds under any circumstances.
You authorise Wildlife Law to charge all subscription fees for the duration of the term agreed to at the time of purchase.
You may cancel your account within fourteen (14) days of making payment to Wildlife Law, provided that services have not yet been used. Wildlife Law will refund any payment made in connection with such cancelled account.
You may cancel your subscription at any time via your Wildlife Law account or by contacting customer support at info@wildlifelaw.co.uk. Cancellations should be made at least one month prior to the renewal date of the annual subscription.
Your subscription begins as soon as your initial payment is processed. Your subscription will automatically renew annually until cancelled.
Renewal notice will be provided where required by applicable law. You authorise Wildlife Law to store your payment method(s) and automatically charge the applicable subscription fees monthly or annually until cancellation.
We may change subscription rates upon annual renewal and will notify you of any changes in advance, providing the option to cancel prior to renewal.
If the applicable VAT rate changes during your subscription term, the tax-inclusive subscription price may be adjusted accordingly on the next billing date.
If your primary payment method fails, you authorise Wildlife Law to charge any alternative payment method associated with your account. Where payment cannot be collected, Wildlife Law reserves the right to suspend membership services until payment is received.
You may update your payment information at any time through your Wildlife Law account.
Members shall have the right to display the Wildlife Law Member logo while actively trading under the company name used when registering for membership, including on premises and official digital media.
Should membership lapse, continued use of the Wildlife Law name and/or logo may constitute an offence under The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008.
Members shall have access to the services included within their selected membership plan.
Consultancy time is calculated in 30-minute increments. Unused monthly consultancy allowances do not roll over and cannot be carried forward to subsequent billing periods.
Certain specialist services, including expert witness reports, probate valuations, court instructions, travel, and complex bespoke projects, may be quoted separately depending on scope and requirements.
Wildlife Law can prepare and submit CITES applications on your behalf. Members benefit from preferential rates for CITES application services.
Standard Article 10 certificate applications are charged at a fixed reduced administration fee for members, plus any applicable government fees and disbursements. Import permits, export permits, re-export permits, and other complex CITES applications are charged at preferential member rates based on the scope, complexity, and time required. A quotation will be provided prior to work commencing.
For non-members, CITES application services are charged at standard non-member rates.
Time spent on CITES application services, including species verification, research, supporting documentation, and liaison with government agencies, will be deducted from the member’s monthly consultancy allowance.
Government fees, disbursements, and third-party charges are payable in addition to administration costs.
Wildlife Law cannot guarantee the outcome of any application, as all applications are assessed independently by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) on a case-by-case basis. Fees paid are non-refundable once an application has been submitted.
Wildlife Law does not currently assist with applications relating to Ivory Act exemption certificates.
Species identification services are provided through photographic assessment and, where necessary, in-person inspection of items and specimens.
Where a higher degree of certainty is required, Wildlife Law can arrange independent scientific or DNA analysis through specialist laboratories at additional cost.
Additional fees may apply where travel is required.
