The following points make up the Terms and COnditions of your Contract with your veterinary practice and are effective from 1st July 2018. These are very important and we strongly advise that you read through them carefully and keep them in a safe place so that you can refer to them in the future, should you wish to. These terms and conditions should be read in conjunction with your practice's health plan leaflet and any practice-specific notes or requirements in the leaflet will form part of these terms and conditions. In the event of a conflict your practice's health plan leaflet and any practice-specific notes or requirements will prevail. 1. Explanation of the terms used In this agreement the Contract means terms and conditions and any other contractual terms between you and your veterinary practice which you have signed. Your veterinary practice and 'your practice' means the veterinary practice named on the Application Form, 'you' means the Payment Plan holder who has signed the Application Form and 'we' and 'our' means the AHC Ltd , a company incorporated in England and Wales with registered number 03302348 and whose registered office is at The QUorum BS1 3AE. 2.

Alist of inclusions is available from your practice. 4. Treatment to which you are not entitled. The Contract is limited to the provision of routine preventive healthcare and only entitles your pet to the treatment required to monitor its health as specified by Station Bridge Vets. 5. Treatment by another veterinary practice Your Contract is with your practice. Where you choose for your pet to have routine care or treatment provided by a practitioner independently of your practice your pet will not be covered by your Pet Health Plan. 6. Payment You must pay your initial joining fee, which covers you for life, each pet's joining fee and monthly fee by Direct Debit in favour of The HC Ltd as collecting agent for your practice. Any other amounts due to your practice for treatment not covered by The COntract are payable directly to your practice. Your liability to pay the monthly fee continues until the Contract is ended in accordance with these terms and conditions and no refund of fees will be allowed except in the case of administrative error or death of the pet or client. 7. Alteration of monthly fees and categories Your practice will normally review your pet's monthly fee once a year. Your pet's monthly fee will also change as different age and weight thresholds are reached. Should your pet's fees change, you will be given at least one month's notice (correspondence will be sent as per the comminucation preference on the application form). 8. Direct Debit changes Following a decrease in monthly fee or variation in discount available to you, your direct debit will be changed at the next available collection date. Where you are given notice of an increase in your monthly fee, your Direct Debit will be changed at the end of the notice period unless in the meantime you end your Contract. 9. Your responsibilities The date of birth and weight of your pet(s) entered on your application form will be the date of birth and weight used to determine the fee category your pet(s) falls into. If the month of birth is unknown we will use 1st January of the specified year for this purpose. If the year of birth is unknown an estimate should be made. You are responsible for ensuring your pet(s) attend(s) the practice regularly and that you comply with the advice and treatment your veterinary practice prescribes for you pet(s). Products included in the plan must be collected within 3 months of treatment becoming due, unless your practice notify you otherwise in writing. If in the reasonable opinion of your practice they are not able to maintain your pet(s) health due to any act or omission on your part your practice may end the Contract immediately by giving notice to that effect. 10. Ending the Contract. You may cancel your Contract by contacting The AHC Ltd or your practice within the cancellation period which is 14 days following the start of your contract. Following this period you may end the Contract by giving not less than 21 days notice to your practice expiring on the last day of a month. The practice may end the Contract by giving you notice expiring on the last day of a month after no less than one month's notice. If you cancel at any time other than on an anniversary of joining the plan your practice may charge you either the outstanding amountfor treatment received or the monthly payments due until the anniversay of your plan whichever is lower. 11. Non-payment Non-payment of fees. If we attempt but are unable to collect a monthly payment The AHC Ltd will automatically attempt to collect that payment 10 working days later. If the payment fails at the second attempt then your veterinary practice will need to collect the outstanding debt from you. The AHC Ltd will continue to collect the standard monthly amount on the usual date the following month and in subsequent months and your contract will remain in place. 12.
