Limitation of Liability
The Grey Couch does not guarantee that you will be accepted as a registered user at The Grey Couch, or as a client by the Psychologist on our platform. The Grey Couch reserves the right to terminate your registration with our platform at any time without citing a reason.
The Grey Couch is a technology enabler that connects the user and the Psychological Wellness Professional. Further, the professional Service is dependent on the information provided by the user to the Psychological Wellness Professional and The Grey Couch does not promise any outcomes based on counselling and therapy. The Grey Couch does not guarantee the availability of the same Psychological Wellness Professional over any period of time. From the moment at which you book your appointment, The Grey Couch acts solely as an intermediary between you and the Wellness Professional, transmitting the details of your booking to you and to the Wellness Professional.
Counselling will take place at a frequency agreed between you and your Psychological Wellness Professional. We cannot guarantee that sessions will always take place with a particular frequency or on the same day of the week but will make every effort to meet your requirements.
Over the course of your agreement, the Wellness Professional might determine that online counselling Services are not appropriate for some or all of your treatment needs and accordingly may elect to not provide online counselling Services to you. Similarly, the Wellness Professional shall be at the liberty to decide that additional help is needed for the user and shall choose to bring in an additional Wellness Professional.
The Grey Couch makes all efforts to verify the credentials of every Psychological Wellness Professional registered with it. However, The Grey Couch is not responsible for any misrepresentation/fraudulent credentials or claims by the Psychological Wellness Professionals. The Grey Couch provides a profile page to all Psychological Wellness Professionals where information regarding education, training, experience, specialities can be provided to the user. It is the responsibility of the Psychological Wellness Professional to ensure the accuracy and reliability of such information provided.
All Psychological Wellness Professionals have a contractual relationship with The Grey Couch and are allowed to use our platform and technology to provide Services to you. The Grey Couch does not assume any responsibility for their actions, advice or any other information provided through our platform or otherwise. The Grey Couch shall not be held liable for any damage/ loss/ liability caused to the user by a Psychological Wellness Professional, either directly or indirectly. The user is responsible for all their decisions and actions and agrees that they are made independent of any representations by The Grey Couch or the Psychological Wellness Professionals. The Grey Couch or the Wellness Professional cannot be held responsible for such decisions and actions or any outcomes as a result.
The Grey Couch does not endorse or influence control over any particular branch of medicine, theory, opinion, viewpoint or position on any topic. No warranty, guarantee, or conditions of any kind are created or offered on information or advice or suggestion, whether expressed and/ or implied, in oral and/ or written via any communication medium, obtained by you from The Grey Couch or through any Service and/ or resource and/ or information that The Grey Couch provides, except for those expressly outlined in this User Agreement.
