Interactive Session
Booking an interactive session:
All interactive sessions need to be booked at least 24 hours ahead of time.
In order to book an interactive session you will need to have sufficient credits in your account. Once you have booked an interactive session, these credits will be ‘reserved’ either until the session has been completed or canceled. Each interactive session unit is set to 15 minutes long. A consultants’ schedule is divided into three 20 minute segments per hour. Out of each 20 minute segment, 15 minutes interactive time is allowed with a 5 minute buffer. Only time slots made available by a consultant may be booked by a client.
Activating a session:
To start an interactive session, you will have to be logged in to NatureMDs and click the activation link on your profile home page. Once you have clicked this link you will need to agree to the terms and conditions. Failing to do so will result in a ‘no show’ on your part all you will be charged in full for this session.
Technical Considerations:
In order to use the interactive webcam sessions a client must have a webcam, a microphone, enabled pop-ups for NatureMDs and high speed internet connection. Even with all these requirements met, NatureMDs cannot guarantee the quality of a webcam session. The quality of the sessions greatly depends on your network speeds provided by your ISP. NatureMDs is always trying to upgrade the service quality and use the latest software, however, delays, echoes and other interferences might be experienced. NatureMDs strongly recommends the use of a headset for all online sessions.
NatureMDs will work with every desktop browser. However, in order to have an interactive session you must either use:
• Google Chrome (latest release version)
• Firefox (latest release version)
• Internet Explorer 8,9,10, and 11 (you will be required to install OpenTok Plugin for Internet Explorer)
• Opera (latest release version)
At this point in time it is not possible to have an interactive session using Apple’s desktop Safari browser. Therefore, if you want to have a session on an Apple computer, you will need to run a non-native browser such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
We strongly advise using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox for all interactive sessions whether you are a PC or Mac user.
You can have an interactive session on a mobile device or tablet on Android either using Google Chrome for Android (latest release version) or Firefox for Android (latest release version).
NatureMDs does not currently support interactive sessions on iOS including iPhones and iPads.
Charging Rules (Fees, Reserved Credits, Cancelations and Refunds)
Fees
NatureMDs works on a credit based system. To use any of the NatureMDs services’ you will have to have a positive balance prior to scheduling an interactive session which corresponds to the consultant’s fee of your choice.
The fee of each interactive session is determined by each individual consultant and not by NatureMDs. Each consultant’s fee may change without prior warning.
Reserved Credits
When booking an interactive session, the appropriate amount of credits will be 'Reserved' in your account for this session. These reserved credits will be locked until the session is either completed or canceled and cannot be used for any other purpose.
Cancelations
If a client cancels an interactive session:
Cancelation of a scheduled interactive session is possible, and will result in no charge, if you cancel more than 24 hours prior to the scheduled interactive session. Should you cancel a scheduled interactive session less than 24 hours from the time of the scheduled interactive session you will be charged the full credit amount.
If a consultant cancels an interactive session:
Should your consultant cancel an interactive session within any time frame of the scheduled interactive session you will not be charged and you will be refunded the credits back into your balance.
Should your scheduled session not take place due to technical reasons on the NatureMDs site (planned maintenance, server down, power failure, site bugs, hacking attempts, script errors) you will not be charged and you will be refunded the credits back into your balance.
Refunds
You are entitled to a full refund of your purchased balance, within 14 days of your purchase, provided that none of the purchased balance has been used.
NatureMDs does not offer any refunds for completed services. Should you be dissatisfied with your consultants’ advice you will need to discuss this directly with your consultant.
