- The Submission Fee is not refunded if the submission is reviewed and product is not
awarded the VOHC Seal.
- An Annual Maintenance Fee (see Fee table) will be billed on the anniversary of the
awarding of the Seal.
- The VOHC Accepted® Seal is awarded initially for a 3-year period. The Agreement will
be extended by VOHC provided the Product has not been changed in any significant
way and provided the VOHC Efficacy Standard has not changed such that the data included
