As a condition of being permitted to make appointments with acupuncture therapists through the service, VUIM Clinic clients agree to the following terms for all appointments booked on the service.
A. Acupuncture Booked Through the Service. VUIM Clinic clients understand that acupuncture therapists are highly trained, certified, and licensed (where applicable under relevant state law) and specialize in acupuncture therapy and other health and wellness techniques.
VUIM Clinic does not tolerate any requests deemed sexual or inappropriate in nature. Users reported for inappropriate behavior will be immediately removed from the service and banned from future use and future therapy. If an incident of inappropriate behavior happens during an appointment, that session will be ended early, the user will be charged the full amount for the acupuncture, and the user will not be refunded any payments previously made to VUIM Clinic.
VUIM Clinic clients agree that acupuncture is for physical wellness and is not a substitution for medical care.

D. Exclusive Booking Through VUIM Clinic. To receive pre-negotiated rates with acupuncture therapists, VUIM Clinic clients agree that once they have booked an appointment with an acupuncture therapist through the VUIM Clinic network, all subsequent appointments with that therapist will be made through VUIM Clinic, as long as the therapist is an active participant in the VUIM Clinic network, and the client keeps their account with VUIM Clinic in good standing.
E. Responsibility for Payment. You will be charged the fee following your receipt of acupuncture. You agree to pay all fees, regardless of whether you dispute the charge or the quality of the services. You acknowledge that acupuncture obtained through the service is not likely to be covered under your benefit plan, Medicare, Medicaid, or any private health insurance.
