As a registered psychologist, it is important to me that my products are marketed responsibly. This means abiding by the following principles in all circumstances:

  1. Customers are given informed choice, in that they have enough information before the sale, to accurately decide whether the product is suitable for them.
  2. Customers are not given false, or misleading information.
  3. Indiscriminate use of products are not encouraged. I.e. customers are only encouraged to buy products that fit their needs.
  4. Any discount offers are always accompanied by their terms and conditions.

I trust you to uphold these principles through your marketing. Please read on for specific conditions.
