Consultation Policies
To use my personalized consultation, you must understand and agree to a few simple policies and follow a few simple instructions. If you do not accept these policies, please do not sign up for a personal consult.
Policies
-
My fee for this service is $40 USD for a 30 minute session and $70 USD for a 60 minute session. For sessions longer than 60 minutes I charge $70 USD plus $1 USD for each minute over 60 minutes. In other words, for 75 minutes the fee would be $85 USD ($70 for the first hour plus $15 for the additional 15 minutes).
Fees are subject to change without advance notice (of course the fee won't change between the time you pay for a consult and the time of the consult).
-
The fee must be paid via PayPal and the payment must CLEAR prior to the consult. You do not need a PayPal account to pay through PayPal, just a credit or debit card (or possibly even just a checking account).
When I receive your message sent through the contact form below I will email you instructions on how to pay.
-
You are paying for my time, attention, input, and interaction, NOT for any guarantee of success or satisfaction. If I "show up", listen, and interact to the best of my ability, I have done my part and have earned my fee. You have probably read at least part of my site, 100% written by me (except where otherwise noted), and have some feel for my areas of expertise and how I might be of assistance to you (otherwise why would you even want to talk to me?). By scheduling an appointment you accept that as sufficient.
-
A refund will be made ONLY IF (a) you cancel at least 15 minutes prior to the appointment time, or (b) I cancel the appointment or am unable keep our appointment. But if you do not cancel at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled appointment time and I attempt a call at the appointed time (and a few re-tries over the next 10 minutes) to the phone number or Skype name you provide, then no refunds will be made.
At present I do not charge any kind of cancellation fee for cancellations at least 15 minutes PRIOR to the appointment time.
I consider the ACCURATE time to be that reflected at www.WorldTimeServer.com. If your clock differs significantly, please synchronize accordingly for the purposes of our appointment.
-
I am a licensed driver, but that's about the extent of my licensing. I am NOT a licensed professional in anything else, I am not "board certified", I am not a credentialed psychologist or psychiatrist or any such thing. I do not present any consultation as "professional advice", "therapy", or anything like that.
You are basically paying me to be your friend on the phone for some set period of time, presumably to talk about meeting Russian women or some related topic. The farther from that topic our conversation strays, the less helpful I'll probably be (but as long as you pay, I'll do my best on whatever topic you want to talk about).
Instructions
To arrange an appointment time, use the contact form below. In your message to me on that contact form, please include:
-
Three time slots that work for you in order of preference (ideally weekends 11am till 4pm or weeknights 8pm till 11pm (all times New York/Eastern U.S. time).
-
A phone number or Skype name where you can be reached AND YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS
-
The amount of time you would like to schedule
You may also include in your message as much detail as you wish about your situation so that I can get a little head start so as to make our phone time more profitable and not so focused on details I could just have easily read.
As long as your description of your situation is less than 1000 words, I will not charge for the time it takes to read. If it is more than 1000 words, I will charge a rate of $1 USD/hour AFTER the first 1000 words. You can avoid this charge by simply using your word processor's word count feature (they all have this) and keeping it under 1000 words (NOTE: I know that the form below does not LOOK like it will hold 1000 words, but it will).
When I receive your message sent through the contact form, I will email you the date and time that I will call and instructions for payment.
