An agreement is established by written acceptance of the registration or therapy plan. The therapy plan reflects the content of the agreement.
Article 3
An agreement can also be established verbally, such as an appointment for an intake or therapy session.

The care that CalmMind offers is non-contractual care. The responsibility for investigating which costs are covered by the client’s insurance company and which conditions the insurance company applies, lies fully with the client.

Article 7
If the client has granted authorization to the psychologist for bank collection, this will not be used until seven days after the invoice date.
Article 8
If the client has not paid the amount due within 14 days after the invoice date, or if within 7 days after the payment under art. 7 no payment has been received, the client defaults on the payment.
Article 9
In case of non-payment within 14 days of the invoice date, the psychologist will first send the client a payment reminder, free of charge, in which he gives the client the opportunity to pay for another week without additional costs. In this letter, the psychologist explicitly warns the client that collection costs associated with recovering payment will be charged after two weeks, stating how high these costs are.

Article 12
Repeated conflicts about payment can put a lot of strain on the relationship of trust between the client and the psychologist. This may ultimately lead to the psychologist being forced to suspend or terminate the professional relationship because she believes there is a “serious reason” for termination.
Article 13
Your practitioner at CalmMind is affiliated with the professional association of psychologists (NIP) and is included in the Stichting Kwaliteitsregister Jeugd (SKJ), established by the government. This means that your practitioner uses a professional code of ethics in which she undertakes to treat information confidentially.
Article 14
Providing information to third parties is only possible with explicit client permission. For example, it may be important for the client’s general practitioner to be aware that the treatment at CalmMind has started and how the treatment is progressing.
