8.1 Any participating company or reward provider other than VAA may withdraw from the programme at any time or change their terms of business and terms of supply of goods and services. The changes are entirely beyond our control, so we cannot guarantee that any participating company, other than VAA, will continue to participate in the programme or offer rewards, nor can we guarantee the continued availability of any particular method of gaining miles or any particular reward. VAA will not provide compensation or any substitute reward in the event a third party supplier withdraws from the programme whenever practical, VAA will give you notice of participating companies or reward providers who have withdrawn from the programme, or of any other change in the method or rate of earning miles, or any change in the number of miles required to obtain rewards.

8.2 VAA is not responsible for any consequences resulting from reward travel plans which are disrupted, changed or cancelled due to the withdrawal or other action of a reward provider, which is beyond the reasonable control of VAA.

8.3 We will honour miles which have been allocated and reported by a participating company prior to its withdrawal from the Programme. However, we are not responsible if a participating company which withdraws from the Programme fails to issue miles or notify us of miles or provide any rewards.

8.4 VAA reserves the right to modify the Programme rules at any time. This may include, and is not limited to, the allocation of miles and availability of rewards, the exclusion of discount fare levels, the amendment of the tier point structure, rates and/or tariffs, and the alteration of rates of miles required to redeem rewards at any time.

8.4.1 VAA reserves the right to add or modify blackout dates, and to limit the number of rewards available to any/all destinations.

8.5 VAA reserves the right to change, replace, temporarily suspend, terminate or cancel any aspect of the Programme, or the Programme in its entirety, at any time with immediate effect upon notice to the members. This means that regardless of the amount you participate in the Programme, your right to accumulate miles and claim rewards may be altered or terminated at any time.

8.6 VAA may terminate this programme at any time upon six months prior notice to members. You will then have six months to use previously accrued miles for rewards. No new miles may be earned during the notice period. Upon termination of the programme at the end of such notice period, all rights of all members against VAA will cease and, in particular, miles shall cease to be exchangeable for rewards.

8.7 VAA may terminate the programme immediately if required to do so or by law, or if VAA in its absolute discretion believes it is desirable as a result of any change in the law or any other regulations.
