Zeel’s Policy on Inappropriate Client Behavior & Provider Safety

Your Right to Leave an Appointment

Zeel fully supports your decision to leave any appointment for any reason. If a client behaves inappropriately:

  1. End the session immediately.

  2. Leave the location.

  3. Contact Zeel—all feedback is confidential.

Your safety is the top priority.

How to Handle Inappropriate Client Behavior

🔹 At the first sign of odd or suspicious behavior:

  • Break contact—this signals that you recognize something is off.

  • Check in with the client to see if it’s a comfort issue.

  • If the behavior continues, express your discomfort and ask them to stop.

🔹 If the inappropriate behavior does not stop:

  • Take your hands off the client and cover them.

  • If at a spa:

    • Turn the lights up.

    • Place their robe within reach.

    • Politely end the session and leave the room.

  • If at a client’s home:

    • Collect your things.

    • Leave the premises immediately.

    • Report the incident to Zeel.

  • If at a spa:

    • Report the incident to the spa manager or manager on duty.

    • Then report the incident to Zeel.

🚨 Zeel has a strict zero-tolerance policy for:

  • Threats or threatening behavior

  • Acts of sexual misconduct

  • Conversations or behaviors suggesting sexual activity

This applies to providers, clients, and any other individuals present during an appointment.

✅ Conduct a thorough investigation.
✅ Conduct phone and/or in-person interviews if necessary.
✅ Engage legal counsel if needed.
✅ Cooperate with the proper authorities.
