Placenta Services Waiver

I understand that in acknowledgement of placental practices, choosing to encapsulate my placenta is not intended to prevent or treat any physical or mental diseases, ailments or symptoms and that I am choosing to consume my placenta for my own personal beliefs, whether it be spiritual or cultural. 

I also acknowledge that there are no statewide regulations preventing me from obtaining and encapsulating my placenta. I understand that the act of ingesting my placenta in any form has not been tested, nor approved by the FDA, and I ingest this at my own risk.

Furthermore, I release my placenta specialist, Haley Harris, from any liability. I understand that my specialist is not a medical professional and will not diagnose, treat or prescribe for any health condition. Services and fees are for the preparation and encapsulation of your placenta and not for the sale of the pills.

I understand that my placenta will be handled and encapsulated according to OSHA and Texas Food Safety and Handling standards, and will be cleaned, steamed, dehydrated and put into pill form in a sanitary and sterile work space. Upon receiving my placenta capsules from my specialist, I waive any and all rights to hold them responsible for any undesired effect of consuming the capsules. I do not hold my specialist responsible or liable for any transport mishap that is beyond their control (ex. car accident or detainment), and understand that I am choosing to have them encapsulate my placenta in their home.

I understand that it is my responsibility to handle and store the placenta in a way that retains its freshness before it is in the possession of my specialist. 

I affirm that I am free from Hepatitis B and HIV, and that in order for my placenta to be able to be processed and consumed that baby and I must be free from infection during labor and for 24 hours after birth. If an infection presents before the 24 hour mark, but after the placenta is in the possession of my specialist, I will inform my specialist as soon as possible and understand that my placenta will no longer be able to be consumed, as it is also infected. In this case, if this is communicated within 24 hours of the birth and before the encapsulation process is started, then my specialist will offer either a full refund for encapsulation services or to transfer the funds to other services.

If the contract is terminated after releasing the placenta to the specialist but before any preparation has begun, the placenta will be returned for disposal.    

There will be no refund and payment will be due in full once preparation has begun. 

If my placenta is not encapsulated in my own home, I put full trust and acknowledgement that it is being handled in a sanitary and safe environment. Haley will provide a written explanation of the proper storing and handling of the finished placenta capsules and guidelines for daily ingestion. 

I understand that upon receiving the pills, my specialist is no longer liable, including but not limited to any adverse reactions to my placenta capsules, or any other person(s) ingesting my own placenta capsules. I will inform Haley of any allergies prior to the encapsulation process.

I give my permission to my specialist to photograph my placenta before, during and after processing and use those photographs as desired for marketing, advertising, educational and/or promotional reasons in print or on the internet. I understand that no personal information will be associated with these photographs.

By clicking I CONSENT when submitting a contract for placenta services I acknowledge that I have read, understand and agree to the terms above.
