Service Limitations: Nutritional Therapy, Nutritional Review and Nutrition Power Hour

You understand that we do not have medical qualifications and cannot:

  • diagnose medical conditions
  • give advice regarding prescribed or recommended conventional medication and/or treatments.

Clients are responsible for contacting their medical health advisers regarding any health concerns and may be referred to them by us.

We base our analysis, feedback and recommendations on the information you provide in any questionnaires and forms you are asked to complete by us, and your consultations.  You therefore agree to provide complete, accurate and relevant information in these documents.

The analysis, feedback and recommendations we provide are based on your circumstances and lifestyle, along with scientific understanding at the point in time at which they are given.  Alible Nutrition cannot be held responsible for advice not being applicable in the future due to changes in your own circumstances, health or lifestyle, or scientific advances.

Specific results cannot be guaranteed due to the number of contributors involved in health management.  Your level of commitment and ability to implement agreed actions will affect the outcomes.

The timescales stated in the packages are approximate, according to the interval between consultations.  The time range given is based on consultations taking place 6-8 weeks apart from the date of the first consultation, not including any pre-package discussions.  Therefore, 3 month packages consist of 3 consultations, and 5 month packages consist of 4 consultations.  See below for rescheduling of consultations.

Service Limitations – Business Clients

For any business clients requiring a nutritional review of your canteen or day nursery menus.  You understand that we base our analyses on the general health requirements of healthy individuals and so it may not relate to any of your customers who have specific dietary requirements.

Our analysis, feedback and recommendations are based on the information you provide regarding the food you sell/serve.  You therefore agree to provide complete, accurate and relevant information to ensure the advice you receive is appropriate.

Our analysis, feedback and recommendations are only relevant to the menu data you provide to us.  You may not use it to reflect the health value of alternative, future or amended menu items.

Alible Nutrition cannot be held responsible for advice not being applicable following future scientific advances.

Payment, Deposits and Cancellations (Nutritional Therapy, Nutritional Review and Nutrition Power Hour)

You agree to pay the advertised cost at the point of ordering.  We reserve the right to update prices; however we will honour the price advertised at the time you ordered the service during any overlapping period.

Nutritional Therapy and Nutritional Review packages require deposits to be paid at the point of ordering.  This will be redeemed against the cost of the full payment at end of the first consultation.  We will not refund any payments if you cancel the order less than two working days prior to the first consultation.  Standard working days are Monday-Friday, not including bank holidays.  See below re missed consultations, or rescheduling of consulations.

Nutrition Power Hour bookings require full payment at the point of purchase.  We will not refund any payments if you cancel the order less than two working days prior to the consultation.  Standard working days are Monday-Friday, not including bank holidays.  See below re missed consultations, or rescheduling of consultations.

Payments can be made online using credit card.  Bank transfers may be accepted with prior agreement.

A ‘cooling off’ period of 14 working days applies to the payment of Nutrition Power Hour, and Nutritional Therapy and Nutritional Review full balance payments, unless the requested service consultations take place within that period.  If you wish to cancel your package during this time, the balance of payment (i.e. the package price, less the deposit paid previously) will be returned; after this time, no refund will be given.  If you wish to ‘downgrade’ the package you have selected during this period, the difference in package price will be refunded (Nutritional Therapy and Nutritional Review only).  Please provide written notice of your wish to cancel or alter your selected package during the ‘cooling off’ period via email to nutrition@alible.diet.

Any refunds will be paid within 14 working days of the cancellation.

Consultation Re-scheduling/Missed Consultations (Nutritional Therapy, Nutritional Review and Nutrition Power Hour)

We accept that consultation appointments may need to be rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances however, you should rearrange consultations at the earliest opportunity.

Nutritional Therapy and Nutritional Review consultations can be rescheduled to a new date up to 3 weeks from the planned date (if you need to reschedule the same consultation more than once, this timeframe applies to the original appointment date).  If the consultation cannot be held within this time, the appointment will be forfeited with no refund issued; any following consultations that have been arranged and/or form part of the package will continue as planned.  Consultations that are rescheduled for longer than one week beyond the original planned date, may require subsequent consultations to be rearranged also to ensure a 6-8 week timeframe in between consultations.

Nutrition Power Hour consultations may be rescheduled to a new date.  However, if the session is rescheduled to a date longer than 4 weeks after the original planned date, new paperwork may be required.  Consultations can be rescheduled a maximum of two times.

If you miss a consultation without prior notice (including missed consultations due to issues with internet connections), this consultation will be forfeited with no refund issued.  Any remaining consultations that form part of your package will continue as planned.
