Questions, comments and requests regarding these Terms should be addressed to Virtual Recall, 7 Huxley Road, Guildford GU2 7RE, UK or sent by email to hello.au@irecall.vet.

Client engagement messages such as surveys and welcome packs may also be sent. You agree that you will only use this service to message clients where you have permission to do so and only include products that the veterinary clinic has prescribed or is prepared to prescribe again to their client.

2.3 "Writing" includes emails. When we use the words "writing" or "written" in these Terms, this includes emails.
3. Our contract with you
3.1 How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when you return our order form for either iRecall or OurVet.Shop by post, fax, scanned copy or electronic signature system at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us and will be incorporated and subject to these Terms which shall be legally binding on you. Any quotation given by us shall not constitute an offer and shall only be valid for a period of 20 working days from its date of issue.
3.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you. This might be because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because a credit reference we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the services or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
3.3 Your reference number. We will assign a reference number to your order and tell you what it is when we issue you with an invoice. It will help us if you can tell us the reference number whenever you contact us.
4. Our services
4.1 Services may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the services on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the services. The services may vary slightly from those images.
4.2 Reasonable care and skill. We will use reasonable care and skill in providing the services to you.
4.3 Appointment of payment agent. For the OurVet.Shop service, you appoint us as your agent for the purpose of receiving, holding and settling payments to you in connection with Orders placed by Consumers through the site, in accordance with the process set out in the website terms of use. We will settle all payments received by us from Consumers to you, minus any Fees or other amounts or charges owed by you to us in accordance with these Terms.
4.4 Settlement of payments. If we do not settle a payment to you (if, for example only, you owe us more money than we owe you), you agree that the Consumer payment received by us satisfies the Consumer’s obligation to pay for the Order and that your only recourse is against us and not the Consumer.
4.5 You must provide us with up to date bank account information. You are solely responsible for providing us with up to date bank account information in order for us to make payments to it. If we cannot settle the funds into your bank account, the funds will remain in our payment account until such time as you provide us with up to date, complete and accurate information. We do not make interest payments in respect of any balances held by us due to your failure to provide up to date bank account information or otherwise.
4.6 Payment frequency. Payments will be made at least once per calendar month.
5. Your rights to make changes
If you wish to make a change to the services, you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the services, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.
6. Our rights to make changes
6.1 Minor changes to the services. We may change the services:
(a) to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
(b) to change the methods of payment we accept; and
(c) to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example, to address a security threat. These changes will not affect your use of the services.
6.2 Updates to digital content. We may update or require you to update digital content, provided that the digital content shall always match the description of it that we provided to you before you bought it.
6.3 More significant changes to the services or these Terms. If we may make any significant changes to the services or these Terms we will notify you in writing, where possible in advance. If you do not want to accept these changes, then you may have the right to end these Terms.
7. Providing the services
7.1 When we will provide the services. Unless otherwise agreed between us, we will supply the services to you for an initial period of twelve (12) months from the date of installation of the programme, software, equipment, property, materials and other items as are required to provide the services (the Initial Term) and the services shall continue until these Terms are terminated in accordance with these Terms.
7.2 Services to be provided in line with any specification. If a specification has been agreed between us, to the extent possible, we will supply the services to you in accordance with that specification in all material respects. We will use all reasonable endeavours to meet any performance dates specified in your order or any specification that has been agreed, but any such dates shall be estimates only and time shall not be of the essence for performance of the services.
7.3 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the services is delayed by an event outside our control, then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end these Terms. In these circumstances, you may receive a refund for any services you have paid for but not received. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be entitled to a refund of any services which you have already received.
7.4 If you do not allow us access to provide services. If you do not allow us access to your Practice Management System (PMS, the software used by you to store client and patient data) server (or permit connection via alternative means in the case of 'cloud' based systems) to provide the services as arranged (and you do not have a good reason for this) we may charge you additional costs incurred by us as a result. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange access to your premises we may end these Terms.
7.5 What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the services to you, for example, database access details, contact email addresses, brand materials and message copy. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may terminate these Terms in accordance with clause 14 or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the services late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
7.6 Reasons we may suspend the supply of services to you. We have to suspend the supply of services to you for a reasonable period of time to:
(a) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
(b) update the services to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and
(c) make changes to the services as requested by you or notified by us to you (see clause 6); and
(d) or otherwise in accordance with the website terms of use.
7.7 We will endeavour to have our services available to you every day, with the exception of any pre-announced shutdowns for maintenance purposes. However, the services are provided on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis without any representation or warranty of any kind. Our services are dependent on a number of third party providers, including but not limited to your PMS, your internet provider, your power supplier, text message provider, an email server and mail fulfilment company, and the services may be subject to occasional delays, interruptions or other problems dependent on these third party providers. Whilst we will monitor the operation of our system and inform you of any failure or interruption as soon as reasonably possible, it is your responsibility to ensure that the system is operating properly at all times.
7.8 Your rights if we suspend the supply of services. We will use our best endeavours to contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the services, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the services for longer than thirty (30) days in any twelve (12) month period, we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for services while they are suspended. If we suspend the services, or tell you we are going to suspend the services for a period of more than thirty (30) days) then you have the right to terminate these Terms in accordance with clause 14 and we will refund any sums for services you have paid in advance (but not in respect of any services which you have already received, to the extent permitted by law).
7.9 We may also suspend supply of the services if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the services when you are supposed to (see clause 9.6) and you still do not make payment within 14 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the services until you have paid us all outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the services. We will not suspend the services where you reasonably dispute the unpaid invoice (see clause 9.8). We will not charge you for the services during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the services we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 9.7).

