- 8 RECEIVING THE RICHER LIFE PROGRAMME
- 8.1 You acknowledge that the Richer Life Programme is a unique and personal experience and that the effects and results therefore differ from Client to Client. Like most other therapies, hypnotherapy cannot promise anyone a 100% guarantee of a cure.
- 8.2 The Client must complete the Richer Life Programme within 6 months of the Contract Date.
- 8.3 The Client must enter into the Therapy Contract. We have the right to cancel the Contract if the Client does not enter into the Therapy Contract (see clause 14.1.4).
- 8.4 Unless agreed otherwise, each session of the Richer Life Programme will last 90 minutes and will take place on a weekly basis with the exception of any holidays which are booked during the Richer Life Programme by the Client or Our therapist. The Client must arrive on time for each session as the 90 minutes begins at the agreed time booked and not at the time the Client arrives. We may give additional time to a Client in which case the session for the next Client may start late.
- 8.5 The Richer Life Programme must be taken by the Client set out in the Enrolment Form. It is not possible to transfer the Richer Life Programme to any other person.
- 8.6 All Clients are accepted and enrolled onto the Richer Life Programme on the understanding that the Client is not currently in therapy or on a similar type of coaching programme with any other therapist, counsellor, psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, coach etc. The reason being that it would be counter-productive to see two therapists/coaches at the same time and goes against the strict code of ethics that We adhere to. Clients should inform Us immediately if their situation changes and it will be at Our sole discretion as to how best to proceed on a case by case basis and subject to these Terms.
- 8.7 We recommend that all Clients consult their GP or other relevant medical practitioner before undergoing any form of treatment, therapy, coaching or otherwise. It is important to identify whether the contributory factors to any problem the Client may have are mainly physiological, psychological or a combination of the two. Once a medical diagnosis has been made, We can work out the best treatment plan for the Client with a view to achieving the most realistic and successful outcome from the Client’s Richer Life Programme.
- 8.8 We are committed to providing high levels of customer service and satisfaction and welcome the opportunity to receive, consider and act upon feedback from You. Any feedback or comments regarding how We could improve Our service should be directed to Claire Rich, Director, either by email to ‘richerlife@clairerich.com’ or by post to Claire Rich Limited, 5 Chuzzlewit Drive, Newlands Spring, Chelmsford, Essex, CM1 4XQ.
- 8.9 We expect to enjoy a good, professional, working relationship with You but in the event that You feel that You have cause for complaint, please contact Claire Rich using the details set out in clause 8.8 above, clarifying the nature of the complaint, namely whether it relates to a bill or otherwise. We will aim to acknowledge receipt of any written complaint within 24 hours of receipt and investigate the matter in a timely manner. We take complaints very seriously and will investigate any complaint made thoroughly. We will provide a prompt substantive response and may invite You in for a meeting so that You may voice Your concerns. If this does not lead to a satisfactory resolution of the problem, then We will discuss the next step with You.
- 8.10 If the Client is unable to make any session for any reason the Client should telephone Us on 01245 444105 or 07734 059610 at least 48 hours before the session is due to take place so that We can re-schedule it. If We do not receive 48 hours’ notice one session of the Richer Life Programme will be lost. By way of example, if the Client’s session is scheduled for 1.00pm on a Tuesday, the Client will need to telephone Us by 1.00pm on the Sunday before at the latest to cancel the session and reschedule. As in this instance, if the Client is calling outside of normal office hours they will need to leave a message on Our answer machine.
- 8.11 All session cancellations should be made by telephone (not via text message or email), as this is the speediest and most efficient method of communication. If the Client gets Our answer machine, they should leave Us a message so that We can get back to the Client as soon as We are free.
- 8.12 In the event that the Client is unable to give Us 48 hours’ notice of cancellation of a session and that session is lost from the Richer Life Programme, You shall be entitled to re-purchase the session (the Buy Back Option). Purchasing the Buy Back Option means that the Client will still be able to have the session they have missed to get the maximum benefit from the Richer Life Programme. There is a standard fee of £150.00 plus VAT (£180.00 in total) for the exercise of the Buy Back Option each time it is used. If You pay by debit or credit card the usual charges will apply (see clause 15.9). The Buy Back Option will need to be paid in full, in advance, before the session can be booked and then taken.
- 8.13 If the Client is a different person to the Employer, the Employer shall be responsible for ensuring that the Client is informed of, and complies with:
- 8.13.1 the requirements set out in clause 8.2, clause 8.3, clause 8.4, clause 8.6, clause 8.10, clause 8.11 and clause 8.12 above and clause 19.3 below; and
- 8.13.2 Our recommendations in clause 8.7 above.
- 8.14 Investment Option 1 and Investment Option 2 are only available to bodies corporate and partnerships of more than four. Such Payment Plan Options do not constitute a regulated credit agreement and the Employer will not have the benefit of the protection and remedies that would be available under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 or under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 if the agreement were regulated under those Acts.
- 9 PROVIDING THE RICHER LIFE PROGRAMME
- 9.1 Our therapists are registered members of various professional, reputable, world-wide organisations. Each organisation requires Us to adhere to a strict code of ethics and conduct.

If We are not provided with this information, or We are provided with incomplete or incorrect information, We shall have the right to end the Contract (see clause 14.1.2).

- 9.4 In some instances We may just write to the Client’s GP or medical practitioner to advise them that We are going to be working with the Client. We will only send the letter with the Client’s written consent.

If you are a consumer We will refund any sums You have paid in advance for any part of the Richer Life Programme not provided to the Client except where We suspended the Richer Life Programme because You requested changes to it in which case You will be liable to pay the Termination Fee. If you are a business You will be liable to pay the Termination Fee if you end the Contract under this clause 9.6.
