1. About AURA

AURA is a booking and practice-management platform operated by Aura Booking Limited, a company incorporated in Scotland (Company Number SC888835), with its registered office at Unit W5 Rosemount Business Park, 141 Charles Street, Glasgow, G21 2QA ("AURA", "we", "us", "our").

AURA provides two distinct services:

AURA is a technology platform only. We do not provide aesthetic, medical, beauty, or any other treatment services. All treatments are provided solely by the independent practitioner the client books with.

2. Accounts and Registration

2.1 Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. By registering, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate, complete, and current.

2.2 Account security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at support@aurabooking.co.uk if you suspect any unauthorised access.

2.3 One account per practitioner

Each practitioner may hold one active account. AURA reserves the right to merge or close duplicate accounts.

3. Practitioner Terms

3.1 Nature of the relationship

Practitioners are independent operators, not employees, agents, or partners of AURA. AURA does not direct, supervise, or endorse the treatments, advice, or clinical decisions made by practitioners.

3.2 Qualifications and compliance

By registering as a practitioner, you represent and warrant that:

3.3 Stripe Connect

To accept deposits and payments through AURA, you must complete onboarding with our payment processor, Stripe, via Stripe Connect. You agree to Stripe's Connected Account Agreement. AURA is not a party to that agreement and is not liable for Stripe's decisions regarding your account.

3.4 Data responsibilities

Practitioners are independent data controllers in respect of their client data. You are responsible for ensuring your use of client data complies with UK GDPR and your own privacy notice. AURA's Privacy Policy applies to data processed by AURA on its own behalf.

3.5 Practitioner Agreement

Practitioners are additionally subject to the AURA Practitioner Agreement and the Acceptable Use Policy, both of which form part of these Terms by reference.

4. Client Terms

4.1 Booking through AURA

When you make a booking through an AURA-powered booking page, you are entering into a contract with the practitioner — not with AURA. AURA facilitates the booking and payment only.

4.2 Accuracy of information

You must provide accurate and complete information at the time of booking, including your name, contact details, and any health or contraindication information requested by the practitioner or contained in a consent form. Providing false information may render your booking void without refund.

4.3 Age

You must be 18 or over to book treatments through AURA. Some treatments may have higher age requirements under law or practitioner policy.

5. Payments and Fees

5.1 Deposit payments

Many practitioners require a deposit at the time of booking. Deposit amounts are set by the individual practitioner. The deposit is applied to the total treatment cost at your appointment.

5.2 Booking levy

A non-refundable platform booking levy of £1.00 is charged on every booking where a deposit is taken. This levy is collected by Aura Booking Limited and is what enables AURA to be offered free to practitioners. The levy is clearly displayed to clients at the time of booking.

Each booking includes a £1 booking fee which covers the cost of providing the AURA booking service. This fee is non-refundable in all circumstances, including where a booking is cancelled or rescheduled by you or by the practitioner. Any refund of your deposit will be made in accordance with the practitioner's cancellation policy.

5.3 Payment processing

All payments are processed by Stripe. AURA does not store card numbers, CVV codes, or any sensitive payment data. Your card details are handled directly by Stripe in accordance with PCI-DSS standards. By making a payment, you also agree to Stripe's Privacy Policy.

5.4 Currency

All amounts are in pounds sterling (GBP) unless stated otherwise.

6. Bookings, Amendments and Cancellations

6.1 Amendments by clients

Clients may reschedule a booking more than 24 hours before the appointment start time. Rescheduling is self-service via the confirmation link provided by email. The deposit carries over to the new appointment date and time.

Clients may not self-reschedule within 24 hours of the appointment. In this event, the deposit is forfeited in accordance with the practitioner's cancellation policy. Clients wishing to discuss late amendments must contact the practitioner directly.

6.2 Cancellations by practitioners

Where a practitioner cancels a confirmed appointment, the client is entitled to a full refund of any deposit paid. The £1 booking fee is non-refundable in all circumstances and is not returned in this event. AURA will facilitate the deposit refund via Stripe.

6.3 No-shows

Practitioners set their own no-show policy. AURA does not adjudicate disputes between practitioners and clients arising from no-shows.

6.4 Refund of the booking levy

The £1 booking levy is non-refundable in all circumstances — including client-initiated cancellations, practitioner-initiated cancellations, and rescheduling. The levy is retained by Aura Booking Limited in all cases. Please refer to our Refund and Cancellation Policy for full details.

7. Content and Conduct

All users agree not to:

Practitioners are additionally subject to the Acceptable Use Policy.

8. Limitation of Liability

8.1 Platform provided "as is"

AURA is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the platform's fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted availability, or freedom from errors.

8.2 No liability for treatment outcomes

AURA has no involvement in and accepts no liability for the quality, safety, or outcome of any treatment carried out by a practitioner. Any claim arising from a treatment must be directed to the practitioner and, where applicable, their insurer.

8.3 Indirect losses

To the fullest extent permitted by law, AURA shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, incidental, or special loss arising from use of the platform, including loss of revenue, loss of data, or business interruption.

8.4 Cap on liability

Our total liability to any practitioner or client arising from these Terms shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the amount paid to AURA in fees in the 12 months preceding the claim; or (b) £100.

8.5 Nothing in these Terms limits liability for:

9. Suspension and Termination

9.1 By AURA

AURA may suspend or terminate any account, with or without notice, where we have reasonable grounds to believe that:

Where suspension affects live bookings, AURA will take reasonable steps to notify affected clients.

9.2 By practitioners

Practitioners may close their account at any time by contacting support@aurabooking.co.uk. Pending bookings and any associated client data obligations survive account closure.

9.3 Effect of termination

On termination, your right to use the platform ceases immediately. AURA will retain data as required by law and as described in our Privacy Policy. Practitioners remain responsible for honouring any booked appointments that fall after the termination date.

10. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property in the AURA platform — including its design, code, branding, trademarks, and content produced by AURA — belongs to Aura Booking Limited or its licensors. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our intellectual property other than as necessary to use the platform in the ordinary course.

You retain ownership of content you upload to the platform (such as treatment descriptions and photos). By uploading content, you grant AURA a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, display, and use that content solely for the purpose of delivering the platform's services to you.

11. Data and Privacy

Your use of AURA involves the processing of personal data. Please read our Privacy Policy carefully — it explains what data we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and your rights as a data subject.

Aura Booking Limited is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) as a data controller.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will notify practitioners by email at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Your continued use of AURA after that date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Clients who make bookings will be presented with the current Terms at the time of booking.

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Scotland. Any dispute arising from or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Scottish courts, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection rights you may have under the law of another jurisdiction.
