1

Check your current agreement

Pabau's terms (checked 17 October 2026) describe a 30-day rolling contract with 30 days' notice for monthly plans, and prepaid plans that renew unless you give written notice at least 30 days before the term ends. Pabau retains data for 90 days after termination, then deletes it. Check your own agreement, notice periods and how to export your records. This is not legal advice.

2

Keep the right records ready

Review clinical notes, signed forms, images and required audit history alongside future treatments and balances. Confirm prescribing, lab and other specialist services before cutover. Agree what can be imported and what needs separate handling.

3

Give clients one clear booking route

Give clients and staff a clear date for new Managed bookings. Check future appointments, team members, services, reminders, deposits and balances, then agree how to handle any problems.
