Client Agreement

I understand that my sessions are for the purpose of learning and that my progress comes from my participation. I understand that if I am currently under medical or psychological care, it is in my best interest to contact my medical doctor and/or psychological practitioner and inform them of my choice to use these sessions. I understand sessions are to enable me to better understand myself, my relationships with other people and my environment. The consultant will make observations and suggestions to me, supply information, teach introspection and communication skills and offer coaching on how to accomplish my personal and/or professional objectives. The consultant cannot and will not predict outcomes or make decisions for me. I assume full responsibility for my actions and inactions which relate to any sessions.

Client Release

I freely and voluntarily consent to undergoing sessions conducted by a THI staff member (“consultant"). I understand there are certain risks associated with these sessions, including but not limited to the following which I acknowledge the consultant hereby fully discloses: 1) sessions may bring to the conscious mind information and memories from the subconscious which may cause anxiety or strong feelings; 2) sessions may not be appropriate for those who have mental health disorders or are under the care of a mental health professional. I accept any and all risks for any adverse reaction I may have. I forever release Transpersonal Hypnotherapy Institute, Inc., Anne Salisbury, Greg Meyerhoff and any of their directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, sponsors, contractors, successors or assigns (collectively referred to as “THI”) from any and all claims for liability and damages of any kind whatsoever which I may at any time have, including without limitation personal injury, emotional distress and negligence (excluding only willful misconduct). I expressly waive all claims for indirect, consequential or exemplary damages. In no event shall I be entitled to recover more than the aggregate amount paid by me to THI. I will indemnify and hold THI harmless for any damages, including attorneys' fees, arising from my breach of the terms of this release. I have read and understand the contents of this release, I am 18 years of age or older and I execute this release of my own free will and without undue influence.

School Policies

To receive your certification(s), complete each course successfully and abide by school policies. THI (Transpersonal Hypnotherapy Institute, Inc.) Policies are deemed an attachment to THI Forms. Your payment or signature on any THI Form signifies that you read, understand and agree to the THI Policies.

Tuition, Prices & Shipping

Course tuition (which includes materials cost) and Additional Products prices are listed in the "Enrollment & Order Form." After reviewing and approving your application and order, and after checks and credit cards have cleared, THI will mail you your materials. To locations within the US, items are shipped UPS ground or through USPO mail and generally take 7-10 business days for delivery. To locations outside the US, items are shipped through USPO Global Express or FedEx, as available, and generally take 7-10 business days to reach customs; exact postage and insurance plus $5 handling fee is charged at the time of shipment; items are insured at 1/4 of tuition for customs purposes; foreign duties and taxes are paid by recipient. If you prefer faster delivery to any location, that is always available upon request at the additional applicable fee.

A $20 fee is assessed on all returned checks; and if any payment is not able to be cashed or credited this may also result in immediate dismissal at THI's sole discretion.

Risk-Free Enrollment & Ordering

You have 3 days from your signature date on the "Enrollment & Order Form" to cancel the agreement in writing (via fax or e-mail to THI) and receive a full refund. After you receive the course materials or products, you have another 3 days to review them. If you are not completely satisfied, you may return them in their original condition for a full refund, paying only for shipping. Call for approval on a return. After this time no refunds on course materials or products can be considered. Mechanically defective items, however, will gladly be exchanged for the same item upon receipt of the damaged items within 30 days of original receipt.

Withdrawal Refund Policy

After the 3-day review period of the received home study course materials, tuition will only be refunded as follows. Refunds are prorated based on the application signature date, the date stamp of the request to withdraw, and the length of the course (6 months for "Transpersonal Hypnotherapy" and Clinical Hypnotherapist packages of courses; 3 months for all other home study courses). The maximum refund will be the tuition paid less the materials cost (50% of tuition) and less a cancellation charge ($150 or 25% of tuition less materials, whichever is less). The refund is calculated as a percentage tuition less materials: within the first 10% of the course the refund is 90%; between 10% and less than 25% the refund is 75%; between 25% and less than 50% the refund is 50%; between 50% and less than 75% the refund is 25%; after 75% completion of the course the student is responsible for 100%. Refunds are mailed within 30 days after the request to withdraw. The policy for granting credit for previous training does not impact the refund policy.

Time Payments for “Transpersonal Hypnotherapy” Core Course

You agree to the following: a $100 processing fee plus 1/5 tuition will be paid at the time of enrollment. No interest is charged. THI will automatically charge your credit card or accept payment for the remaining 4/5 in 4 equal installments the first of each month following your enrollment. THI has the right to hold your credit card for security. If any one payment is not received and/or able to be cashed within 10 days after the due date the full amount becomes due and payable immediately and this also may result in immediate dismissal and therefore the non-issuance of certification at the sole discretion of THI. Certificates are issued only after all payments are received in full and in a timely manner.

