Changes

You may make changes to your Plan once during any Renewal Term, and such changes will take effect from the start of the next Renewal Term. Please refer to our policies and FAQ for details.

Payments

If you sign up for a Plan with an associated Plan Fee, you must pay the relevant amount monthly in advance. You agree that we may deduct the Plan Fee from the Credit Card, Debit Card, bank account, or other method of payment that applies in the circumstances, each month in accordance with this clause 10 for the duration of your Subscription.

No refunds are payable in whole or in part for unused entitlements under a Plan in any Billing Period, including without limitation due to change of mind, not scheduling Sessions, not attending Sessions as scheduled, or seeking to reschedule a Session on short notice in the last week of any Billing Period that cannot be rescheduled due to limited availability of the Subscriber or the Professional.

Billing

All Subscriptions are automatically billed by us in the last 7 days of each Billing Period, for access to the Website and the Professional Services in the following Billing Period.

Inclusions

Each Plan includes a fixed number of Sessions as advertised. Subscriber is responsible for booking the number of Sessions he or she is entitled to, and if you do not use your entitlements for the relevant period, they will expire at the end of that period. This clause 10.5 is subject to clause 11.1.

Changes to scheduled Sessions

A rescheduled Session must occur in the same Billing Period as the original Session.

Despite clause 10.5 Subscriber or the relevant Professional may initiate a change to a scheduled Session, if the change is agreed by the other User. This clause 11.2 is subject to clause 11.1.

For avoidance of doubt, by accepting a schedule change, you (being either a Subscriber or a Professional) accept that clause 11.1 applies to that change.

If Subscriber seeks to reschedule a Session outside of the Billing Period of the original Session we may at our sole unfettered discretion accept or reject that change, but our acceptance may be subject to booking the Session with a different Professional, or agreeing to arrangements between the Subscriber, Professional and us to facilitate the rescheduled Session.

If a Session continues for more than the Allocated Session Time, no additional fees accrue to the benefit of the Professional.

A disputed Session will not be paid unless the dispute is settled in the Professional's favour.

Transfer of Subscriber information upon request

A Subscriber may request that their information, as being held by a Professional, be transferred to another Professional. This request may be made during a Session, or through any feature of the Website from time to time that facilitates such a request.

A Professional who receives a request in accordance with clause 13.1 must fulfil that request as soon as possible, and in any event within 5 Business Days. However, if such request would be contrary to law, then Professional may refuse to fulfil the request.

If Professional refuses to fulfil a request under clause 13.1, then Professional must notify us immediately by email to info@anytimecounselling.com.au.

A Professional withholding a Subscriber's information in contravention of this clause 13 is grounds for termination of Professional's User Account.

Fees

We may deduct our Fee each month at or after the time we pay Professionals for services delivered to you. And for clarity, where a Reserved Amount, or any part of such amount is deemed by us as not payable to a Professional, it becomes part of our fee unless we determine otherwise at our sole discretion.
