What We Do and Do Not Do

The Wellness Concierge provides Clients with the opportunity to enjoy a range of premium beauty therapy treatments in the comfort of their own home, holiday home or hotel by connecting them to a large network of independent Therapists.

Our Platform provides the technology through which we provide the Platform Services to facilitate introductions between Clients seeking Therapist Services and the Therapists who use our Platform. Our services are limited to making the Platform available, effecting introductions, managing Bookings and acting as a limited payment collection agent on behalf of Therapists for the collection of the Therapist Fee.

We do not provide Therapist Services and we do not employ any of the Therapists.

Neither we nor the Therapists are healthcare providers and neither we nor they provide any medical advice or medical treatments.

For quality control purposes, before allowing a Therapist to join our Platform we ask them to provide evidence that they have achieved NVQ level 2 in Beauty Therapy / Massage or higher and have appropriate insurance in place. However, we do not guarantee or warrant, and we make no representation whatsoever regarding, the reliability, quality or suitability of the Therapists.

We do not contract with Clients for the provision of Therapist Services. By booking Therapist Services through the Platform you are entering into a contract with the relevant Therapist for the provision of those services and we accept no responsibility or liability, nor do we make any warranty, representation or guarantee in respect of the Therapist’s performance under that contract.

Booking Process

Through the Platform, Clients may book various Therapist Services at a time of their choosing. To make a Booking you should follow the instructions on the Platform and provide the necessary information. The Wellness Concierge uses reasonable efforts to find a Therapist able to provide that service at the requested time.

Fees

In respect of each Booking, Clients shall be required to pay the Client Charge (the amount indicated on the Platform at the time of booking), once the Booking has been confirmed. We reserve the right to amend the Fees at any time at our discretion. The applicable Fees payable and method of payment shall be notified to you through the Platform at the time of Booking. A change in Fees shall not apply to any confirmed Bookings made prior to the publication of the revised Fees on the Platform.

Appropriateness Of Therapist Services

You are solely responsible for ensuring the Therapist Services you choose to book are appropriate for you. You should make your Therapist aware of any pre-existing medical condition (whether physical or mental) prior to commencement of any session and which is relevant to performance of the Therapist Services you have requested. You will be asked by your Therapist to complete a consultation for each occasion you receive Therapist Services. It is your responsibility to ensure that the information you provide in response to the consultation is complete, accurate and up to date. If you have any doubt at all about whether a particular Therapist Service is appropriate for you, you should raise this with your Therapist and consult with a qualified medical practitioner before you proceed.

Client Conduct

We request that you treat all Therapists with courtesy and respect and that you provide them with a safe, clean and appropriate location to perform the Therapist Services. Therapists shall be entitled to refuse to perform Therapist Services if you have not provided a safe, clean and appropriate location for them or you behave towards them in a manner which is discourteous, disrespectful, abusive or otherwise inappropriate. We reserve the right to withhold access to the Platform Services at our absolute discretion if you behave towards any Therapist in a manner which is discourteous, disrespectful or abusive or which we otherwise deem to be inappropriate.
