>>
>> *BOOKING POLICY*
>>
>>
>> In response to feedback and suggestions from client-members, and in an
>> effort to improve access to the practitioners, the following guidelines
>> have been put into place as of April 1, 2018.
>>
>> Booking limits will now be enforced on a month-by-month basis. This will
>> make it easier for both client-members and staff to keep track of
>> appointment numbers. This change will also see an increase in overall
>> yearly booking limits to 72 per client-member.
>>
>> 1. You may book up to two sessions with any one practitioner per calendar
>> month, except when otherwise stated. (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday massage
>> therapy sessions are considered three different practitioners).
>>
>> 2. You may hold up to a total of six sessions for all practitioners per
>> calendar month, except when otherwise stated. In case of house recess, one
>> appointment will be deducted from your limit for every week of closure. For
>> instance, an August closure could last two weeks, meaning two appointments
>> would be deducted from your allotment. Client-members who refer new
>> client-members, volunteers or practitioners to the house, or who volunteer
>> themselves, are eligible for an increase in their monthly booking limit.
>> Contact info at vancouverfriendsforlife.ca for more information.
>>
>> 3. In case of a breach of booking limits, client-members will, in the
>> first instance, be informed through email and be asked to cancel the number
>> of appointments necessary to ensure equal distribution of appointments.
>> Upon further breaches, Friends for Life may cancel client-member
>> appointments and/or suspend them from booking any further appointments for
>> a period.
>>
>> 4. When a client-member books an appointment, appointment emails are sent
>> to the client-member and to the practitioner. Client-members are expected
>> to confirm their upcoming appointments through a further confirmation by
>> email and text by BookedIn in the days before the appointment. If you do
>> not receive a confirmation email, please contact
>> info at vancouverfriendsforlife.ca.
>>
>> 5. Client-members are expected to show up for every appointment they have
>> booked and must also be at the house at least ten minutes prior to the
>> appointment. Late arrivals and no-shows are noted in BookedIn and a number
>> of late or no-show appointments may result in cancellation of future
>> bookings and/or suspension of booking privileges.
>>
>> 6. Client-members may sign up to be on the cancellation list for a
>> practitioner (Click here
>> <https://friendsforlife.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=21612d99d1f3008d07ea8f1fb&id=1c2278084c&e=7a68f439b0>).
>> Appointments made through the cancellation list do not count towards the
>> monthly appointment limit of 6.
>>
>> 7. Under no circumstances should sessions be transferred to another
>> client-member. If cancellation is unavoidable, client-members must send an
>> email to info at vancouverfriendsforlife.ca immediately. Under most
>> circumstances, a cancellation within a 24-hour period of your session will
>> be considered a ‘no show’. When you cancel, you may offer the name of
>> someone else who may be interested in filling your appointment.
>>
>> 8. When booking appointments, you accept these terms.
>>
>> We thank you for your cooperation, as we work towards a fair and
>> equitable system for everyone.
