4. ONLINE CONSULTATIONS
1. Consultation booking. To book a consultation, pick the type of consultation and your preferred day and time on our Website's booking subpage. You must also provide your contact details and agree to these Terms to finalize your booking request. Remember that we will use the contact details you provide to send all information necessary for completing your booking and carrying out the online consultation. Please ensure the information you give is complete and accurate.
2. Payment. After you submit your booking, we'll email you payment instructions and a suggested time for your consultation. We'll try our best to match your preferred day and time but can't always guarantee it. If the suggested date or time doesn't work for you, please tell us an alternative that suits you better promptly. You must pay for the consultation within 48 hours after we confirm the final date and time for it. If you don't pay within this timeframe, your booking will be cancelled.
3. Booking confirmation. Sending a booking request doesn't automatically confirm your consultation. Your booking is only confirmed (and a contract for a provision of the Services is concluded) when we receive your full payment. You must pay using the method and within the time we specify in the payment details. We do not accept payments made using any other method.
4. Invoices. After your payment reaches our account, we will send you an accounting document to confirm the payment. Please send us the information we need to issue an invoice for our services once you've made the payment.

You will receive all necessary videoconferencing details at least 24 hours before your consultation.
6. Rescheduling and cancellation. If you need to reschedule, please notify us at least 3 days before the scheduled consultation. You can cancel up to 3 days before the scheduled consultation for a full refund. If you cancel later, you won't get a refund.
7. No-show policy. If you are late for your consultation, we will wait for you for 15 minutes after the scheduled time. If you don't show up within these 15 minutes, we will end the consultation. In this case, your consultation will be cancelled and you won't get a refund for any previously paid fees.
8. Confidentiality. All information shared during the consultation will be kept confidential. We can sign an additional non-disclosure agreement prior to the consultation if needed.
9. Services only for business or professional purposes.
