Welcome to www.patrickmarkert.com (the “Site”). The Site is owned and operated by Patrick Markert Hypnotherapy (“Patrick Markert Hypnotherapy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Site, including its content, appointment-booking features, contact forms, digital materials, and links to services provided by third parties. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
The Site provides information about hypnotherapy and related services offered by Patrick Markert, a Certified Hypnotherapist. It may also allow users to request or book appointments, make payments, access remote sessions, contact Patrick Markert Hypnotherapy, and purchase or receive digital recordings or other materials.
Professional Disclosure and Nature of Services
Patrick Markert is a Certified Hypnotherapist and does not provide medical, psychological, psychiatric, or licensed mental health services.
Hypnotherapy is intended to support personal growth, relaxation, stress reduction, behavioral change, emotional insight, self-awareness, and overall well-being. It is not a substitute for medical care, psychotherapy, psychological counseling, psychiatric treatment, diagnosis, or crisis intervention.
Information provided on the Site is for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on the Site creates a physician-patient, psychotherapist-client, or other licensed healthcare relationship.
If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, believe you may harm yourself or another person, or otherwise require immediate assistance, call 911 or contact an appropriate emergency or crisis service. The Site and its contact forms are not monitored as emergency resources.
No Guarantee of Results
Hypnotherapy is a collaborative and individualized process. Experiences and outcomes vary, and no particular result is promised or guaranteed. Testimonials, descriptions of services, and examples of possible benefits represent individual experiences or general information and should not be interpreted as guarantees of what any particular person will experience.
Informed Consent and Service-Specific Terms
Booking or participating in hypnotherapy services may require you, or a parent or legal guardian when applicable, to complete and accept a separate Client Intake and Hypnotherapy Informed Consent form. Any policies or terms presented during booking, payment, intake, or informed consent apply in addition to these Terms.
If a service-specific agreement conflicts with these Terms regarding your participation in that service, the service-specific agreement will control to the extent of that conflict.
Eligibility and Services for Minors
You must be at least 18 years old to book services for yourself.
Hypnotherapy services may be provided to a person under 18 only with the authorization and informed consent of a parent or legal guardian and at the discretion of Patrick Markert Hypnotherapy. A parent or legal guardian who books or authorizes services for a minor represents that they have the legal authority to provide that consent and agrees to comply with all applicable service policies.
The Site is not directed to children for independent use. Minors should use the Site only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian.
Payment, Cancellation, and Appointment Policies
Appointments must be scheduled at least 72 hours in advance.
Payment is due at the time of booking, is required to reserve an appointment, and is nonrefundable.
Appointments may be rescheduled with at least 48 hours’ notice. Appointments canceled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours’ notice, and missed appointments, will result in forfeiture of the payment.
Sessions that begin late because of client delay will still conclude at the scheduled ending time.
After booking, clients must complete and electronically sign the applicable Client Intake and Hypnotherapy Informed Consent form within 24 hours. This information is needed to prepare an approach tailored to the client’s goals and needs. A hypnotherapy session cannot proceed unless the completed form and electronic signature have been received.
Additional appointment details or policies displayed during booking form part of your agreement with Patrick Markert Hypnotherapy. If Patrick Markert Hypnotherapy must cancel or reschedule an appointment, we will communicate with you regarding available options.
Remote Sessions
Remote sessions may be conducted through Zoom or another third-party platform. You are responsible for having a suitable device, a reliable internet connection, and a safe, quiet, and reasonably private location.
You may not participate in a Discovery Call or hypnotherapy session while driving. During hypnosis, you must not drive, operate machinery, or engage in any activity that requires your full attention. You may not participate in a hypnotherapy session while under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs.
Although reasonable efforts are made to support privacy, no internet-based communication or videoconferencing platform can be guaranteed to be completely secure or uninterrupted.
Session Recordings and Digital Materials
Hypnotherapy sessions are recorded only with the client’s permission. Any session recording provided to a client is for that client’s personal, private use and may not be published, posted online, distributed, sold, altered for redistribution, or used for commercial purposes without prior written permission from Patrick Markert Hypnotherapy.
Unless different written license terms are provided at the time of purchase or delivery, prerecorded hypnotherapy audio, personalized recordings, scripts, written exercises, and other downloadable or digital materials are licensed to the recipient for personal, noncommercial use only. Purchasing or receiving a recording or other material does not transfer ownership of the underlying content or intellectual-property rights.
