Terms and Conditions
Terms and Conditions
Disclaimer/Contraindications (for other Terms and Conditions, see below this Disclaimer)
Before you can start learning The Aches Away & Energize Health Program, please read.
The first 8 items on this page are my Terms and Conditions. The rest is what the Lawyers wrote up, so some may be duplicated.
If you are exhausted or have foggy thinking, you might want to get a family member or friend to read the lawyer speak. I prefer you to read my T & C's.
If you do not agree with anything below please contact Suzanne before you have your first appointment with Suzanne
a) I confirm I do NOT have the following: (if I do or am diagnosed with these in the future - I will let Suzanne know immediately and stop doing the exercises):
- Heart Failure
- Thrombosis (blood clot)
- Aneurysm (arterial walls expanded and can easily break apart)
- Psychosis or any psychiatric disease (this does NOT include depression which often occurs with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue)
b) I will tell my Instructor before booking the class/session if I have any of the following conditions below. I can still do the technique and agree that I must practice the technique in a slightly different way, and I agree to do so as instructed.
- Heart disease
- Arrhythmia (heart beat is not regular)
- Epilepsy
- Cancer
- Severe illness of any kind that I have not told Suzanne about already
- Very high Hypertension (very high blood pressure)
- Severe malaise (severe depression, severe anxiety)
I understand:
1. Although the exercises/movements are lying down and are very gentle, I will be working muscles that have not been exercised much in the past. I understand that if on the rare occasion I start to get discomfort, cramping or dizzy during or after doing the exercises I will tell my Instructor and the next time I do them I will move more slowly and/or move with less exertion/less distance or angle. I will continue doing less until my body has got used to the movement and will increase the intensity slowly until my body can cope with it. I will contact my Instructor if I have problems before giving up on the exercises so we can sort.
I understand if I have old injury problems that the Pain Neutralization Technique that Suzanne does can help this. I will ask her about it if I need it.
You confirm you are 18 years of age or over (if not, please email me to sort something out).
You give your permission for us to have consultations with you online and to learn the self help technique so you can do this at home and permission for us to work with.
You will try to refrain as much as you can, from smoking, sugar, caffeine and alcohol as these can trigger stress hormones, can constrict blood vessels so less blood gets around the body and into the brain and can cause inflammation in the body which can make your symptoms worse. (Some people don't refrain and still get better, just let me know if you can't refrain)
2. I understand that I need to do the self help technique exercises twice a day. I know that the technique does not work if not done twice a day. I understand that out of 24 hours in my day, I need to give myself 10 to 15 minutes twice a day away from my mind being on pain and the symptoms I get to be able to move towards healing and less pain. I understand that which once learnt only take about 10 to 15 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the evening. Once in the morning and once at night, in bed is best. I understand there is a new shorter version that I may be able to do instead, that takes 5 minutes.
If I have a history of trouble sleeping, I understand that doing the night exercises just before going to sleep will help me sleep better.
I can do the exercises more than twice a day if I want to if my symptoms are severe but do not have to. No more than 4 times a day. If I am not making good progress in after the first month, I will try to do a 3rd session in the day, the mini version. I will not increase the suggested number of each exercise in the session.
I understand that if I do the self help technique only once a day I will probably have less pain relief, the technique will probably not work and I won't be eligible for the refund option. I can do the PT express instead if I am short of time, on the odd occasion.
3. I will NOT stop or reduce any medication I have been prescribed without first discussing with my Doctor. I will inform Personal Tuning if my medication changes during the time I am receiving care from Suzanne Chappell. I understand that Suzanne and Personal Tuning Ltd is not advising me to decrease or stop my medication. I understand that by doing the self help technique some of my symptoms may improve which may require my medication to be reassessed by my Doctor and I will monitor this closely with my Doctor. If I stop any over the counter pain meds that I have been taking regularly, I will tell Suzanne about this immediately, if it is something I am used to taking long term.
4. I will not copy or share the Self help technique Downloadable exercise cheat sheet, videos, password with anyone else, even other practitioners. I will not show anyone what I do in the technique. If a practitioner needs to know about it, please refer them straight to Suzanne for details. If non practitioners want to learn from you please also refer them to Suzanne.(The fee your friend will pay goes towards the costs associated with the Instructors training, costs of website set up and ongoing web host fees, huge advertising and management costs, the time taken to set up the administration and ongoing administration. Cost of ongoing Zoom fees, Vimeo fees, Stripe fees, costs of Insurance etc. We hope they understand. Thanks for being honourable.)
