Rates and Policies Agreement
Gayle Nastasi, and Gazehound’s, has a unique payment policy. Unlike most animal communicators, I do not require payment up front. I ask that clients wait until after the session, and decide whether the session was helpful at all, before sending payment.
If payment is sent, it may be via Paypal (http://www.paypal.com) sent to allcreatures@gazehound.com or by personal check or money order to:
Gayle Nastasi
473 Gridley Rd
Middleburgh, NY 12122
My base rate is $36.00 for the first half hour minimum session, with $1.20 per minute additional if the session goes beyond the half hour. Please see the main Rates page for information on referral credits and rescue discounts.
[Please note that these amounts reflect a rate change beginning July 1st, 2009.]
Important: By sending payment, the client is agreeing that Gayle Nastasi and Gazehound’s are not liable in any way for problems which might arise with the pet in question after the fact. The client understands that animal communication is not an exact science, and while all effort is made to interpret what the pet is sharing with accuracy, the communicator may encounter issues which cause errors in interpretation. Since things are being relayed through the animal’s perspective, if the animal does not fully understand something it is experiencing, the communicator may not have a clear picture, either. The remission of payment is a binding admission that the client understands the uncertainties involved, and accepts any risks which might arise in following the animal’s indications as relayed through the communicator.
Please do not schedule a session unless you understand and are willing to abide by this agreement. Thank you.
“Guarantee Policy” Details: As you have read, I have unique policy of only requiring payment if you feel the session is in some way helpful. The only requirement is that, if you feel the session was not helpful in any way, and does not warrant payment, you must let me know. Unless a client emails, writes, or calls to let me know that payment will not be forthcoming, the client will receive periodic reminders for the period of approximately one year. All that is required, upon receiving those reminders, if the client does not wish to pay (for a valid reason … an unhelpful session), is that the client respond to that reminder, and ask to be removed from the reminder list.
If the client fails to remit payment, or openly communicate with me as to why payment is not forthcoming, that account will be placed on “pay in advance only” status. This means that the client will not be able to schedule further sessions with me unless payment for those sessions is sent in advance, and then only if the back balance owed is submitted first. No follow-up sessions are available unless a client’s account is current.
Thank you for understanding the need to clarify these details.
