Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you use the website.

If you do not agree with these Terms and Conditions or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the website.
This website is intended for users who are 18 years of age or older. By accessing this website, you confirm that you are legally of age to enter into a binding contract with us and that you meet all the eligibility criteria mentioned above.

Appointments
Making an appointment with Alpas Home Service is easy and convenient. You can schedule your appointment through various channels, including:
- Our website
- Social media accounts
- Phone
- Text
We offer appointments of various durations starting from 30 minutes. For one-way transportation, there’s a minimum fee of Php100, which may vary based on the distance.
Booking Requirements
- A minimum service booking of Php800 (excluding transportation) is required to proceed with the booking.
- Any additional requests or changes to a booking should be submitted through a separate form, along with payment.
- To approve a booking, a down payment of Php250.00 is necessary. If the down payment was not made during the initial submission of the booking form, we will notify you via SMS and/or email regarding the necessary down payment details.
Booking Guidelines
- Bookings should be made at least 4 hours before the appointment time. While we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests, therapist availability may vary.
Payment Method
- We offer two payment options: bank transfer or GCash. Your booking will be confirmed once payment is received, which you can process at www.AlpasHomeService.com/payment/.
- Upon completing the full payment, you will receive an email and SMS containing a summary of your booking details.
Cancellation
- Cancellation Policy: 24 hours. Please notify us as soon as possible if you anticipate being unable to attend your appointment due to foreseeable events, such as illness or adverse weather conditions.
- We require a minimum of 24 hours’ notice for appointment cancellations. Failure to provide this notice will result in forfeiture of the Php250.00 down payment fee. This policy is in place because we may be unable to fill your appointment slot and still need to cover our costs.
- However, if you need to cancel your appointment at short notice due to emergencies, a fluctuating long-term medical condition, or if you are more than 37 weeks pregnant, we will assess the cost implications on a case-by-case basis.
- Late Arrivals: It’s important to adhere to our agreed appointment time and duration. While we understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, such as arriving slightly late or needing to leave earlier than planned, missed time cannot be compensated by extending subsequent appointments.
Client-Therapist Confidentiality
At Alpas Home Service, we prioritize the confidentiality of our clients and therapists alike. All client information and treatment records are securely safeguarded and treated with utmost confidentiality. Without your explicit consent or unless required by law, we do not share, sell, or distribute any of the information you provide us.
Your consultations and treatment details are strictly kept between you and your therapist, except in specific cases such as when the client is a minor or requires a caregiver.
To ensure the integrity of your information, we employ stringent security measures against unauthorized access, disclosure, or processing. These measures encompass physical, electronic, and managerial protocols to prevent any unauthorized handling, accidental loss, or damage. We retain your information for a reasonable period or as mandated by law.
Each therapist contracted with Alpas Home Service has access to client records solely for the duration of their contract and exclusively for providing appropriate treatment.
Health and Safety
At Alpas Home Service, all therapists are certified and highly trained massage therapists and spa specialists.
Considering the close contact involved in massage therapy, it is imperative that both our therapists and clients uphold stringent standards of personal hygiene.
If a therapist is unwell, experiencing symptoms such as a cold, virus, infection, or general ill health, they will be unable to perform their duties to prevent any risks of cross-contamination. In such cases, Alpas Home Service will promptly notify you and make suitable alternative arrangements.
Clients are kindly requested not to attend their massage appointments if they are feeling unwell or experiencing symptoms such as a cold, virus, infection, or general ill health. Please notify Alpas Home Service via phone, text, social media platforms, or email as soon as possible to reschedule your appointment. Please note that our Cancellation Policy may still apply even if you inform us of your illness.
Clients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian during their appointment.
Alpas Home Service reserves the right to refuse treatment if a client displays any form of physical or verbal abuse towards our therapists or engages in inappropriate, aggressive, or sexual behavior. Such behavior may result in partial or complete banning from Alpas Home Service and could lead to legal action.
