Intellectual Property
All content on this website (texts, structure, branding, visuals, and logo) is protected under intellectual property laws.
Liability
Users are fully responsible for how they interpret and apply the information provided. Aroma Compass cannot be held liable for misuse or outcomes resulting from the use of this content.
Terms & Conditions
Educational Use
This platform is dedicated to aromatherapy education, formulation learning, and botanical exploration. Content is informational only.
No Medical Advice
Aroma Compass does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment. Professional healthcare advice should always be sought when necessary.
The Consultation Service
Aroma Compass offers a free discovery call and a paid in-depth aromatic consultation (currently €60, subject to change for future bookings). The consultation is a personalized aromatic and olfactory accompaniment session; it is educational and wellness-oriented, not a medical, psychological, or therapeutic act, and does not replace diagnosis or care by a qualified health professional. By paying for and/or booking a session, you accept these Terms & Conditions and the Privacy Policy, and you agree to the booking, payment, and cancellation terms set out in the Booking & Cancellation Policy section below, which forms an integral part of this contract.
Contract Formation
The contract for the in-depth consultation is formed once payment is completed via Stripe and/or a time slot is confirmed via Calendly, whichever applies to your booking path. Prices are displayed in euros and may include applicable taxes where relevant; any price change applies only to bookings made after the change takes effect.
Responsibility
Users remain responsible for any use of formulations, recommendations, or educational material provided on the platform, and for accurately disclosing any relevant health information (e.g. allergies, pregnancy, medical conditions) before a consultation.
Content Changes
Content may be updated, modified, or removed at any time without notice.
Limitation of Liability
Aroma Compass cannot be held responsible for damages, reactions, or misuse of the information, formulations, or recommendations provided, including during or after a paid consultation.
Jurisdiction
French law applies to the use of this website and to the consultation service. In the event of a dispute, the parties will seek an amicable solution before any legal action before the competent French courts.
Booking & Cancellation Policy
Booking & Payment
The free discovery call is booked via Meetergo. The in-depth consultation (€60) is booked via Calendly and paid via Stripe, either after the discovery call or directly. A booking is confirmed once the time slot is validated.
14-Day Right of Withdrawal
Under French law, consumers ordinarily have a 14-day right of withdrawal (droit de rétractation) for services purchased online. Because consultations are typically scheduled and performed before this period ends, by booking a date you expressly request that the service be performed before the withdrawal period expires, and you acknowledge that your right of withdrawal will no longer apply once the consultation has been fully performed.
Cancellation & Rescheduling
Cancellations or rescheduling requests must be made at least 24 hours before the appointment, directly via the link in your Calendly confirmation email. Beyond this deadline, the session is considered due and is not refundable.
Late Arrival & No-Show
In case of late arrival, the session duration may be shortened so as not to affect the following appointments. An unnotified absence is considered as the session having taken place.
Payment Without a Scheduled Session
If payment is made without a session being scheduled within 30 days, Aroma Compass will reach out to arrange a date. Beyond a reasonable additional delay without response, the booking may be extended, rescheduled, or refunded at Aroma Compass's discretion.
Follow-up
Some consultations include a post-session follow-up to observe progress and adjust recommendations if needed. This follow-up is offered, not mandatory, as part of a progressive accompaniment.
