POLICIES FOR CLIENTS |
| |
A full list of Client Terms & Conditions can be found at http://www.gomassage.com/TermsAndConditions.php
A summary of the main points are listed below.
|
 |
NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL EXAMINATION |
| |
Massage should not be construed as the substitute for medical examination or treatment and clients should see a physician, chiropractor or other qualified medical specialist for any mental or physical ailment they are aware of. Clients should tell their provider all their known medical conditions BEFORE THEIR MASSAGE APPOINTMENT. Clients should also keep the provider updated as to any changes in their medical profile, and understand that there shall be no liability on the provider's part should they forget to do so.
|
 |
THERAPEUTIC PURPOSES ONLY |
| |
The providers listed on this website perform massages for therapeutic purposes only. It is understood that any inappropriate behavior such as excessive drinking, drug use, illicit or sexually suggestive remarks, or advances made by the client will result in immediate termination of the session, and client will be liable for payment for the "full" scheduled appointment. After the dispute is evaluated by Go Massage, and Go Massage determines that the client was at fault, the provider has the right to use Go Massage to process the client's credit card.
|
 |
SELF SERVICE OPTION - BOOKING THROUGH OUR DIRECTORY |
| |
Go Massage is an online directory for people seeking massage therapy by certified professionals at a massage facility or at their home, office, hotel, or special event.
For our self serve clients, Go Massage is not personally affiliated with many of the massage providers listed on this website nor are we personally familiar with each one of their services. We do not support any illegal activities or practices and each provider is responsible for his or her own licensing, certifications and insurances, for whichever areas he or she provides these services, as required by law.
While Go Massage uses its best efforts to screen providers, Go Massage does not fully investigate the individuals who have listed themselves on this site nor does Go Massage evaluate the quality of their services.
While Go Massage monitors the reviews of the various individuals listed on this site, the listing of such individuals does not constitute an endorsement by Go Massage, of their competence, skill, honesty or character.
It is up to the client (and members of his/her household or workgroup) using this website to do a full screening of the massage provider(s) on the phone before the appointment time.
The client uses the services of any provider listed on this website at his/her own risk, and Go Massage will not be liable for any injury or loss suffered by the client due to the negligence or deliberate misconduct, illegal or otherwise (including criminal conduct) of individuals listed on this website.
By using this service, client agrees to only contact the provider about obtaining a therapeutic massage.
By using this service, client understands that his/her credit card may be charged for massage appointments. In the case of mobile providers, the client signs a credit card authorization form for the appointment. The client's email address will be needed for proper billing.
If a client makes an appointment request through the website, he/she understands that there may not be a suitable provider in his/her area. Client also understands that if a message is left for a provider that a provider may not return the call or email.
If client has chosen a VIP Membership, they are not entitled to any refunds. However, they may use the remaining hours as gift certificates.
If client is under the age of 16, an adult must be present somewhere in the same location at all times during the massage.
Client agrees that posting any bad language or offensive remarks in his/her reviews of providers or Go Massage in general will result in the termination of his/her membership.
Any client feedback or reviews of therapists, etc. that are submitted to Go Massage by clients or potential clients via web forms or email may be used in publicity material such as website promotions, brochures, newsletters, or other publications.
Client agrees to post no more than two ratings (one more massage quality and one for massage reliability) per provider on the website.
Using any specials more than once per client is against Go Massage Policies and may result in the termination of a client's membership.
All financial transactions regarding massage appointments booked through the directory are between the client and the provider. However, Go Massage is used as a credit card processing service.
|
 |
CLIENT DISPUTES WITH PROVIDERS |
| |
For appointments booked directly through our directory (not the Go Massage staff), any disputes between client and provider have nothing to do with Go Massage. However, client is free to post a negative review of that provider on the Go Massage website if he or she is unhappy with the service provided. Provider can also post a rebuttle to that review.
Providers on our network also reserve the right to refuse giving a massage to a client after speaking with them on the phone before the appointment (as long as they do not commit to the appointment). Providers can also refuse giving a massage after meeting the client in person before the massage is to begin.
|
 |
SCREENING PROCESS OF PROVIDERS |
| |
There are some things the client can do to assist in the selecting a competent, professional individual for services:
- Use the Go Massage Concierge Service and have Go Massage book the appointment for you.
- Have a phone conversation prior to any session asking them about their work, their training & certification.
- Be specific about the massage flavor (modality) that he/she desires.
- Notify a friend or family member of his/her appointment with any massage provider giving them the provider's name, phone number, address, etc..
While following these suggestions will not guarantee that you will receive the competent and professional service you expect and deserve, these suggestions, combined with common sense may help you in getting the most out of your massage experience.
|
 |
APPOINTMENTS - PAYMENT TYPE |
| |
Self Serve Home/Hotel Table Clients can pay for appointments for cash, check or credit card. If paying by credit card and the provider is a mobile provider, client understands that the card will be processed through Go Massage.
