It is to fill in your data to create an account, "Name" /"Specialty"/ email ... and other data, through the following page: (http://www.medicalacademy.org/portal/register-step1 ).
Purchase of access to the library of the Academy only during the period of subscription, does not mean that you own any of the materials or features provided. We announce that all services and other features that are not entitled to access to the library are add-on services and are not included in the subscription fee. This results in the right of the Virtual Medical Academy to cancel it or not to provide it for any reason and notify the members by email.
Subscription fees vary according to the package to be subscribed. Four packages are currently available as follows:
Free Package: Free of charge.
First package: 2746.2 SAR per year

Subscription fees are fixed and no additional charges are required from the member during the subscription period.
All members can upgrade the subscription from either the free package to one of the paid packages or from one paid package to higher paid packages.
When requesting a package upgrade, the fee of the first package must be paid if the member package is the free package, If the member package is the first package, the member must pay the difference between the two packages.
In order to upgrade from the first package (with a fee of 2746.2 SAR annually), the member must pay the difference between the lower package and the higher package (with a fee of 3713.235 SAR annually), ie 3713.235 - 2746.2 = 967 SAR. Also, Membership cannot be transferred from a higher package to a lower package after 7 days of subscription.
Your subscription will be renewed automatically at the end of each year.
Please Make sure from the followings:
- Always keep your billing information updated to avoid billing failures for the subscription and to ensure we charge the correct card. If auto-renewal failed, your membership plan will be downgraded to a free plan within 7 days.
- If you don't want the subscription to continue, you must cancel it before the end of the period to avoid being charged for the next subscription period.
You can unsubscribe and refund the full fee within the period of cancellation and refund, which is 7 days from the payment of the fees, provided that the member does not benefit from discounts for paid activities which are not within the recorded academic library. If the member uses any of the discounts within the first 7 days, the discount will be deducted from the subscription fees and the rest of the fees will be returned to the member.
If the set of deductions used is greater than the membership fees, the member is not entitled to claim participation fees and has the right to cancel or retain membership.
After 7 days of subscription without requesting the member to cancel his subscription and refund his fees, the member is not entitled to request a refund of fees, and he may transfer his membership to another member, by sending an official request to us, and Virtual Medical Academy is not responsible for collecting membership fees from the new member to the original subscriber.
The member's access to his / her account in the system is terminated upon termination of his or her membership in the trial period or annual membership or when he/she is requested to cancel his / her membership during the cancellation and refund period or after that upon the member's request. The termination of subscription means that the member can not access the library of the Academy, and can not benefit from the other membership advantages, in addition, to cancel the registration of the member in any future performance registered through the paid membership and benefited from the advantages of membership such as discounts and others before the cancellation of subscription.
