Terms of agreement

Last updated on May 23, 2022

By clicking ACCEPT, you acknowledge, understand, and abide by the following terms and conditions:

  1. It might take up to 5 days for Dr. Engelbrecht RP ND to get back to you after your payment has been processed with the instructions and links to the tests.
  2. You acknowledge that it may require 8–10 weeks from the time of uploading your screening assessment documents before your assessment is completed and sent to you, and that at times, it may be a slightly longer time.
  3. You acknowledge that it may take 12–16 weeks from the time of uploading your diagnostic assessment documents before Dr. Engelbrecht RP ND processes your assessment, and contacts you about the virtual interview.
  4. You acknowledge that the interview booking process is determined by available space and that the calendar fills up quickly, so it can take up to 8–10 weeks to obtain an interview to complete the diagnostic process.
  5. If you have not heard from us within 8–16 weeks of submitting your documents, please:
    • Check your junk mailbox first for emails from us.
    • If you haven’t received anything in your inbox, contact Dr. Natalie Engelbrecht RP ND’s assistant.
    • Alternatively, call our office at 1 905 845 4994 and leave a brief message with your name, client number, and the reason for your call.
  6. You acknowledge that you have 30 days to download your test results after completing the tests—and after that, they are only available with an additional fee of CA$30.
  7. If you choose to prematurely cancel the autism assessment process, we will withold CA$100 from your refund to cover our expenses.
  8. Once you have uploaded the documents and test results for either your screening or diagnostic assessment, if you choose to prematurely cancel the assessment, we will withhold CA$250 to cover the costs of already having started the work on the assessment.
  9. If you decide to cancel the screening or diagnostic after a considerable amount of work has been done on the assessment, we will only refund for the time that has not been used up to that point. This is up to our discretion.
  10. If you choose to cancel days or weeks before the final reports, you will not receive an incomplete report—or indeed any report.
  11. You have up to 3 months after purchasing your screening or diagnostic to complete all the psychometric tests and upload your documents.
  12. You acknowledge that 6 months after purchase, no refund will be issued.
  13. The prices of any of our services or products may be subject to change at any time.
  14. Embrace Autism does not communicate with insurance companies, nor do we provide direct billing for Dr. Engelbrecht ND RP’s and Dr. Jagpreet Arora’s services to insurance companies. If you have insurance coverage, you may be able to receive reimbursement from your insurance company, but you will have to check into their policies. If you discover after having initiated the process that your insurance company does not cover our services and you wish to cancel the assessment, then you are only eligible for a refund for work not yet completed, as long as none of the other criterion above have lapsed.
  15. Any rude or disrespectful behaviour towards any employee, staff or doctors of Embrace Autism will not be tolerated.

Acknowledgments

By agreeing to the terms and conditions above, you acknowledge that:

  1. You are 18 years or older.

If you choose to communicate confidential information (PHI) via email, an informed decision will be assumed and viewed as your agreement to take the risk that emails may be intercepted.
  5. The screening is not an autism diagnosis in itself, but serves as a report that suggest that the psychometrics and information you provided are consistent with autism traits, and that the pursuit of a formal assessment is warranted should you desire.
  6. These terms of agreement are subject to change at any time.
  7. Any legal disputes will be settled in Ontario, Canada, based on the current laws of that province.
