Clients requiring such advice are encouraged to consult a qualified professional independently.

03
Engaging Our Services
An engagement with Bequesta begins when:
- You submit an enquiry and we confirm our availability and service details to you in writing, or
- You make a payment for a specific service
We will provide you with a clear description of the service, any materials included, the session format, and the price before any engagement is confirmed. You are under no obligation to proceed until you are comfortable with the terms of the service.
04
Fees and Payment
Service fees are as set out on our website and in any written confirmation we provide. All prices are stated in Thai Baht (฿) and are inclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.
Payment terms will be communicated to you at the time of booking. We reserve the right to update our fees from time to time; changes will not affect engagements that have already been confirmed in writing.
Fees paid are non-refundable except in the circumstances described in Section 5 below.
05
Cancellation and Rescheduling
We understand that circumstances change. Our cancellation approach is as follows:
- Cancellation by the client with more than 7 days' notice — we will offer a full credit toward a future session or, at our discretion, a refund.
- Cancellation by the client with less than 7 days' notice — we will endeavour to reschedule the session at a mutually convenient time. A credit may be offered at our discretion depending on the circumstances.
- Cancellation by Bequesta — if we are unable to deliver a session for any reason, we will notify you promptly and offer a full reschedule or a full refund.
Rescheduling requests are always welcomed where notice is provided. We aim to accommodate changes wherever reasonably possible.
06
