By booking a session with the DC Relationship Education Center, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions:

1. Session Purpose and Duration
The DC Relationship Education Center offers educational consultations, individual coaching, couples coaching, and other relationship education services.

The purpose, duration, and scope of your appointment will depend on the specific service selected at booking. Please review the service description carefully to ensure it meets your needs.

All sessions are intended to provide education, guidance, and opportunities for personal or relational development within the scope of the selected service.

2. Payment and Refunds
Payment is required at the time of booking to secure your appointment.
Cancellations made at least 24 hours before the scheduled session are eligible for a refund or the opportunity to reschedule.

Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice and missed appointments are nonrefundable, except as required by applicable law.

3. Cancellations and Rescheduling
Clients must provide at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule a session. Requests should be submitted through the booking platform or by contacting the Center directly.

Rescheduling requests made with less than 24 hours' notice may require a new booking and payment.

If the Center must cancel your appointment or cannot accommodate a necessary schedule change, you will be offered an alternative appointment or a full refund.

4. Late Arrivals and Missed Sessions
Please arrive on time and be prepared to begin your session at the scheduled start time.

A 10-minute grace period is provided for late arrivals. Clients arriving more than 10 minutes late may have their session classified as a no-show, without a refund or complimentary rescheduling.

Late arrivals do not extend the scheduled session end time.

5. Virtual Session Requirements
Sessions are conducted virtually via Zoom unless otherwise specified in the service description.

Clients are responsible for having a reliable internet connection, a functioning device, and a private environment suitable for discussing personal matters.
If technical difficulties arise, please notify the Center as soon as possible. Alternative arrangements may be considered based on the circumstances.

6. Scope of Services
The DC Relationship Education Center provides relationship education, personal development coaching, and related educational services.

Services do not constitute psychotherapy, mental health counseling, psychological diagnosis, medical treatment, legal advice, or crisis intervention.
The Center reserves the right to recommend alternative services or specialized professional support when a client's needs fall outside the scope of the selected service.

7. Service Selection and Participation
Clients are responsible for reviewing service descriptions and selecting an appointment appropriate to their needs.

Certain services may have additional eligibility requirements, participation expectations, or preparation instructions. These will be communicated through the applicable service description or booking materials.

Booking an individual session does not automatically establish enrollment in an ongoing coaching program or guarantee access to additional services.

8. Privacy and Confidentiality
Personal information shared during sessions will be treated with discretion and used for purposes related to providing the selected service.

The Center does not guarantee therapist-client privilege or the confidentiality protections associated with licensed mental health treatment. 

For sessions involving more than one participant, each person is encouraged to respect the privacy and personal information of others.

9. Agreement to Terms
By completing your booking and submitting payment, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms and conditions.
