Please read these terms and conditions carefully prior to payment …

CONFIDENTIALITY
With a few exceptions, your identity and the content of our sessions will be completely confidential to the maximum allowed by New Zealand law. The exceptions are where I believe there is a risk of harm to yourself or others.

In the case of minor clients (under 18 years) – the only other exception to confidentiality is the same as above, unless I believe there is a risk of harm to themselves or others – in which case the first point of contact is the minor client’s legal guardian/s.

CANCELLATIONS & REFUND POLICY
While cancellations from either party are rare (so rare, in fact, I’ve had two in 15 years, and one was my fault!) cancellations received prior to 48 hours of a scheduled session will be refunded in full minus any Stripe processing fee (n.b. there are no processing fees in the case of direct payment – usually within NZ).

Cancellations received between 48 and 24 hours prior to a session will be refunded 50%. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice will not receive a refund.

If, however, you miss a scheduled session for any reason, you will be granted one time to reschedule without penalty. If you miss a second scheduling, you will forfeit the session and no refund will be given.

Please note that if Rebecca Stafford cancels or misses your session, every effort will be made to reschedule as soon as possible. If a new suitable time can not be found, you will be refunded the appropriate amount due.
