- This Agreement shall in no way constitute or be construed as a contract of sale between the Parties. The provision of psychological counseling and nutrition and dietetics services shall be governed by a separate sales agreement to be duly executed between the User and the Consultant. For the avoidance of doubt, any such services procured by the User from a Consultant outside the Platform and without the knowledge of Hiwell shall expressly fall outside the purview and scope of this Agreement.

The Client acknowledges and agrees that any information, or recommendations provided by the Consultant during sessions reflect only the Consultant’s personal and professional opinions. The Client further accepts that Hiwell shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by the Client or any third party as a result of such opinions or statements made by the Consultant.
- Hiwell operates solely as a software platform that facilitates the provision of services between the User and the Consultant.
- Hiwell shall not guarantee the accuracy of any information or recommendations, provided during the sessions conducted between the User and the Consultant, and shall not be held liable for any loss or damage arising from such content.

Similarly, the User may open (i.e., postpone) a session a maximum of three times under the same profile. In cases of postponement, the User may withdraw from the contract up to twenty-four (24) hours prior to the session. Any request to postpone a session for a fourth time shall be rejected.

In the event of a refund within the Refund Period, the difference between the standard (non-discounted) session fee and the discounted session fee shall constitute a penalty against the User, and the used sessions shall be recalculated at the standard session fee. The amount determined by deducting the recalculated fees of the used sessions from the total price of the session package shall be refunded to the User.

- The User have the right to change the Consultant within the scope of the purchased session package. However, if such a change arises from reasons beyond the User’s control, such as the Consultant’s departure from the Platform, Hiwell shall propose a new Consultant to the User, regardless of whether the session package includes the right to change Consultants. The User shall continue receiving services either from one of the Consultants proposed by Hiwell or from another Consultant of the User’s choosing.
