Subscription Conditions
The only team members from your organisation who are permitted to engage in the program are the registered students consistent with your program subscription type. If you would like to increase the number of students, you will be required to contact our customer care team to upgrade your subscription. Log-ins are not to be shared inside or outside your organisation and you consent to our customer care team communicating with you if concerning log-in activity is identified. At least one registered student from your organisation must be nominated as the supervisor, with your consent given for all program reporting and communications to be directed to that individual.
Subscription Changes
Leading Edge for Veterinarians is a rolling subscription model with most practices choosing to maintain access to the program indefinitely. This ensures that the benefit extends across inevitable team member changes, as well as securing ongoing access to the entire library of modules for ongoing reflection and reference by staff that have already completed the series. Additionally, the library becomes an incredibly powerful tool for managers in formal, individual developmental reviews and feedback conversations with the team. If a team member is replaced, you will need to contact customer care to have that previous student licence reassigned and the old log-in cancelled. This change required to access progress reporting and facilitate accurate Professional Development points assignment.
Payment Terms
Payment terms are via Direct Debit (nominated Visa or MasterCard Credit Card). Invoices will be issued for each monthly automatic payment cycle. Once your registration has been completed your initial payment will be processed, followed by monthly payments, processed on the same day each month as your Leading Edge start date.
Suspension/ Cancellation
Unless otherwise instructed, Lincoln Institute will assume your intention to continue your ongoing subscription on a month-by-month basis, regardless of the duration of your access to the program.
Please advise via email ([email protected]) if you wish to suspend or cancel your Leading Edge for Veterinarians membership. If your request is received more than 14 days from your billing date – your subscription will be cancelled before the next payment is taken. If you request to cancel is within 14 days of your next billing date, you will be charged for the month and the suspension/ cancellation will take effect from the following month.
If you wish to suspend your membership this will be managed on a case by case basis. If you suspend your membership and wish to return to Leading Edge at a later date, you will be welcomed back at the current market price for the program.
