By booking a Reading, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.

3. Services

Stoic Astrologer provides astrological Readings for educational, reflective, philosophical and spiritual purposes.

The services currently offered are:

1) Natal Reading: a one-to-one consultation examining your birth chart in depth, including a comprehensive written analysis and a live debrief session.

2) Annual Profections Readings: Consultations examining the Hellenistic astrological technique known as annual profection and its application to the period or periods of life under consideration.

3) Zodiacal Releasing Reading: a consultation examining the Hellenistic astrological technique called Zodiacal Releasing and its application to relevant periods and themes in your life.

4) Natal + Zodiacal Releasing Reading: a combined consultation bringing together natal chart analysis and Zodiacal Releasing.

Readings are available online and, where agreed, in person at partner venues in Devon. Details of the format, scope, and any specific arrangements for each Reading will be provided before booking.

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, the word "Reading" refers to any of the four services listed above.

Geographical Availability: Readings are currently available only to clients located in the United Kingdom. Online Readings must be attended by clients who are physically present in the UK at the time of the consultation. Stoic Astrologer reserves the right to decline or cancel bookings where this requirement is not met.

4. Booking and Payment

Full payment is required at the time of booking unless otherwise agreed. A booking is considered confirmed only once payment has been received.

Payment may be made by bank transfer (BACS) by contacting me at david@stoicastrologer.co.uk. Stripe is also available as a payment method upon request.

All prices are displayed in pounds sterling (£). Stoic Astrologer reserves the right to amend fees at any time. Fee changes will not affect a Reading already confirmed.

5. Preparation, Cancellations, and Rescheduling

Readings may involve substantial preparation undertaken in advance, including chart calculation, analysis and interpretive research specific to you. The amount and nature of preparation will depend on the type of Reading booked. Where a Reading includes a written analysis and live debrief, a mutually convenient time will be arranged for the debrief in accordance with the arrangements agreed at booking.

If you enter into a distance or off-premises contract as a consumer, you normally have a statutory 14-day right to cancel without giving a reason. This does not affect your other statutory rights.

Preparation may begin before the end of the 14-day cancellation period where you expressly request this. If you cancel during that period after requesting early commencement, I may charge a reasonable proportion of the agreed fee reflecting the work completed up to the point at which you notify me of cancellation, in accordance with applicable consumer law.

After the statutory cancellation period has expired, if you cancel after preparation has begun, I may retain an amount that is reasonable and proportionate to the work already completed and any other applicable contractual entitlement, subject to your statutory rights.

If you are unable to attend a scheduled debrief, every reasonable effort will be made to arrange an alternative date and time mutually convenient to both parties. If rescheduling is not possible, I will discuss an appropriate alternative with you. This may include providing completed written analysis and associated materials as a bespoke package, where reasonably practicable, or agreeing another suitable arrangement. Any alternative will be agreed with you in advance.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any statutory rights you have as a consumer.

6. Client Responsibilities

Clients are responsible for providing accurate information relevant to the Reading they have booked. Where birth information is required, this includes:

• date of birth;

• time of birth, where known; and

• place of birth.

The quality and specificity of astrological interpretation may depend upon the accuracy of this information.

Clients remain solely responsible for their own decisions, actions and interpretations arising from any Reading.

Age Restriction

Stoic Astrologer's services are intended for individuals aged 18 and over. By booking a Reading or other service provided by Stoic Astrologer, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old. Stoic Astrologer does not knowingly provide services to, or collect personal information from, anyone under the age of 18. If it comes to my attention that a booking has been made by, or personal information provided by, someone under 18, the booking will be cancelled and any personal information deleted, with a refund provided in full.

7. Online Services

For online Readings, clients are responsible for ensuring that they have:

• a reliable internet connection;

• suitable equipment for accessing the session; and

• a private and appropriate environment where necessary.

If an online session is interrupted by technical difficulties outside either party's reasonable control, reasonable efforts will be made to restore the connection or arrange an alternative.

Stoic Astrologer cannot be held responsible for interruptions caused by factors outside its reasonable control.

8. Confidentiality

Information disclosed during a Reading will be treated confidentially and processed in accordance with the Stoic Astrologer Privacy Notice.

Confidential information will not be disclosed to third parties except:

• where required by law;

• where there is a serious risk of harm to the client or another person; or

• where disclosure is otherwise legally required.

9. Insurance

Stoic Astrologer holds public liability insurance and professional indemnity insurance appropriate to the provision of astrological consultation and training services.

10. Disclaimer

Stoic Astrologer provides astrological consultations for educational, philosophical, reflective and spiritual purposes.

Historical, philosophical, religious, and astrological sources: Stoic Astrologer draws on historical, philosophical, religious and astrological sources. References to historical texts and traditions are intended to provide historical, religious, philosophical and astrological context and should not be understood as an endorsement of every belief, prescription or social norm found in those sources. Contemporary interpretations presented by Stoic Astrologer are my own and should be understood as such.

Astrology is a symbolic and interpretive practice: Readings are intended to support reflection, meaning-making, self-understanding and conscious engagement with life's circumstances.

Astrological consultations are not intended to predict fixed outcomes, determine inevitable events or remove personal responsibility. Clients remain fully responsible for their own decisions, choices and actions.

Stoic Astrologer does not provide:

• medical advice;

• psychological or psychiatric treatment;

• counselling or psychotherapy;

• legal advice;

• financial advice; or

• any other regulated professional service.

Nothing discussed during a Reading should be regarded as a substitute for advice or treatment provided by appropriately qualified professionals. If you have concerns relating to your physical or mental health, you should consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional. If you require legal, financial or other specialist advice, you should seek assistance from a suitably qualified professional.

While every effort is made to provide careful, thoughtful and well-researched interpretations, astrology is inherently interpretive in nature and no guarantees can be made regarding future events, outcomes or experiences.

By booking a Reading, you acknowledge that:

• you understand the nature of astrological consultation;

• you participate voluntarily;

• you remain responsible for your own decisions and actions; and

• you accept these limitations on the scope of the service provided.

Stoic Astrologer encourages clients to exercise their own judgement, discernment and agency in all matters discussed during a session.

All written reports, recordings, handouts, and materials supplied by Stoic Astrologer remain the intellectual property of Stoic Astrologer unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Such materials are provided for personal use only and may not be reproduced, distributed, published, or commercially exploited without prior written permission.

12. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or your statutory rights as a consumer.

I will provide services with reasonable care and skill, in accordance with applicable consumer law.

13. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

Any disputes arising shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
