No refunds, withdrawals, or cancellations of any kind will be issued for the Program, including deposits, or any partial payments.

7. DEFINITION of COACHING: I understand that coaching is intended for individuals who want to take action and make behavior changes in the service of their goals for life, health, well-being, or work.

It is clear that Coaching may not be appropriate for all people.
​
8. LIABILITY: In no event shall the Coach be liable for any damages for any indirect, consequential, or special damages.
