terms & conditions

 

Alas, there is ‘fine print’. The following information includes a list of disclaimers, terms and conditions designed to support our encounter; ensuring that we share a mutually respectful and safe time together.

GENERAL TERMS

It is your responsibility to read my website prior to making an appointment. This ensures that all details are understood, and that you have been given adequate means to clarify any uncertainties. Upon booking, it is assumed that you have read and agreed with the content and terms displayed throughout this website.

Unfortunately, I will be unable to provide refunds to clients who fail to arrive to bookings or choose to terminate appointments early. By setting time aside for our booking I have foregone other work and responsibilities and have paid an assistant, so need to be appropriately compensated for that time.

DEPOSITS

All clients are required to supply a deposit of $300 to secure our time together. Please note that this is non-refundable and must be paid at least 24 hours prior to our appointment. Larger deposits or pre-payments are acceptable but are also non-refundable (see below). I use a variety of discreet methods to arrange deposits, and am happy to discuss them with you.

Deposits compensate my assistant and I for the time spent navigating the booking process, including reserving the time for you, booking accommodation, paying Grace’s wages, and arranging transport to and from our encounter. Should a client cancel their booking or fail to arrive for their appointment*, the initial deposit is treated as a cancellation fee.

*Bookings and their deposits are deemed forfeit if clients fail to appear at the designated meeting point within 20 minutes of the starting time, with no prior communication.

PRE-PAYMENTS

Some clients may wish to settle or reduce their balance in advance of their booking date. While this is welcome (if not preferred), please note that such deposits are not refundable. This is because my accounting software automates tax, super, and HECS/HELP debt repayments before your funds are delivered to my bank account, and I cannot reclaim them from the ATO.

Should you wish to reschedule, your deposit or pre-payment may be transferred once to a mutually beneficial time within 30 days for local clients or to the next possible touring date for interstate / international clients, provided that at least 48 hours notice is given.

If you need to reschedule multiple times, a fee of $50 is required for bookings shorter than 4 hours. $100 is required to reschedule bookings of 4 hours or longer. These fees will be paid directly to my assistant, Grace.

Should I need to cancel bookings, I will happily refund deposits in their entirety if rescheduling is impossible.

COMMUNICATION

My assistant, Grace, and I will always do our best to create the perfect booking setting within the goals you specify. Therefore, I expect that all communication is polite and respectful. This is not an opportunity to speak inappropriately, and we will not respond to crass or aggressive messages.

DISCRETION

Discretion is of the utmost importance for both you and me, so I will be treating any personal information you provide with extreme sensitivity. As such, my booking assistant has signed a non-disclosure agreement to ensure that your personal details are protected.

I take deposits from my clients via a discreetly-named business bank account. If you were to supply an EFT, my consultancy business name will show on your account statement. I can also provide you with an invoice if required. If you would like to pay via a method that does not appear on your statement, please get in touch.

I welcome public displays of affection, but will always ask before initiating. For our discretion, I am also never dressed overtly, and opt for smart casual or corporate attire during our engagement with something lovely underneath. Please feel free to make outfit suggestions, but know that I will not be arriving wearing anything risqué.

PREPARATION

It often happens that some extra preparation is required on my part to prepare for our time together, which incurs an extra fee (e.g., for Greek). Unfortunately I will be unable to refund this if we do not explore those options.

BREAKFAST, LUNCH, OR DINNER BOOKINGS

To maintain our energy levels, clients are expected to provide food during longer bookings (e.g., 4 hours, 6 hours, overnight, etc). However, there is never an expectation to dine somewhere expensive. Historically, I have enjoyed all sorts of food with my clients, from McDonald’s cheeseburgers (no pickles, please!) to degustation menus. The room service ‘bed picnic’ is a wonderful option for the discreet client.

OVERNIGHT BOOKINGS

Overnight bookings are flexible in length; between 12-15 hours, featuring at least 6 hours of sleep. It is imperative that I am respected at all times, though particularly during sleep where I cannot consent to any client whims, needs or sexual desires. Please contact me to discuss this in advance, if this requires clarification.

FLY ME TO YOU BOOKINGS

For these bookings to be confirmed, I require a deposit to be made at least 72 hours in advance of the desired booking date. Deposits comprise the balance of day-use hotel fees and return airfares to and from your location, which I will require to purchase the airline tickets in order to travel to you. These bookings cannot go ahead without this deposit. I do not provide ‘Fly Me to You’ bookings to new clients.

SUBSTANCE USE & ‘PARTY BOOKINGS’

Please know that I am a non-smoker, and do not consume recreational drugs. If this is something that you would like to share together, I may not be the companion for you.

LATE BOOKINGS

Also referred to as ‘Nana Grey’s Law’. Any bookings that start or finish after 10pm will attract an additional fee of $100 per hour until the booking is completed. This also applies to bookings that begin before 10pm.

SUNDAY BOOKINGS

To ensure a healthy work/life/study balance, I have opted not to be available on Sundays. Bookings that cannot be scheduled for alternate dates will accrue an additional 10% of the booking fee*.

*This surcharge does not apply to bookings made while touring, which typically span weekends.

BOOKING TERMINATION

Behaviour that I deem disrespectful, harmful or illegal will result in my immediate termination of our booking without refund, and possible involvement of the police. These behaviours can be defined below:

  1. Intentional unsafe practices, such as wilful endangerment or neglect for my personal safety. In a sexual context, for example, this can be defined as ‘condom tampering’, where condoms have been broken or removed without consent. This behaviour constitutes sexual assault.

  2. Filming without consent. In Australia, it is a crime to film or photograph another individual without their consent.

  3. Consent violations place me in a position where I feel at risk of endangering my personal safety. If my explicit consent is challenged or violated in any way, our booking will be terminated without a refund.

  4. Failure to pay or to pay the required amount will result in immediate termination of the booking. I may provide an alternative booking duration to accommodate the funds you have provided, but will not do so under duress.

  5. If I have refused to meet you in the past, but you attempt to spend time together under an alias or hidden identity. This behaviour constitutes sexual assault, and will result in police involvement.

  6. If recreational drugs of any kind are produced or consumed during our time together. Recreational drugs can have significant effects on the mental state, and can lead to reductions in focus, clarity and mood, which can impact a person’s ability to consent. They may also produce aggressive moods, which I do not feel safe entertaining.
