ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY

This Acceptable Use Policy sets out the content standards that apply when you upload content to our website, make contact with other users on our website, link to our website, or interact with the website in any other way.

Prohibited Uses  

You may use our website only for lawful purposes. You may not use our website:

  • in any way that breaches any applicable local, national or international law or regulation;

  • in any way that is unlawful or fraudulent, or has any unlawful or fraudulent purpose or effect;

  • for the purpose of harming or attempting to harm minors in any way;

  • to send, knowingly receive, upload, download, use or re-use any material which does not comply with our content standards below;

  • to transmit, or procure the sending of, any unsolicited or unauthorised advertising or promotional material or any other form of similar solicitation (spam);

  • to knowingly transmit any data, send or upload any material that contains viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time-bombs, keystroke loggers, spyware, adware or any other harmful programs or similar computer code designed to adversely affect the operation of any computer software or hardware.
     

You also agree not to access without authority, interfere with, damage or disrupt:

  • any part of our website;

  • any equipment or network on which our website is stored;

  • any software used in the provision of our website; or

  • any equipment or network or software owned or used by any third party.
     

Interactive Services  

We may from time to time provide interactive services on the website, including, without limitation:

  • chat rooms;

  • bulletin boards;

  • blog Posts;
     

(jointly the “interactive services”).

Where we do provide any interactive service, we will provide clear information to you about the kind of service offered, if it is moderated and what form of moderation is used (including whether it is human or technical).

We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users (and in particular, for children) from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on our website, and we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of those risks. However, we are under no obligation to oversee, monitor or moderate any interactive service we provide on our website, and we expressly exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a user in contravention of our content standards, whether the service is moderated or not.

The use of any of our interactive services by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or guardian. We advise parents who permit their children to use an interactive service that it is important that they communicate with their children about their safety online, as moderation is not fool proof. Minors who are using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them.

Where we do moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.

Content Standards  

These Content Standards apply to any and all material which you contribute to our website (“Contribution”), and to any interactive services associated with it.

The Content Standards must be complied with in spirit as well as to the letter. The Standards apply to each part of any Contribution as well as to its whole.

  • contain any advertising or promote any services or web links to other websites.
     

Breach Of This Policy  

When we consider that a breach of this Acceptable Use Policy has occurred, we may take such action as we deem appropriate.

WHICH COUNTRY’S LAWS APPLY TO ANY DISPUTES?  

If you are a consumer, please note that these terms of use, their subject matter and their formation, are governed by English law.

  • Less than 24 hours’ notice – no amount will be refunded

  • 24-48 hours’ notice – 50% of full amount will be refunded

  • More than 48 hours’ notice – 100% will be refunded to the client
     

4. If a Client demonstrates exceptional circumstances as the reason for a cancellation within 48 hours of the booking time, The Sleep Chief may accept a rescheduled appointment.
 

5. The Sleep Chief reserves the right to cancel Consultations at short notice due to personal circumstances. In the event of that happening, the Client will be offered a rescheduled consultation or a full refund if preferred.
 

6. Digital download products such as The Sleep Chief’s “Sleep Programmes” are eligible for a refund within 30 days of purchase.
 

7. In respect of each Sleep Programme created by The Sleep Chief for the Client, the Client agrees that it shall not provide the Sleep Programme to any third party who is not a Client.
 

8. Advice given by The Sleep Chief is intended as advice related to sleep and is not intended as a substitute for medical advice from a GP or other medical expert.
 

9. The Sleep Chief advises to the best of their ability, experience and training but does not accept responsibility or liability for sleep and behavioural work that does not achieve the desired result following the Consultation process.

12. If, in the weeks and months after the Consultation’s follow-up support finishes, the Client experiences a relapse in sleep, the Client will not be eligible for a refund. Sleep regressions are a normal occurrence in babies’ sleep and there can be a number of different causes for this, unrelated to advice given by The Sleep Chief. 
 

13. The Sleep Chief offers additional paid follow-up support options for previous Clients which can be used if the Client wishes to.
