  • Age Restriction 

Only if a person is at least 18 years of age may they set up an Account or purchase a Subscription through Our App and access Paid Content. 

  • Business Customers

These Terms and Conditions and the attachment below apply to Consumer customers only.  

  • Subscriptions, Paid Content, Pricing and Availability
      1. We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all descriptions of Subscriptions and Paid Content available from Us correspond to the actual Subscription and Paid Content that You will receive. Please note, however, that due to reviews and updates of the Services, minor differences or discrepancies may occur (see Clause 6.4).
      2. Please note that sub-Clause 6.1 does not exclude Our responsibility for mistakes due to negligence on Our part and refers only to minor discrepancies between the Paid Content and the descriptions of it. Please refer to Clause 11 if Your Subscription or the Paid Content is incorrect.
      3. We may from time to time change Our prices. Changes in price will not affect any Subscription that You have already purchased but will apply to any subsequent renewal or new Subscription. We will inform You of any change in price by posting changes on Our App before the change is due to take effect. If You do not agree to such a change, You may cancel the Subscription as described in sub-Clause 13.1.
      4. Minor changes may, from time to time, be made to certain Paid Content, for example, to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, or to address technical or security issues. These changes will not alter the main characteristics of the Paid Content and should not normally affect Your use of that Paid Content. However, if any change is made that would affect Your use of the Paid Content, suitable information will be provided to You.
      5. In some cases, as described in the relevant content descriptions, We may also make more significant changes to the Paid Content. If We do so, We will inform You by posting changes on Our App before the changes are due to take effect. If You do not agree to the changes, You may cancel the Subscription as described in sub-Clause 13.1.
      6. Where any updates are made to Paid Content, that Paid Content will continue to match Our description of it as provided to You before You purchased Your Subscription for access to the Paid Content. Please note that this does not prevent Us from enhancing the Paid Content, thereby going beyond the original description.
      7. We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all prices shown on Our App are correct at the time of going online. Changes in price will not affect any order for a Subscription that You have already placed (please note sub-Clause 6.11 regarding VAT, however).
      8. All prices are checked by Us before We accept Your order. In the unlikely event that We have shown incorrect pricing information, We will contact You in writing to inform You of the mistake. If the correct price is lower than that shown when You made Your order, We will simply charge You the lower amount and continue processing Your order. If the correct price is higher, We will give You the option to purchase the Subscription at the correct price or to cancel Your order (or the affected part of it). We will not proceed with processing Your order in this case until You respond. If We do not receive a response from You within 5 Working Days, We will treat Your order as cancelled and notify You of this.
      9. If We discover an error in the price or description of Your Subscription after Your order is processed, We will inform You immediately and make all reasonable efforts to correct the error. You may, however, have the right to cancel the Contract if this happens. If We inform You of such an error and You do wish to cancel the Contract, please refer to sub-Clause 14.4.
      10. If the price of a Subscription that You have ordered changes between Your order being placed and Us processing that order and taking payment, You will be charged the price shown on Our App at the time of placing Your order.
      11. All prices on Our App include VAT. If the VAT rate changes between Your order being placed and Us taking payment, the amount of VAT payable will be automatically adjusted when taking payment.
  • Orders – How Contracts Are Formed
      1. Use of the Paid Content and group programme requires the payment of a Subscription Fee.  Subscription Fees are detailed here https://lets-speek.com/speek-subscription/]. Your credit / debit card/ will be billed at the time at which You sign up for such features and monthly thereafter and automatically renew on a monthly basis until cancellation or termination. The Subscription will automatically renew unless You give Us notice prior to the renewal date that You wish to terminate the Subscription. Subscriptions can be terminated at any time for no extra charge. Upon termination Your subscription will end on the last day of Your Subscription period. On termination of the Subscription, all User Content will be deleted.
      2. Our App will guide You through the process of setting up an Account and purchasing a Subscription. (Please also see the attachment below as to setting up an Account.) Before completing Your purchase of a Subscription, You will be given the opportunity to review Your order for the Subscription and amend it. Please ensure that You have checked Your order carefully before submitting it.
      3. By creating an Account You represent and warrant that:
        1. all information You submit is accurate and truthful and You have authority to provide that information; and
        2. You will keep this information accurate and up-to-date.
        3. You are over 18 years of age;
      4. Sharing of accounts is not permitted unless expressly authorised in writing by Us.  You must keep Your Account details confidential and should not reveal Your username or password to any unauthorised third parties.

