Such fees may be varied from time to time at the absolute discretion of the Council. Fees to cover the accreditation or re-accreditation process must be paid in full prior to the decision of Council whether or not to grant accreditation. Such fees are non-refundable. The Council shall set annual subscriptions each year to be paid by Accredited Providers. The amounts of such fees shall be communicated to the Annual Meeting of Accredited Providers in the year before such fees come into force, as set out in Article 35.
Annual subscriptions are payable quarterly in advance.
Failure to pay such subscriptions for two or more quarters in succession will be brought to the attention of the Council who reserve the right to withdraw accreditation from such a Provider. All Accredited Providers are asked to include a statement of the ODL QC Guarantee in their prospectus or equivalent publicity material. Providers may use the Council s Quality Mark, or state that they are accredited by the Council, in their advertisements, prospectuses and other publicity material, and on their stationery. Providers who wish to include an explanatory paragraph on accreditation in any of their printed materials will seek the prior approval of the Council for any wording. The Council may issue guidelines from time to time on such wording.
