6.1.3  Health Notifications: The Guest Organiser should state if they or another Guest/s has any medical condition and/ or if they are pregnant before making a booking (or as soon as this information becomes available if a booking has already been placed).  The Guest Organiser acknowledges that not all treatment/s will be suitable for a Guest who is pregnant, or perhaps has a disability or illness, in which case a doctor’s note may be required in order to receive treatments. Please be aware; for safety reasons Our therapists treatment beds have a weight capacity of approx. 20 stone / 280 lb / 127 kg and length of approx. 6 foot. Should your measurements exceed this, please let Our team know and We can suggest alternative arrangements for your treatments.

6.1.4   Fees: All fees for services arranged are to be pre-paid to Cotswold Spa Ltd, and the Guest Organiser will be bound by this price even if Guests choose not to have their treatment/s. If the booking is last minute, Cotswold Spa advises that you communicate directly with the office to ascertain the availability of a therapist before making a payment. Once this has been confirmed We require the fees to be paid in full at least 24 hours before the arrival time of Our therapist. Failure to make payment will result in booking cancellation and the associated charges will be applied.  Also see clause 3. Cancellation Policy and 5.13 Pricing.

6.1.7  Therapist Allocation:  Prior to your treatment day, We will allocate Our therapist/s to your booking.  We will await your treatment choices, and advise you that the treatments your therapist/s is able to offer are subject to their qualifications.  If the allocated therapist/s is unable to offer your chosen treatments, then We will offer alternative treatment suggestions, or We will advise if We have an alternative qualified therapist/s that can deliver these treatments at the requested time and date, or offer alternative times or dates that we have available.  We will obtain all relevant work permits, qualifications and insurance documents as required by law in relation to engagement of a therapist/s.  The Guest Organiser is aware that the therapists provided are not employees of Cotswold Spa Ltd. Our therapists are self-employed and hold their own public liability insurance.

6.2 The Treatment Day

6.2.1  Therapist Arrival Time: In order to make sure your treatment room is set up properly for your pamper session; your therapist will need to arrive approximately half an hour before your treatments are due to start as per the Booking Form. During this time, he/she will make sure the treatment bed is heated and that your oils and warm towels are ready.

6.2.2  Therapist Arrival: The Cotswold Spa therapist/s is welcomed by the Guest Organiser upon arrival. If available, We ask that you please reserve a car parking space at the property for your therapist to unload their equipment safely.  Assistance will be required with any heavy equipment on stairs please.

6.2.3  Timings: The Guest Organiser will ensure that Guest/s arrives in time for their pre scheduled treatment/s. The freelance therapist/s will make every effort to accommodate any changes due to lateness but in such an event Cotswold Spa will have no liability for any loss of treatment/s time.

6.2.4  Scheduled Therapist Breaks: The Guest Organiser should be aware that the therapist/s is entitled to pre-scheduled breaks during the course of the treatment day. Although We may not have allocated breaks for the therapist, please respect that pampering can be hard work, so in between a more strenuous treatment/s i.e. massage, the therapist/s may require a short break.

6.2.5  Delays: We have the right to charge the Guest Organiser or Guest/s responsible for delays of more than 30 minutes from the agreed Guest Treatment Form. The amount of £10.00 for every 30 minutes delay should be paid to Cotswold Spa Ltd. Alternatively, the delayed time cost can be deducted across all Guest/s treatments.

6.2.6  Room Set Up: The Guest Organiser will ensure that adequate space is provided for the therapist to perform their treatment/s.  We suggest that all treatments are to be carried out in double bedrooms and that any over flow in another bedroom or the living room.  Our therapists use 6 foot heated treatment beds for a lot of our treatments, so please ensure there is adequate room for the therapist/s to walk around them.  The therapist will require access to power and fresh, warm water.

6.2.7  Welcome Chat: Before your treatments begin, your therapist will have a small chat with you all about the day, so please inform your party of the planned event prior to treatments.

6.2.8  Guest Health Record Form: The Guest Organiser will ensure that all Guest/s have signed the appropriate health questionnaires prior to receiving treatment/s. These will have been sent to you by email prior to your treatment day and are also available online. Therapists are not responsible for any allergic reactions if consent has been given for treatment/s and allergies were not declared.

6.2.9  What to Wear: We would like you and your Guests to be as cosy and comfortable as possible, so We suggest that wearing a dressing gown is perfect for the event. If you would be more comfortable to cover up a little more, pyjamas are an ideal second option. It’s nice to keep your feet cosy and warm prior to your treatment, so either some thick socks or slippers will make sure of this.

6.2.10  Jewellery:  We ask that you take all jewellery off so that Our therapists can work without any restrictions. We ask that you put anything like this in a safe place, as we cannot accept responsibility for anything that gets lost or damaged.

6.2.11  Hot Tubs: If you are staying in a location that has hot tub facilities, We advise you use them prior to treatments in order to warm up & relax your muscles. Our products & oils are organic and kind to the environment, but please if you do wish to use the hot tub straight after treatments ensure you take a shower, thank you. Warning: Freshly painted nails can, and most likely will, bubble in the hot tub.  Every customers’ nails are different so drying times vary.  They need a minimum of 3 to 4 hours drying time.

6.2.12  Food and Drink: It can be difficult to fully enjoy your lovely treatments on a full stomach, so We ask that you have something light to eat beforehand. It’s a good idea to have plenty of refreshments available for after the pampering session, so that your body can feel truly indulged.

6.6.10  Alcohol: We are aware that treatment days are social events, however, We ask that the Guest Organiser take all responsibilities to ensure that Guest/s limit their intake of alcoholic beverages prior to receiving treatment/s.  The legal limit for driving is a suitable guideline.  Therapist/s may refuse treatment/s to any Guest Organiser or Guest/s if the therapist/s believe too much alcohol has been consumed before treatment/s.  Therapist/s are within their rights not to offer treatment/s to the Guest/s/concerned, should their behaviour be inappropriate or under the influence of drugs, with no refund.

6.6.13  Smoking: Freelance therapists require a smoke free environment.

6.6.14  Ambience: Although We try very hard to make your treatments as relaxed and peaceful as possible, We will not be liable for ambience of a treatment day due to the location/room chosen for treatment/s, as this is not provided by Us.

6.6.15  Completion of the Treatment Day: We will do Our upmost to insure the completion of the engagement in its entirety.  If any therapist/s is unable to perform his or her full engagement due to sickness, injury, or any other reason, We will use all resources necessary by providing an alternative therapist/s. Should any part of the engagement not be fulfilled in its entirety by Us, We will deduct on a pro-rata basis the cost of the unfulfilled proportion of the engagement.

6.6.16  Losses and Expenses: We shall not be liable to the Guest Organiser or Guest/s for any loss, injury, damage, expense or delay suffered by the Guest Organiser or the Guests. This exclusion shall extend (but not be limited) to the consequences of any act or omission (whether wilful, negligent, reckless, dishonest or otherwise) which takes place during the treatment day on the part of the freelance therapist/s or the Guest Organiser or the Guest/s. The Guest Organiser acknowledges that Our charges are set on the basis that it has no such liability. If you have any further questions please do call us on 01453 889184 or email us at info@cotswoldspa.co.uk prior to your day, thank you.