5. I will not share any information from the session with others whether it be about the technique or about other participants (if in a group session or from the Facebook group) and agree to keep their information confidential. I understand I can discuss within the group (if in a group session or on Aches Away & Energize Client Facebook group).
6. When watching the videos or when in the online Consult – I will not let anyone else be present in the room unless I get permission from Suzanne at Aches Away & Energize. (eg if you need help with the computer or physical help, a caregiver).
Very Important: I will not share the password that gives me access to the online videos.
7. At checkout: Disclaimer: In the unlikely event that there be any error with FX rate conversions (money conversion from country to country) and your purchase completes with an FX rate margin error, then we will cancel your order and refund you so you can purchase again once we have fixed the problem. (This means that if there is a stuff up in the exchange rates for some reason we will refund so you can purchase again).
8. Once you have paid for the programme you may only cancel the programme before the first paid consultation and before access to the Self-help technique, if you change your mind.
If you are paying in monthly payments you will not stop the payments even if you think there is no change in your symptoms. You need to give the full 12 weeks a chance to start healing, and to do the final assessment, then a refund can be considered after that. Some people actually forget they had certain symptoms and can judge unfairly.
Refund Policy
If none of your major symptoms improve within 12 weeks, you will do another 12 weeks at no extra charge and I will work close with you to help and if, after that, you have done the techniques as instructed and not missed doing it twice a day (you are allowed one or two misses but not together).
You have done the full technique most of the time for your morning and night sessions, with the PT Express on the odd occasion, unless instructed otherwise by Suzanne, and followed our instructions eg keep your chin in neutral position, not down not up and not poking outwards as much as possible, and you answer your follow up emails within 3 days and ask for help as soon as a problem arises, not leave it for more than 3 days you then get half of the full cost of the Program and the PNT sessions back (if you chose to purchase PNT).
If you are paying in payments, you agree to pay up to half of the full cost of the program and PNT (if you chose to purchase PNT).
You agree to pay any paypal, or stripe fees, bank, or currency conversion fees if any incurred by getting a refund, for changing the refund from $NZ back to your currency, if paypal, or stripe or your bank charge you any.
The refund must be discussed at the end of the two 12 weeks at a second final follow up and no later than 1 week after.
You agree you will not share any information you have learned since starting the programme or your cheat sheet with anyone else (or use it with others in any way) if you choose to have a refund or not. You agree you will discontinue doing the Program and self help technique from the date of giving your final follow up or notice of cancelling and will tear up the cheat sheet immediately.
The Chronic Fatigue Calm Down Challenge is not eligible for a refund.
You will not start any new exercise during the program and will wait until after 12 weeks to do so.
If you want to exercise you will do the exercise in the Exercise Module only for the 12 weeks, or walking or swimming a short distance only or talk to Suzanne first about what you are going to do for agreed approval.
The next few paragraphs are only if you are having Pain Neutralization sessions as an optional extra in your Program:
Unless you have discussed with and have had cleared by Suzanne, you will not do any stretches (given to you by someone else or that you decided to do for yourself) or yoga during the next 12 weeks (I have cleared some people to do, so check with Suzanne).
You will not poke at the sore areas, slap or wack the sore areas in your body or have any other treatment after or between your Pain Neutralization sessions (unless cleared by Suzanne), or do any physical labour or exercise that makes you feel sore afterwards, and you understand that if you do, you will undo the effect of the Pain Neutralization. You will not roll your neck or try to stretch your neck with your hands or arch your back during the 12 week program.
If you are in need of treatment, this does not mean you cannot visit your Dr or seek help with physical treatment when you need it if you cannot have Pain Neutralization with Suzanne during the 12 weeks, but...
Please inform Suzanne if you have any other physical treatment during the 12 weeks of the Program if you are doing the Pain Neutralzation as part of your program.
The following is for everyone:
You will clear any exercise you do already, with Suzanne before continuing.
You will not do any exercise that hurts or leaves you sore afterwards or makes you crash afterwards.
You will not do hard out exercise, that makes you perspire or get sore muscles same or next day, while you are in the Program.
You will not go off any pain meds without talking to your Doctor and Suzanne first. (This changes the base line of your pain, if you have been on them for a while, please discuss with Suzanne first).
You tell Suzanne immediately if anything is hurting in the self-help technique, so we can change how you do it for you. You will not stop doing the self-help technique all together. You will continue with it but not do the exercise that is hurting. You will contact Suzanne immediately about it.
