if a price hasn’t been agreed upfront, what you’re asked to pay must be reasonable; 

if a time hasn’t been agreed upfront, it must be carried out within a reasonable time.

You must keep to these appointments and telephone calls, and can only alter or cancel the appointments or telephone calls in accordance with the other provisions of these terms and conditions. 

6 Limitations on our services 

6.1 Each and every child is different, and so while our Sleep Coaches will provide tailored advice with the aims of improving the sleeping patterns for your child, your child might not respond to the advice as intended. By purchasing our services, you acknowledge that we do not in any way guarantee that your child will sleep better as a result of the advice we provide as part of our services. 

6.2 From time to time, we may provide general advice to the public on our website, our social media platforms, or by other means. This is general advice, and may not be appropriate in your child’s and your circumstances, and we exclude any liability to the full extent the law permits if you implement any general advice we put in the public domain instead of specific advice provided by one of our Sleep Coaches as part of the services. Please see clause 18 for more information. 

6.3 Our Sleep Coaches will often not be present, either in person or online, when you are implementing the advice we provide as part of our service with your child. You acknowledge that all advice provided as part of our services is provided on the understanding that you, and anyone else who assists you with implementing the advice, will exercise reasonable care, skill and judgment. We exclude any liability to the full extent the law permits if you, or anyone else who assists you with implementing the advice, fail to exercise reasonable care, skill and judgment when implementing the advice. Please see clause 18 for more information. 

6.4 Our services are not medical advice, and so you should not ignore any medical advice you have been provided in relation to your child if it contradicts any advice we have provided. You should also not delay seeking medical advice for your child if you think it is necessary. 

6.5 You are responsible for ensuring that your child is safe while sleeping, and we recommend that you follow the advice of The Lullaby Trust, a charity registered in England and Wales, which aims to promote safe sleeping practices for children. The Lullaby Trust’s website is https://www.lullabytrust.org.uk/.  

7 Promotion of our service 

7.1 We may wish to use images and content produced as a result of our providing our services to you in promotional material for our website, our social media platforms, or in other promotional material. Where we do so, it will only be with your consent, and we will only disclose the first name of your child and you in any such promotional material. All use of your images and personal data will be done in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Please see clause 3 for more details. 

7.2 If you consent to our using your child and you in our promotional material, please tick the relevant tick box on our order page. Once you have given your consent, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us (see our contact details above), and we will withdraw any promotional material which includes your child and you within a reasonable period of time after we receive your request to withdraw consent. 

8 Wellbeing of our Sleep Coaches 

8.1 We ask that you are polite and courteous to our Sleep Coaches at all times while performing our services. 

8.2 If any of our Sleep Coaches feel threatened, intimidated or uncomfortable at any point, we reserve the right to:

10 Right to cancel 

10.1 You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

10.2 The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day of the conclusion of the contract. 

10.3 To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (eg a letter sent by post or email) using the contact details at the top of this page.

When you place an order for services, you will be given the option to tick a box to request for us to start providing the services during the cancellation period. By ticking the box, you acknowledge that you will lose your right to cancel this contract once the services are fully performed (ie the work is completed). If you do not tick the box, we will not be able to start providing the services to you until the cancellation period has expired. We are not obliged to accept your request. 

10.6 This means that if you requested for us to start providing the services during the cancellation period and the services are fully performed (ie the work is completed) during this period, you lose your right to cancel and will be required to pay the full price under this contract even if the cancellation period has not expired. 

10.7 This does not affect the rights you have if your services are faulty. A summary of these rights is provided at the top of this page. See also clause 16 below.

11.1.2 the full price under this contract, if you lost your right to cancel this contract because the services were fully performed (ie the work was completed) during the cancellation period. 

11.2 We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract.

This is to cover any fees or costs we have incurred. The cost of the appointment will a proportional sum of the full price of this contract in the same proportion that the appointment is to the services under this contract as a whole. 

13 Carrying out of the services