If, during the order process, You provide Us with incorrect or incomplete information (including any incorrect or incomplete information about You or the type of Paid Content that You require) please contact Us as soon as possible.  If We are unable to process Your order due to incorrect or incomplete information, We will contact You to ask to correct it. If You do not give Us the accurate or complete information within a reasonable time of Our request, We will cancel Your order and treat the Contract as being at an end. We will not be responsible for any delay in the availability of Paid Content that results from You providing incorrect or incomplete information.
      6. No part of Our App constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance.  Your order to purchase a Subscription constitutes a contractual offer that We may, at Our sole discretion, accept. Our acknowledgement of receipt of Your order does not mean that We have accepted it. Our acceptance is indicated by Us sending You a Subscription Confirmation by email. Only once We have sent You a Subscription Confirmation will there be a legally binding “Contract” between Us and You.
      7. Subscription Confirmations shall contain the following information:
        1. Your Subscription ID;
        2. Confirmation of the Subscription ordered including full details of the main characteristics of the Subscription and Paid Content available as part of it;
        3. Fully itemised pricing for Your Subscription including, where appropriate, taxes, and other additional charges;

        5. Confirmation of Your acknowledgement that the Paid Content will be made available to You immediately and that You will lose Your legal right to change Your mind and cancel upon accessing the Paid Content as detailed below in sub-Clause 13.1;
        6. In relation to any video (live or recorded) event, item, series, collection or type/s of events or items or Background Items constituting the Paid Content, the time/date when or period during which it can be accessed; and
      8. In the unlikely event that We do not accept or cannot fulfil Your order for any reason, We will explain why in writing. No payment will be taken under normal circumstances. If We have taken payment any such sums will be refunded to You as soon as possible and in any event within 15 Working Days.
      9. Any refunds under this Clause 7 will be issued to You as soon as possible, and in any event within 14 calendar days of the day on which the event triggering the refund occurs.
      10. Refunds under this Clause 7 will be made using the same payment method that You used when purchasing Your Subscription.

    2. All Paid Content within the scope of Your Subscription will be available to You in accordance with Clause 7 from when We send You a Subscription Confirmation for the duration of Your Subscription, including any renewals, or until You end the Contract, on and subject to the following:

  1. If an item of Paid Content is a livestream item, We will use all reasonable endeavours to make it available and start it at the time it Is scheduled to start, but the start may be delayed either by overrun of a previous livestream item (such being made available by Us to You and/or to others) or by other circumstances. Any such delay will not normally exceed 15 minutes  but if the start is delayed by more than that period then We will reschedule a new start date and time.
  1. When You place an order for a Subscription, You will be required to expressly acknowledge that You wish Paid Content to be made available to You to access immediately.

  3.

You will not be charged while availability is suspended and Your Subscription will be extended by a period equivalent to the length of the suspension (unless the period of suspension is less than 24 hours).  If the suspension lasts (or We tell You that it is going to last) for more than 21 days, You may end the Contract as described below in sub-Clause 14.2.
  4. We may suspend provision of the Paid Content as follows if We do not receive payment on time from You. We will inform You of the non-payment on the due date, however if You do not make payment within 10 Working Days of Our notice, We may suspend provision of the Paid Content until We have received all outstanding sums due from You. If We do suspend provision of the Paid Content, We will inform You of the suspension. You will not be charged for any Paid Content while provision is suspended.
  5. Any refunds under this Clause 9 will be issued to You as soon as possible, and in any event within 10 Working Days of the day on which the event triggering the refund occurs.

  • Cancelling Your Subscription – Consumers
    1. If You are a Consumer, by default You have a legal right to a “cooling-off” period within which You can cancel the Contract for any reason, including if You have changed Your mind, and receive a refund. The period begins once We have sent You Your Subscription Confirmation (i.e. when the Contract between You and Us is formed) and ends when You access (e.g. download or stream) any Paid Content, or 14 calendar days after the date of Our Subscription Confirmation, whichever occurs first.
    2. If You are a User based in the UK or European Union, You have a statutory right to a “cooling-off” period with respect to the purchase of certain goods and services.  This period, if applicable, begins once the contract between the seller and You, the buyer, is formed and ends at the end of 14 calendar days after that date.  
    3. Under some circumstances, premium features requiring the payment of Subscription Fees on this App are made available immediately upon Our confirmation of Your order for them.  By expressly requesting this, You waive Your right to the cooling-off period and may not cancel the contract merely because You have changed Your mind. 
    4. After the cooling-off period, You may cancel Your Subscription at any time. However, subject to sub-Clause 13.3 and Clause 14, We cannot offer any refunds and You will continue to have access to the Paid Content for the remainder of Your current Subscription (up until the renewal or expiry date, as applicable), whereupon the Contract will end.
    5. If You purchase a Subscription by mistake (or allow Your Subscription to renew by mistake), please inform Us as soon as possible and do not attempt to access any Paid Content. Provided You have not accessed any Paid Content since the start date (or renewal date, as appropriate) of the Subscription We will be able to cancel the Subscription and issue a full refund.  If You have accessed any Paid Content once the Subscription has started, We will not be able to offer any refund and You will continue to have access to the Paid Content for the remainder of the Subscription (up until the renewal or expiry date, as applicable).