(b) Any contract for sale of goods is between the Practice and the Consumer. Once you send an Order Confirmation to the Consumer, this forms a legally binding contract for the sale of the goods by you to the Consumer.

Once you conclude an Order with a Consumer, our site will automatically send the Order to your Fulfilment Partner for it to fulfil and arrange delivery of the ordered goods to the Consumer.

9. Price and payment
9.1 Where to find the price for the services - iRecall
a) The price of services (subject to any applicable VAT) is displayed in pounds sterling and will be the price indicated to you by email prior to you placing your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure the price of the services advised to you is correct. However please see clause 9.5 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the services you order.
b) Additional charges.A fair usage policy applies. SMS messages over 160 characters including spaces may be subject to additional charges. Attempts to use the services for incorrect message types will incur additional charges. Wherever possible, notification will be given by us to you in advance of additional charges. Print and post charges may increase in line with Royal Mail price rises at any time, although we will aim to notify you at least 30 days in advance of any price changes. Addresses which are incorrect (e.g. incorrect postcode) will still be posted, but a surcharge will be incurred per item.
c) Specific support charges.Specific support requests made by you and required to be actioned by us beyond a normal initial setup and configuration may incur additional charges. If any additional charges are to be made, then you will be notified in advance.
9.2 Where to find the price for the services OurVet.Shop
You shall pay us the following fees (all listed fees are exclusive of VAT) in consideration for your use of the services:
(a) Subscription Fees: A monthly fee of £30 per Full time Equivalent Veterinary surgeon
(b) Transaction Fees: 1.99% plus 20 pence of all gross (inclusive of VAT) transactions. A minimum fee of 35 pence will be applied to any transaction. Where transactions are subject to dispute by the cardholder, additional Chargeback fees may also be payable, up to £15 per Chargeback.
(c) Fulfilment Fees: The cost of dispensing, picking, packing and postage for items ordered through the site. These costs vary on an order by order basis depending on the size, weight and number of items in each order. Details of each charge will be provided on a monthly basis.
(d) We may deduct any Fees and any other amounts or charges which you owe us from any and all monies which we have collected from Consumers on your behalf.
(e) If we make refunds to Consumers on your behalf after we have paid over to you the balance of monies paid to us by the Consumer in respect of the sale of the refunded goods, we may invoice you for the balance owed by you to us and/or offset this amount against any future payments which we owe to you, in our discretion.
(f) Lost orders: Lost orders remain the responsibility of the Veterinary Practice. When orders have not arrived within the expected timeframe, they should be reported to our support team immediately. We will investigate such orders and if we agree that they are lost, we may subsidise the cost of a repeat order, up to a maximum value of £50 per year. You may be able to reclaim some costs of lost post via Royal Mail should you chose.
9.3 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If VAT is payable on any goods and/or services under these Terms, you must pay an amount equal to the VAT payable on the payment date. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the services, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the services in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
9.4 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the services we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the services' correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the services' correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
9.5 When you must pay and how you must pay.
We will invoice you on a monthly basis for services provided. You must pay each invoice within 28 calendar days of the date of the invoice. Where any postal charges over a value of £300 per month are incurred, you will be issued an additional invoice at that time and required to pay by direct debit immediately.
9.6 We can charge interest if you pay late. If you fail to pay us on time, then, without limiting our remedies under these Terms, you shall pay interest on the overdue sum from the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment. Interest under this clause will accrue each day at 4% a year above the Bank of England's base rate from time to time, but at 4% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0%.
9.7 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong, please contact us promptly (and within 14 days of the date of the invoice) to let us know.
9.8 If at any time and for any reason other than our default or failure to comply with our obligations to you it is necessary to re-install all or any material part of our system as supplied to you, you may be required pay an additional non-refundable re-installation fee. The costs for reinstallation will be quoted and agreed with you prior to work commencing.

