Ethics

To the best of my abilities, I will go above and beyond for my clients needs. If I feel I am unable to assist you or feel what you’re looking for is another reader’s specialty,  I will let you know and do my best to put you in contact with someone who can assist you.

I welcome and enjoy strange requests! However, I do not assist with gambling/lottery/”luck” readings, pregnancy or health readings, or legal matters. 

All readings are confidential. 

I reserve the right to refuse to service for any reason. If I feel as though you’re becoming too dependent upon my services, I will let you know. 

Policy on lateness and cancellation:  I require a 24-hour notice if you cannot make it to your appointment – if you do not give me sufficient notice, your fee for the appointment will be forfeited. 

Disclaimer:  This site is for entertainment purposes only. By participating in/reading my tarot service/website/blog/email series, you acknowledge that I am not a lawyer, licensed psychologist, financial advisor, business consultant or health care professional and my services do not replace the care of attorneys, business consultants, financial advisors, psychologists or other healthcare professionals. Tarot is in no way to be construed or substituted as psychological counseling or any other type of therapy or medical advice. I will at all times exercise my best professional efforts, skills, and care. However, I cannot guarantee the outcome of tarot efforts and/or recommendations on my website/blog and my comments about the outcome are expressions of opinion only. I cannot make any guarantees other than to deliver the tarot services purchased as described.

Terms of Service

Payment Terms. Due to the difficulty with debt collection, all payments for reading requests must be tendered in advance or COD. Direct credit card and PayPal payments accepted. Please direct your payment preference type to Misfit Fox at the time of your service request. Please note that all payment transfers are done through the third party platform(s) NAME THE PAYMENT SITE YOU USE, E.G., BRAINTREE, SQUARE, PAYPAL, etc., so please be familiar with the privacy policy and terms of use for these third party platforms.
Misfit Fox is not liable for any mishandling by these third party platforms. In the event of third party mishandling, your claim will be with the payment site directly. Misfit Fox does not accept checks or money orders. If your credit card is declined or payment is not properly transferred due to deficiencies on your end, then Misfit Fox will be entitled to the balance owed plus a 25% interest as additional charge for the deficiency.

Cancellation Policy. For in-person sessions by appointment, to cancel you must send the cancelation notice to Misfit Fox at least 24 (twenty-four) hours in advance of the appointment. Otherwise you will be bound to pay the session price even if you do not show up for your session. Due to our packed schedule and the number of clientele we handle, cancellations are an enormous burden on our business. Thus, if you book a session, then we rely on your representation that you will fulfill your end of the arrangement and we will of ours. For e-mail written reading reports, all sales are final and therefore once offer and acceptance have been confirmed, you will be bound to the terms. Again, this is due to our busy schedule and the enormous burden placed on us if and when there are cancellations.

Service Requested is Not Time Sensitive. You understand and acknowledge that the service you have requested is not urgent and that time is not of the essence. If, however, your inquiry is urgent or time-sensitive, then separate, additional, written arrangements need to be made with Misfit Fox . If no such documented, written arrangements are made on timing of delivery, then you hereby assure us that your request and needs are not time-sensitive.

FOR SERVICES ONLY: Refund Policy for Services. At Misfit Fox we value one-to-one personalized care, supported by a spiritual point of view. You are requesting a spirituality-based service tendered from experience, specialized knowledge, and personalized attention. Thus, our services are non-refundable. All service fulfillments are final. Nonetheless, we at Misfit Fox want to ensure that you glean the most value from your spiritual experience with us, and so if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. We would be more than happy to attend to you and see what we can do to resolve any concerns you may have.

FOR CUSTOM-MADE GOODS ONLY: Refund Policy for Custom-Made Goods. You have specially ordered a custom-made good, which will be hand-crafted and personally prepared by Misfit Fox . Our products and services come from a spiritual point of view and as a spirituality-based product or service, you will be given personal attention and care. As a result, each product we sell is custom-made and considered a custom good. Thus, regrettably they are non-refundable. All fulfillments are final. Nonetheless, we at Misfit Fox want to ensure that you glean the most value from your spiritual experience with us, and so if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. We would be more than happy to attend to you and see what we can do to resolve any concerns you may have.

