The Chauntology Speaks Experience Program Agreement

This agreement is entered into by and between Chauntology Speaks (Coach) and (Client) whereby Coach agrees to provide Coaching Services for Client. 

Coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve all areas of life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation. It does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association and is not a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care or substance abuse treatment. Client understands and agrees that she is fully responsible for her physical, mental and emotional well-being while participating in this program and is aware that she can discontinue coaching at any time.
 

Private Coaching: Coaching includes regular appointments until your personal goals have been met. Sessions are 45 - 60 minutes in duration and are scheduled on a fixed time slot (same day, same time). However, more frequent sessions and longer time frames can be arranged. At the end of each session, Client agrees to goals to work towards and an assignment to be completed prior to the next session in order to aid in her success. In between sessions, we will use email messages to enhance and anchor the benefits of the coaching.
 

Coaching is most effective when all parties are open, honest, and straightforward in their communication. Therefore, it is important that all parties are in full cooperation with each other and do not act in any manner that would interfere with facilitation of the coaching goals or process.
 

 Client understands, she is fully responsible for her well being during this process and agrees not to hold Chauntology Speaks, LLC or any company she is affiliated with, liable for any outcomes resulting directly or indirectly from the Coaching process. Client agrees to arrive on time for each session and be fully engaged.  

Client will complete assignments in between sessions and be open to reflecting on them during sessions,

understanding that her information will be held as confidential unless stated otherwise, in writing, except as required by law. If information is provided to Chauntology Speaks that involves the physical injury of herself or others, Chauntology Speaks must report such information and/or refer to mental health professionals accordingly.  

 Client understands Coaching does not treat mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association and is not a substitute for Counseling, Psychotherapy, Psychoanalysis, Psychiatry, or Substance Abuse Treatment. Coaching is for people who are basically well-adjusted, emotionally healthy, functioning effectively, and wanting to make changes in their lives. If Client believes she may need therapy in addition to Coaching, she will speak to Coach about options. If Client is currently in any form of therapy, seeing a Psychiatrist, or otherwise under the care of a mental health professional or doctor, it is recommended she promptly inform the provider of the nature of the Coaching relationship.  

 Chauntology Speaks provides private coaching sessions, between session assignments, personal growth assessments, milestone celebrations and unlimited email and text access during the length of the contract period. 

 This coaching agreement is valid from the date of Client signature until terminated in writing. Sessions will occur bi-weekly at a rate of $75 per session. All payments must be made at least 48 hours prior to each session. Checks are not accepted. There are absolutely no refunds with Coaching because, once we spend our time together, we can’t get it back.  

 A $50 convenience fee is charged for appointments that are cancelled less than 48 business hours before the scheduled session. Your full session fee is assessed for appointments that are cancelled less than 24 hours in advance unless for emergency reasons. Upon late arrival, the Coach may provide only the remaining time set aside for your appointment. Please keep up with your scheduled appointments as the Coach may not always be available to confirm your appointment in advance. A $35 fee will be incurred in the unfortunate event of a failed transaction due to insufficient funds.  

 This coaching relationship, as well as all information that the Client shares (documented or verbal) with the Coach as part of this relationship, is mutually agreed to be protected by this contract of agreement. However, please be aware that the Coach-Client relationship is not considered a legally confidential relationship and thus communications are not subject to the protection of any legally recognized privilege. The Coach agrees not to disclose any information pertaining to the Client without the Client’s written consent. No information or materials will be shared with outside sources, on the internet, or other people regarding the work of either party, except with express written permission of both parties. Exceptions to confidentiality include: (a) The client signs a written release of information indicating informed consent of such release; (b) the client expresses intent to harm herself or someone else; (c) there is reasonable suspicion of abuse/neglect (past or present) against a minor child, an elderly person or dependent adult; (d) a court order is received directing the disclosure of information. The Client also acknowledges his or her continuing obligation to raise any confidentiality questions or concerns with the Coach in a timely manner. 

