Pricing and transparency policy

Veda Campus Price Promise

Simple pricing. Clear rules. No surprises.

Veda Campus believes customers should know what they're paying, understand why prices may change, and have a fair opportunity to plan for those changes.

Our Veda Campus Price Promise establishes how we communicate pricing changes and protects eligible recurring members from immediate price increases.

Pricing IntegrityTransparencyPredictability

Our commitment

Our Price Promise

Veda Campus believes that pricing should be transparent, predictable, and communicated honestly.

Our prices may change as Veda Campus grows, improves its technology, expands support, adds new capabilities, or introduces new programs. When pricing changes, we will clearly communicate what is changing, when it takes effect, and who is affected.

We also believe loyal recurring members deserve a reasonable transition period. Eligible recurring members who were active subscribers as of December 31 immediately preceding a new calendar year's pricing will receive Price Protection at their existing subscription price for 5 additional months into the new calendar year, provided they maintain uninterrupted recurring membership.

We will never represent a price increase as something it is not. When we increase pricing, we will explain the reason for the change and, where applicable, explain what additional value, programs, infrastructure, or improvements the additional revenue is intended to support.

Our goal is simple

  • You should know what you're paying.
  • You should know when it can change.
  • You should know whether you're protected.
  • And you should understand what Veda Campus is building with the money it receives.

Transparency isn't a marketing promise at Veda Campus. It's an operating standard.

Price Protection

How Price Protection works

Eligible recurring members receive a 5-month transition period when new calendar-year pricing is introduced.

December

Qualify

Active recurring member on December 31.

January to May

Protected

You keep paying your existing subscription price.

June

New price begins

The new calendar-year price applies.

Example of how Price Protection would apply

  1. 2027 price$14.99/month
  2. December 31, 2027Member is active and recurring
  3. 2028 new price$19.99/month
  4. Price Protection periodJanuary, February, March, April, May. Member continues paying $14.99/month
  5. June 1, 2028New price applies

Illustrative example. It does not represent an announced Veda Campus price change.

Who qualifies?

To qualify for Veda Campus Price Protection:

  1. 1You must have an active paid recurring subscription as of December 31 immediately before the new calendar year's pricing takes effect.
  2. 2Your subscription must remain continuously active during the Price Protection period.
  3. 3Your account must remain in good standing and comply with Veda Campus's applicable Terms.
  4. 4Price Protection applies to the eligible recurring subscription price that you were paying at the qualifying December 31 date.
  5. 5Price Protection does not transfer between accounts or users.
  6. 6Price Protection does not apply if a member cancels, allows the subscription to lapse, or otherwise ends the qualifying recurring subscription before the protected period ends.
  7. 7If a member later returns after cancellation or expiration, the current publicly available price at that time applies unless Veda Campus expressly states otherwise.
  8. 8Price Protection applies to eligible recurring subscription pricing and does not automatically apply to transaction fees, usage-based fees, one-time purchases, optional add-ons, promotional pricing, or Sponsor University unless Veda Campus specifically states otherwise.

Important clarification

The 5-month Price Protection period is a loyalty benefit, not a permanent price guarantee. Veda Campus reserves the ability to change pricing in future calendar years.

04

06

Report results

Veda Campus's goal is not to promise that prices will never change. Our promise is that we will be honest about when they change, clear about why they change, and fair about how we transition existing members.

Sponsor University price policy

Why Sponsor University doesn't receive the same 5-month Price Protection

Sponsor University is a brand activation and program partnership rather than a standard recurring student-business subscription.

Because Sponsor University pricing is tied to the scope, value, program funding, student initiatives, and resources associated with the activation, new Sponsor University pricing may apply to existing sponsors when the new pricing becomes effective.

Veda Campus will communicate Sponsor University price changes in advance and clearly explain what is changing and what additional programs, capabilities, or student initiatives the new pricing is intended to support.

No automatic grandfathering for Sponsor University

Transparency replaces grandfathering: sponsors will be told what is changing, why it is changing, when it takes effect, and what the additional investment is intended to support.

Reusable format
