YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

In addition to the responsibilities noted above, it is your responsibility to provide complete and accurate information at the time of booking or purchase.

CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

You acknowledge that you do not have any statutory right to cancel a booking made for a Professional Service. However, you have a contractual entitlement to cancel any booking you have made with an Independent professional through us in the following circumstances and on the described terms.

Subject to the cancellation being a Late or Very Late Cancellation (as described below), if you change your mind about your booking prior to the agreed appointment start time in that booking (“Appointment Time”) then the Independent professional will be willing to treat your booking as cancelled (without requiring payment of all or any part of the applicable Treatment Fee and without levying any cancellation fee) if you cancel your booking via Our Site or Our App or via the telephone booking service (07876775487):

  • at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the Appointment Time; or

  • if the Appointment Time falls within twenty-four (24) hours of the time of booking, within ten (10) minutes of you having confirmed that you want to make a booking (“Grace Period”).

If your cancellation of a booking is:

  • within twenty-four (24) hours of the Appointment Time; or

  • after the Grace Period has elapsed,

then unless the cancellation represents a Very Late Cancellation (as described below), we will be entitled to retain (or charge, as the case may be) thirty per cent (30%) of the applicable Treatment Fee because your cancellation represents a Late Cancellation.

However, if your cancellation of a booking is within two (2) hours of the Appointment Time and if applicable, the Grace Period has elapsed, the Independent professional will be entitled to retain (or charge, as the case may be) one hundred per cent (100%) of the applicable Treatment Fee because your cancellation represents a Very Late Cancellation.

You will also be charged the full Treatment Fee if you:

  • Cancel a booking other than as permitted above;

  • Attempt to cancel a booking on or after the Appointment Time; or

  • Fail to attend a booking at the Appointment Time and/or at the Designated Premises.

A cancellation fee is charged in order to compensate the Independent professional because it is not reasonable to expect the Independent professional to be able to provide a Professional Service at another booking where you cancel with short or no notice.

Cancellation fees may in our absolute discretion be waived where you have been unable to cancel a booking without incurring the cancellation fee for genuine reasons which were outside of your control. Where cancellation fees are waived by us, 

PRODUCTS

Except in relation to certain Products set out below, you may cancel an order for a Product at any time before your order is delivered and up to 14 days afterwards, beginning on the day after your order (in its entirety) is delivered to you or, if you opt (where available) to collect it from one of the collection points offered by the courier and that collection point is managed by a third party other than the courier (for example, a local convenience store), the day after it is delivered to that third party (“Cooling-off Period”).

If you cancel, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Product(s) in accordance with the refunds policy (see below).

To cancel an order, you must clearly inform us preferably:

  • in writing, by email or telephone, giving your name, address and order reference; or

  • by completing and submitting our cancellation form available on www.de-stresstherapy.co.uk or Our App, a copy of which is also enclosed with the Product(s) on delivery.

You must also return the Product(s) within 14 days after the day you notify your cancellation, in the same condition in which you receive them (which does not interfere with your right to take any reasonable steps to examine the Product(s) and make sure they conform to your order). Products must be returned directly to us. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Product(s) while in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, We may have a right to deduct the cost of any deterioration (due, for example, to your having used the Product(s)), up to the price of the Product(s), from the refund to which you are otherwise entitled.

To return the Product(s), you should package the parcel securely (making sure you include a note of your name and address (enclosing any returns slip, if you have been provided with one) inside the parcel) and then return it to the relevant Retailer, either by courier or by recorded delivery mail or another form of certified mail or, if the Product(s) are too bulky to return by mail, then by a suitable carrier, to the returns address stated either in the Order Confirmation or the delivery note inside the delivered parcel.

You are advised to take out enough postal/carriage insurance to cover the value of the contents. Please save your proof of posting/dispatch and tracking information until your refund has been processed. You will be responsible for the cost and risk of returning the Product(s).

Details of the consumer rights described above, and an explanation of how to exercise them, are provided in the Order Confirmation. Nothing in this section affects your legal rights.

PRODUCT REFUND POLICY

If you cancel an order within the Cooling-off Period, any refund due to you will be processed as soon as possible and, in any case, within 14 days after the day on which We receive the Product(s) back or, if earlier, the day on which we receive the returned Product to the Relevant returns address (see above). You will be refunded the price paid in full (subject to any deduction the relevant we RE  entitled to make due to your use of or damage to the Product(s)), including the cost of standard delivery. However, you will not be refunded your cost of returning the Product(s). If you received any promotional or another discount when you paid, any refund will only reflect the amount you actually paid.

Refunds are made using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase unless agreed otherwise.

FAULTY PRODUCTS

If any Product you order is damaged or faulty when delivered to you or has developed a fault, you may have one or more legal remedies available to you, depending on when you make the relevant Retailer aware of the problem, in accordance with your legal rights. If you believe a Product was delivered damaged or faulty or has developed a fault, you should inform the relevant Retailer as soon as possible, preferably in writing, giving your name, address and order reference.
