Terms & Conditions

Terms & Conditions
Please take the time to read through this information carefully.

Please note that by making a booking an appointment with Deeping Massage you are agreeing to the Terms & Conditions and the Privacy Policy. You also agree to attend the appointment you have booked.

​

APPOINTMENTS


You can make an appointment with Deeping Massage in a number of ways including via the website, telephone, text or email. Appointments are available for a variety of durations from 1 to 1.5 hours.

Upon making a booking, you will receive an email confirmation.

If this is your first appointment with us, you will also receive a New Client Consultation Form via email. Please complete this because I will not be able to treat you until you have, and completion on the day will be part of your appointment time.

​

CANCELLATIONS & LATE ARRIVALS


Cancellation Policy: 24 hours. Please cancel as soon as possible if a foreseeable event is likely to prevent you from attending, for example, illness or adverse weather conditions.

A minimum of 24 hours notice is required to cancel an appointment. Failure to attend an appointment with less than 24 hours notice of cancellation will incur the charge for the full appointment. This is because I may not be able to fill your appointment slot and still need to cover costs. This also applies to all prepaid sessions, packages and gift vouchers.

 

Late Arrivals: It is important that the agreed appointment time and duration is adhered to. I appreciate that sometimes, things happen, and you may arrive a little later or need to leave a bit earlier than planned. This is fine, but I cannot make up the missed time by overrunning or adding time to subsequent appointments.

​

Contraindications: A medical questionnaire MUST be completed prior to your arrival. This will be emailed to you on booking. It is essential that we have information regarding your current state of health, which may affect your ability to attend or treatment choice. I reserve the right to refuse treatments, especially if you are or have undergone cancer treatment or surgery within the last 3-6 months. If this information is not returned to me within the 24 hour notice period and the session is cancelled, you will incur the charge for the full appointment.

​

If you have booked online and have more than 24hours before your appointment, you can cancel or reschedule your appointment by logging in on the website and going to your bookings under your account.

 

CONFIDENTIALITY


All client information and clinical records will be safeguarded by Deeping Massage and will remain confidential. Unless required to do so by law, I will not otherwise share, sell or distribute any of the information you provide without your consent.

Consultations and client treatment details will not be discussed with anyone other than the client, unless the client is under the age of 18 or has a care worker or guardian.

In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, I employ security measures to protect your information from access by unauthorised persons and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage. I have also put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information I collect online. I will retain your information for a reasonable period or as long as the law requires.
