RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, Client desires to engage Coach for certain coaching services as more specifically set forth herein; and

 

WHEREAS, Coach accepts this engagement under the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Client and Coach agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1. Nature of Services. Coach agrees to provide Client with the following services (the “Services”): 24 one to one private coaching calls, that must be completed within 6 months, unlimited email and DM support during Coach’s business hours.

 

1. Additional Services. If Client wishes to engage Coach for additional services outside the scope of the Services, Client and Coach will agree to the additional services and payment terms in writing (including by e-mail), and all other terms of this Agreement will continue to apply.

 

1.  Compensation. [In consideration for the Services, Client agrees to pay Coach a one time fee of $3,900 USD. (“Coach’s Fee”). Acceptable forms of payment include Credit Card.
1. Expenses. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Client (including by e-mail), Coach is responsible and solely liable for all business expenses related to Coach’s performance of the Services.

 

1. Late Payments. Any amounts not paid in full within five (5) days after their due date will be charged a $50 late fee. If any payments hereunder are past due, Coach may suspend its performance of the Services until payments are brought up to date.

 

1. Sessions. If Client needs to reschedule or cancel a session with Coach, Client shall provide at least 2 days’ notice. If Client fails to give Coach the required notice, that will be considered a cancellation of the session and it will be deducted from the total number of sessions provided as part of the Services. In addition, Client is allowed to reschedule 2 times before any future rescheduling will be considered a cancellation of the session and deducted from the total number of sessions provided as part of the Services.

 

1. Independent Contractor. It is expressly agreed that Coach is acting as an independent contractor and not as an employee in providing the Services to Client, and, as such, Coach is responsible for setting their own work hours, furnishing their own tools and equipment, and conducting their own day-to-day business. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to create a partnership, joint venture, or employer-employee relationship between Client and Coach. Because Coach is an independent contractor, Coach agrees that (a) Coach is solely responsible for payment of all federal, state, and local income taxes, Social Security or Medicare taxes, and any other employment-related taxes due to the proper taxing authorities, (b) Client will not deduct or withhold such taxes from any payments to Coach or make any federal or state unemployment contributions, (c) Client will not obtain workers’ compensation insurance on behalf of Coach, and (d) Coach will not receive health insurance coverage or other fringe benefits from Client.

 

1. Client-Coach Relationship.

 

1. In connection with Coach’s performance of the Services, Client agrees to (a) promptly respond to Coach’s communications, (b) provide truthful, accurate, and complete information to Coach, (c) give the necessary time and energy to fully commit to Coach’s program, and (d) make timely payments of Coach’s Fee.

 

1. Coach will perform the Services in a professional, diligent, and workmanlike manner. Coach’s methods and techniques will conform to industry standards and reasonable ethical obligations.

 

1. Both parties will refrain from tortious interference with the contracts and business relationships of the other party.

 

1. Coach does not make any representations, warranties, or guarantees as to the specific results that Client will experience from the Services. Client shall be responsible for their own results and for how to implement Coach’s program into Client’s life.

 

1. Client understands and agrees that Coach is not providing, and that the Services should not be used as a substitute for, the professional services of an attorney, accountant, financial planner, nutritionist, medical professional, mental health professional, or any other kind of licensed or certified professional.

 

1. Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality.

1. Care of Information. The receiving party shall use professionalism, good judgment, and care when handling Confidential Information. The receiving party shall protect the Confidential Information from disclosure to a third party using the same care and diligence that the receiving party uses to protect its own proprietary and confidential information, but in no case less than reasonable care. This standard of care shall include, without limitation, being mindful that (a) others cannot overhear a discussion that includes Confidential Information, (b) documents containing Confidential Information are not left in public view, and (c) Confidential Information is not left on a computer screen in public view.

1. Ownership of Confidential Information. All Confidential Information shall be and remain the property of the disclosing party, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring any rights to such Confidential Information to the receiving party. The receiving party shall honor any request from the disclosing party to promptly return or destroy all copies of Confidential Information and all notes related to such Confidential Information.

 

1. Damage. Client and Coach agree that the disclosing party will suffer irreparable injury if its Confidential Information is made public, released to a third party, or otherwise disclosed in breach of this Agreement and that the disclosing party shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against a threatened breach or continuation of any such breach and, in the event of such breach, an award of actual damages from any court of competent jurisdiction.
