Key Terms
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in these Payment Terms.
Payment Processor(s) and Payment Service Provider(s) are payment service providers that offer payment services to Users and Wellness Providers in connection with the Amberfied Platform. These services include the collection of funds from Users for purchases, remittance, withdrawal of funds to Wellness Providers and the holding of funds in connection with Amberfied balances.
Revenue refers to the total amount generated by a Wellness Provider from completed services and their appointments. Revenues can be withdrawn subject to these Payment Terms.
Partial Payments means Amberfield uses a progressive payment distribution system for Revenue and payouts. With this system, a portion of the total service package amount, after deducting the platform’s administrative fee, is added to the Wellness Provider’s Revenue after each session is completed. This amount then becomes available for withdrawal according to these Payment Terms.
User and you refer to those who register on the Site or App to purchase and/or receive wellness services, this also includes Wellness Providers / Third Party Providers.
Third Party Providers and Wellness Providers means independent self-employed individuals, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who offer their Services for sale on the Amberfied Platform.

Amberfield will apply Partial Payments when a User purchases a Service Package containing more than one appointment. The earnings for each completed appointment are added to the Wellness Provider’s Amberfield Revenue balance.
1.3. Amberfield employs a Milestone tier system for payouts, where Wellness Providers can receive from 95% to 85%, depending on the Milestone achieved. Under this system, Wellness Providers’ earnings are calculated based on their total Revenue available for withdrawal. This means, the higher the Revenues, the greater the share of earnings for Wellness Providers.
1.2. Wellness Providers have the option to receive Revenues either through scheduled Payouts at the end of every month or using Flex Pay that allows to disburse earnings faster.

1.6. If Amberfield needs to process a refund for any reason, the paid funds will be returned to the User’s account, and Amberfield will conduct an investigation.

Wellness Providers are responsible for paying any direct or indirect taxes, including income tax, which may apply to them depending on residency, location or otherwise, under provisions of their jurisdiction.

Rebooking, Cancellations and Refund
Amberfield allows Users to update service bookings during the free cancellation policy period set by each Wellness Provider. We also encourage Users and Wellness Providers to attempt to resolve conflicts amongst themselves. If these efforts fail, or if you encounter non-permitted usage on the Platform, please contact Amberfield’s Customer Support for assistance at info@amberfied.com
1. BASICS
1.1. Users are permitted to rebook services or appointments, provided such requests do not violate the free cancellation policy established by the Wellness Provider with whom the service was booked.
1.2. Attempting to rebook within a timeframe shorter than specified by the Wellness Provider’s free cancellation policy will result in forfeiture of the service appointment.
1.3. Please be aware that we do not issue refunds for attempts to rebook after the free cancellation policy period.

3. CANCELLATIONS AND NO SHOW
3.1. Completed sessions (or, where applicable, service packages) may be eligible for refunds upon review by our Customer Support team if reported no later than 24 hours after the completion of the first appointment in the service package. Please note that services cannot be partially cancelled, and Users cannot request refunds for individual sessions within a service package. Only the entire service package can be cancelled if reported after the first session and deemed justified.
3.2. In rare circumstances, Amberfied may choose to cancel a session (or, where applicable, service packages) even after 24 hours have passed since its completion. In such cases, any amounts paid for the canceled service will be returned to the User’s account and deducted from the Wellness Provider’s Revenue balance. If the Wellness Provider’s Revenue balance has insufficient funds, the deduction will be made from their future Revenues.

However, you may rate your experience with the Wellness Provider after the service completion, including the overall level of service quality received.

In the event that a User books a session, fails to make any changes before the free cancellation policy period expires, and does not show up for the session, the User will not be eligible for any refunds, and the value of that session will be added to the relevant Wellness Provider’s Revenue balance.
3.5. Please contact your Wellness Provider using the Amberfied in-app messenger to address any concerns and seek resolution regarding the service provided before reaching out to Customer Support. Customer Support will not take any action against a Service if the User has not informed their Wellness Provider of service-related issues and will allow the Wellness Provider to provide a resolution first. This does not apply to instances of non-permitted usage of Amberfied.
3.6. Eligibility for cancelling a Service with Amberfied will be assessed based on several factors, including violations of our Terms of Service and/or Community Guidelines and improper usage of the Amberfied delivery system. Amberfied may cancel a service order for reasons including, but not limited to, the following:
- The Wellness Provider fails to appear for an appointment/session.
- Users engage in abusive behavior towards the other party, including threats of low ratings and negative comments.
- The User’s Amberfied account is inactive due to violations of our Terms of Service or closure.
- The service provided by a Wellness Provider does not align with the service described on the Amberfied Platform. Note: any discrepancies will be assessed by our Customer Support team.
- Any non-permitted usage of Amberfied encountered during a Service appointment may lead to the order being cancelled, as reviewed by our Customer Support team. This includes, but is not limited to, harassment, unlawful behaviour, or other violations of Amberfied’s Terms of Service.
- Misconduct, unprofessional behaviour, or violations of our Community Guidelines by a Wellness Provider or a User.
- User breaches of Payment Terms or fraudulent activity.
- Technical issues or platform errors that prevent the completion of a service.
- Violations of specific rules or regulations governing the type of service being offered.
In most cases, we will strive to validate the User’s reported concern with the Wellness Provider. Wellness Providers also have the option to dispute the User’s assertion of a service-related issue by contacting us directly. Such reports are documented and repeated violations may result in either party permanently losing access to the Amberfied Platform.
4. CHARGEBACKS
Amberfied reviews cases of payment provider chargebacks and disputes on behalf of Wellness Providers. Although results vary per case due to each chargeback reason, we work hard on resolving disputes in the Wellness Provider’s favour. If the chargeback case allows, Amberfied’s Payment Services Provider will return parts or full Revenue back to Wellness Provider, otherwise the chargeback amount will be borne by the Wellness Provider.
5. REFUNDS
5.1. To request a refund, the User who made the booking must contact us no later than 24 hours after the first session completion if they discover issues related to a Wellness Provider or the services they booked. Such requests should be submitted only if the discovered issues breach our Terms of Service or Community Guidelines.
5.2. Amberfied does not automatically refund payments made for cancelled services back to your payment provider. Funds from service cancellations are returned to the User’s payment provider after Amberfied has investigated the case and deemed it justified.
5.3. To request a refund directly to your payment provider, please contact Customer Support. To prevent fraud and abuse, users are allowed to request refunds up to 2 times, subject to review by our Customer Support team. After 2 refund requests, an account may be permanently deactivated from the Amberfield platform. Refunds will be processed based on your payment method(s) and will be issued in GBP (£).
5.4. Wellness Providers may offer a partial refund for a service purchased by a User. If the User accepts the partial refund, the refunded amount will be returned to the User’s payment method. The partial refund, along with any additional transaction fees, will be deducted from the Wellness Provider’s Revenue balance. To prevent fraud and abuse, Wellness Providers are allowed to offer a partial refund up to two times, subject to review by our Customer Support team. After two partial refund requests, the Wellness Provider’s account may be permanently deactivated from the Amberfied platform.
