4.

4.ii. If you choose to correct or supplement the information before the end of the consultation (cf. Clause III-1.i.2), then it will be considered to be part of the same consultation and you will not be charged further (unless you choose to undertake a change in the type of consultation).

It is understood that, in certain cases, further research will be needed and I reserve the right to consult further sources (whether in the form of written or oral materials, or in the form of personal dialogue with another professional or expert) for my own information where relevant to the consultation question as provided by the client. This does not mean that any third-party disclosure of personal information will arise from this consultation of further sources (cf. Clause IV for more details on confidentiality).

Clause VII (Use of Information) for more details).
8. It is understood by the client that the use of unpublished data as researched by Helidth Ravenholm or another expert consulted under the circumstances of Clause II-6 is valid and has equal weight as published data. The process of research signifies that data and information may be acquired and known as valid and significant before it may be published and that the delay between the acquisition of the information and its publication may be considerable due to this process of research.
8.i. Unpublished Data is understood to include any observations, theories, analyses and/or other academic data (not excluding conversations) that are not published in an academic journal or in a book at the time of use.
9. It is understood that questions pertaining to Helidth Ravenholm's personal life are not consultations and will not be treated as such.

9. Helidth Ravenholm does not state herself to be a psychiatrist or a psychologist and a consultation with Culture Contact is not a substitute for a psychological or psychiatric evaluation. Culture Contact's consultations serve a complimentary function and are not to be treated as a psychological or psychiatric evaluation or treatment in their own right. Culture Contact is not responsible should your psychiatrist or psychologist disagree with the consultation results and your usage of the consultation is down to the client's discretion.
10. If the information provided by the consultation is considered to be illegal, subversive or otherwise non-desirable by the country or state in which the client is at the time of the consultation, Culture Contact is not responsible for any consequences that might arise nor is Helidth Ravenholm legally responsible for it.

11.i. The client is responsible to maintain the privacy of their email and their communications with Culture Contact.
11.ii. It is understood that an individual that is very familiar with the client may be able to impersonate the client in such a way that Culture Contact may not be able to recognise the impersonation.

11.iii.1. The client is expected to keep the memorable question and answer secret and to delete the email containing those details from their email account.
11.iii.2. Culture Contact will use the memorable question and answer to identify the client at the beginning of a Personal Consultation to ensure the identity of the client.
11.iv. Should a client share an email with another individual, Culture Contact strongly advises that the client creates a separate free email account should the topic of consultation be such that they wish to keep it personal and not inform the other individual of the consultation.
11.v. Should it become apparent that the client has been impersonated, Culture Contact will endeavour to turn over all relevant information to the relevant law enforcement.
