Terms of service.

Booking: A booking does not constitute the creation of a contract and the teacher reserves the right to decline to process a booking for any reason whatsoever. If the booking is not able to be fulfilled the teacher will promptly refund all monies. A booking confirms the purchase of a BORN READY BABY. Group or 1-2-1 Hypnobirthing course, which includes up to 8 hours of teaching time. This also includes occasional text and email support during pregnancy. Please note that I will always do my best to respond as promptly as possible, but this does not mean that 24/7 support is available. If you would like any further sessions or 1-2-1 support, please just get in touch to discuss my bolt on packages.                                                                    

Participant Cancellation policy: I understand that circumstances may arise which require you to cancel or reschedule your hypnobirthing class. I strive to be fair and flexible whilst also operating small group sizes with limited space. 

Cancellations made:
1. More than 8 weeks prior to the scheduled class date will be eligible for a partial refund. A £59 cancellation fee of the total class fee will be applied, and the remaining amount will be refunded or credited towards a future class or service
2. Between 4 and 8 weeks of the scheduled course date will be eligible for a refund of 50% of the total course cost. Any outstanding balance must be paid 
3. Between 2 to 4 weeks before the scheduled course date will be charged at 75% of the total course cost. Any outstanding balance must be paid
4. Under 2 weeks of the scheduled course date will not be eligible for a refund and any outstanding balance must be paid

In the event of extenuating circumstances, such as a medical emergency, please contact me directly to discuss your situation. I will make every effort to accommodate your needs and find a suitable solution.

By implementing this sliding scale cancellation policy, I aim to strike a balance that allows me to provide the very best service while considering the unique circumstances of each participant. By purchasing your course ticket, you are agreeing to these terms.  Full course fee must be paid in full, unless otherwise agreed, before course begins. Partial refunds will not be made nor partial payments accepted in the event of the participant not completing the full course. Please note that deposits are non-refundable in all circumstances.        

Course Cancellation: BORN READY BABY. reserves the right to amend or cancel any course, course times, dates or published prices. Changes to course prices, times and dates will be advised before the course start date and any course already paid in full will not be subject to any price increase. In the event that it is unsafe to meet in person, your course will either be rescheduled or held online, depending on the expected due dates of participants.
