Terms & Conditions
These terms and conditions govern your use of eicadd.com and your dealings through it with EICADD Early Intervention Centers for Autism and Developmental Disorders. By using the website or contacting us through it, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree with any part of them, please do not use the website.
Acceptance and scope
These terms form a binding agreement between you and EICADD centers ("we" or "the center") concerning the use of the website in all its languages and pages, and any content, form or contact service we make available through it.
Assessment, intervention and training services delivered inside the center are governed by a separate service agreement and informed-consent forms signed by the parent or guardian or the trainee before the service begins. Where these terms conflict with the service agreement, the service agreement prevails in respect of services delivered inside the center.
These terms are to be read together with the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy and the Disclaimer, all of which form an integral part of this agreement.
Definitions
- "Website": eicadd.com and all its subdomains, pages and associated content.
- "User" or "you": any person who browses the website or contacts us through it.
- "Parent or guardian": the father, mother or legal guardian authorised to make decisions on behalf of the child.
- "Services": the assessment, early-intervention, individual-session, training and certification services provided by the center.
- "Content": all text, images, videos, graphics, logos, software and data published on the website.
- "AI tools": the AI-based devices and software the center uses to support assessment.
Who may use the website
The website is aimed at adults: parents and guardians, professionals and interested members of the public. You must be at least 18 years old to use the website, contact us through it, book, or enrol in a training program.
When you contact us about a child, you confirm that you are their parent or legal guardian, or that you are authorised by the parent or guardian to do so. The website provides no services directed at children themselves.
By using the website you confirm that the information you provide to us is accurate and up to date, and you undertake to update it when it changes.
Nature and limits of the content
Content published on the website is informational and educational in nature, and describes the services offered by EICADD centers and the methodologies they use. It is not an individual assessment, not an intervention plan and not individual professional advice, and it does not replace a direct assessment inside the center or a consultation with a qualified specialist.
Any figures, percentages or outcomes mentioned on the website describe the performance of our tools, our past experience or the results of specific studies. They are not a promise or guarantee of a similar result in any particular case. Each child's progress depends on multiple factors that are assessed individually.
We make reasonable efforts to keep the content accurate and current, but we do not warrant that it is complete, error-free or suitable for any particular case. See the Disclaimer page for further details.
Services delivered inside the center
Assessment, intervention and individual sessions are delivered at the center's two branches in Amman and Ajman, by a team of qualified specialists, according to an individual intervention plan prepared after a direct assessment of the child.
- No service begins before the parent or guardian has signed the service agreement and the informed-consent form and provided the center with the necessary information about the child.
- The center reserves the right to accept or decline to provide a service for any case it considers to require a different specialism or facility, and will refer the family to the most appropriate provider.
- Costs, expected duration and realistic expectations are explained to the family before the service begins and documented in the service agreement.
- The center is a rehabilitation and early-intervention center, not a hospital or emergency facility, and it does not provide emergency services.
Booking, appointments and cancellation
Sending a message, calling us, contacting us on WhatsApp, or submitting any form on the website does not constitute a confirmed booking. An appointment is confirmed only once the center's team has expressly confirmed it with you through a direct channel.
- Please arrive with sufficient time before your appointment. Late arrival may shorten the session in order to respect other families' appointments.
- To cancel or reschedule an appointment, please notify us at least 24 hours in advance. The policy on cancellation, repeated no-shows and any resulting charges is set out in the service agreement.
- The center may reschedule an appointment in exceptional circumstances, such as a specialist's absence or force majeure, and will notify you as early as possible and offer an alternative.
Fees and payment
Any prices or fees mentioned on the website or in initial communication are indicative and subject to change, and do not constitute a binding offer. The final fees for each service are set out in the service agreement or in the written quotation issued by the relevant branch.
- Fees are paid in the local currency of the branch (Jordanian dinar or UAE dirham) by the payment methods accepted at that branch, and an invoice is issued for every payment.
- Prices include applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.
- The website accepts no direct online payments, and we never ask you to enter bank-card details through the website. Beware of any page or message claiming to do so in our name.
- Refund conditions and unused balances are governed by the service agreement, without prejudice to your rights under applicable consumer-protection laws.
Training and certification programs
The center offers training and certification programs for professionals and parents. Enrolment is subject to the following:
- Enrolment is confirmed once the admission requirements are met and the agreed fees are paid.
- Certificates are awarded to those who meet the attendance and assessment requirements set for each program. A certificate issued by EICADD attests to completion of the program according to our standards. It is not a professional licence or a governmental accreditation unless expressly stated in the program description.
- Training materials are licensed to the trainee for personal use only, and may not be copied, distributed or used to deliver similar training without written permission.
- The center may cancel or withdraw a certificate if it is shown to have been obtained dishonestly or misused.
- The center may change program dates or content, or cancel a program that has not reached its minimum enrolment, in which case fees paid for it are refunded in full.
AI tools and assessment tools
The center uses innovative AI-based assessment tools to support the work of its specialists. You acknowledge that you understand the following:
- These tools are an aid that complements the specialist's assessment and does not replace it. Their results are interpreted and approved by a qualified specialist.
- The accuracy figures mentioned on the website are derived from specific studies and data, and individual results may vary.
- These tools are never used to make a fully automated decision affecting the child, and the parent or guardian always has the right to request a human review.
- These tools are not available remotely or through the website, and their results are provided only in the context of an assessment inside the center.

Dispute resolution
We believe most disagreements can be resolved through dialogue. If any dispute or complaint arises, please contact us first at info@eicadd.com or through the management of the relevant branch, and we will seek to resolve it amicably within 30 days of receiving the complaint. If an amicable resolution is not possible, either party may refer the matter to the competent courts named above, or to any alternative dispute-resolution mechanism the parties agree on in writing.
