4. Confidentiality and data protection
4.1 I shall treat all your personal information (including our discussions, whether held in person or by phone, and any correspondence between us, including by email) confidentially. I shall not divulge any part thereof to any third party unless required to do so by statutory or any other legal authority.
4.2 I shall always ask you in advance for your written permission before releasing your name as referee.
4.3 You have the right to request at any time a copy of the personal information that is held about you. To request a copy of your personal information, please contact me. I reserve the right charge a small fee (of no more than £10) for providing this information.
5. Fee and payment
5.1 The Fee for the Services shall be as set out on my website unless agreed otherwise between us. I shall confirm the Fee amount at the time you make your booking and notify you of payment arrangements.
5.2 You shall be liable for and make all payments in time and in accordance with the payment arrangements as agreed between us in advance of all scheduled coaching calls, meetings, or events.
6. Cancellation of a session
6.1 In the event that you are unable to keep an appointment for a session, I require you to give me at least 24 hours’ notice in advance of the appointment. I shall then use my reasonable endeavours to reschedule the appointment for you within that same week, if possible.
6.2 Sessions may not be cancelled or carried over to future dates, only rescheduled where possible. In the event that you do not give me 24 hours’ notice of cancellation, or rescheduling within that same week is not possible, you will be invoiced for the full Fee and will be liable to pay the same.
6.3 In the event that I cancel a session, I shall offer you a new date for the same and no additional Fee shall be payable by you. If such date is not reasonably acceptable to you, I shall refund the Fee in the event that you have already paid the same.
7. Termination
7.1 You may terminate the Services at any time by telephoning or emailing me to inform me of your decision, and such terminations may be made at the end of any 4 week billing cycle. Refunds (for any unused session(s)) will also be made at the end of any 4 week billing cycle.
7.2 I reserve the right to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect if, at my sole discretion, I deem you to be committing, or to have committed, a breach of the Agreement (which shall include, by way of example, but shall not be limited to, late or non-payment for the Services, failure by you to attend or your lateness for calls, meetings or events, and/or threatening, abusive, or inappropriate behaviour towards me).
8. Limitation of liability
I cannot guarantee clients’ results. Clients’ lives, decisions, actions and results are their own responsibility. While I will work with clients to identify solutions to their problems, I cannot warrant that any methods, sessions or activities will work in their specific situation. You therefore agree not to hold me liable for any loss or damage or cost incurred by you or anyone related or associated to you (including without limitation, any direct, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damages, or any loss of income, profits, goodwill, data, contracts, and whether in tort (including without limitation negligence), contract or otherwise) that may result in connection with the Services or your use of my information products and similar resources.
9. Your warranty
You warrant that you are of sound health, do not have a history of mental illness and are not seeing a therapist. If you are ill or seeing a therapist, or start to do so after you begin coaching with me, you warrant that you have the express permission of your therapist, or in the case of illness, will cancel any session(s) if you are not well enough to continue. In the event that you breach this Clause 9, I shall treat such breach as a termination event in accordance with Clause 7.2, and I shall terminate this Agreement immediately and refund any unused Fee.
10. Force majeure
I shall not be liable to you or deemed to be in breach of this Agreement by reason of any delay in performing or any failure to perform any of my obligations in relation to the Services, if the delay or failure was due to any cause beyond my reasonable control.
11. Severability
If any part of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or other competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, then such part will be severed from this Agreement, the remainder of which will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
12. Governing law
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law and the parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
I, the Client, understand and accept that appending my signature or typing my name on this document by any means constitutes my agreement to the terms and conditions set out above.
