When you book a reading with me, you will be asked to download and sign a waiver that explains the nature of my business and its limits. Because many people overlook this part of the booking process, I’m including it here and stating that by way of booking or participating in your appointment, you agree to the following:
That you are at least 18 years old and have voluntarily decided to book or participate in a reading for yourself. I’m sorry but I do not read for people under 18 years of age.
That you understand that an intuitive reading is in no way a substitute for professional medical, mental health, or spiritual counseling and treatment. I urge you to seek appropriate care for mind and body. I am not a healer or shaman, and I do not wish to have authority over your life, your self-understanding or your future. I strongly urge you to be your own healer, your own best advocate. Under California law, this practice is classified as entertainment.
That you understand that I, or any intuitive, cannot guarantee 100 percent accuracy of any statement and that I do not include or guarantee predictions of the future in my practice. I always urge people who see me to remain authorities in their own lives. No psychic, medium, intuitive, or other counselor can tell you what to do or tell you who you are. Intuitives, psychics, and mediums and other such practitioners can be wrong, can interpret material incorrectly, or put language to the information they receive that miscommunicates, or only partly communicates, what they are seeing, sensing, hearing. Remember that intuitives encounter complex symbols, feelings, tastes, sounds, images, memories, and so on, which they then must rapidly translate into human language. Error is possible.
That you understand that you may receive information that you may consider unpleasant, painful, or emotionally difficult. We often encounter, pain, loss, grief, embarrassment, and other types discomfort when facing psychic, conscious or unconscious material. Intuitives may encounter this material. If you DO NOT wish to encounter this material, I urge you to seek another type of reading with another intuitive.
That you understand that any mention of a person in your reading living or passed, fictional or real, takes place within the dome of your energy, your mind and your consciousness. I cannot and will not read for a person who is not present. However, I accept that relationships are central to our lives and that thoughts of other people may arise for you in the reading. By participating in a reading with me, you accept that I am not reading another person’s life, personality, disposition, action, or activity past, present or future. Your reading is about your thoughts, opinions and feelings and any mention of another person is never to be taken as objective truth of that person’s life, disposition, personality, or activities or actions.
That you understand that our sessions are completely confidential and that neither you or I will publish any part of the session. Please note that Zoom, Skype, FaceTime, Google Hangouts, WeTransfer, Dropbox, email, texts, another digital platforms may not be completely confidential in themselves and use of these platforms does entail certain risks.
That you accept that I encourage you to record your reading and that I can also record the reading and send it to you. You understand that neither I nor you will record without permission.
And now for the legalize:
By having a reading with me. you agree that you, your assigns, executors, guardians and other legal counselors, or entities release me, Asher Hartman and my employees or anyone associated with my business, from all known or unknown claims against me as a result of any information arising out of a reading that you received from me. You waive all claims, demands, compensation, actions, that I or anyone associated with me or any other participant in the reading currently or hereafter may have for any injuries perceived or real losses you may suffer or believe to have suffered because of or during your reading with me, Asher Hartman. You understand and agree that in the event that you, or anyone associated with you, bring a claim for damages against Asher Hartman and any person associated with Asher Hartman as a result of Asher Hartman’s actions, omissions and other acts, that you and/or your estate shall indemnify and hold harmless Asher Hartman and all persons associated with Asher Hartman from any and all claims, actions, and or damages, legal and otherwise, including the cost and expense of and including reasonable attorney fees associated with defending such actions and claims.
That you agree that you engage in this reading at your own risk.
Thank you for understanding that I could not conduct a business wherein we must speak freely without this disclaimer and waiver. I strive to work ethically, to treat people with respect and dignity. I also understand that my style of reading is to be very free, open to spirit, to unconscious influences, and that I may use language that you may misunderstand or dislike. I strongly urge you to seek an intuitive with whom you feel comfortable, whose style resonates with you. If I am not that person, it is my wish and hope for you that you find exactly the right fit with a person who can help you blossom!
