  2. is unhygienic or unsuitable for medical procedures; or
  3. contains unsecured animals that may interfere with the treatment or equipment; and/or

All fees for the Services are payable in full at the time of treatment or directly thereafter.

Payments may be made by:

  1. Instant EFT;

It is your responsibility to provide the correct and complete address for the Location where the Services are to be performed.

  1. treat the booking as a late cancellation; and
  2. charge a call-out and/or cancellation fee.

If any amount remains unpaid, the Service Provider may suspend future bookings until the balance is settled.

You understand and agree that you will be liable for any legal or collection costs incurred in recovering outstanding amounts.

Clause 07

Appointments

The Service Provider will always endeavour to run on time.

Where the Service Provider is running late, the Service Provider will endeavour to contact you and inform you of the delay.

Clause 08

Purpose and Nature of the Service

You warrant that you understand and agree that in healthcare and/or related therapy, results cannot be guaranteed. Results also depend on how one's individual body reacts to a treatment, which reaction is unique to every single patient.

You warrant that you understand and agree that your lifestyle or actions may affect the outcome or results of the treatment received.

You agree to follow the instructions provided to you by the relevant healthcare practitioner and if you fail to do this, you agree to undertake not to hold the Service Provider and/or any of its staff, healthcare practitioners or otherwise, liable for any direct or indirect negative consequence, damages, injury, illness, death, or loss sustained due to your failures or breach of these Terms.

You acknowledge and agree that a healthcare practitioner must always act in their patient's best interest. You agree and accept that the discretion remains with the healthcare practitioner to determine and administer medically appropriate treatment and/or Therapy. The healthcare practitioner reserves the right to alter, substitute, or withhold specific Therapy based on a thorough assessment of your health needs in accordance with best medical practice and prevailing medical standards. Such decisions are made with your best interest and safety as a priority, in line with South African healthcare regulations.

You acknowledge and agree that you will, therefore, remain liable for the payment of the consultation and/or services, regardless of whether the treatment initially and Therapy requested was not what was received.
