Terms of Service
Last updated: February 2024

Introduction
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Ascension Massage Therapy website and services. By using our website or booking an appointment, you agree to these Terms.
Please read these Terms carefully before using our services.
Services
Ascension Massage Therapy provides professional massage therapy services. All treatments are provided by qualified and insured practitioners.
The specific details of each treatment, including duration and price, are listed on our Services page and are subject to change.
Booking and Appointments
• Appointments can be booked online through our website or by contacting us directly.
• A booking confirmation will be sent to your email address.
• Please arrive on time for your appointment. Late arrivals may result in shortened treatment time.
• We reserve the right to refuse service if a client arrives significantly late.
• Bookings made through our AI assistant or chatbot are subject to confirmation by our practitioner. We will contact you if a slot is no longer available.
AI Assistant & Call Recording
When you contact Ascension Massage Therapy by phone, SMS, or website chat, your interaction may be handled by an automated AI assistant called "Ava" instead of a person. Ava can answer questions, take messages, and help with bookings.
Calls to our number are recorded so that Ava can converse with you, so we can take voicemails when no one is available, and for service-quality and training purposes. Recording is disclosed at the start of every call. You may ask to speak to a real person at any time and the call will be transferred or you can leave a message.
Ava is not a substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare professional. Information Ava provides about services, prices, or general wellness topics is given on a best-efforts basis only. For anything clinical, please book a consultation with our practitioner.
Full details of how AI conversations and recordings are processed (including the third-party providers involved) are set out in our Privacy Policy.
