Platform summary

The Platform includes a marketplace where Explorers and Practitioners can find each other and connect online, and then meet for the provision of Treatments. We provide the Platform to users (including hosting and maintaining the Platform), including but not limited to providing a platform for Explorers and Practitioners to form contracts between each other for the supply of Treatments.

SoulAdvisor Pty Ltd is not a party to those contracts formed between an Explorer and Practitioner for the supply of any treatments provided by a Practitioner.  

If you are an Explorer, then, by engaging the services of a Practitioner, you agree that the relevant jurisdiction for any claims or disputes that may arise between you and a Practitioner shall be the jurisdiction in or from which the Practitioner has supplied the service (Practitioner's Jurisdiction) unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing between you and the Practitioner.  This includes where you booked the Practitioner, or received the service from the Practitioner, in another jurisdiction, such as where a treatment is delivered online or remotely.  Unless an Explorer and a Practitioner expressly agree otherwise in writing between themselves:

(a) any contract that the Explorer and Practitioner form shall be governed by the laws of the Practitioner's Jurisdiction;

(b) the Explorer irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Practitioner's Jurisdiction and any courts which have jurisdiction to hear appeals from any of those courts in respect of any proceedings in connection with such contract formed between the Explorer and Practitioner; and

(c) the Explorer waives any right they have to object to an action being brought in the courts of the Practitioner's Jurisdiction including by claiming that the action has been brought in an inconvenient forum or that those courts do not have jurisdiction.

You understand and agree that we only make available the Platform. We are not party to any agreement entered into between an Explorer and a Practitioner and we have no control over the conduct of Practitioners, Explorers or any other users of the Platform. 

A Practitioner wanting to provide Treatments creates an Account on the Platform and posts an accurate and complete description of the Treatments they can provide including the price, method of delivery (whether in person or online) and duration (Listing). The Practitioner confirms that he or she is legally entitled to and capable of supplying the Treatments described on their profile page.

When an Explorer wants to book a Listing, they will need to create an Account on the Platform.

An Explorer may book Treatments described in a Listing through the Platform. Once a booking is made by the explorer and it is a confirmed Booking, the Booking Refunds and Cancellation Policy below will apply.

There are two ways a client booking can be received, either as an Instant Booking or a Request Booking. Both options have different ways the appointment will be confirmed, and how payments are processed. Find out more.

Accounts

You may register on the Platform and create an account (Account) to access all of the Platform’s features. Certain features such as Listings may be available to people who have not yet created an Account.

You may have one (1) Account as a Practitioner and/or as an Explorer on the Platform.

You must provide basic information when registering for an Account including your business name and country (for Practitioners), contact name and email address and you must choose a password.

Once you have registered an Account, you will be asked to create and curate a profile. Some assistance will be provided by SoulAdvisor to ensure branding and style.

You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and regularly update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete. 

Your Account is personal and you must not transfer it to others, except with written permission from SoulAdvisor Pty Ltd.

You are responsible for keeping your Account details and your username and password confidential and you will be liable for all activity on your Account, including payments made using your Account details. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorised use of your Account.

Administration Access

By creating an account, you are authorising SoulAdvisor and its representatives to access, complete and edit your practitioner dashboard for the purpose of assisting you to create your practitioner profile, subject to your final approval before your profile goes live on our site. This will help us assist you in preparing a professional finished profile that is consistent with SoulAdvisor's high standards and branding requirements. This includes formatting, visually designing and completing your profile as outlined in our branding guidelines. 

We may source personal imagery, define your service descriptions, write or make edits to your personal biography and other parts of your profile including correcting any drafting errors.  This information and content may be obtained by SoulAdvisor from public sources including your website, social media platforms, interviews and public forums.  You consent to us using and incorporating such content in your practitioner profile and licence us, on a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free basis, to copy content from your website or other content owned by you to include in your practitioner profile including, where necessary, to edit such content to conform to our branding guidelines. We will require you to confirm, and you will be solely responsible for, the accuracy of all information in your profile, whether initially prepared by you or us, before live publication of that information on the site.  

You will be required to submit all necessary qualifications and documentation to meet our vetting criteria before your profile can be completed. Once your profile has met all relevant criteria, you will be able to review, assign your availability and sync calendar. Profiles will only be made live on the site subject to your approval.  By approving your final completed profile you will be confirming that all the information and content in your profile (including any of the content we have included on your behalf) is complete, accurate and up to date. 

Through our quality control process, if a profile is viewed inaccurate (eg. grammatical issues), inappropriate (eg. unauthorised imagery has been placed on the profile after approval) or out of date (eg. a new authorised therapy has not been attached to an offering) than SoulAdvisor may further assist by updating the profile directly. If this requires significant changes these will be communicated.