You will answer any facebook chats or email follow ups within 3 days so that any problems can be addressed asap. If you ignore follow up emails and do not get in touch within 3 days you forfeit the right for a refund as you have not kept up with my instructions and given me a chance to advise you how to get around any problems you encounter.
You will ask for help as soon as a problem arises, not leave it for more than 3 days
You keep within the 12 weeks from starting and cannot have an extension of time unless this is discussed with Suzanne and agreed upon for exceptional circumstances.
This is what the Lawyers have written up...

8. Important Information about Children
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) (https://www.ftc.gov/) requires that online service providers obtain parental (or legal guardian) consent before they collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13. Company’s Site does not target children, and is not intended to be used by children without involvement and approval of a parent or guardian. Therefore, we only knowingly collect personal information through the Services from a child under 13 where that parent or guardian (or a student’s school, district, and/or teacher has agreed to obtain parental/guardian consent for that child) to use the Services and disclose personal information to us, for the use and benefit of the learning environment. If you are a child or student under 13, please do not send any personal information about yourself to us if your parent, guardian, school, district, and/or teacher has not provided this prior consent to us, and please do not send any personal information other than what we request from you in connection with the Site. If we learn we have collected personal information from a child or student under 13 without parental/guardian consent being obtained or if we learn a child under 13 has provided us personal information beyond what we request from them for the Site, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 13 may have provided us personal information in violation of this paragraph, please contact us at suzanne@achesawayandenergize.com
Parents and legal guardians, if your child is under the age of 13, consent may need to be given in order for such child to use certain features of the Site. You are responsible for understanding how the Site you use, make available, and/or distribute on behalf of yourself or other users may collect and use information of users of Company’s Site. If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child who has created a User Account with us and you did not receive an email seeking your consent, you can email us at suzanne@achesawayandenergize.com to have that child’s User Account deleted.

By submitting a purchase request to us (directly, or through our Site or our authorised vendors or affiliates) for any service, you represent and warrant that all information submitted to us in connection thereto is complete and accurate. At our discretion, purchase requests will be processed, but we reserve the right not to accept your purchase request at our sole discretion. In such case, we may inform you by email or via your User Account.

10. Refunds and Returns
Once you have started the programme you may only cancel the programme before the first paid consultation and before access to the Self-help technique, if you change your mind.
If you are paying in monthly payments you will not stop the payments even if you think there is no change in your symptoms. You need to give the full 12 weeks a chance to start healing, and to do an assessment, then a refund can be considered after the second 12 weeks. Some people actually forget they had certain symptoms and can judge unfairly.
If none of your major symptoms improve within 12 weeks, you will do another 12 weeks at no extra charge and I will work close with you to help and if, after that, you have done the techniques as instructed and not missed doing it twice a day (you are allowed one or two misses but not together).
You have done the full technique most of the time for your morning and night sessions, with the PT Express on the odd occasion, unless instructed otherwise by Suzanne, and followed our instructions eg keep your chin in neutral position, not down not up and not poking outwards as much as possible, and you answer your follow up emails within 3 days and ask for help as soon as a problem arises, not leave it for more than 3 days you then get half of the full cost of the Program and the PNT sessions back (if you chose to purchase PNT).
If you are paying in payments, you agree to pay up to half of the full cost of the program and PNT (if you chose to purchase PNT).
You agree to pay any paypal, or stripe fees, bank, or currency conversion fees if any incurred by getting a refund, for changing the refund from $NZ back to your currency, if paypal, or stripe or your bank charge you any.
The refund must be discussed at the end of the two 12 weeks at a second final follow up and no later than 1 week after.
You agree you will not share any information you have learned since starting the programme or your cheat sheet with anyone else (or use it in any way) if you choose to have a refund or not. You agree you will discontinue doing the Program and self help technique from the date of giving your final follow up or notice of cancelling and will tear up the cheat sheet immediately.
Refunds or returns, for whatever reason, if available for the service ordered, of any payment to be received by you may take place using the same method of payment you chose during the check- out procedure. Company, will not be responsible for any delays or conditions beyond its control, including without limitation delays caused by the method of payment/refund or those attributable to the card issuer.
You will not do any excercise that hurts. You will discuss the exercise you are doing with Suzanne so she can approve so it does not counteract the Program.
You will not do hard out exercise, that makes you perspire or get sore muscles same or next day, while you are in the Program.
You will not go off any pain meds without talking to your Doctor and/or Suzanne first.
You will get in touch if anything is hurting in the exercises so we can sort for you. You will not stop doing the exercises without talking to Suzanne first.
