4.1       Pricing. All pricing information on the Website is correct at the time of purchase. We reserve the right to change prices and alter or remove any special offers from time to time and as necessary. All prices on the Website do not include VAT. In accordance with HM Revenue & Customs VAT Notice 700/1 (February 2014) and supplements thereof, VTT is not yet liable for VAT and therefore not VAT registered and does not possess a VAT number.

                  4.2        Services Refund Policy.  Some part of the Website is free to access and use. The following applies to your subscription to, and/or use of, the Services offered through the Website that is paid for by any fee. The Services offered through VTT are educational resources designed for use as training tools for veterinary professionals. Since we provide a wide variety of Services and pricing, we do not offer ‎refunds on all-access yearly subscriptions unless you terminate your subscription within forty-eight (48) hours after you sign up for your subscription. Please note that ‎cancellation of any Services subscription is effective immediately and you will lose access to any certificates, products, or education you may have completed or started on the Website.

We do not offer any refund for pay per course products/courses. If you have paid for an individual course (rather than a subscription fee) you are not entitled to any refund at any time. In addition to the policy above and any applicable Terms in the Subscription Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that all sales of RACE-approved continuing education lectures, all-access yearly subscriptions and all other paid services through the Website or Services are final.

Please ‎note that we do not bear any responsibility, and, therefore, we do not satisfy any ‎refund/return/exchange requests for any content due to incompatibility of our products with ‎third-party software (plug-ins, add-ons, modules, search engines, scripts, ‎extensions, etc.) or dissatisfaction. Due to the frequency with which technologies change, we do not guarantee ‎that our product offerings are fully compatible with any third-party programs, and we do ‎not provide support for third-party applications.‎ We cannot and do not guarantee that we will be able to resolve any technical difficulties you may experience.

4.3.      Continuing Education (CE) Programs. Some CE programs offered by VTT are certified by the Registry of Approved Continuing Education (“RACE”). These are denoted as “RACE Approved” and will list how many hours the CE is approved for. VTT cannot guarantee your satisfactory completion of any CE course or that you will be granted CE credit for having completed a course. It is your responsibility to verify and track its CE completion status and eligibility for credit. Typically, a certificate for completion of CE programs will be provided to you if you successfully complete a RACE approved CE course. Besides watching, listening, and engaging with all materials provided for the course, the Users must (a) successfully complete an online quiz for each CE program (with a score of at least 80% correct); and (b) certify that you are the person who actually took the quiz. It is your responsibility to save and keep track of all CE you have completed on the VTT Sites.

4.4.     Subscription Renewal. VTT may offer continuous service program which will decrease the hassle out of renewing your subscription. Continuous service programs avoid service interruption by automatically renewing your subscription at the current rate. Your renewal will guarantee uninterrupted service until the new expiration date of your renewed subscription. If the user is using an automatic renewal service and would like to cancel their renewal, they must do so within their account dashboard. Once renewed the refund and cancellation policy will be subject to the Terms found here within.

VTT has the right to change CE programs on its Sites whenever, without notice to its Users. This many include offering more, less, different, new, or previously used content. The VTT Sites will constantly be changing and Users should be aware that CE programs are included in that change.
