You consent to receive electronic communications and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically, via email and on the Website, satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

We would be pleased to communicate with you by e-mail, and there are various places on this Website that provide you the ability to send an electronic communication to the Company. Any such email or other electronic communication, however, does not create a business relationship or any contractual relationship.  As set forth more fully in our Privacy Policy, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that any communications remain confidential, but we cannot guarantee the security of such communications and cannot guarantee that we would not be required to disclose such communications as a result of a court order.

User Communication 

The Website may contain chat areas, news groups, forums, communities, comment sections or other message or communication facilities designed to enable you to communicate with the public at large or with a group.  

You agree that when using features of the Website that allow for communication by you, that you will not defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the legal rights of others.  

You agree not to publish, post, upload, distribute or disseminate any inappropriate, profane, defamatory, infringing, obscene, indecent or unlawful topic, name, material or information, or upload files unless you own or control the rights thereto or have received all necessary consents. 

You agree not to advertise or offer to sell or buy any goods or services for any business purpose, or harvest or otherwise collect information about others, including e-mail addresses, without their consent or violate any applicable laws or regulations.

The Company has no obligation to monitor the user communications but reserves the right to review materials posted to the Website and to remove any materials in its sole discretion.

Cancellation and Refund Policies

A minimum of 48 hours’ notice by phone or email is required for appointment cancellation or rescheduling. Sessions with less than 48-hours’ notice are subject to be billed at half of the session fee; sessions with less than 24-hours’ notice and no-shows are charged at the full session fee. Appointments are considered “no-shows” when a client is later than 15 minutes from their session start time. Further sessions will not be booked until the fee is paid in full. There is no penalty for changing an in-person session to a virtual session, even at the last minute.

If you are feeling unwell or have been advised of a potential COVID-19 exposure, you must let us know as soon as possible. If this is within the 24-hour cancellation period you will be offered an online session in place of the in-person one. If you have any concerns about attending an online appointment, please let your counsellor know to arrange alternative options. 

No Refund

Our business does not provide refunds of any kind for any reason.  You can cancel your appointment and cease to participate in any of our programs or services, however, this will not warrant a refund of any kind.  

Changes To the Terms Of Use

We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Website thereafter. Your continued use of the Website following the posting of revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.
