Effective November 1, 2020

At A.C.E.S. our new decade begins with a bigger commitment to building successful animal chiropractic practices all over the world.

Our new policy on refunds for classes reflects this attitude of gratitude for more animal chiropractors who are dedicated to bringing health and happiness to their communities.

Once a student registers for the Animal Chiropractic 101 course they are making a commitment to building a successful animal chiropractic practice.

At A.C.E.S. we have put into place many methods by which this can be achieved.  Dropping out of class, and not completing the course are not effective ways to do this.

Once registered, there are no refunds. Purchase of a course constitutes an intent to complete the course, and the payments.  If the student is making payments toward their course, they are committed to completing those payments just as they are committed to completing the course.  All sales are final.

The same policy applies to continuing education courses.  Doctors who wish to take online or hands on continuing education courses are committed to maintaining their certification.  Making the purchase confirms their seat, and removes someone else’s.  All sales are final.

All disputes are actionable in Bosque County Texas.  Venue and jurisdiction arising over this contract shall arise in Bosque County Texas.
