If the terms on page 1 differ from the terms on this page then the terms on page 1 will prevail. This is to ensure that the terms written on the front sheet of this Agreement take precedence.
Our Pet Care Plan is designed to help you spread your vet costs in respect of the Services over a 12 month period by making monthly in advance payments to us.
Because your costs for the Services are spread over 12 months, this is a 12 month Agreement and you may not end this Agreement or stop paying the monthly payments other than at the end of a 12 month period. You can not carry over any unused portion to the next contract year.
You can however end your agreement by giving us written notice of your wish to terminate this Agreement at any time from 60 days prior to the anniversary of this Agreement, and notice shall be delivered personally, sent by trackable pre-paid first class post mail, or other next working day delivery service, commercial courier, fax, or e-mail. If this agreement is canceled within the 12 months, the signee will be subject to a $40.00 early termination fee.
Unless you give us notice that you don’t want to renew this Agreement as set out in clause 7 above, this Agreement will renew automatically for another 12 months.

You have a period of 7 days from the date on which you deliver your signed Agreement to us to withdraw your offer and your signed Agreement. If you do this, we shall refund to you any amounts which you have paid to us less the cost of treating your pet(s) to that date of or any administrative costs reasonably incurred by us.

Unless you rectify any non payment we shall also be entitled to claim damages from you and the starting point for the calculation of those damages will be the outstanding monthly payment due by you for the 12 month period. This represents our losses. If plan is canceled due to non payment and/or payment can not be collected, you are subject to a $25.00 insufficient fund fee.
Where the payment is collected by a third party on our behalf you agree and acknowledge that the third party is not liable for the provision of the Services by us and you agree not to bring any claim of whatsoever nature against the third party.
There may be instances where we are unable to provide the Services for reasons beyond our reasonable control. Such circumstances include (but aren’t limited to) the absence or illness of suitably qualified veterinary staff and/or where we have a shortage in the supply of necessary vaccinations or drugs. If we experience delays in the provision of the Services to you for reasons beyond our control, we will do what we reasonably can to minimize these delays and accommodate you and your pet with another appointment. However, we will not be liable to you for a failure to deliver the Services in these circumstances.