Further information about how we use your personal information can be found in our privacy policy which can be viewed here.

Communication

We may contact you via the Platform using our support icon or via off-Platform communication channels, such as by email or SMS. We will endeavour to respond to queries within 24 hours of receiving the query. 

When a Booking is confirmed, the Explorer will be provided with the address and instructions to attend the Treatment (for an in-person treatment) or, in the case of an online treatment, the Practitioner will be provided with the Explorer’s email address to arrange the Treatment which will take place externally to the Platform. If online, the Treatment may be delivered via Skype, Google Hangouts, Zoom, or other video conferencing software of the Practitioner’s choosing. 

Explorers and Practitioners can communicate using any listed contact details once a Booking is made. Explorers and Practitioners are at liberty to provide Treatments on or off the Platform. 

Promotional Codes

As part of our marketing activity, you may be provided a promotional code to be used against the cost of a booking. This may be either a % of the overall cost, a dollar amount or the full cost of the booking.

Codes are only valid when used on booking options on SoulAdvisor and exclude any practitioner services that require a "Reservation Request Form". A "Reservation Request Form" will occur if you select "Request to book" and a form with this heading is loaded. This generates a contact request to the practitioner however, a booking has not been initiated, no payment has been requested and therefore the code cannot be applied.

A promotional code can only be applied under "Payment" when processing through the online booking form. You will be prompted to click "Have a coupon code" to apply the code.  

Payment

It is free for Explorers to register an Account on the Platform and to review content on the Platform, including Listings. 

As an Explorer, an amount is captured by our third party (Stripe) when you make a request to book, and will be sent to the practitioner immediately when it’s confirmed by the practitioner, and/or released to the explorer’s account if the appointment is declined.

In consideration for providing the Platform, we will charge membership fees to the practitioner as set out on the Platform (Membership Fees). 

We provide a payment method on the Platform through our third-party payment processor, currently Stripe. The payment method you choose may be subject to additional terms and conditions imposed by the applicable third party payment processor. By making payment through a third-party payment processor, you accept the applicable terms and conditions.

We don’t hold any payments received from the Explorer. It is sent directly to the practitioner when it is auto-confirmed or confirmed by the practitioner, minus the deduction of any Service Fee.

The Platform will generate receipts which will be sent to the Parties respectively. All practitioner booking fees set out on the Platform are inclusive of GST or other value-added tax depending on the location of the Practitioner.

Costs associated with the SoulAdvisor Membership Program that relate to Australian residents will incur an additional GST charge. For non-Australian residents, this will not apply, however country specific taxes may and will be applied at the time of processing your Membership.

In the absence of fraud or mistake, all payments made are final. If you make a payment by debit card or credit card, you warrant that the information you provide to us is true and complete, that you are authorised to use the debit card or credit card to make the payment, that your payment will be honoured by your card issuer, and that you will maintain sufficient funds in your account to cover the payment.

Booking Refunds and Cancellation Policy

  1. An Explorer must cancel a Booking at least 24 hours before the Treatment start time in order to get a full refund, minus a small processing fee of 1.75% + $0.30 for domestic cards and 2.9% + $0.30 for international card.
  2. If an Explorer cancels a Booking less than 24 hours before the Treatment start time, no refund will be issued.
  3. If the cancellation was requested by the Practitioner, a full refund will be issued to the Explorer

Any concerns about our cancellation and refund policy and where either of the parties cannot resolve the matter directly, we encourage you to contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will attempt to assist in the resolution.

Rescheduling an appointment

A confirmed appointment can be rescheduled with no fees and charges applied to the booking however, a rescheduled request must be actioned within 48 hours before the appointment by a client, and within 24 hours if actioned by a practitioner.

Depending on the booking settings selected ie. 'Instant Booking' or 'Request To Book' by the practitioner, the same confirmation process will be applied on the reschedule request.

For example, a reschedule request received from a client on an 'Instant Booking' appointment will be automatically confirmed, and a reschedule request received from a client on a 'Request To Book' appointment will be required to be confirmed or declined by the practitioner within the 24 hour period.

If a reschedule request is not actioned within this 24 hour period, the request will be automatically declined and the booking will retain its original date and time.

Whereas a reschedule requested from the practitioner will be automatically confirmed by the system and changes applied to the booking.

If it is less than 48 hours, then the appointment will need to either be kept as originally confirmed or be cancelled, and cancellation policy will apply. 

There is a maximum of two times a client or practitioner can reschedule an appointment. To find out more, please read.
