These terms & conditions go hand-in-hand and form part of your Agreement. Please make sure that you read them thoroughly and understand fully the nature and scope of our coaching relationship.

DISCLAIMER: Coaching takes place through a strategic relationship – Client & Coach – in which through a thought-provoking and creative process the Client may be inspired to maximize personal and professional potential. It is designed to facilitate the identification of the wants and desires of the Client regarding their personal, professional or business goals, and then designing and developing their own personal strategy and plan to achieve these goals that the Client will then be responsible to execute and carry out.

1. The relationship between Coach and Client is that of principal and independent contractor. The Agreement does not make either party a joint venture, partner, employee or agent of the other.
2. The Coach agrees to maintain the ethics and best practice standards of the generally accepted industry practice and standards.
3. The Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing his/her own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results arising out of or resulting from the coaching relationship and his/her coaching calls and interactions with the Coach. As such, the Client agrees that the Coach is not and will not be liable or responsible for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services provided by the Coach. The Client understands coaching is not therapy and does not substitute for therapy if needed, and does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease.
4. Client further acknowledges that he/she may terminate or discontinue the coaching relationship at any time.
5. Client acknowledges that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of his or her life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation. The Client agrees that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporate coaching principles into those areas and implementing choices is exclusively the Client’s
6. Client acknowledges that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders and that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for counselling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, or other professional advice by legal, medical or other qualified professionals and that it is the Client’s exclusive responsibility to seek such independent professional guidance as needed. If the Client is currently under the care of a mental health professional, it is recommended that the Client promptly inform the mental health care provider of the nature and extent of the coaching relationship agreed upon by the Client and the Coach.
7. The Client understands that in order to enhance the coaching relationship, the Client agrees to communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance and to create the time and energy to participate fully in the program. Where possible, the Client should ensure that there is as little background noise/distraction, so that they can get the most from each coaching call and be heard easily by the Coach.
8. The Client should expect that they will have weekly commitments, reflective exercises or tools to incorporate into their lifestyle, and has set aside the necessary time to be able to fully commit to the process, not merely the time for the call each week. In order to facilitate this process, the Client understands and accepts that at the end of each call they may be asked “what are you committed to this week?” and will be expected to commit to a specific action of their choosing.
9. Results of the services vary from person to person. For this reason, performance, progress and success are reliant on the Client meeting their own commitments. The Coach cannot and does not guarantee any particular or any results and the Client is solely responsible for their progress. If at any time during the services the Client feels their progress is not as expected, it is the responsibility of the Client to advise the Coach immediately of any concerns in order to give the Coach an opportunity to address and assist. The Coach will use any and all reasonable efforts to solve these concerns. Nonetheless, the Coach does not guarantee or warrant any increase or altered progress or performance.

The parties agree to engage in the Coaching Program agreed upon in the Agreement. 

The Coach will be available to Client by e-mail, text and telephone. Unless otherwise negotiated with Coach, Coach is not available to review documents, read or write reports, or engage in other client-related services outside of coaching hours.

This Agreement is valid as of the Effective Date of the first payment.

REFUND POLICY: I do not offer refunds on coaching services, as I expect you to show up to your highest level of success. Part of your commitment is that you are fully invested in the coaching process, to get the outcomes you have identified as being meaningful to you. You need to be 100% committed to this process, in every way.

That said, I will consider postponing sessions or part of the coaching package, should you suffer a family emergency (critical injury or death of a significant other/child). 

Should I, the Coach, have a family emergency; the Client will have the option of either:

1. Rescheduling of the remaining coaching sessions; or
2. Pro-rated refund of the fees based on the number of coaching sessions that the Client has received to date.

The Client agrees to collaborate with Coach to set weekly calls.

This coaching relationship, as well as all information (documented or verbal) that the Client shares with the Coach as part of this relationship, is bound by the principles of confidentiality and laws applicable to the Coach and Client.

The Client also acknowledges his or her continuing obligation to raise any confidentiality questions or concerns with the Coach in a timely manner.

In the event of termination without cause by the Coach, the Coach shall refund to the Client the pro-rated basis of fees, according to the coaching sessions remaining under the Agreement.

However, the Agreement may be terminated with cause by the Coach, at their sole discretion, should the Client become disruptive to Coach, fail to follow the guidelines provided by the Coach, be difficult to work with, consistently fail to complete the agreed-upon work between coaching sessions, or the Coach believe that the working relationship has broken down, including a loss of confidence and trust, which has the effect of compromising the Coach’s ability to perform the services under the Agreement.

Except as expressly provided in these Terms & Conditions, the Coach makes no guarantees, representations or warranties of any kind or nature, express or implied with respect to the coaching services negotiated, agreed upon and rendered. In no event shall the Coach be liable to the Client for any indirect, consequential or special damages.

The Coach is not an employee, agent, doctor, manager, therapist, public relations or business manager, registered dietician, financial analyst or adviser, psychotherapist, or accountant. While Coach is a lawyer, in no way has the Coach offered any legal services or advice to the Client, and the Client-Coach relationship shall in no way be construed to be for legal services or advice of any nature or kind.

Therefore, the Client understands that the Coach has not promised, shall not provide and will not:

Furthermore, some of the services covered in the coaching may involve health or other personal management discussions. These services and the information provided should not replace discussions with a qualified healthcare or other relevant professionals and should not be used to diagnose or replace any professional treatment and/or management of any condition. Any decision about the Client’s treatment and management of any condition should be made with the relevant healthcare professional, and the Client agrees and acknowledges that any reliance on any information, discussion or recommendation is done at their own risk.

The Client is at all times responsible for their own physical health and emotional well-being.

By engaging the Coach, the Client agrees that they alone are responsible for all outcomes and achievements by participating in the Services and the Coach cannot guarantee nor be responsible for any results, no matter how incurred.

These Terms & Conditions shall be construed as forming an integral part of the Agreement between the Coach and the Client, reflecting the complete understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter. The Agreement, read together with these Terms & Conditions, supersedes all prior written and oral representations. The Agreement may not be amended, altered or supplemented except in writing signed by both the Coach and the Client.

If a dispute arises out of the Agreement that cannot be resolved by mutual consent, the Client and Coach agree to attempt to mediate in good faith for up to 30 days after the notice is given. If the dispute is not so resolved, and in the event of legal action, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover attorney’s fees and court costs from the other party.

If any provision of the Agreement and these Terms & Conditions shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable. If the Court finds that any provision of the Agreement and these Terms & Conditions is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision it would become valid and enforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.

The failure of either party to enforce any provision of the Agreement and these Terms & Conditions shall not be construed as a waiver or limitation of that party’s right to subsequently enforce and compel strict compliance with every provision of the Agreement and these Terms & Conditions.
