12. Limitations and exclusions of liability
12.1 The psychologists/psychotherapists/counsellors are employed or self-employed and follow the regulations and ethical conducts of their professional bodies. Each therapist is a member of one or more of the following professional bodies: Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and The British Psychological Society (BPS); however, all of the psychologists are HCPC regulated. All of the psychotherapists and counsellors are registered with BACP and abide by their Ethical Standards and Framework. Resilient Wellbeing Clinic is not the provider of services for self-employed therapists, the self-employed therapist is the service provider at all times. All of the self-employed therapists have their own privacy policy and terms and conditions, so if you work with a self-employed therapist, the therapeutic contract will therefore be between you, or your child, and the therapist. Resilient Wellbeing Ltd provides the therapeutic rooms and administrative services only to self-employed therapists. Resilient Wellbeing Clinic will not accept liability for any loss or damage resulting from contact or therapeutic work with the self-employed therapist. Any complaint against the self-employed therapist should be raised with the therapist directly and, if required, reported to their respective professional body organisation.
12.2 The limitations and exclusions of liability set out in this Section 9 and elsewhere in these terms and conditions:
(a) are subject to Section 9.1; and
(b) govern all liabilities arising under these terms and conditions or relating to the subject matter of these terms and conditions, including liabilities arising in contract, in tort (including negligence) and for breach of statutory duty, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in these terms and conditions.
12.3 To the extent that our website and the information and services on our website are provided free of charge, we will not be liable for any loss or damage of any nature.
12.4 We will not be liable to you in respect of any losses arising out of any event or events beyond our reasonable control.
12.5 We will not be liable to you in respect of any business losses, including (without limitation) loss of or damage to profits, income, revenue, use, production, anticipated savings, business, contracts, commercial opportunities or goodwill.
12.6 We will not be liable to you in respect of any loss or corruption of any data, database or software.
12.7 We will not be liable to you in respect of any special, indirect or consequential loss or damage.
12.8 You accept that we have an interest in limiting the personal liability of our officers and employees and, having regard to that interest, you acknowledge that we are a limited liability entity; you agree that you will not bring any claim personally against our officers or employees in respect of any losses you suffer in connection with the website or these terms and conditions. This will not, of course, limit or exclude the liability of the limited liability entity itself for the acts and omissions of our officers and employees.
13. Viruses
The security and bug-free operation of the Site cannot be guaranteed by us. It is your responsibility to configure your information technology, computer programs, and platform for accessing the Site. It is advisable to use your own virus protection software.
You are strictly prohibited from misusing the Site by knowingly introducing malicious or technologically harmful material such as viruses, Trojans, worms, logic bombs, or engaging in unauthorized access attempts to the Site, its server, or any connected server, computer, or database. Initiating a denial-of-service attack or a distributed denial-of-service attack on the Site is also prohibited. Such actions would be considered a criminal offense under the Computer Misuse Act 1990. If such a breach occurs, we will promptly report it to the appropriate law enforcement authorities and cooperate by disclosing your identity to them. Any violation of this provision will result in an immediate termination of your right to use the Site.
14. Providing the services
14.1 Each session will need to be paid in advance.
(a) We reserve the right to suspend our services to you if you do not pay within 4 days from any reminder. We will communicate this to you. We will resume the services you requested once you have paid the outstanding amount due.
b) We reserve the right to suspend our services to you if we don't hear from you regarding the confirmation of an appointment within 48h from our reminder/communication. We will communicate this to you. We will resume the services you requested once you confirm in writing the date you would like your next appointment, depending on availability.
14.2 Cancellation policy:
(a) 48-Hour Cancellation Policy: If you cancel your appointment with less than 48 hours’ notice, you will need to pay the full session fee. This also applies if you do not attend the session.
(b) Assessment Sessions: The 48-hour cancellation policy does not apply to assessment sessions. Assessment sessions, including those for therapy and ADHD assessments, are non-refundable.
(c) Service Suspension: We reserve the right to suspend our services to you if you do not attend sessions for two consecutive weeks (whether postponing the session with or without 48 hours’ notice), unless otherwise agreed with your therapist.
(d) Slot Reservation: We cannot reserve a slot for you if your next appointment is not booked in the diary and if you cannot attend the therapy for more than two consecutive weeks.
(e) Limit on Postponements: Clients are allowed to postpone a session to the following week one time within a 30-day period without incurring additional charges, provided that the postponement is communicated at least 48 hours in advance.
(f) Holding Fee for Additional Postponements: If a client wishes to postpone more than once within a 30-day period, a non-refundable holding fee equivalent to the session cost, is required to retain their appointment slot. This fee compensates for the reserved time that could not be offered to another client. If this fee is not paid, the slot will be released and made available to other clients.
(g) Block of Sessions:
- Non-Refundable Payments: Payments made for a block of sessions are non-refundable, as this allows us to reserve your appointments and ensure continuity in your therapeutic journey.
- Postponements: Clients (corporate and individual) are allowed to postpone one session to the following week within a 30-day period without incurring additional charges, provided that the postponement is communicated at least 48 hours in advance. Any additional postponements or failure to attend a scheduled session will result in the forfeiture of that session from the pre-paid block, unless a non-refundable holding fee is paid to retain the appointment slot.
- Unforeseen Circumstances: If unforeseen circumstances affect your ability to attend sessions, please contact us as soon as possible. Rescheduling options may be discussed, subject to availability.
(h) Dispute Resolution: If you believe any charges have been unfairly applied, please contact our clinic staff to discuss and resolve the issue.
14.3 Outstanding Account
If your account remains unpaid, Resilient Wellbeing Clinic will determine the most appropriate course of action to recover the outstanding amount. This may involve:
Engaging a Debt Collector: A debt collector may be instructed to retrieve the owed money. This will result in a surcharge of 15% of the debt plus VAT, as well as additional costs based on the amount owed and the actions taken. By agreeing to these terms, you accept your legal obligation to cover the debt recovery costs, fees, and any expenses incurred throughout the process, which can be enforced against you in court.
Pursuing a Small Court Claim: Resilient Wellbeing Clinic may initiate legal proceedings through a small court claim to recover the outstanding amount. In this case, you will also be liable for court filing fees, legal costs, and any awarded interest or compensation as permitted under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
By agreeing to these terms, you accept responsibility for the debt, any associated recovery costs, and interest at the applicable rate.
Important Notice: If you are using your health insurance provider to fund the treatment, you are responsible for ensuring your policy covers the treatment. If your health insurance provider refuses to pay for part or all of the sessions, you are responsible for settling these payments directly with Resilient Wellbeing Clinic.
