Effective Date: October 22, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Dorian Vale Clinical.

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of our website, educational articles, downloadable resources, digital products, and related services.

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with these terms, please discontinue use of the website.

2. About Dorian Vale Clinical

Dorian Vale Clinical provides educational content and digital study resources intended primarily for phlebotomy students, individuals preparing for clinical rotations, and new phlebotomists.

Our content draws on the author's firsthand experience and professional perspective as a working phlebotomist, together with applicable educational references.

Our goal is to help learners strengthen their understanding of clinical concepts, professional judgment, patient communication, and real-world phlebotomy situations.

3. Educational and Medical Disclaimer

All content provided by Dorian Vale Clinical is for general educational and informational purposes only.

Our articles, PDF guides, scenarios, illustrations, and other materials:

• Are intended to supplement formal phlebotomy education.
• Do not replace accredited training, clinical supervision, professional certification requirements, or institutional policies.
• Should not be treated as personalized medical advice.
• Do not establish a healthcare provider–patient relationship.
• Do not authorize anyone to perform procedures beyond their training, supervision, professional scope, or applicable legal requirements.

Phlebotomy techniques, safety recommendations, laboratory procedures, and professional standards may change over time.

Readers are responsible for consulting current professional guidance, their instructors, supervising clinicians, and applicable institutional procedures before applying information in clinical settings.

When uncertainty exists, seek guidance from an appropriately qualified supervisor.

Dorian Vale Clinical does not guarantee specific educational, employment, certification, examination, or clinical outcomes.

4. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, original content published by Dorian Vale Clinical—including articles, written materials, educational resources, graphics, branding, and digital study guides—is owned by or licensed to Dorian Vale Clinical and protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Purchasing a digital resource does not transfer ownership of its intellectual property rights.

You may not reproduce, distribute, resell, republish, or commercially exploit protected materials without prior written permission, except as permitted by applicable law or the terms of a specific product license.

Third-party references and materials remain the property of their respective owners.

5. Digital Products and Downloads

Dorian Vale Clinical may offer downloadable educational products, including:

• The Veteran's Field Manual

• Phlebotomy Student Bundle collections
• Other digital educational resources

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, these products are delivered electronically.

No physical books or printed materials will be shipped.

Following successful payment, purchasers will receive access to their digital files through the checkout or delivery service identified during purchase.

Customers are responsible for ensuring they have a compatible device, appropriate software, and a valid email address when required for delivery.

If you experience difficulty accessing a purchased file, please contact us for assistance.

6. Personal-Use License

Unless a product explicitly states otherwise, purchasing a digital resource grants the buyer a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable license for personal educational use.

You may:

• Download and read your purchased educational resource.
• Store a personal copy on compatible devices.
• Print a copy for your own study and reference.

You may not:

• Resell or redistribute the files.

7. Pricing, Payment, and Order Processing

Product prices are displayed at the time of purchase and may be changed for future orders.

Payment must be completed through an authorized checkout provider before digital resources are delivered.

Any applicable taxes or additional charges will be disclosed during checkout as required by law.

Purchases made through external platforms, such as Etsy, may also be subject to those platforms' transaction, payment, delivery, and dispute-resolution policies.

8. Refunds and Digital Product Issues

Because digital downloads can be accessed or retained immediately after purchase, refunds are generally not offered for a completed digital purchase solely because the buyer has changed their mind, except where required by applicable law or otherwise stated at checkout.

However, we want customers to receive the products they purchased.

If you receive an incorrect file, experience a technical delivery problem, encounter a materially defective file, or believe a product is significantly different from its description, please contact:

dvaleclinical@gmail.com

We will review the issue and work toward an appropriate resolution, including providing the correct file, correcting an access problem, or issuing a refund where appropriate or legally required.

Purchases made through third-party marketplaces may be subject to additional buyer protection and refund procedures.
