Terms & Conditions

By accessing the pages on this site, you are bound by the following Terms and Conditions and disclaimers without limitation. These Terms may be occasionally updated, so please refer back to them in the future.  By using this website you agree to be bound by the then current version of these Terms.
1. Once course dates are agreed East London HypnoBirthing will send out a booking form and will require a deposit of £50 to be returned via bank transfer or cheque.
2. On receipt of the £50 deposit a confirmation email will be sent to the client by East London HypnoBirthing.
3. The balance of the course fee (the full fee as advertised minus any deposit paid) must be paid in full at the first session of the course.
4. Payment is charged for a full course, not for individual sessions. East London HypnoBirthing is unable to give refunds for any sessions missed or cancelled by the client and cannot guarantee alternative dates.
5. In the event that an individual session is arranged to replace a course session missed by a client, East London HypnoBirthing will calculate the cost of the session based on the standard private course fee divided by the number of sessions in the course.
6. Course dates and times may be changed in exceptional circumstances. If the new time and date is not convenient to you East London HypnoBirthing will try to offer an alternative course but if one is not available you will be given a refund for the session or sessions changed.
No refund will be given for sessions already taken.

Course Cancellation Policy
7. In the case of cancellation by a client, the £50 deposit is non-refundable. Further to that, the following cancellation charges will be applicable:
Days before course start date Cancellation Charge
30 or more no further cancellation charge
20-29 days 25% of course fee
15-19 days 50% of course fee
14 days or less 100% of course fee
8. In the event of the unexpected birth of your baby before the course has been completed, no refund can be given.
9. East London HypnoBirthing reserves the right to cancel courses or sessions at short-notice, or to change course or session dates or times in the event of situations such as practitioner illness or if the practitioner is working in the capacity of a birth doula to a client.
10. Any course cancelled by East London HypnoBirthing will be rescheduled if possible. If this is not possible or if alternative dates cannot be agreed, all monies paid by the client will be refunded and no further payments will be owed to East London HypnoBirthing.
11. Any session cancelled by East London HypnoBirthing will be rescheduled if possible. If this is not possible or if alternative dates cannot be agreed, all monies paid by the client for sessions not yet taken will be refunded and no further payments will be owed to East London HypnoBirthing. The price refunded per session not yet taken will be calculated as the full course fee divided by the number of sessions comprising the full course. No refund will be made for sessions already taken.
12. All group courses require a minimum number of participants to run. If for any reason these numbers are not reached you will be notified. We will endeavour to offer you an alternative arrangement, but if no acceptable alternative can be found or agreed upon you will be entitled to a full refund.
