Terms of service
Your access to and use of this website is subject to legally binding terms and conditions. Carefully read the following terms and conditions before accessing or using this website. Your accessing or use of this website indicates your acceptance of the following terms and conditions and your agreement to be bound by them. The following terms and conditions form a binding agreement (“Agreement”) between you, Christine Preston and all of its properties (“Skin Discovery”). I may change these terms and conditions at any time without advance notice. Changed terms will become effective once posted on this website. Your continued use of this website after any change means you have accepted the changed terms and conditions. All references to money amounts in this Agreement, unless otherwise specified, are in Canadian dollars.
CANCELLATIONS
Any cancellation or reschedule made less than 48 hours will result in a cancellation fee. The amount of the fee will be equal to 50% of the reserved services. No shows will not receive a refund for their service, therefore the fee is equal to the cost of the service.
If you are more than 20 minutes late for your service, we may not be able to accommodate you. We can either shorten your treatment by 20 minutes or reschedule your service for another time that is convenient. If you need to reschedule, 50% of your service fee will be charged to compensate for the reserved time.
Cancellation and late fees will be invoiced to you via email. You are responsible for paying via email transfer or credit card.
In the event of a true, unavoidable emergency, all or part of your cancellation fee may be applied to future services. Christine will do her best to accommodate you.
