5.4. Consumer Rights Note

For services booked online, the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal under EU law may apply. However, this right is legally exempt for services scheduled to be provided on a specific date or within a specific period. As all our services fall under this category, the 14-day withdrawal period does not apply once a booking for a specific date is confirmed.

Participation in Services is at the Client's own risk. The Client remains responsible for their own health and well-being.

The advice provided by Touching Life is for educational and support purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice from a qualified healthcare provider.

6.3. Disclaimer for Doula Services

When providing birth support, Anastasia Psaropoulou acts as a doula, not a medical professional. She does not perform clinical tasks (e.g., measuring blood pressure, fetal heart rates, vaginal exams). Her role is to provide physical comfort, emotional support, and facilitate communication.

6.4. Liability

Touching Life's liability for any direct damages is limited to the total amount paid by the Client for the relevant Service. We are not liable for any indirect or consequential damages.

7. Intellectual Property

All course materials, whether in print or digital format, remain the intellectual property of Touching Life. Clients may not reproduce, distribute, or share these materials with third parties without prior written consent.

8. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by Dutch law. Any disputes shall be submitted to the competent court in The Netherlands.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
