Nature of the Service
The Service is a facilitated reading club in an educational and reflective group format (the “Service”).
The Service may include, without limitation, live online group sessions (including via Zoom), access to a members-only Telegram channel or similar online community space, reading materials, reflective prompts, worksheets, and related communications or resources made available by us.
The Service is a group-based educational and reflective offering. It is not psychotherapy, psychiatric care, medical care, diagnosis, crisis intervention, or emergency support, and it does not replace individual mental health treatment, medical treatment, or emergency services.
We do not guarantee any specific personal, psychological, educational, relational, or professional outcome from participation in the Service.
Paid Services
The purchase of the Services is permitted for: (i) any individual who is at least 18 years old and/or entities represented by authorized personnel with the authority to bind them to a contractual agreement; and (ii) holds a valid credit card issued by a recognized bank or other financial institution which we support; and (iii) authorizes us to charge your card for the total amount of the purchase, including applicable taxes.
When performing any online operation, you will be required to enter complete and correct information required and requested by us or the system, including first name, last name, full address, ID number, e-mail address and payment details.
Approval of the transaction by the credit card company issuing the card used to make the online booking is a prerequisite for approval of any online operation. In the event that the transaction is not approved by the financial organization, the transaction will not be valid and the order will be void and canceled.
We will not be responsible for any error made by you while entering information for the purpose of an online purchase, including personal identification information. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, we reserve the right to cancel any such booking.
In rare cases, possible mistakes in information about the Services on the website, including their prices, may result from human error or typos. In these cases you will not be able to benefit from the error and will be asked to purchase the service at the correct price. We may cancel or change any promotion at any time.
The prices do not include any additional or other expenses that may apply.
Applications, Acceptance, and Participation
Participation in the Service is subject to a prior application process. Submission of an application form does not guarantee acceptance into the Service and does not create any obligation on our part to accept an applicant or provide the Service.
Applications may be reviewed by the facilitators or organizers according to suitability, capacity, scheduling, community considerations, and other reasonable criteria determined by us. We may accept or decline any application at our discretion, subject to applicable law.
If an application is approved, payment instructions will be sent separately. No applicant shall be considered enrolled until payment has been received and confirmed, subject to any further onboarding steps communicated by us.
Trial Month and Continued Participation
The Service may begin with a trial month, as described on the website or in our communications. The trial month is intended as an introductory stage that allows participants to become familiar with the format, pace, and group environment. The trial month may be offered as a separate introductory purchase or as otherwise described in the specific offer communicated to the participant.
After the trial month, participants may be invited to continue in a longer membership or program period, including a six-month continuation period where applicable. The applicable price, structure, and timing of any continuation period will be communicated to approved participants.
Where a participant chooses not to continue after the trial month, access to future sessions, community spaces, and materials beyond the trial month may be discontinued.
Service Commencement
The Service shall be deemed to have commenced upon the earliest of the following:
• the participant’s first scheduled live group session
• the participant’s receipt of access to the members-only Telegram channel or other members-only online space
• the participant’s receipt of paid materials, member resources, or other benefits made available as part of the Service
Prices and Payment
Prices for the Service shall be as displayed on the website, communicated in writing, or sent directly to approved participants. All prices are subject to correction of obvious typographical or technical errors.
Payment is required only after an application has been approved and payment instructions have been sent. We may use third-party payment processors. By making payment, you confirm that you are authorized to use the chosen payment method.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, prices do not include third-party transfer fees, foreign exchange fees, bank charges, or other charges imposed by payment providers.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
Cancellation of services shall be governed by the provisions of the Israeli Consumer Protection Law, 1981 and the regulations enacted thereunder (the “Consumer Protection Law”).
Subject to the Consumer Protection Law, a customer may cancel a transaction within 14 days from the date of the transaction or from the date of receipt of the transaction details, whichever is later, provided that, where the service is scheduled for a specific date or period, the cancellation request is submitted no later than seven (7) business days prior to the scheduled commencement of the service, unless otherwise required by law.
The above 14-day cancellation period shall be extended to four (4) months in the case of a customer with a disability, a senior citizen, or a new immigrant (as such terms are defined under the Consumer Protection Law), provided that the relevant status was disclosed to us during the transaction or in subsequent correspondence.
Where a customer is entitled to cancel a transaction in accordance with the Consumer Protection Law or as otherwise agreed with us in writing, cancellation shall be effected by submitting a written cancellation notice to our email address: therapyhappybook@gmail.com
The cancellation notice must include the customer’s full name, identification number, and sufficient details of the service or transaction to be canceled.
In the event of a lawful cancellation, we may charge a cancellation fee of up to 5% of the transaction value or 100 NIS, whichever is lower, as permitted under the Consumer Protection Law, unless a refund without a cancellation fee is required by law.
