Effective Date: 5/28/26

Welcome to Quad Cities Hypnosis! These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) explain how our online hypnosis services work and what you can expect from us—and what we expect from you. By booking a session, using our website to make a purchase, joining a session, or otherwise using our services, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree to any part of these Terms, please do not book or participate in our services.

1. What We Offer

Quad Cities Hypnosis provides online hypnosis sessions for personal development, relaxation, stress relief, habit change, confidence, and other self-improvement goals. Our services are coaching and personal development in nature, and provide a wonderful space for mind-body integration, and are not medical or mental health diagnosis or treatment.

All sessions are conducted online, typically via Zoom, unless we agree otherwise in writing.

2. Not Therapy, Medical, or Psychological Care

Our services are not:

• Psychotherapy
• Counseling
• Psychological or psychiatric care
• Medical diagnosis or treatment
• A substitute for professional medical or mental health care

We do not diagnose, treat, or cure any medical or mental health condition. If you are dealing with a medical or mental health concern, you should seek help from a licensed healthcare or mental health professional.

If you are in crisis or experiencing an emergency, please contact your local emergency number (911) or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Our services are not for emergency use.

3. No Guarantees or Promises of Specific Results

Every person’s experience with hypnosis is unique. While we can reference past experiences and results when recommending how to pace a package or program, we do not guarantee specific results, outcomes, or timeframes. Your experience depends on many factors, including your readiness, openness, participation, and personal circumstances.

We provide professional, high-quality support, but we make no promises about what will happen as a result of our services.

Some smoking cessation programs come with a service guarantee, which means that the package pricing includes some element of situational support.

4. Who Can Use Our Services

By booking a session, you confirm that:

• You are at least 18 years old, or you have permission from a parent or legal guardian if applicable.
• You are physically and mentally able to participate in hypnosis.
• You will not attend a session under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• You will provide honest and accurate information about any relevant medical, psychological, or physical concerns.

If you have a history of seizures, psychosis, dissociation, or another condition that could make hypnosis inappropriate, please consult a licensed healthcare provider before participating.

5. Sessions Are Held Over Zoom

Unless we agree otherwise in writing, all sessions will take place over Zoom.

You are responsible for:

• Having a stable internet connection
• Joining from a private, quiet, and safe space
• Ensuring your device, camera, microphone, and Zoom software work properly

We are not responsible for interruptions or disruptions caused by your internet connection, device issues, or other technical problems outside our control.

6. Session Recording (Default On, Your Choice Matters)

By default, sessions will be recorded by Quad Cities Hypnosis.

• At the beginning of each session, we will ask for your verbal consent before recording begins.
• You have the right to refuse recording. If you do not consent, we will not record your session.
• If you consent to recording, the recording is used for our business purposes, recordkeeping, quality assurance, and client support.

You may not:

• Record, copy, screenshot, or distribute our session recordings
• Share recordings with others
• Use recordings for any purpose beyond your personal use

All recordings are handled confidentially and stored securely, to the extent reasonably possible.

7. AI Transcription Disclosure

To support accurate note-taking and better service, we may use secure AI transcription technology to transcribe session recordings.

• If AI transcription is used, your session will be transcribed by an AI tool after the session.
• The transcript is used only for:
  • Session notes and recordkeeping
  • Internal quality and support purposes
• The transcript is:
  • Stored securely and confidentially
  • Not used to train AI models
  • Not shared with external parties, except as required by law

You may opt out of AI transcription at any time. Simply let us know before your session begins, and we will disable AI transcription for your sessions.

By using our services, you acknowledge that:

• You have been informed about the possible use of AI transcription
• You understand the purpose of AI transcription
• You may request to opt out before your session

(Note: Illinois law requires informed consent when AI is used to record or transcribe therapy-related sessions. While our services are not therapy, we still provide this transparency and consent option.)
