Fees are payable in advance of each coaching session unless otherwise agreed (Business Coaching may allow for payment on receipt of invoice). Where payment has not been received by Kelly in advance of a coaching session David is not obliged to provide the session.
Where payment is required on receipt of invoice rather than in advance, a charge may be levied for late payment.
Between Sessions
Kelly may assign the client tasks or exercises to complete between coaching sessions. There is no obligation on the client to complete these items of ‘homework’, but not doing so may slow the client's progress in gaining improved quality of life or achieving desired business or personal outcomes.
Where possible, clients are requested to submit any information requested by Kelly relating to assignments at least 24 hours before the coaching session when they are to be discussed. Kelly will provide feedback on completed assignments during coaching sessions.
The client may contact Kelly by limited e-mail between sessions to seek clarification regarding anything arising from a coaching session or for administrative purposes (e.g. where a client needs to rearrange a coaching session or make a payment). Additional coaching can also be provided between sessions but there will be an additional charge for this. Kelly will always advise a client in advance if the nature of a client's contact is likely to incur an additional charge and no such charges will be imposed without the client's agreement.
Rearranging Sessions
If a client needs to rearrange a coaching session, they should provide at least 48 hours notice. No refunds will be given to clients for unused coaching sessions unless 24 hours notice has been given. If a session has been scheduled but not paid for in advance, and is canceled within 24 hours, or is a no show, client will be billed for that session and must remit payment immediately. In exceptional circumstances Kelly may need to rearrange a coaching session. In those instances she will also give the client 48 hours notice where practical.
Where a client pays for a session or sessions in advance they must have the coaching session(s) that they have paid for within 6 months of the payment or their fee is forfeited.
Confidentiality
Personal information or business information supplied by clients in coaching sessions will be treated as confidential. It will not be disclosed to a third party without the client's prior permission, save where required by law or where action might be necessary to prevent harm to the client or someone else.
Guarantee
Any client who is dissatisfied with any coaching session can ask for a full refund for that particular session and this will be given, provided that the request for a refund has been made within one week of completion of the coaching session. If a client obtains a refund for a coaching session in accordance with this clause, then the client and Kelly each have the option to terminate this contract immediately, confirming such termination by email or letter. If either party does terminate this contract in such circumstances then Kelly will have no obligation to provide any further coaching sessions to the client and the client will in turn will be entitled to a full refund for any future coaching sessions for which they have already paid which are no longer to be provided. If client purchased a package, then any sessions previously completed will not be refundable based on a fee of $200 per session, no matter the total package price.
Early termination
In exceptional circumstances, such as illness or unavailability due to bereavement or other commitments, inappropriate behavior by the client, actual or potential conflict of interest, or other reasons, Kelly can decide to terminate the service to the client early or refuse or be unable to provide further coaching sessions to the client. In such a circumstance the client will be given reasonable notice of termination by Kelly where practicable and will be refunded any advance payments made for coaching sessions not yet provided.
The client is entitled to terminate the service early at any time by giving written notice by email or letter, whether or not they are using the “Guarantee” clause above. Such notice will take immediate effect as soon as it is received by Kelly. In such a circumstance the client will be entitled to a full refund for any coaching sessions already paid for but not yet provided to the client and you will not be required to make any payment for coaching sessions not yet provided to the client.
Responsibilities
Kelly will seek to enable the client to improve their quality of life or level of business success and to achieve their desired outcomes. Remarkable results can be achieved where clients follow a clear plan in a committed way. However, the client has sole responsibility for taking important decisions in their life or business. Kelly has no liability for any loss incurred by any client, whether financial or otherwise, following commencement of coaching sessions, or for any perceived failure by the client, whether justified or otherwise, to achieve a material improvement in quality of life or business or to achieve their desired outcomes or goals.
Variation of Terms and Conditions
Where an Initial Number of Sessions is agreed, any changes to these terms and conditions intended to take effect prior to the conclusion of those Initial Number of Sessions will only have effect if agreed by both Kelly and the client and confirmed by Kelly in writing by email or letter. In other cases, Kelly may change any of these terms or conditions including the Per Session Fee by giving the client one week’s notice in writing by letter or e-mail of the change(s). If following receipt of such notification of change, the client no longer wishes to proceed with further coaching sessions, they may withdraw from the service immediately by giving notice in writing by email or letter and they will then be entitled to a full refund of any fees paid in advance for coaching sessions not yet provided. Such notice will be effective on receipt by Kelly.
