Further Terms & Conditions for 1:1 Coaching Programmes

The coaching schedule will be arranged between the coach and the client and can be booked up to 3 months in advance. Take Two Coaching will agree with the client the frequency of coaching sessions based on a professional assessment of the client’s requirements. This recommendation, or 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.

Where no specific number is agreed sessions will be provided on a session by session basis.

In return for the fees payable by the client (or by a third party on their behalf), the coach agrees 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 Take Two Coaching 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.

Format of Sessions

Sessions are by video call via Zoom. The coach is open to other formats by mutual agreement. The coach is responsible for ensuring that she is available for consultation at agreed times.
The length of each session is agreed in the programme details and paid for accordingly at the time of booking. Sessions may over-run by mutual agreement and paid for retrospectively, but only if the coach has no commitments immediately following the session.

Programme Fees

The current fees are stipulated on the website and made clear at the time of booking. Take Two Coaching reserves the right to change these from time to time. Any payments for sessions paid in advance are honoured 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 agreed by both parties..

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

Payment Terms

Fees can be paid according to the payment details outlined on the invoice – by debit or credit card, UPI or by PayPal (if outside India). Alternatively, payments by standing order or by bank transfer may be made by mutual agreement.

Receipts and/or invoices are available, and where receipts are requested by the client, they will be sent by e-mail.

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 in advance of a coaching session the coach 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

The coach 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.

The client may contact the coach by phone 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 rearrange a coaching session, they should provide at least 48 hours’ notice. No free rescheduling of sessions will be offered to clients for unused coaching sessions unless 48 hours’ notice has been given. In exceptional circumstances the coach may need to rearrange a coaching session. In those instances she will also give the client 48 hours’ notice where practical.

Rearrangement of sessions must be by mutual agreement and the final agreement rests with Take Two Coaching.

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.

Early Termination

In exceptional circumstances, such as illness or unavailability due to bereavement or other commitments, inappropriate behaviour 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 where practicable and will be refunded any advance payments made for coaching sessions not yet provided.

Responsibilities

The coach 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. 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, 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 coach in writing by email. In other cases, the coach 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 Stewart.
