Business Practice Policy: Terms and Conditions

Vedic astrological consultations provided by David A. Goldstein, Ph.D. are  conducted privately between the client and himself.   These  consultations offer analysis and interpretation of the client’s Vedic  astrological chart.   Utmost care is taken to maintain complete  confidentiality between the client and Dr. Goldstein.  See Privacy Policy   
 

While  Vedic Astrology is a powerful predictive science, it is not always 100%  accurate.    The reason for less than 100% accuracy is due to certain  factors including the inaccuracy of true birth times and some proportion  of human error.   Dr. Goldstein strives for 100% accuracy in every  consultation, but he cannot guarantee that level of precision.   Your  birth data will be checked multiple times prior to your consultation and  at the beginning of every session. 

Each client is responsible for providing an accurate birth date, birth time (to the minute) and birth location (City (County if known), State and Country.

The  information and advice obtained from a consultation should be used as a  guideline or roadmap.   Each person ultimately remains fully  responsible for his behavior, judgments and decision-making process.   Astrological information should be used concurrently with rational,  logical, intelligent decision-making processes.   Clients may use the  information from the consultation according to their own best interests,  completely at their sole discretion.

APPOINTMENT PROCEDURE  (HOW TO REQUEST A CONSULTATION):

All  consultations are set up in advance, by appointment only.   Interested  clients should contact Dr. Goldstein by email using the secure order  form which should be completed and submitted directly from this website.

After submitting your order form, you should make the required  payment by clicking on the PAY PAL Button on this website.   You  will be redirected to the Pay Pal website, where you will input the  payment amount and submit.  All Major Credit Cards are accepted or you  can use your Pay Pal account.  You do not need a pay pal account  to make a credit card payment and there is no fee for using this pay pal  service. 

Once your order form is received with the pertinent  information completed, you will be contacted by email to set up a formal appointment.  You will be offered the very  next available appointment.  If this date or time is inconvenient, then other  dates/times will be offered.   Your schedule will be accommodated as  much as possible.  However, consultations are not conducted after sunset  (Eastern Time Zone).   Keep this in mind if you request a specific  appointment time, especially from western time zones.   
 

METHOD AND TERMS  OF SERVICE:  

  
Consultations  are conducted by telephone.   Dr. Goldstein  will call you promptly at the telephone number you designate when you  order the consultation.   Be sure to indicate which telephone number you  prefer for the date of your appointment.

Prasna (Question) consults and Muhurta (event-timing) consults are completed in writing and sent to you by email.

In preparing for your session, you should be in a quiet, private location where you can focus on the phone meeting without interruptions.

You are welcome to make a list of your questions and concerns in advance of your appointment and have them ready when we meet.

Multi-tasking and/or driving while having your consultation is problematic, disrespects the process and reduces your ability to gain the information in a meaningful way.  If you are driving, I reserve the right to delay your appointment  until you get to a safe location and can park. 

If you use a speaker phone, then be sure you are close to the microphone and speak louder so I can hear you.  You may be asked to go off the speaker phone if our connection is poor, or if there are echoes or static on the line.

All sessions are conducted from my office uninterrupted, under complete privacy, quiet and seclusion.  

After your session, if you have additional questions, or if you would like more clarification, or information, then a new separate appointment is required.   If you send an email with additional questions, these will only receive a response during your next scheduled appointment.

RECORDING OF THE SESSION:

All  consultations are professionally recorded onto an audio Mp3 file for  your convenience.   Both sides of our telephone conversation are  recorded, so when you review the session, you will also hear your  questions/comments.

If you prefer not to have a recording of your consultation, simply inform me and a recording will not be made.  

Once  your session is completed, the recording of your session is saved for a  period of one year and then it is deleted.  All audio recordings are  maintained in “the cloud” on a secure server system.  If you lose your  copy, a back-up copy will be emailed to you free of charge up to a  period of one year.  After that time,  it will be impossible to access  previous recordings since they are deleted after one year from your  appointment date.

PAYMENT POLICY:

Payment is  due at least 48 hours prior to your scheduled appointment.  If payment  is not received by the deadline, you will be contacted once and offered  the opportunity to render payment.  Appointments are subject to  cancellation if payment is not received prior to the session.

Payment  by credit card may be made securely by clicking on the PAY PAL button  directly from this website, Dgoldsteinphd.com.  All Major credit cards  are accepted. 

Payment may be made by personal check or money order, provided the payment is received prior to your scheduled appointment. 

Checks should be submitted to:  “Dr. David Goldstein”  and mailed to the following address:

P.O. Box 905, Pisgah Forest, NC  U.S.A.  28768

If  payment is submitted by check or money order, you may indicate this on  the order form, and continue to submit the order form directly from the  website, before mailing your check.  You may then mail your check  separately. Please be sure the name on the check is referenced on the  order form, so you will be properly credited. 

CANCELLATION/RESCHEDULE POLICY:

Since  appointments are set in advance, it is important that you do your best  to keep the date and time slot agreed upon.   Understandably, due to  unforeseen circumstances, personal situations arise and an appointment  must be rescheduled.   A minimum of 48-hour notice is requested to  change your appointment to a later date.    You may email or call to change your appointment to a later date.