Scope of Life Coach Services. The services provided by Misfit Fox are akin to life coaching services and we strive to help you work on your goals for the future and create the life path you desire. Your experience with Misfit Fox in no way replaces professional counseling from a licensed counselor or therapist and cannot be relied upon in lieu of sound legal, medical, or financial advice from licensed or qualified professionals. Misfit Fox in no way diagnoses problems, but rather, suggests creative and intuitive perspectives for understanding your current problems, to help you come up with actions you can take to empower yourself in a way that will maximize your personal and professional potentials. Misfit Fox strives to help you improve the quality of your life by tapping into your creativity and intuition. The role of such a life coach is supportive.

Disclosure of Limitations. The spirituality-based services of Misfit Fox should never be used in place of professional counseling. Your reading cannot offer legal, medical, business, or financial advice nor does any portion of your reading from Misfit Fox purport to do so. You should not rely on any such spirituality-based service to make any decision that would affect your legal, financial, or medical condition. If your inquiry involves the law, finance, or medicine, then you should seek the advice of a licensed or qualified legal, financial, or medical professional. Also, spirituality-based services by Misfit Fox cannot replace qualified mental health care. A tarot reading can only facilitate how you cope spiritually with a given situation.

Video Reading Recordings. Misfit Fox may, at your option, provide video conference consultations or sessions through third party platforms or hosts, such as Skype or Google Hangout. These video sessions may from time to time be recorded. If a video session is recorded, you will be put on notice in advance of the recording. You are entitled to a copy of the video recording, though processing and administrative charges may apply. Before consenting to a video session, please go over any questions or concerns you may have with Misfit Fox. By commencing a video session, you are consenting to the terms herein. Likewise, please be advised that you are not permitted to record video sessions without express, written permission from Misfit Fox. If you would like to record your video session, then please ask before doing so. Reasonable accommodation or arrangements can then be made accordingly.

Confidentiality. Misfit Fox exercises reasonable diligence in maintaining the confidentiality of your sessions and we will not voluntarily, knowingly, intentionally, or willfully disclose your identity or the contents of your sessions with us to third parties. However, if Misfit Fox genuinely believes disclosure is required to: (1) prevent imminent harm or risk of harm to yourself or to another, (2) meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or (3) protect or defend Misfit Fox against claims or threats of claims, then Misfit Fox reserves the right to do so to the extent reasonably necessary. Please keep in mind that no legally recognized privilege exists between a tarot professional and client the way a privilege might exist between an attorney and client, doctor and patient, husband and wife, or priest and penitent.

Fortune Telling Laws. Pursuant to applicable laws of certain jurisdictions, a person can be guilty of fortune telling, still outlawed in certain places, when for a fee or compensation, that person claims or pretends to tell fortunes, or holds him or herself out as being able, by claimed or pretended use of occult powers, to answer questions or give advice on personal matters or to exorcise, influence, or affect evil spirits or curses, unless otherwise done so explicitly for entertainment purposes only. Any and all services provided by Misfit Fox neither claims nor pretends to tell fortunes and neither claims nor pretends to use occult powers in ways that would run against such laws.

For Entertainment Purposes Only. In certain jurisdictions, the spirituality-based services provided by Misfit Fox would require a clear disclaimer that such services are for entertainment purposes only. Thus, if such a law applies to any sessions between us, then you are hereby on notice that our session is and can only be for entertainment purposes only. Nonetheless, please note that per the faith and personal spiritual practices of Misfit Fox , all sessions will comply strictly to the morals and codes outlined by that faith and spiritual practice. In other words, we take our moral obligation to you seriously. Irrespective of the law, we treat our spiritual connection with you with reverence, faith, and integrity.

Reservation of Right. From time to time, as would be ordinary for any business, Misfit Fox may modify the Terms of Service and we reserve the right to do so at our discretion accordingly. The terms your service with us will be bound by will be the terms applicable at the time your service was rendered.