Attachment

  • Use of the Zoom web-conferencing platform to access one on one and group sessions online 

We offer the Content online with a Psychologist or a Psychologist and group therapy session with other Consumers led by one of Our Psychologists (and groups of 5-8 Users). 

We use technology which allows Us to provide the Content provided that You have the appropriate technology (see below) to receive the Content. For this purpose, We use the Zoom cloud-based web conferencing platform (“Zoom”) or if Zoom is not available We may use Microsoft Teams (“Teams”). 

Where We are to make any of the Content available for You by means of Zoom or Teams rather than any other platform, it will be on the following basis.

By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions You hereby agree that You will comply with any and all of Zoom’s and or Team’s terms and conditions and policies required for the use of these third party sites. Unless expressly stated, We neither assume nor accept responsibility or liability for 1) the content  or availability of these third party sites, these sites are not under the Our control; and 2) Your breach of any of these third party site’s terms and conditions or policies required for the use of these third party sites.   

  • The technology that We will be responsible for providing

We will subscribe to Zoom or Teams and will pay any necessary fees to Zoom or Teams as the case may be to maintain that subscription. It will enable Us to act as “host” and to provide the Content to You over the internet via the Zoom or Teams platform. 

To receive or participate in any of the Content via Zoom or Teams, You will need to join an online session which is within the scope of Your Subscription. You will not need to pay any fee or charge to use the Zoom or Teams facility or join that session: You will only need to pay for the Content made available by Your Subscription.  

We do not provide any PC, laptop, tablet, mobile phone or other hardware (“Device(s)”) or any Zoom or Teams App or other software for use on or with any Devices, nor any internet connection or service or other equipment or facilities necessary to enable You to use Zoom or Teams. 

  • The technology and other items that You will be responsible for providing

It will be Your sole responsibility to ensure that You have access to, and familiarity with all necessary technology so that You can receive and participate in the Content via Zoom or Teams. We will always inform You as to which platform We are using. 

You will need to ensure that You have access to and use the following non-exhaustive list of facilities for this purpose:

  1. An appropriate functioning Device which is adequately charged;
  2. An up to date Zoom or Teams App where applicable. It will need to be downloaded to Your Device, and installed and working fully and correctly on Your Device, so that You can receive the Content;
  3. Stable, reliable, internet access with adequate speed;
  4. A safe location with a suitable quiet and comfortable environment in which to watch, listen, speak where appropriate, make notes, and otherwise to participate as necessary, without the presence of any other person to distract You or the Psychologist;
  5. Where the Device on its own does not provide an adequate microphone and/or loudspeakers for the purpose, external microphone and/or speakers as reasonably necessary; and
  6. any other materials or equipment that You will need, as advised by Us before You place Your order for a Subscription.

We do not supply or make available the Zoom or Teams platform that You use to access any Content. We are not a party to Your download and use of that platform, and We will have no responsibility or liability to You in relation to it in any respect. It will be subject to and governed by such terms and conditions and privacy policy of Zoom or Teams as the case may be as the third party provider of the platform to You imposes on such download and use. 

Paid Content consisting of Background Items is not provided via the Zoom or Teams platform but is instead downloadable directly from Our App.

  • Scope of what We make available to access

We do not, and cannot, assist You to obtain, set up, maintain, or operate any technology. If You need any assistance or advice about technology, You should seek it from an appropriate third party. We do not, and cannot, give You any advice about what technology is needed or how to use it. 

We do not claim to have any expertise or skill in relation to any technology that You need or use for the purpose of receiving the Content. However, We may, if You request it, either before or during any session of the Content, and without charge, offer suggestions in good faith to resolve any problem with that technology that You report, but it will not be in the nature of advice to You. We do not therefore take on any responsibility or accept any liability to You if any such suggestion does not help You to resolve any problem or if by following any such suggestion You experience any other problem, loss or damage to any technology or other thing except if Your Device or Your content is damaged in circumstances where We are liable in respect of that damage under the Terms and Conditions.