 Your identity as a coaching client, and all Your communications with Coach, will be treated by Coach as confidential, unless you give Coach express permission to disclose specific information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Client understands and acknowledges that group coaching may involve the sharing of information with other participants of the Group Coaching Program. As Coach cannot control the actions of other participants, the Coach cannot guarantee that information shared in any Group Coaching Session will be treated as confidential by all participants in attendance. Accordingly, Client hereby agrees to release and hold Coach harmless from any claims, losses, injuries, damages, and expenses of any kind that may result from the disclosure of information shared by Client during any Coaching Session by any participant of the Group Coaching Program. Additionally, in the event that there is evidence that Client is a potential danger to himself/herself or another, or in the even that Client discloses illegal activity, Coach is ethically bound to report same to the appropriate authority. In such case, Coach will discuss same with the Client prior to taking such action.
The client also acknowledges that, in connection with this Agreement, Client may be furnished with, or given access to, certain confidential and/or proprietary information, and that such information shall not be disclosed to any third party, and shall not be used for purposes other than those contemplated by this Agreement.
Confidential Information may include, but is not limited to, the following: a) any materials regardless of form furnished by either Party or any participant of the Group Coaching Program to any other Party for use; b) all communications and information shared between Client, Coach or any participant of the Group Coaching Program while this Agreement is in effect; c) any information furnished by any party or any participant of the Group Coaching Program, stamped “confidential,” “proprietary,” or with a similar legend, or any information that any party or any participant of the Group Coaching Program makes similar reasonable efforts to maintain secret; d) any business or marketing plans, strategies, customer lists, operating procedures, formulas, know-how, processes, programs, software, inventories, discoveries, improvements, sales projections, strategies, pricing information; and other confidential trade secrets, data and knowledge of either party or any participant of the Group Coaching Program; e) any non-public inventions and technical information, the rights to which have not been assigned to the party receiving the information; and other proprietary information owned by either party or any participant of the Group Coaching Program, (collectively “Confidential Information”), which are valuable, special and unique assets of that party.
Neither Client nor Coach will disclose or use, either during or after the term of this Agreement, in any manner, directly or indirectly, any such Confidential Information of the other party, for their own benefit. Neither party will use, share, divulge, disclose or communicate in any manner whatsoever any Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party, except to the extent required by law or permitted under this Agreement. Both parties will protect all Confidential Information of the other party and all other participants of the Group Coaching Program and will treat it as strictly confidential. A violation of this paragraph shall be a material violation of this Agreement.
Not withstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Client acknowledges that it is impossible to protect the confidentiality of information transmitted electronically via e-mail, mobile phones or similar telecommunication and computer equipment, as well as any information stored on computers connected to the Internet. Therefore, Client waives any action, legal or otherwise, against Coach and holds Coach harmless for any interception of Client information resulting from the use of the above-mentioned equipment.
If either party to this Agreement discloses or threatens to disclose the other party’s Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement, the party whose information is at issue will suffer irreparable damage and shall be entitled to an award by any court of competent jurisdiction of a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction to restrain the other party from such unauthorized use or disclosure, in whole or in part, of such Confidential Information, without the need to post a bond, and/or from providing services to any party to whom such information has been disclosed or may be disclosed.
The infringing party further agrees to reimburse the party whose information has been disclosed for any loss or expense incurred as a result of the infringement, including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Disclosing Party in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other damages which may be proven. The parties shall not be prohibited by this provision from pursuing other remedies, including a claim for losses and damages. 

 Either the Client or the Coach may terminate this Agreement at any time with 2 weeks written notice. Client agrees to compensate the Coach for all coaching services rendered through and including the effective date of termination of the coaching relationship. 

 Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Coach makes no guarantees, representations or warranties of any kind or nature, express or implied with respect to the coaching services negotiated, agreed upon and rendered. In no event shall the Coach be liable to the Client for any indirect, consequential or special damages. Notwithstanding any damages that the Client may incur, the Coach’s entire liability under this Agreement, and the Client’s exclusive remedy, shall be limited to the amount actually paid by the Client to the Coach under this Agreement for all coaching services rendered through and including the termination date.
