3.2 If I cannot accept your booking. If I am unable to accept your booking, I will inform you of this and will not charge you for the relevant Session(s). This might be because of unexpected limits on my resources which I could not reasonably plan for, an error in my diary or booking system, ill health, or because I have identified an error in the price or description of the Session(s).
4. Your rights to make changes
If you wish to make a change to the Session(s), please contact me. I will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible I will let you know about any changes to the price of the Session(s), the timing of such Session(s) or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. Please also see clause 7 (Cancelling a Session) and clause 8 (Your rights to end the contract if you book a series of Sessions).

(b) due to unexpected limits on my resources; or
(c) where I have identified an error in the price or description of the Session(s).
6. Delivering the Sessions
6.1 When I will deliver the Session(s). I will deliver the Session(s) to you on the dates and times set out in the booking confirmation or as otherwise notified to you by myself in writing.
6.2 I am not responsible for delays / cancellations outside my control. If my delivery of the Session(s) is affected by an event outside my control then I will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and use reasonable endeavours to make alternative arrangements. Provided I do this I will not be liable for delays caused by the event but you may contact me to cancel the relevant Session and receive a refund for any Session(s) you have paid for but not received as a result of the delay.
6.3 I may cancel the Session(s) if you do not pay. If you do not pay for the Session(s) when you are supposed to and you still do not make payment within 3 days of me reminding you that payment is due, I may cancel the relevant Session(s) until you have paid the outstanding amounts. I will contact you to tell you I am cancelling the Session(s).
7. Cancelling a Session
7.1 How to cancel a Session. You may contact me to cancel a Session up to 48 hours before such Session is due to be delivered and I will issue you with a refund for the relevant Session, which shall be the price you have paid for the Session less a small cancellation fee.
7.2 If you fail to give me sufficient notice (as referred to in clause 7.1), you will not be eligible for a refund. This includes if you arrive at a Session later than the scheduled start time.

13. Price and payment
13.1 Where to find the price for the Session(s). The price of the Session(s) will be the price set out in the Specification and/or as notified to you at the time of your booking. I take all reasonable care to ensure that the price(s) of the Session(s) advised to you are correct. However please see clause 13.2 for what happens if I discover an error in the price of the Session(s).
13.2 What happens if I got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite my best efforts, the Session(s) may be incorrectly priced. I will normally check prices before accepting your booking so that, where the correct price for the Session(s) at the date of your booking is less than my stated price at the date of your booking, I will charge the lower amount. If the correct price for the Session(s) at the date of your booking is higher than the price stated, I will contact you for your instructions before we accept your booking.
13.3 When you must pay and how you must pay. You must pay for the Session(s) in advance at the time of your booking. I accept payment with:
 debit card;
 credit card; or
 cash (for in person sessions, in advance of the Session for which you are paying for).
14. Liability
14.1 I cannot foresee or guarantee the outcomes of the Session(s), which are dependent on a variety of factors outside of my control, and, subject to clause 14.3, I accept no liability in relation to the same.
14.2 Limitation of liability. Subject to clause 14.3, my total aggregate liability in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise, arising in connection with the performance or contemplated performance of the Contract with you shall be limited to the total charges paid by you for the Sessions during the 12 months immediately preceding the date on which the claim arose.
14.3 I do not exclude or limit in any way my liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by my negligence; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Session(s), including the right to be provided with Sessions, which are as described and supplied with reasonable skill and care.
15. Confidentiality and how I may use your personal information
15.1 How I will use your personal information. I will only use your personal information in line with data protection legislation in force from time to time and as set out in my Privacy Policy. You can find my Privacy Policy at www.therelaxedmamaclub.com.
15.2 In order to provide the Sessions to you, and to effectively exercise my duty or care to you whilst I am providing such Sessions, I will need to process and hold personal data about you, including (but not limited to) the following: personal details (including contact details), emergency contact details, attendance history, correspondence history and anonymised Session notes. Please refer to my Privacy Policy for more details.
15.3 All matters that you discuss with me during a Session are confidential. I may share your personal information, or details of your Sessions, with a third party where I have concerns about your health or safety or the health or safety of someone else, or where I am required to do so in compliance with law, regulation or a court order. I will endeavour to speak to you about this first.
15.4 I discuss clinical work with a supervisor, which may include details of your Session(s). This is done with your interests in mind and to ensure the Sessions are being delivered with reasonable skill and care. These conversations are confidential and you will only be referred to by your first name.
15.5 I shall record and store notes from your Session(s). Such notes are stored securely. These notes are for my use only and assist with keeping a track of all matters that are being discussed during the Session(s). These notes are kept securely for 7 years after your final Session, after which they will be securely destroyed.
15.6 Under data protection legislation, you have the right to request access to notes from your Session(s). Should you wish to access a copy of your Session notes whilst you are still in therapy please discuss this with me. Should you wish to access a copy of your Session notes at any time after your final Session, please email louiselynchtherapy@outlook.com or call 07943841660 to make this request.
15.7 You also have the right to request that I securely destroy the personal data I hold about you, including your Session notes. This can be arranged by contacting me on the details provided in clause 15.6 above. Depending on the circumstances, I may not be able to comply with such request, including (but not limited to) where:
(a) it is necessary for me to retain these records in order to continue providing services to you;
(b) I am compelled to retain these records by law, regulation or a court order; or
(c) I require these records in order to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
16. Other important terms
16.1 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the clauses of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
16.2 Even if I delay in enforcing this contract, I can still enforce it later. If I do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if I delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things or prevent me taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and I do not chase you but I continue to deliver the Sessions, I can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
16.3 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Session(s) in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Session(s) in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland, you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Session(s) in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