(b) you shall return all of our materials and any deliverables which have not been fully paid for. If you fail to do so, then we may enter your premises and take possession of them. Until they have been returned, you shall be solely responsible for their safe keeping and will not use them for any purpose not connected with these Terms;
(c) you shall stop using Our Sites immediately;
(d) neither you or we shall make any further use of any programme, software, equipment, property, materials and other items belonging to or supplied by the other.

15.3 Any provision of these Terms that expressly or by implication is intended to come into or continue in force on or after termination or expiry of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
16. Dispute resolution procedure
If a dispute arises out of or in connection with these Terms or the performance, validity or enforceability of it (Dispute), then, except as expressly provided in these Terms the parties shall follow the procedure set out in this clause:
(a) either party shall give to the other written notice of the Dispute, setting out its nature and full particulars (Dispute Notice), together with relevant supporting documents. On service of the Dispute Notice, the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute;
(b) if the parties are for any reason unable to resolve the Dispute within 21 days of service of the Dispute Notice, the parties agree to enter into mediation in good faith to settle the Dispute. If the parties cannot agree on who the mediator should be, either party may ask the Law Society of New South Wales to appoint a mediator. The mediator will decide the time, place and rules for mediation. The parties agree to attend the mediation in good faith, to see to resolve the Dispute. The costs of the mediation will be shared equally between the parties. Nothing in this clause will be operated to prevent a party from seeking urgent injunctive relief or equitable relief from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
17. Other important terms
17.1 Client permission. You agree that you will only use the services provided by us to message your clients where you have legal basis to do so.
17.2 Only prescription products. You agree that, when messaging your clients, you will only include within those messages reference to products that your veterinary practice has prescribed/supplied or is prepared to prescribe/supply again to your client.
17.3 Promotional messages. You agree that you will ensure you have received your clients' prior consent prior to us sending any promotional messages to your clients.
17.4 Promotional offers. You agree that we may provide various promotional pricing offers to you at certain times. These are restricted to the individual terms and conditions of the promotion and expiry dates of the individual promotional offer.
17.5 We may transfer these Terms to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under these Terms.
17.6 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree (at our sole discretion) to this in writing.
17.7 Nobody else has any rights under these Terms. These Terms are the basis of a contract between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of these Terms.
17.8 If a court finds part of these Terms illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
17.9 Even if we delay in enforcing these Terms, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking these Terms, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you, but we continue to provide the services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
17.10 These Terms are the only terms applicable. Except for the terms and documents set out in clause 1, these Terms shall apply to the contract between us to the exclusion of any other terms that you seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.
17.11 Force Majeure. We accept no liability for any delays or failures which are caused by events or things which we cannot control, such as Acts of God, war, terrorism, strikes, lockouts, the suspension or termination of any communication or delivery system or any other event or occurrence which would generally be understood to be an event of 'force majeure'.
