Jurisdiction
These terms shall be governed by and interpreted according to the law of Northern Ireland and all disputes arising under these terms (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Northern Irish courts.
1. Introduction
These Terms and Conditions apply to all consultations, treatments, and treatment courses booked with The Private Clinic Swansea ("the Clinic", "we", "us"). By booking an appointment, paying a deposit, or purchasing a course of treatment, you ("the client", "you") confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. They are provided to you at the time of booking and are available on request at any time.
2. Consultation Fees
• A consultation fee is payable at the time of booking, or at the consultation itself, as advised by the Clinic.
• Consultation fees are non-refundable, including where the client decides not to proceed with treatment following the consultation.
• Where a consultation fee is subsequently offset against the cost of treatment, this will be confirmed to the client in writing or verbally at the time of booking.
3. Deposits
• A non-refundable deposit is required to secure certain appointments and treatment bookings.
• The deposit will be deducted from the total cost of the treatment on the day of the appointment.
• Deposits are non-refundable under any circumstances, including cancellation by the client, save where required by consumer protection legislation (see Clause 8).
4. Rescheduling Appointments
• Appointments may be rescheduled free of charge provided the Clinic is given at least 48 hours' notice in advance of the scheduled appointment time.
• Notice may be given by telephone, email, or the Clinic's official messaging channels, and will be confirmed by a member of the team.
• Where 48 hours' notice is given, any deposit paid will be carried forward and applied to the rescheduled appointment.
• Rescheduling is subject to appointment availability. The Clinic will make reasonable efforts to offer a suitable alternative date and time.
5. Missed Appointments and Late Cancellations
• Where less than 48 hours' notice is given, or an appointment is missed entirely ("no-show"), the deposit and/or consultation fee will be forfeited.
• Where the appointment forms part of a pre-paid treatment course, a missed appointment or cancellation with less than 48 hours' notice will result in that session being forfeited from the course. The course fee remains payable in full and no partial refund, credit, or extension will be given for the lost session.
• Repeated missed appointments or late cancellations may result in the Clinic requiring full pre-payment for any future bookings, or declining to offer further appointments, at the Clinic's discretion.
6. Treatment Courses
• Treatment courses must be paid for in full at the time of booking unless an alternative payment plan has been agreed in writing with the Clinic.
• Course payments are non-refundable once made, save where required by consumer protection legislation (see Clause 8) or where the Clinic is unable to provide the treatment (see Clause 7).
• Courses are valid for a defined period from the date of purchase, as advised by the Clinic at the time of booking. Sessions not used within this period, including those forfeited under Clause 5, will not be refunded, extended, or carried forward.
• Course sessions are non-transferable to another individual unless expressly agreed by the Clinic.
7. Clinical Suitability and Clinic-Initiated Cancellation
• All treatments are subject to a satisfactory consultation and clinical assessment. The Clinic reserves the right to decline or discontinue treatment where it is not clinically appropriate or safe to proceed.
• Where the Clinic cancels or is unable to provide a booked appointment or course session (for example due to practitioner illness or equipment failure), the client will be offered the next available appointment at no additional cost, or, where a course cannot reasonably be completed, a refund or credit for the affected sessions at the Clinic's discretion.
8. Consumer Rights
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions affects your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or, where the booking was made online, by telephone, or off-premises, your cancellation rights under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. Where those Regulations grant a right to cancel within the statutory cancellation period, any request to begin treatment within that period must be made by the client's express written request, and reasonable costs already incurred by the Clinic (including consultation time and any deposit forfeited to a practitioner or supplier) may be deducted from any refund due.
9. Payment
• Full payment for individual treatments is due on the day of treatment unless otherwise agreed.
• The Clinic accepts the payment methods displayed at reception; specific arrangements will be confirmed at the time of booking.
• Prices are correct at the time of booking but may be subject to change. Clients will always be advised of the current price before treatment is carried out.
10. Patch Tests and Contraindications
Certain treatments require a patch test prior to the first session. It is the client's responsibility to disclose all relevant medical history, medication, and contraindications at consultation and at each subsequent appointment. The Clinic accepts no liability for adverse reactions arising from information withheld by the client.
11. Complaints
Any concerns regarding treatment or service should be raised with the Clinic as soon as possible so that they may be addressed promptly. Formal complaints will be handled in accordance with the Clinic's Complaints Policy, a copy of which is available on request.
12. Data Protection
Personal and clinical information provided by clients is processed in accordance with the Clinic's Privacy Notice and applicable data protection legislation, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
13. Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
14. Acknowledgement
By paying a deposit, consultation fee, or course fee, or by attending an appointment, the client confirms acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. A signed copy will be retained on the client's clinical record where required.
Gift Voucher Terms & Conditions
Gift vouchers are valid until the expiry date stated on the voucher and must be redeemed on or before this date.
Vouchers may be used towards eligible treatments, services or products at the clinic, subject to availability and suitability following consultation where required.
Gift vouchers cannot be exchanged for cash and no cash change will be given. Where the value of the purchase is less than the voucher value, any remaining balance may be used before the original expiry date.
Appointments booked using a gift voucher remain subject to our standard booking and cancellation policy. Late cancellations or non-attendance may result in the relevant cancellation charge being deducted from the voucher balance.
Gift vouchers are non-refundable once purchased, except where required by law.
The clinic cannot accept responsibility for lost, stolen, damaged or unauthorised use of gift vouchers.
The expiry date will not normally be extended. Any extension is at the clinic’s discretion and must be agreed before the voucher expires.
Treatments are subject to consultation, medical suitability and any applicable age restrictions. Purchasing a gift voucher does not guarantee that the recipient will be suitable for a particular treatment. Where a recipient is unsuitable for the intended treatment, the voucher value may be used towards another suitable service or product, subject to these terms.
Prices may change after a voucher has been purchased. Unless the voucher specifically states that it is for a named treatment, the voucher represents the monetary value shown and any difference in price will be payable at the time of redemption.
By purchasing or using a gift voucher, the purchaser and recipient agree to these terms and conditions.