Advanced Standing Credit for Previous Study

If you are a graduate from another school and would like to advance your certification with THI, submit proof of prior studies such as previous certificates, transcripts or signed letters documenting the hours, material covered, dates and instructors' names. A THI staff member will need to approve your previous training hours. At the discretion of the THI Administration, prior training and/or experience may allow you to enter with credits and advance your certification with THI.

Prerequisites for Enrollment

A high school diploma, GED or equivalent, emotional maturity, high principles and a responsible attitude are required for enrollment. Prospective students may discuss personal, educational and occupational plans with THI staff prior to enrolling.

Enrollments Accepted

Enrollments are accepted year round based on the home study format. After completing the Enrollment Form, return it with your tuition. Upon acceptance we will forward the course material to you. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, age, religious preference, national origin or marital status.

Non-Acceptance & Discontinuance

If THI does not accept your enrollment, your paid tuition (which includes materials cost) will be refunded in full. If THI discontinues educational services during your enrollment period (6 months for "Transpersonal Hypnotherapy" and 3 months for other courses) and you have not yet completed the course, you will be refunded your tuition less the cost of materials. The cost of materials is 50% of the course tuition.

Attendance Requirements

All course assignments are to be received by THI in a timely manner (within 6 months from the date of enrollment in "Transpersonal Hypnotherapy" and within 3 months for all other home study courses). If you are unable to complete assignments within the stated time-frame, notify THI by e-mail, fax or letter of your desire for an extension. If THI finds your request to be satisfactory, it may grant a 30 day probationary period for you to complete the course assignments. Further extensions are at the sole discretion of THI.

Progress Requirements

THI's feedback system is designed to build self-confidence and competence. Exams (open-book) and student materials are graded under the Director's supervision. "Transpersonal Hypnotherapy" students must obtain a passing score of 75% to receive certification with THI. Students who fail to pass the exam may request to retake it one time. THI will then mail you a second exam which needs to be received by THI before the course assignment due date (or probationary due date if applicable). All other courses are graded pass/fail. After passing, your certificate (which is also notification of a passing grade) will be mailed to you.

Private Tutoring

In any course, if you have difficulty, you may request tutoring at an additional cost at current rates.

Materials

Materials turned into THI become the property of THI. Please retain copies for your files if you would like them.

Transferability of Credits

Transferability of THI credits to any other educational institution is not guaranteed since that is up to the receiving institution.

Placement Assistance

THI does not promise or provide placement assistance to graduates; however, we will send a statement of your training, including CEU's, to a person, school or organization of your choice at standard rates. THI maintains school and student records for no more than 6 years, according to state law.

Career Opportunities

THI does not make claims regarding future income since throughout the country the need for hypnotherapists varies. Those with good therapeutic and self-promotion skills usually have as much work as they target for themselves over a reasonable amount of time. Jobs in this area are generally self-created as small businesses; some choose to affiliate with health practitioners. As hypnotherapy becomes more accepted, more people will seek hypnotherapists. Income varies by region and time on the job and are established by the individual. Success in the field requires initiative.

Conduct & Dismissal

Participants are expected to conduct themselves professionally. This includes, but is not limited to, complying with THI policies and paying tuition in full. Failure to do so is cause for dismissal. Other causes for dismissal include, but are not limited to, any behavior which might jeopardize THI or its reputation; cheating; theft; verbal or physical abuse of any member of the THI community; breach of privacy or confidentiality. If a participant is dismissed, re-entrance into the program will be at the sole discretion of THI.

Grievance Procedure

If you have a concern, please speak with the THI director as soon as possible. If you feel it needs more resolution, submit your concerns in writing to the address listed herein. We will investigate your concern further, attempt to resolve it and notify you of THI's position on the situation within 30 days. If you wish to appeal this decision, you may make a written request for arbitration to be held in Golden, Colorado, by a mutually agreed upon party. If circumstances preclude your ability to participate in an arbitration hearing, or if your complaint can not be resolved through arbitration, you may request a complaint form at 303-866-2723 and file a notarized complaint at highered.colorado.gov/dpos with the Colorado Department of Higher Education, Division of Private Occupational Schools no later than two years after the date you discontinued training.

In general, THI will not disclose information from student records without written consent of that student (which must include the information to be disclosed, the purpose for the disclosure, and the full name and address to which the disclosure is to be made). THI will, however, disclose information, without written consent, to: (1) Students or former students who wish to inspect and review their own records, upon receipt of written request.
