10. Price and payment

  1. Where to find the price for the product. The price of the services and digital content (which includes our charges and those of the Mental Health Practitioner and any VAT at the current rate) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. Our prices for therapy sessions can be found here https://myonlinetherapy.com/how-it-works/. We take reasonable care to ensure that the price of the services and digital content advised to you is correct. However please see clause 10)c) for what happens if we discover an error in the price of your order.
  2. We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. Where VAT is chargeable, if the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
  3. What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the services or digital content we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will contact you if this happens. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as mis-pricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid.
  4. When you must pay and how you must pay. Generally, you must pay in full before we supply any services or digital content. For non-subscription services, we accept payment using Stripe which allows you to pay using most popular credit or debit cards. For subscription services you can pay using Apple Pay or Google Pay (managed by Stripe). You can read more about this payment method and our prices here: https://myonlinetherapy.com/self-care/.
  5. When your insurance provider has agreed to pay. In some cases your insurance provider will have agreed to pay for services. In the event your insurance provider does not pay in full by the agreed date (or within 120 days if no date was agreed) for any services you receive you will be personally liable to pay for those services to the extent your insurance provider has not paid for them. Some insurance providers require you to pay a percentage of the price of any therapy session and/or have an annual excess that you must pay (and such payment is referred to as an Excess); we can require you to pay any Excess at any time. If you are unsure, you should check with your insurance provider.

  2. Contacting a Mental Health Practitioner. You can contact any Mental Health Practitioner you have worked with by contacting us using the contact details on our website or in these terms and conditions of supply.
  3. We provide subscription based self-care and other digital content. The material accessible through the self-care subscription (and any free trial) is written by Mental Health Practitioners and developed and provided by us.

12. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you

  1. We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
  2. We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products; or where it would otherwise be unlawful to do so.
  3. Digital Content. Any digital content we supply does not constitute individual advice and furthermore we cannot guarantee that the skills and suggestions in it will work for you personally. If defective digital content which we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage which you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage which was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.
  4. We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the services and digital content for domestic and private use. If you use the services and digital content for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

13. How we may use your personal information

  1. How we may use your personal information. We will only use your personal information as set out in our privacy notice (https://myonlinetherapy.com/privacy-policy/).

14. Other important terms

  1. We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.
  2. You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.
  3. Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
  4. If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
  5. Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
  6. Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. Clause 14) of Part I of these terms applies equally to Part II of these terms.
  7. My Online Therapy is a UK based online therapy platform but we offer sessions to our clients based on your local timezone wherever you may be in the world. The platform will note your timezone at the point of login with the Mental Health Practitioner’s schedule updated to reflect where you are, so you can select a session time that works best for you. This will also be reflected in any booking confirmation and reminder emails. Please note that My Online Therapy will not know if your local timezone has changed since you made the booking unless you actively log back into the app and so reminder emails may still show the booking as based on your original timezone. The app does not automatically update your timezone based on your device settings. We encourage clients to make a note of any changes to their location from the time of booking to ensure they don’t miss their sessions. My Online Therapy does not take responsibility for any missed sessions and the usual cancellation policy will apply.

B. Third-Party Funded Users

1. Other terms that apply.

  1. If you are using our services where your private medical insurance, employer, or another company is paying for our services (“Third Party Funded User”) our patient terms will apply (https://www.ascenti.co.uk/terms-conditions/) in addition to clauses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (c) – (e), 7 (a) and (b), 8 (a), 9, 11 and 13 of Part II of these Terms of Use.

2. How we may contact you.

  1. If we have to contact you we will do so by telephone or by writing to you at the email address or postal address you provided to us or that was provided to us by the relevant third party in the event that you are a Third Party Funded User.

3. Why you should read them
