Payment are due in full at the end of your session, in cash or by Fresha Online Booking system which charges completely after the session is finished.
Fresha Booking requires your card details in advance to confirm the appointment.
The fee for the treatment or service will be deemed due accordingly. No refund is applicable if treatment has been completed.
In case of treatment packages are tailored to be taken within a certain period of time, which may differ by package. You are advised to schedule your whole treatment plan when you pay for a package, to make sure that you can fit in all treatments of a package within its validity. Unless these sessions are booked in advance, there is no guarantee that your practitioner will be available. If you don’t take all treatments within the set time, the applicable discount no longer applies and you are only entitled to non-discounted treatment sessions equivalent to the amount paid. These sessions expire six months after the first treatment of the package.
Refunds or partial refunds for packages are not applicable, unless the package is cancelled by your practitioner, in which case the amount corresponding to the standard price of the sessions taken until that point will be retained.
Cancellation
No Show and Late Cancellation fees may applied. During your online booking through Fresha Booking you’ll be informed in detail.
When a cancelled session is part of a discounted prepaid package, the entitlement to that particular session from the package is lost.
Should you run late for an appointment, your practitioner may not be available beyond the time slot reserved for you, and in some cases it may not be feasible to start the session. If at all possible, please inform your practitioner of any delay. Your session may be cancelled if they have not heard from you within 15 minutes of the agreed appointment time. No refund will be applied.
Disclamer
Health and wellbeing are the responsibility of the individual. Advice and treatments provided by AcuRodos ® are complementary and not an alternative to conventional medical opinion or treatment. Your only ‘diagnosis’ will be from a classical Chinese Medicine point of view and your treatment won’t claim to ‘cure’, but to bring about change which can help your body to heal itself.
There are few contraindications to the treatments offered by AcuRodos®, and they don’t always mean that a treatment cannot take place. During your initial consultation you should inform your practitioner of any medical conditions you have and those you have suffered with in the past, and provide updates at subsequent sessions if any of the discussed aspects change. It is your responsibility to check with your medical practitioner in case you suffer from a condition and/or are in doubt whether to have treatment.
