Ownzone terms and conditions are simple and straightforward, but if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask by contacting us at info@ownzonespace.co.uk.

About our terms and conditions

Ownzone is operated by Ownzone Space Limited and is registered at Harolds Barn, Twyning Green, Gloucestershire GL20 6DF, registration number 11491886.

These terms and conditions apply to all therapists, consultants and other practitioners and individuals who hire a room at our premises at 9, Lansdown, Stroud, Gloucester GL5 1BB. Our rooms are made available for you to hire to consult with any client(s) of yours to enable you to provide therapy and counselling services according to your professional insurances and qualifications.

In order to use our facilities and services we require you to provide us with some basic information by completing a short online registration form.  This form asks for contact information, a description of your area of expertise, accreditation and confirmation that you hold current professional indemnity insurance which is applicable to the treatment that you are providing to your clients.  We reserve the right to verify any professional qualifications and insurance.

By providing these details to us, you agree that we may securely hold your personal information records and use them as required in our business.  This will always be in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Once you have completed the registration process and we have activated your online account, you are provided access to the booking and payment platform.

You will also be provided with your unique code to enter both the front door and the internal door for your client(s) consultation.

What Ownzone provides

1. Ownzone commits to providing a comfortable, secure and private room for you to meet your clients. To this end, please alert us at info@ownzonespace.co.uk of any maintenance issues, so they can be rectified in a timely manner. Ownzone does not supply panic alarms, as members are expected to ensure their own safety when arranging meetings with clients.
2. Once you have booked and paid, you will be able to use your pre-selected room for the allocated time. Your door code will only activate the doors for your booked time. At all other times it will be deactivated.
3. Ownzone will keep you informed of all pertinent news and information. Please inform us if you believe we are retaining or using your personal data incorrectly.
