Absolute Health Terms & Conditions
Please note that to receive treatments by any of the therapists at Absolute Health Leicester, you must agree to all of these conditions. If you have any queries please ask to speak to the clinic director.
Definitions
• “we”, “us”, “Absolute Health” refers to the clinic run by BB Osteopaths Limited.
• “you”, “client”, “patient” refers to a customer of Absolute Health.
General
• By becoming or being a customer at the Absolute Health Clinic, your agreement with these terms and conditions is implied.
• These terms and conditions may be updated at our discretion without prior notice.
• It is the customer’s responsibility to read and understand these terms and conditions, which are available on request.
Making bookings
• You may book appointments with us in person, by telephone or by email.
• Advanced bookings may be refused to clients who miss two or more appointments without prior notification.
• The contents of the clinic diary are confidential. You should not attempt to view the diary when making a booking in person.
Arrival times
• We recommend that you arrive before your appointment time, allowing sufficient travel time during the traffic rush hours.
• If you arrive more than 10 minutes late for your appointment, we may reschedule your treatment for another time.
• If you arrive late and receive a shorter treatment than normal, you agree to pay the full cost of that treatment.
Appointment confirmation and cancellations
• If you provide a landline telephone number (rather than a mobile telephone number), we will attempt to call you the day before your treatment to confirm the time and date of your booking.
• If you provide us with a mobile telephone number, we will send you a SMS text message to confirm the time and date of your booking.
• If you give us less than 24 hours notice when cancelling a booking, you agree to pay up to the full cost of your treatment.
• We sometimes need to contact you to change the time and/or date of your booking. Whenever possible, we will give you as much notice as we can when doing this. In the instance of unforeseen staff illness, we may be forced to reschedule your appointment at short notice.
Payment
• We may ask you for full payment or a deposit, in advance, in order to secure any booking. This payment is non-refundable in the absence of mitigating circumstances but may be put towards the cost of future treatment or any cancellation charges applied.
• Mitigating circumstances include genuine, unforeseen ill health or personal crisis.
• In the majority of cases, payment is completed on the day of treatment. If you do not pay in full on the day of your treatment, we will not accept further bookings until any outstanding amounts have been paid in full.
• Using a credit card for payment incurs a £1.00 surcharge.
• We accept payment by cash, card (excluding American Express and some other cards) or cheque.
• If your treatment relates to an insurance claim and we accept you as a patient, having agreed fees in advance with your insurer, we will invoice your insurer after you have been discharged (you will not need to pay up front).
• If you have cover with a private (cash-back) health scheme - e.g. SimplyHealth (HSA) - you will need to pay for each treatment and claim back the cost yourself (a receipt will be provided for this purpose). Note: it is likely that only Podiatry and Osteopathy treatments would be paid for by your scheme.
Payment by telephone
• We can accept payment by telephone using a debit or credit card. To do this, we need your full name and the address where the card is registered plus card security details.
• All security data will be handled in the strictest confidence.
• If requested, we will post a receipt to an address of your choice.
Complaints
• If you have a complaint about the service you have received from us, you are welcome to consult one of our colleagues for a second opinion.
• If you are unable to accept the second professional opinion from us, you may put your complaint in writing to the directors of BB Osteopaths Limited for further consideration.
• If your complaint relates to Osteopathic treatment you have received at Absolute Health - please click here for more information.
Conduct
• We will refuse treatment to customers who behave in an ill-mannered, aggressive or hostile way towards any member of staff.
• Customers who bring children with them are responsible for keeping the children quiet and under control during their visit and if any child causes disruption we may cancel your appointment and ask you to leave.
Refunds
• At our discretion, we can offer a full refund on retail products if they are unused, in their original packaging, in a fully saleable condition and are accompanied by a relevant receipt, presented within 28 days of purchase.
• We do not offer a refund for treatments received unless we acknowledge that the service received was below the professional standard we strive to achieve.
Data handling / privacy
• Any information you give us during your treatment is protected under the Data Protection Act.
• Your records may be kept on paper or electronically.
• We will not pass any of your details on to anyone outside of Absolute Health without your express permission. An example of someone we might contact on your behalf is your doctor if we feel you need medical investigation of some kind.
• We may use your address details to post you information about new treatments, newsletters or special offers unless you decline this service.
• We will only use your telephone numbers for contacting you about your appointment time. We will never use your telephone numbers for marketing purposes.
Clinic noise whilst quiet treatments are in progress
• We often provide quiet, relaxing treatments to customers; for example, massage, Bowen therapy, reflexology. We will let you know when this is happening. We ask that you switch your mobile telephone to silent and do not speak loudly or shout during these times.
Receipts
• We will provide you with a written receipt for insurance purposes (or health cash-back schemes) upon request.
• Use of a credit or debit card automatically generates a receipt for your banking records.
Gift vouchers
• Gift vouchers are valid for six months from the date they are issued. The date of expiry is written on each gift voucher. At our discretion we may allow a gift voucher to be used after the expiry date and an administrative charge of £5 will be deducted from the value of any replacement voucher.
• We will not accept gift vouchers that have been defaced or tampered with in any way.
• If you receive a gift voucher which has a treatment description on it, you may use the full value paid for the gift voucher towards any other treatment (including purchase of retail items).
• The cost of treatment may have changed since the gift voucher was issued: the value of each gift voucher reflects the amount paid for it, not the cost of treatment at the time the gift voucher is used.
These terms and conditions may be altered from time to time without prior notice. Changes will be reflected on this webpage.
