DISCLAIMER & TERMS OF SERVICE

===============================

Alastair Ballentyne — Personal Development Consultant

Last updated: March 2026

1. NATURE OF SERVICES

=====================

Alastair Ballentyne provides personal development consulting, Belief Coding® facilitation, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping, tarot and astrology readings, and related classes and courses (collectively, "the Services").

The Services are classified as complementary and holistic practices. They are not medical treatments, psychotherapy, counselling, or any form of regulated healthcare. The Services do not constitute medical, psychological, psychiatric, or any other form of licensed healthcare advice or treatment.

Belief Coding® is a facilitation modality that works with subconscious belief systems. EFT is classified as a complementary therapy in the United Kingdom. Tarot, astrology and intuitive readings are provided for personal reflection and guidance purposes.

No service offered by Alastair Ballentyne is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or psychological condition.

2. NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL OR MENTAL HEALTH CARE

===================================================================

The Services are designed to complement, not replace, any medical, psychological, psychiatric, or other professional healthcare treatment you may be receiving.

You should not discontinue, alter, or refrain from seeking any form of medical or mental health treatment as a result of anything experienced, learned, or discussed during any session, programme, class, course, masterclass, or any other interaction with Alastair Ballentyne.

If you are currently receiving medical or mental health treatment, taking prescribed medication, or have been diagnosed with any medical or psychological condition, you must consult your healthcare professional before engaging with the Services. It is your responsibility to inform your healthcare provider of any complementary practices you undertake.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact your GP, call NHS 111, or attend your nearest A&E department. In an emergency, call 999.

3. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY & INFORMED CONSENT

=============================================

By engaging with any of the Services, you acknowledge and agree that:

a) You are participating of your own free will and have not been coerced, pressured, or unduly influenced to do so.

b) Any decisions, actions, or changes you make during or after engaging with the Services are entirely your own responsibility. Alastair Ballentyne does not accept liability for any choices, decisions, or actions you take as a result of anything learned, experienced, discussed, or suggested during any session, programme, class, course, masterclass, reading, or other interaction.

c) You are responsible for your own physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing before, during, and after any session or programme. If at any point you feel uncomfortable, distressed, or unwell, it is your responsibility to communicate this and, if necessary, to stop the session.

d) You understand that results vary between individuals. No specific outcomes, results, or timeframes are guaranteed. Testimonials and case studies shared on this website or in marketing materials reflect individual experiences and are not guarantees of similar results.

e) You have disclosed any relevant medical conditions, mental health diagnoses, medications, or other information that may be material to the safe and effective delivery of the Services. Failure to disclose relevant information may affect the safety and efficacy of the work and releases Alastair Ballentyne from any associated liability.

f) You understand that Belief Coding® and EFT may involve the surfacing of emotions, memories, and experiences. This is a normal part of the process. However, if you have a history of severe trauma, psychosis, epilepsy, or other conditions that may be adversely affected by emotional processing, you must disclose this prior to commencing any session or programme.

g) You are aged 18 or over. Services are not provided to anyone under the age of 18.

4. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

===========================

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

a) Alastair Ballentyne shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with the Services, including but not limited to emotional distress, financial loss, relationship changes, career decisions, or any other outcome resulting from your engagement with the Services.

b) Alastair Ballentyne shall not be liable for any actions, decisions, or omissions made by you during or after engaging with the Services.

c) The total liability of Alastair Ballentyne in connection with any claim arising from the Services shall not exceed the amount paid by you for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

d) Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under English law.

5. READINGS DISCLAIMER

=======================

5.1 Nature of readings

Tarot, astrology, and intuitive readings are provided for personal reflection, guidance, and empowerment purposes. They should not be taken as absolute truth, professional advice, or a basis for making significant life decisions without independent consideration.

Readings reflect the energies and patterns present at the time of the reading. They are not deterministic predictions of the future. You retain full agency and responsibility for your own choices and actions.

5.2 Topics not covered

Alastair Ballentyne will not provide readings on the following:

— Health, medical, or pregnancy matters

— Financial advice, investments, or financial outcomes

— Legal situations or legal outcomes

— Political matters

— Anything involving ill intentions toward others or interference with another person's free will

— Relationship readings seeking the breakup of another person's relationship

— "What is this person doing/thinking right now" — this constitutes psychic spying and will not be facilitated

— Remote viewing, lost items, missing people, or missing pets

— Mediumship or contact with those who have passed

— Twin flame readings

5.3 Ethical boundaries

Alastair Ballentyne will not confirm or deny the work of other readers or practitioners. Readings are conducted with integrity and will not reinforce delusion, wishful thinking, dependency, or any dynamic in which you are giving your power away.

The purpose of every reading is to support your clarity, agency, and self-trust — not to create reliance on external guidance. If at any point during a reading the practitioner determines that the enquiry falls outside the boundaries listed above, the reading will be redirected or concluded. No refund will be issued in such cases if the boundaries were communicated prior to the session.

5.4 Accuracy and interpretation

No reader or intuitive practitioner can guarantee 100% accuracy. Readings are interpretive by nature and are influenced by the energy, openness, and honesty the client brings to the session. Alastair Ballentyne takes no responsibility for misinterpretation of guidance provided, nor for decisions made on the basis of a reading.

6. CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY

================================

6.1 Live Sessions (Belief Coding, EFT, Readings, Consultations)

Live sessions involve the direct allocation of the practitioner's time, which cannot be recovered once committed. Therefore:

- Cancellations made more than 48 hours before the scheduled session: 50% refund of the session fee.

- Cancellations made within 24-48 hours of the scheduled session: No refund. You may reschedule once to a mutually agreed date within 14 days of the original appointment.

- Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled session or failure to attend (no-show): No refund. You may reschedule once to a mutually agreed date within 14 days of the original appointment.

- Each booking is entitled to a maximum of two reschedules. After the second reschedule, the session is forfeited and no refund will be issued.

6.2 Programmes (Embodying Resonance)

Programme packages are priced as a complete journey, not as individual sessions. By committing to a programme, you are committing to the full course of sessions.

- If you wish to withdraw from the programme after sessions have commenced, fees for completed sessions will be calculated at the individual session rate and any remaining balance will be refunded, less an administration fee of £50.

- If you have completed more than 50% of the programme sessions, no refund will be available.

- Programme accountability support (Voxer/Telegram) is non-refundable once access has been granted.

6.3 Pre-Recorded Services (Audio Readings)

Pre-recorded audio readings are non-refundable once the recording has been delivered.

6.4 Classes, Courses & Digital Products

Digital products, self-paced courses, and class recordings are non-refundable once access has been granted, in accordance with the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, as you will have expressly consented to the provision of digital content and acknowledged that your right to cancel is lost once the content has been accessed.

6.5 Free Consultations

Free consultation calls carry no financial obligation. There is no commitment to purchase any service following a free consultation.

Session recordings, if made, are for the client's personal use only and may not be shared, published, or distributed.

=====================================

Testimonials displayed on this website and in marketing materials are genuine client experiences shared with consent. Individual results vary and no testimonial should be interpreted as a guarantee of specific outcomes.
