  • Always Fysio advises the Client based on the information that the Client provides.
  • Always Fysio reserves the right to refuse the provision of the Service should it appear in its opinion that it would be irresponsible to do otherwise.
  • A Client can always order a Service from Always Fysio if he/she is 18 years or older. Express written permission from a parent or guardian is required for a Client younger than 18 years.
  • Due to the fact that the Service is provided via the internet, the Client him/herself is responsible for the timely provision of the necessary facilities such as the selection, acquisition, installation and configuration of suitable telecommunication provisions, software and programming (such as obligatory browsers), equipment and infrastructure in order to make use of the Service. Always Fysio is not responsible for the costs which such facilities bring with them, such as purchase, use and data consumption.

The client shall be liable for the costs of any debt collection should Always Fysio instruct them and these costs will be calculated in accordance with the legislation regarding debt collection costs. Should the Client be in default with regards to any payment, Always Fysio has the right to stop (the performance of), or dissolve, the Agreement and any other related agreements.

  • Always Fysio cannot guarantee that the Client will benefit from the provision of the Service. Always Fysio’s treatment is not intended to replace normal medical or para medical care.

  1. Communication
    • The Client and Always Fysio expressly agree that a valid Agreement comes into being by making use of electronic forms of communication.

Always Fysio’s electronic files shall, insofar as the law permits, be regarded as a presupposition of proof.
    • Always Fysio shall not be liable for misunderstandings, distortions, delays or the incomplete receipt of orders or messages as a consequence of the use of the internet or any other means of communication between the Client and Always Fysio, or between Always Fysio and other parties insofar as they are relevant in the relationship between the Client and Always Fysio, unless there is an issue of intent or gross negligence on the part of Always Fysio.

The Client shall be informed in writing in such a case. Always Fysio shall not be obliged to pay any compensation should this situation arise unless it is unacceptable by normal standards of reasonableness and fairness.
  • As well as what it means in law and jurisprudence, the term force majeure in these Terms and Condition means all foreseen or unforeseen external circumstances and causes over which Always Fysio has no power and which prevent Always Fysio from fulfilling its obligations.

  • Parties may suspend the obligations arising out of the Terms and Conditions during the period of the force majeure. Either of the parties shall have the right to dissolve this Agreement without any obligation to compensate the other, should the period last for more than two months.
  • Always Fysio has the right to invoice separately for the obligations in the Terms and Conditions that it has, or shall, fulfill during the period of force majeure if those fulfilled obligations have value in themselves. The Client is obliged to pay this invoice as if it were as a consequence of a separate agreement.
