TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The schedule of all services will be arranged between Antoinette van Belle and the client and can be booked up to 3 months in advance. Antoinette van Belle will recommend the frequency of sessions based on a professional assessment of the client’s requirements. This recommendation, or plan, is not binding and may be altered and adjusted throughout the journey by mutual agreement, in accordance with the terms set out in this agreement.
The number and frequency of session will be agreed at the start between Antoinette van Belle and the client, and confirmed by Antoinette van Belle by email or written correspondence. Where no specific number is agreed, sessions will be provided on a session by session basis.
In return for the fees payable by the client (or by a third party on their behalf), Antoinette van Belle agrees to provide the service as described below and in accordance with the terms and conditions set out below. The client agrees to pay fees for the service on the terms and conditions set out below (in situations where a third party pays the fees, the third party counts as an agent acting on behalf of the client).
The date that the first session takes place shall be deemed to be the start date for the service. Where any client is unhappy with any of the terms and conditions they can contact Antoinette van Belle to discuss any concerns and see if they can be resolved before the first session. Participation by any individual in the first session constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions.
Format of Sessions
Face to face, via Zoom, telephone, or other format where such is agreed.
The length of each session is as agreed between Antoinette van Belle and the client before sessions commence.
Session Fees
In accordance with Antoinette van Belle`s current per session fee or fee for a package of sessions, or any other such fee as shall be agreed and notified to the client. Antoinette van Belle will confirm the fees in writing, usually by email, unless this is impractical. The number of sessions for which payment is required in advance will be agreed before sessions commence.
Additional Sessions
Antoinette van Belle may agree to provide additional sessions after completion of the initial agreed session(s). These terms and conditions will apply to any additional sessions so provided and the per session fee will remain the same as originally agreed except where Antoinette van Belle notifies the client in writing by letter or e-mail of a change to the fee or to any other term or condition in accordance with the section in these terms and conditions headed “Variation of Terms and Conditions”.
Dates and Times of Sessions
The date and time of the first session and any subsequent session will be agreed between Antoinette van Belle and the client by phone or email and confirmed by Antoinette van Belle by email or letter.
Payment Terms
Fees can be paid online by debit or credit card using the Paypal payments systems, by standing order, or by bank transfer. Where receipts are requested by the client, they will be sent by e-mail unless otherwise requested.
Fees are payable in advance of each session unless otherwise agreed. Where payment has not been received by Antoinette van Belle in advance of a session, Antoinette van Belle is not obliged to provide the session.
Between Sessions
Antoinette van Belle may assign the client tasks or exercises to complete between sessions. There is no obligation on the client to complete these items of ‘homework’, but not doing so may slow the client’s progress in gaining improved quality of life or achieving desired business or personal outcomes.
The client may contact Antoinette van Belle by phone or e-mail between sessions to seek clarification regarding anything arising from a session or for administrative purposes (e.g. where a client needs to rearrange a session or make a payment). Additional sessions can also be provided between sessions but there will be an additional charge for this. Antoinette van Belle will always advise a client in advance if the nature of a client’s contact is likely to incur an additional charge and no such charges will be imposed without the client’s agreement.
Rearranging Sessions
If a client needs to rearrange a session, they should provide at least 24 hours notice. No refunds will be given to clients for unused sessions unless 24 hours notice has been given. In exceptional circumstances Antoinette van Belle may need to rearrange a session. In those instances she will also give the client 24 hours notice where practical.
Where a client pays for a session or sessions in advance they must have the session(s) that they have paid for within 6 months of the payment or their fee is forfeited.
Confidentiality
Personal information or business information supplied by clients in sessions will be treated as confidential. It will not be disclosed to a third party without the client’s prior permission, save where required by law or where action might be necessary to prevent harm to the client or someone else.
Early Termination
In exceptional circumstances, such as illness or unavailability due to bereavement or other commitments, inappropriate behavior by the client, actual or potential conflict of interest, or other reasons, Antoinette van Belle can decide to terminate the service to the client early or refuse or be unable to provide further sessions to the client. In such a circumstance the client will be given reasonable notice of termination by Antoinette van Belle and will be refunded any advance payments made for sessions not yet provided.
Responsibilities
Antoinette van Belle will seek to enable the client to improve their quality of life or level of business success and to achieve their desired outcomes. Remarkable results can be achieved where clients follow a clear plan in a committed way. However, the client has sole responsibility for taking important decisions in their life or business. Anzoinette van Belle has no liability for any loss incurred by any client, whether financial or otherwise, following commencement of sessions, or for any perceived failure by the client, whether justified or otherwise, to achieve a material improvement in quality of life or business or to achieve their desired outcomes or goals.
Variation of Terms and Conditions
Where an initial number of sessions is agreed, any changes to these terms and conditions intended to take effect prior to the conclusion of those initial number of sessions will only have effect if agreed by both, Antoinette van Belle and the client, and confirmed by Antoinette van Belle in writing by email or letter. In other cases, Antoinette van Belle may change any of these terms or conditions including the per session fee by giving the client one week’s notice in writing by letter or e-mail of the change(s). If following receipt of such notification of change, the client no longer wishes to proceed with further sessions, they may withdraw from the service immediately by giving notice in writing by email or letter and they will then be entitled to a full refund of any fees paid in advance for sessions not yet provided. Such notice will be effective on receipt by Antoinette van Belle.
