Terms and Conditions
By signing up to a course with Blooming Births Hypnobirthing, you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions:
Payment - Hypnobirthing courses
A non-refundable deposit of £50 is required to confirm your place on your chosen Hypnobirthing course.
Without a deposit payment, your place is not confirmed.
The balance of the course fee must be paid in full at least three weeks before the first session of the course unless we have a separate agreement in place that we are both happy with.
If you pay a deposit for a course and there is less than 3 weeks to go before the start of the course, the final balance payment is due immediately.
All balance payments are paid via bank transfer.
Course fees are non refundable except under exceptional circumstances.
Payment is made for a full course as advertised and not for individual sessions.
Flexible payment terms must be agreed in advance.
For private 121 Hypnobirthing courses, a fuel surcharge will apply if you live more than 20 miles from Newcastle. This will be calculated based on total mileage.
For private Hypnobirthing courses delivered over zoom to those outside of the UK, additional admin fees will be added to your invoice due to conversion rate charges. Charges may vary.
Cancellations
In the event of cancellation by a participant prior to the start of a Hypnobirthing course, the deposit is non-refundable.
In the event of cancellation by a participant after one or more sessions of a Hypnobirthing course have been completed, no refund will be given.
In the unlikely event of cancellation of a course by myself, attempts will be made to reschedule. If this is not possible, or alternative dates cannot be agreed, a full refund of the total fee will be given.
In the unlikely event of cancellation of an individual session by me, attempts will be made to reschedule. If this is not possible, or if alternative dates cannot be agreed, a refund for sessions not yet taken will be given. If it is not possible for all couples within a group to agree an alternative date then provision will be made for individual couples. The refunded fee per session will be calculated as the total fee, after deduction of the £50 deposit, divided by the number of sessions in the course. No refund will be made for sessions already taken.
If for any reason in person course cannot take place for example extreme weather or government guidelines, the event will either be rescheduled or the course will take place over live video link. A refund will not be given in these circumstances.
Rescheduling Sessions
For participants taking a private one to one course, 48 hours notice must be given in changing appointment dates or times. Where this is not done the participants will be liable for the session fee calculated as the total fee, after deduction of the £50 deposit, divided by the number of sessions in the course. Exceptions may be made in exceptional circumstances.
