Coronavirus (COVID-19) Extraordinary Terms and Conditions

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic and the challenges that it brings, Vets North has updated its Terms and Conditions as follows:

For any booking made until 16th September 2021, the following changes to our general cancellation terms apply: you will have the right to a full refund for the event if you cancel any time ahead of the event start date.

Please note this applies to Vets North tickets only and not any other costs, charges and bookings around the date such as hotels and travel made by the individual. As such under the circumstances, we also recommend checking on the flexibility of that booking and/or using a credit card for greater security.

Due to the current climate as a result of COVID-19, there will be uncertainty and local governments imposing restrictions at short notice. We will notify you if we need to make any changes to the event in order to meet the latest government guidelines.

All remaining Cancellation Policies apply together with Vets North’s General Terms and Conditions.
