Terms of Use, Legal and Disclaimer
 

Use
The copyrighted PSTEC process is not warranted in any way. Dealing with serious issues requires the user to think about those issues and to recall things which may be painful. The PSTEC process has been represented as fully and honestly as possible and this representation is based upon feeback already received but you should make your own decisions as regards its appropriateness for any particular issue or problem. No therapeutic method is perfect or absolutely suited to every user.
PSTEC is not advocated for children or under 18s. Neither is it advocated for pain control because whilst it may work you should always seek medical assistance for such problems. The process may trigger memories. If you have doubts about your ability to use the process then you may like to consider engaging the services of a therapist or mentor to guide you. Some people have reported physical responses. Some people have reported a churning in the stomach for emotional issues. Some people find the process tiring and so you may wish to avoid too many repetitions at any given time or to sleep on it afterwards. Occasionally people have reported other physical sensations including (very rarely) pain, which subsequently passed. You use the process at your own discretion and you accept full and sole liability for its use. Those with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, epilepsy or mental illnesses, or those who are receiving psychological treatment for a problem should always seek medical advice. Likewise if you are in any doubt as to its appropriateness for any issue or if you are medicating for a particular problem then you should seek professional advice. The information on this site should not be regarded as a substitute for the advice of a licensed medical practitioner and is not intended as such.
Professional Ethics: I expect therapists/counsellors and the like to use PSTEC ethically and also to behave in a professional manner. Therpaists/Counsellors and the like who purchase training materials and/or who choose to use the PSTEC logos or make reference to the registered PSTEC trademark may have their rights to do so completely removed if I (Tim Phizackerley) believe there is any doubt regarding their ethics or standard of behaviour. The same would apply if they are deemed by me to have behaved in any way which would bring disrepute to either PSTEC or myself. Under such circumstances notice would be given in writing and no further use of the PSTEC materials or trademarked name would be permitted in any way thereafter. Therapists advertising PSTEC are not vetted. Just because a therapist may be advertising PSTEC, it should not be taken as an endorsement of their ability, ethics or experience. Likewise inclusion of therapists trainers or coaches on any PSTEC website should not be regarded as an endorsement of eithe them, their ethics or their abilities. Opinions expressed by third parties: Opinions and claims made with regard to PSTEC by affiliates or by other third parties should not be accepted as fact. The PSTEC copyright holder will not be held liable for any claims of efficacy made by other people.

Copyright
PSTEC took a huge amount of work to develop and so the PSTEC process is the intellectual property of Tim Phizackerley (the copyright owner). The audio files and the process are subject to copyright which means that without signed, and witnessed prior written agreement from the copyright owner you can't sell them (see requests for commercial use). You cannot distribute them, or create derivatives but you are more than free to use them on yourself or if you are a therapist, in your practice for one to one therapy. In other words "DO GOOD WITH IT!". Access to the the PSTEC process offered to you to use for self help, or if you are a therapist to help your clients and your practice but only on a one to one basis. In other words you are free to access and use the process and the audio files to help people in that regard but ownership of PSTec™ and the process remains mine.
Use in 3rd party ventures:
Please remember that unauthorised distribution of the PSTEC audio is strictly prohibited. Therefore if you want to incorporate it in training materials or programmes, courses, CDs, books, other products or to use PSTEC as part of other commercial ventures then you must seek, and first be granted written permission by the copyright owner first. This applies to both profit and non-profit ventures. (See Requests and Enquiries Regarding Commercial Use; below). Copyright violations, either direct or by means of derivatives will be subject to legal action.

Limit of liability with respect to goods offered:
If any PSTEC products have been downloaded or purchased from this or other copyright holder licensed PSTEC websites, the total limit of liability will not exceed the purchase value under any circumstances. For example, and with regard to something such as a defective CD, it may either be refunded or replaced at our discretion. And in the event of a number of products being purchased, but only a fraction proving faulty, the liability would be determined on a proportionate basis. The purchaser may be asked to arrange return of the goods in order to obtain such recompense.

Jurisdiction:
Since PSTEC is British, use of PSTEC in any capacity constitutes an unconditional acceptance that only English Courts will have jurisdiction with regard to any dispute of any kind that may arise.

Requests and Enquiries Regarding Commercial Use
PSTEC is copyright. However since the PSTEC Percussive Suggestion Technique™ is so incredibly effective and so astonishingly predictable there may be those who would like to incorporate the technique into commercial ventures such as corporate training programmes, books, videos, audio programs, management or personal change training courses, CDs etc. All such use is prohibited without written permission from the copyright holder - Tim Phizackerley. However rather than be completely protectionist in this regard I (Tim Phizackerley) will be more than happy to discuss such things with you so please get in touch.
To discuss requests for commercial uses such as those just mentioned please call on the phone rather than by email since the PSTEC mailbox can get rather busy. Failure to do so and to get approval as stated above would constitute copyright infringement and legal action would be likely to follow.
--- Please Note: A special PSTEC package for corporate use exists. Please enquire ---
