Terms & Conditions for Therapy Services - the basics
Having said that, Terms and Conditions (“T&C”) for therapy services are a set of legally binding terms defined by you, as the owner of the therapy services. The T&C set forth the legal boundaries governing the activities of the clients engaging with your therapy services. The T&C are meant to establish the legal relationship between the clients and you as the service provider. T&C should be defined according to the specific needs and nature of each therapy service. T&C provide you as the service provider the ability to protect yourself from potential legal exposure, so make sure to receive local legal advice to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
What to include in the T&C document for Therapy Services
Generally speaking, T&C for therapy services often address these types of issues: who is eligible for the services; the payment methods and billing procedures; a declaration that the service provider may modify the offerings in the future; the types of assurances the service provider gives to the clients; a reference to issues of confidentiality and data protection, where relevant; the service provider’s right to terminate services; and much more.
