> *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=318e7a044a&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.