We will not be responsible or liable to You if You are unable to access any of the Content due to any failure or delay in performing Our obligations under the Contract resulting from any cause beyond Our reasonable control. In any such case, You will remain liable to pay for the Content that We have made available for You. Such causes beyond Our reasonable control may include (but are not limited to): 

  1. Where You are unable to resolve any technology problem (whether or not You have asked Us for or We have offered any suggestions as to how to resolve the problem); or 
  2. Any slow speed, instability, temporary or other breakdown, unavailability or inadequacy of, or defect in, Your internet service or any other equipment or service (e.g. telecommunications, computing, audio or visual) that You use or rely on; or
  3. Failure of or defect in the Zoom or Teams platform used by Us or You to make the Content available to You; or
  4. Your inability to access the Content due to failure of or defects in Our App etc. 

  • Account setup needed

In order to purchase any Subscription and enable You to receive any Content, and utilise certain parts of the Services, You will first need to setup and then maintain an Account with Us. Our App will guide You through the process of setting up an Account. Please also note the following in regard to Account setup.

You may not create an Account if You are under 18 years of age.

We only offer Paid Content for use in the UK to individuals residing in the UK. You may only open an Account with a residential address in the UK.

During the process of setting up an Account, You will be required to choose a password and username. We recommend that You choose a strong password for Your Account. 

You may be asked for additional information regarding Your Account, such as Your e-mail address.

You are required to book sessions through Our Platform, availability for sessions is first come first served. By purchasing a Subscription We do not guarantee the availability of sessions. 

  • Your responsibility for Your Account and its security

You must not share Your Account details with anyone. If You believe that Your Account is being used without Your permission, please contact Us immediately. We will not be liable for any unauthorised use of Your Account.

You are fully responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Your password and account information and for all activities that occur under Your password or Account. You must ensure that You log out from Your Account at the end of each session accessed by You. You must immediately notify Us of any unauthorised use of Your password or Account or any other breach of security relating to Your Account.

You must never use anyone else’s Account without prior authorisation from Us for the specific occasion in question.

When creating an Account, the information You provide must be accurate and complete. If any of Your information changes at a later date, it is Your responsibility to ensure that Your Account is kept up-to-date.

If You have an active Subscription, Your Account will remain active for the duration of the period of that Subscription or, if later, until the end of the latest access period granted to any Instruction by the Subscription. 

  • Your privacy and security on each occasion when Content is accessed 

Where any session that You access is two-way synchronous livestream audio and/or video technology (not a pre-recorded one-way transmission), on the occasion of You accessing it, it will also be made simultaneously accessible to all others who have purchased it and choose to access it unless We specify that it is to be made available on that occasion only to You as an individual private session. 

Therefore, unless We specify that a particular two-way session is only accessible to You, the following will apply to such a session: 

  1. When You sign in to Zoom or Teams, You should indicate Your first name only since Your name will be visible to other Users taking part; 
  2. You understand and are aware that there is a risk that other Users and other people may see and hear (via the video and/or audio facilities of the Zoom or Teams App and Your Device) not only You but also Your space and its surroundings and other people in or near that space and its surroundings when You are participating in the session; 
  3. The space that You use should be free of others and it should be difficult to see or hear via the Zoom and Your Device any interactions between people who are in or near that space and its surroundings. For example, You might decide to use a private room and/or wear headphones;
  4. There are potential risks in transmitting information over technology that include, but are not limited to, breaches of confidentiality and the theft of personal information;
  5. We cannot ensure privacy or confidentiality due to the nature of two-way sessions involving Our other Users as well as You;
  6. In any event, it will be Your responsibility to ensure that You have a suitable space to use when participating in any two-way session in order to protect Your privacy and that of others in or near that space.

We will not be liable to You for any loss or damage arising from Your failure to comply with the above requirements.

  • Health and Safety

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • When You purchase a Subscription and at least 48 hours before You participate in any session, 

You must tell Us of any special requirement, problem or condition of which You are aware which might be relevant to You participating in that session. We will inform You if We decide not to accept Your order for a Subscription because of the particular requirement, problem or condition in question. If We do accept Your order, You must act in accordance with any instructions provided by Us relating to the matter; and

(b) Due to the remote nature of online sessions, We do not undertake to and cannot supervise, attend, assist or advise (or arrange for or alert any third party to do so), if during a session You fall ill, have an accident or experience any other problem. 

9 Psychologists

Please note that:

  1. We will in Our discretion decide which Psychologist to assign to each session. Where a Subscription comprises more than one session, We may assign different Psychologists to different sessions but will endeavour to minimise the changes of Psychologist from one session to the next in relation to each Subscription.
  2. In any event, the Psychologist who We assign to any session will be appropriately qualified and/or experienced at the appropriate level for that session and will be competent to conduct that session. 
  3. Details of actual or minimum qualifications or experience of the Psychologists who We may or will assign to any session will be available to see on Our App.  Where We are able to and consider it appropriate or helpful to Our Users to do so, We include on Our App brief details of Our Psychologists current and former relevant roles with other organisations.
