  2. SIGNING UP FOR OUR SERVICES
    1. Below, we set out how a legally binding contract to buy services between you and us is made:
      1. You place an order either on the site by clicking on the relevant payment link placing your order and making payment does not, however, mean that your order has been accepted.
      2. Any quotation given by us before you place an order for services is not a legally binding offer by us to supply such services. Any prices set out in a quotation remain valid for 7 days.
      3. When you decide to place an order for services with us, this is when you make a legal offer to buy such services from us.
      4. We may contact you to say that we do not accept your order, for example, if we do not think our services are right for you or there has been a mistake in the pricing or description of the services, or our circumstances have changed since we gave you the quotation for the services.
      5. We shall only accept your order when we confirm this to you by sending you a confirmation email or start to provide the services, whichever happens, earlier. At this point:
        1. a legally binding contract will be in place between you and us, and
        2. We shall start to carry out the services as set out in the programme description on our website or in a services description agreed between us.
  3. CARRYING OUT THE SERVICES
    1. We shall carry out the services with reasonable care and skill.
    2. We shall carry out the services within the time period which is set out in the description of the relevant service.
    3. All coaching sessions whether in the program, group coaching or 1:1 (including rearranged sessions) must be taken within the timeframe specified in the description of the services or they will expire.
    4. You can rearrange any [one] coaching session during a coaching programme providing you give us at least 24 hours notice. If you give us less than 24 hours notice, fail to turn up for a session or have already rearranged one session in a coaching programme, you will be deemed to have taken the session and you will not be able to reschedule it or be entitled to any compensation for missing it.
    5. All sessions take place remotely via the means of communication agreed with you in advance.
    6. Please note that we may record our calls for training purposes and administration purposes and by entering into this contract with us you consent to the recording of our calls for these purposes. If you have signed up for one of my group programs, these recordings will be accessible to future students so please be aware when sharing information. All students agree to keep information shared in group sessions confidential.
    7. Our services might be affected by events beyond our reasonable control. If so, there might be a delay before we can restart the services. We shall make reasonable efforts to limit the effect of any of those events, we shall keep you informed of the circumstances and we shall try to restart the services as soon as those events have been fixed. Examples of events that might be beyond my reasonable control include illness, IT issues and problems with internet connectivity or if you change the services you require from us and we have to do extra preparation.
    8. Where a session or event is due to take place in person, we reserve the right to move that session online where circumstances make it necessary or preferable to do so.
    9. Brand design consulting services. If you have bought the brand design service, this service covers 7 days of design time, which includes:
      1. 4-days for creative planning and producing 3 brand routes to choose from.
      2. 2-day for the development of the chosen route, incorporating client amends.
      3. 1-day client amends and producing final files and a style guide.

    1. You will pay the price for the services in accordance with the services description.
    2. You will provide us with such information and assistance (and ensure that any information is complete and accurate) as we reasonably need to provide the services.
    3. We shall agree with you on a method of communicating with each other between sessions and adhere to that method if applicable to the service purchased.
    4. Coaching is not therapy or counselling.  It may involve all areas of your life. You acknowledge that deciding how to handle any issues which may arise, the choices you make in relation to them and whether or not you follow through on any agreed action is exclusively your responsibility.  For this reason, although we fully expect great results to come from our coaching sessions, we cannot guarantee any specific outcomes or that all clients will achieve the same results. The results are entirely dependent on your commitment and the effort you put into the programme and the actions we agree on.
    5. Our role is to offer you guidance and accountability and help you make positive business and lifestyle changes in order to make progress towards your business goals.  
    6. Coaching does not treat mental disorders and is not a substitute for counselling, mental health care or medical treatment of any kind. By entering into this agreement you confirm that you will not use it in place of any form of counselling, therapy or medical treatment. 
    7. If you are currently receiving treatment from a doctor or other healthcare professional, by entering into this agreement you confirm that you have consulted with this person regarding the advisability of working with a coach and that this person is aware of and supports your decision to proceed with the coaching programme described in the services description.
    8. You will keep us informed of any changes to your medical health or personal circumstances.
  5. CHARGES AND PAYMENT
    1. The price for the services is set out in the services description. When you purchase the service you agree to these terms and conditions, you confirm your commitment to the entire programme and you will be responsible for payment in full of the price for my services and you will not be entitled to any refunds.
    2. The services description will state if there is a payment plan. If there is a payment plan and you pay by credit or debit card, you authorise us to charge your payment method.  If you fail to make any of the payments on the due dates as set out in the service description, we will contact you to arrange immediate payment.  If after 7 days, the missed/failed payment hasn’t been paid we shall invoice you for the whole of any outstanding balance and payment for that invoice will be due by return.
    3. The fees are non-refundable except for where we cancel a programme (other than under 11.3 below), you are entitled to a partial refund for sessions that you have paid for in advance and which you have not received.
      1. In all other circumstances, we are not able to refund to you any of the payments you have made, even where you do not complete your sessions with us, as payment is for the programme as a whole, not individual sessions. This is a reflection of the amount of preparation we need to put into the programme to make it most effective for you and the amount of time we shall dedicate and set aside for preparing for and attending our sessions together. This policy also helps you with your own accountability and commitment to improving your business or career through our coaching programme. 
      2. In view of my clear no-refund policy, we do not accept any type of chargeback threat or actual chargeback from your credit or debit card company. In the event that a chargeback is placed on a purchase or we receive a chargeback threat during or after your purchase, we reserve the right to report the incident to credit reporting agencies or to any other entity for inclusion in a chargeback database or for listing as non-payment on your account which could have a negative impact on your credit rating.