Concierge Home/Hotel Table Clients must pay by credit card.
Concierge Event Clients can pay by credit card or check.
|
 |
APPOINTMENTS - GRATUITY |
| |
Rates for providers using Go Massage do not include gratuity.
|
 |
APPOINTMENTS - REFUNDS |
| |
Go Massage does not offer any refunds if the client was unhappy with the quality of the massage, however you can request a refund from the individual provider. Refunds can often be provided for no shows, cancellations or lateness if certain criteria are met. Please read below.
|
 |
APPOINTMENTS - CANCELLATION |
| |
CLIENTS:
For Home/Hotel
Table Massage Clients We have a 24 hour per provider cancellation policy. That means if the client books 2 providers, he/she needs to give 48 hours notice for cancellation. Failure to give this notice will result in being charged the full amount of the appointment.
If the client books the appointment from 24 hours to 1 hour before the scheduled appointment, there is no cancellation, and he/she will be charged the full amount of the appointment if the provider reports the incident to Go Massage.
For Event Appointments (Spa Parties, Corporate Massage, etc.) Go Massage requires a 48 hour notice per provider for cancellation. Failure to give this notice will result in being charged the full amount of the appointment. For events that are longer than one day, the cancellation must occur at least 24 hours before the initial date of the ongoing event.
MASSAGE PROVIDERS: For our self serve bookings, massage providers using Go Massage have a 12 hour cancellation policy (per massage provider). If you, as a client, do not recieve this notice, you should contact clientservices@gomassage.com for a possible $20.00 credit.
|
 |
APPOINTMENTS - RESCHEDULING |
| |
FOR SELF SERVE - The rescheduling of appointments is between the provider and the client. However, if the client does not give 12 hours notice prior to rescheduling, the provider does have the right (if he, she chooses) to charge the client for the full appointment.
FOR CONCIERGE & EVENT APPTS. - For home/hotel table massages, if you give us 24 hrs per therapist notice, there are no fees. For event massages, we would need 48 hrs per therapist notice. Anything less than that, there are going to be additional fees charged which will depend on the circumstance.
|
 |
APPOINTMENTS - LATENESS |
| |
CLIENTS: Clients have a 15 minute grace period for their massage. If he/she arrives at said location within 15 minutes of the appointment time, there will be no additional charges. Anything beyond 15 minutes will be taken off the time of the massage.
MASSAGE PROVIDERS: There is no lateness grace period for massage facilities. Massage facilities should work this out with the client individually. Mobile massage providers have a 30 minute grace period on their arrival time. If they are late beyond 30 minutes, then client can choose one of the following:
Home/Hotel Appts.
A. Client can refuse the massage entirely and get a full refund.
B. Client
can get client 25% off the massage - getting the full duration of the original appointment.
C. Client can get an extra 30 minutes for free (on top of the full duration of the original appointment.)
Event Appts.
The time for the lateness is usually taken off the final bill, or the therapist can add extra time at the end. This is something to be worked out on an individual basis with the Go Massage staff.
|
 |
APPOINTMENTS - NO SHOWS |
| |
CLIENT NO SHOW: If the massage provider shows up at the location, and the client is not there within 15 minutes of the
specified time, then the massage will not be performed, and either the massage provider (if self serve) or the Go Massage staff (if concierge) has the right to charge the
client in FULL.
MASSAGE PROVIDER NO SHOW: If the massage provider(s) does not show up at all (or beyond 1 hour after the appointment
time), client does not have to accept the massage, and there is no payment required. If you, as a client, experience this, you should contact clientservices@gomassage.com for a possible $20.00 credit.
|
 |
APPOINTMENTS - MASSAGE DURATION / RATE |
| |
Client agrees to pay the posted rate of the provider which was listed on the website at the time the appointment was booked. A 60 minute massage time includes dressing and undressing, but it does not include travel time, setting up the table, or putting away the table. The actual hands on time will be approximately 55 minutes. For mobile appointments, clients should make sure they have a room that is cleared for the table before the provider arrives.
|
 |
APPOINTMENTS - PARKING POLICY |
| |
If there are any parking charges (usually at a hotel or office), then that amount must be re-imbursed to the provider or paid to the Go Massage staff.
|
 |
APPOINTMENTS - TRAVEL POLICY |
| |
MOBILE APPTS. ONLY - If there are no massage providers available within a 25 mile radius of your location, but the client is still interested in booking a massage, an extra $15.00 travel fee to the massage provider may apply. This is something to be discussed with the massage provider or the Go Massage concierge ahead of time.
