Waiver

I hereby release, waive, acquit and forever discharge my Coach, any agents, successors, assigns, personal representatives, executors, heirs and employees from every claim, suit action, demand or right to compensation for damages I may claim to have or that I may have arising out of acts or omissions by myself or by my Coach as a result of the advice given by your Coach or otherwise resulting from the coaching relationship contemplated by this agreement.

I further declare and represent that no promise, inducement or agreement not expressed in this agreement has been made to me to sign this agreement. This agreement shall bind my heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors, assigns, and agents as well.

 

Terms & Conditions

The coaching schedule will be arranged between the Coach and the client and can be booked up to 3 months in advance. The Coach will recommend the frequency of coaching sessions based on a professional assessment of the client’s requirements, wants, goals, and learning & communication styles. This recommended plan is not binding and may be altered and adjusted throughout the coaching journey by mutual agreement, in accordance with the terms set out in this agreement.

Sessions may be provided on a session-by-session basis, if the Coach agrees, however, intended results cannot be assumed to be accomplished without consistent work and communication within the scope of coaching.

In return for the fees payable by the client (or by a third party on their behalf), the Coaches or the Clarity Collab, LLC agree to provide the service as described below and in accordance with the terms and conditions set out below. The client agrees to pay fees for the service on the terms and conditions set out below (in situations where a third party pays the fees, the third party counts as an agent acting on behalf of the client).

The date that the first coaching session takes place shall be deemed to be the start date for the service. Where any client is unhappy with any of the terms and conditions they can contact Christine Bannister-Welch to discuss any concerns and see if they can be resolved before the first coaching session. Participation by any individual in the first coaching session constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions. Contact may be made through the website www.theclaritycollab.com or via email at christinejean@christinejean.net


Format of Sessions

Sessions are done in person, over the phone, or via online video platforms.       

Sessions by phone are done via Zoom, FaceTime audio, or by direct telephone. 

Sessions by video are done via Zoom, FaceTime video, or Google video chat. 

A Zoom link will be provided by the Coach/the Clarity Collab, LLC.

Sessions in person will be held at the following location: 

   • The Clarity Collab office located at the Guild of Modern Wellness office building: 21415 W. Greenfield in New Berlin, WI. 53146- Ste. 206

In all cases the client is responsible for calling the coach or joining the scheduled meeting to begin on time. The coach is open to other formats by mutual agreement. The Coach is responsible for ensuring that s/he is available for consultation at agreed times.

The length of each session is set automatically at the time of booking on the appointment booking platform and paid for accordingly prior to or at the time of booking. Sessions may go over the allotted time by mutual agreement and paid for retrospectively, but only if the Coach is willing, is able, and has no commitments immediately following the session.


Session Fees

Coaching fees are stipulated on the website and made clear at the time of booking. The Clarity Collab, LLC reserves the right to change these from time to time. Any payments for sessions paid in advance are honored even if prices have risen between the point of booking and the time of session.


Dates and Times of Sessions

The date and time of the first session and any subsequent session will be registered on the online agenda (“Acuity Scheduling”) maintained on the website.  The Coach agrees to maintain her/his availability to match that presented by the website, and to honor the sessions booked through the “Acuity Scheduling” online bookings platform.

Sessions can only be rescheduled or rearranged in accordance with the section in these terms and conditions headed “Rearranging Sessions”.


Payment Terms

Fees can be paid online through Square by debit or credit card, or by PayPal or Venmo, using the payments gateway linked to the “Acuity Scheduling” bookings platform. Alternatively payments by standing order or by bank transfer may be made by mutual agreement. 

Check or Cash payments are preferred and can be made in advance or at the time of the appointment. 

Receipts and/or invoices are available, and when requested by the client, they will be sent by email.

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 the Coach in advance of a coaching session, the Coach is not obliged to provide the session and payment is still due, the session cannot be canceled or rescheduled for no fee at that point. 

Where payment is required on receipt of invoice rather than in advance, a charge may be levied for late payment.


Between Sessions

The Coach and Client may agree on take-away tasks or exercises to complete between coaching sessions. Although, there is no obligation on the client to complete these items, not doing so may slow the client’s progress in gaining improved quality of life, healing, or achieving desired outcomes.

The client may contact the Coach by phone, text, or 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. The Coach 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 reschedule a coaching session, they should provide at least 48-hour notice, whenever possible. No refunds will be given to clients for unused coaching sessions unless 48-hour notice has been given. We do, though, understand that real life happens. So call or text your Coach within the 48-hour window to see if a reschedule is possible in the next 7 days (no penalty). 

Outside the 48-hour window, modifying your scheduled appointments can be done on the scheduling platform using your client log in. 

In exceptional circumstances, the Coach may need to rearrange a coaching session. In those instances s/he will also give the client 48-hour notice when practical.

Where a client pays for a session or sessions in advance they must schedule the appointment for the coaching session(s) within 6 months of the payment or their fee is forfeited.


Confidentiality

Confidentiality is one of our highest priorities. We will always provide a safe space for you to process, edit, create, and heal. Personal information or business information supplied by clients in coaching sessions is confidential. It will not be disclosed to a third party without the client’s prior permission, unless required by law to report or where appropriate action might be necessary to prevent harm to the client or someone else.


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, the Coach 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 the Coach where practicable. 

The option of a refund may or may not be offered. Refunds will include any advance payments made for only coaching sessions not yet provided less fees. 


Responsibilities

The Coach will seek to enable the client to improve their quality of life or level of life satisfaction/success and/or to achieve their desired outcomes. Remarkable results can be achieved where clients are open-minded, ready to work, and follow a clear plan in a committed way. The client maintains sole responsibility for implementing important decisions in their life or business. The Coach 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 trauma recovery, quality of life, relational, career or business or to achieve their desired outcomes or goals.


Variation of Terms & 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 the Coach and the client and confirmed by the Clarity Collab in writing by email, text, or DM. In other cases, Administration 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, text, or DM and they will then be entitled to a 50% refund of any fees paid in advance for only coaching sessions not yet provided less fees. Such notice will be effective on receipt by The Clarity Collab, LLC.
