You must make payment for any Product or Service prior to any access to the Product or Service. By submitting an order via the website you agree that you are authorised and able to make payment via the method you have chosen.

Therapas will not hold your card details directly; we use the PCI compliant payment gateway provided by Stripe – your card details will be held by Stripe. Therapas retains the right to store and maintain the card details provided by you unless otherwise specified in writing by the client. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your payment information.

If a client wishes to remove their card details from our records, a written request must be submitted to Therapas.

Card Surcharges

By proceeding with a payment to Therapas, you acknowledge and agree that your nominated card may incur a surcharge. We impose a surcharge to cover the transaction costs associated with card payments and will only apply to payments made using a credit or debit card (including Visa, MasterCard, American Express). Direct debit or other forms of accepted non-card payment methods are exempt from this surcharge.

We will prominently display information regarding the card surcharge and amount at our point of sale, on our Website, or through other communication channels as deemed appropriate. The surcharge is calculated based on a percentage of the total transaction amount. We will comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding card surcharge.

We reserve the right to modify the terms and conditions related to card surcharges, including the surcharge amount or calculation method.

Tax Invoices

Therapas may provide a tax invoice to the Client’s registered email upon payment for the Services. The provision of such tax invoice does not in any way mean that Therapas is providing legal advice to you or is holding itself out as a provider of legal advice nor does this establish a therapeutic relationship between yourself and any Instructor on Therapas.

Promotional Codes

Therapas may, in its sole discretion, create promotional codes that may be redeemable for account credit or discounted services. Using a promotional code in no way established a client / lawyer relationship nor a client/therapist relationship.

Promotional codes may not be duplicated, sold or transferred in any manner, or made available to anyone but its intended recipient. Therapas at its sole discretion can redeem or refuse promotional codes at anytime, for any reason.
