We shall assume no liability to any individual in respect of any loss, damage, expenses, proceedings, claims or costs in connection with the omission of relevant information or misinformation.

 

When booking a session, you agree that: (i) you are responsible for reading the full service description before making a commitment to pay for it: (ii) you enter into a legally binding contract to purchase the professional service when you commit to buy it filling the booking form and you complete the check-out payment process.

 

About the prices we charge for using our services, or for our products listed on the website: We reserve the right to change our prices for products displayed at any time, and to correct pricing errors that may inadvertently occur. Additional information about pricing and sales tax is available on the payments page.

 

About the check-out payment process: You agree to pay before the session commences. We ask you to pay for your session from the moment you book it up to the 24 hours before your appointment request. Booking requests without payment confirmation can be canceled. If this is the case, you are welcome to try again and set up a new online session date.

You acknowledge that our therapy sessions are confidential. Your therapist and you agree to keep confidential all information exchanged, disclosed by email, videoconferencing or telephone. As your therapist will not share any information about you to any other party, you will not disclose to a third party what was discussed in therapy, use any audio/videorecording to show other people or upload it on the Internet. Our policy of confidentiality is just as much for the therapist as it is for you regarding what was shared. You will NOT show or display any audio/video material produced during your sessions to any third party. You will only use those materials for your own personal use. Breaching this condition would not only be a breach of this confidentiality policy but would also make you liable for any prosecution that may arise due to copyright infringement. Any materials used for therapy, including sessions recorded, are property of Paula García Chaves. 

 

There are only three boundaries to confidentiality applicable to any psychotherapy practice: 1) If your therapist considers that you are in imminent and significant personal danger which may compromise your own safety during the course of the therapy 2) If you disclose information about having harmed a third party e.g. physical abuse to your own children 3) If you confessed having committed a crime punishable by law. In any of these cases, the proper authorities e.g. your doctor or any other appropriate person will be notified by your therapist if he or she deems that action becomes necessary.

 

We may, without prior notice, change the services; stop providing the services or any features of the services we offer; or create limits for the services. We may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend access to the services without notice and liability for any reason, or for no reason.
