Business Coaching Agreement

This Business Coaching Agreement, dated as of time of purchase, is by and between Jennifer Argue, LLC and Client who made the purchase.

WHEREAS, Jennifer Argue is in the business of providing coaching services related to business coaching; and

WHEREAS, Client desires to retain Coach to provide said coaching services, and Coach is willing to perform such coaching services under the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Coach and Client agree as follows:

1. Client-Coach Relationship. An effective coaching relationship requires mutual understanding and respect between the Coach and the Client. That requires the parties to agree to some basic tenets of coaching, including:

Coach and Client agree to communicate honestly, to be open to feedback, and to make time and space to participate fully in the coaching sessions called for hereunder. Client specifically agrees to be open to coaching.

By participating in the coaching, you agree to accept personal responsibility for the results of your actions. You agree that the Coach has not made any guarantees about the results of taking any action, whether recommended during any coaching session or not. You recognize that your ultimate success or failure will be the result of your own efforts, your particular situation, and innumerable other circumstances beyond the control and/or knowledge of the Coach.

1. Services.

The parties shall engage in one coaching meeting per month that will last 50 minutes and will be conducted on Zoom Videoconference Meeting. Client shall be responsible for scheduling these coaching sessions at mutually agreeable times. These coaching meetings must occur within a period of 3 months from the time of this Agreement or they will be forfeited without refund. Email accessibility is offered between calls and will be answered during business hours within a 24 hour time period.

Fees.  In consideration of the provision of the Services by the Coach, Client shall pay monthly payments of $250, which are due and payable on the anniversary day of purchase of each month and shall continue until this agreement is terminated.  The coaching sessions will begin after the first payment is made. Payment to Coach of such fees shall constitute payment in full for the performance of the Services. In the event that Client fails to make any such payment, the coaching sessions will stop until the payment is made.

1. Procedure and Scheduling.  Coach and Client will agree to a mutually agreeable time for the coaching meetings, and it will be the Client’s ultimate responsibility to schedule the coaching meetings. Coach shall initiate the coaching Zoom call at the agreed upon time.
2. Cancellation Policy.  You may not cancel an individual coaching session unless you do so at least 24 hours before it is scheduled to begin. Coach reserves the right to treat any meeting that Client misses or attempts to cancel less than 24 hours before it is scheduled to begin as part of the allotted coaching sessions.
3. Confidentiality. The Coach shall treat the relationship with Client, as well as all information shared by the Client, as confidential. Coach shall not disclose the existence of the relationship or any information shared during the coaching sessions without the Client’s written consent. This means that the Coach will not disclose the Client’s name as a reference without the Client’s consent. 

Client should be aware that a coach-client relationship does not give rise to privilege or any other legally protected confidentiality. That means that Coach could be ordered by a court to disclose information related to the relationship. Coach will notify Client of any legal request that would implicate Client’s information prior to disclosing it but may not be able to oppose disclosing the information.

Confidential Information does not include information: (a) known to Coach prior to Client disclosing it; (b) that is generally known to the public or in the industry; (c) obtained by Coach from a third party, without breach of any obligation to the Client; or (d) that is or was developed independently by Coach without use of or reference to the Client’s confidential information.

1. Termination. This Agreement shall continue until terminated by one of the Parties. Either Party may terminate the Agreement without cause by providing written notice prior to any ongoing monthly fee payment deadline. In the event of termination under this provision, the Coach shall continue to provide service through the end of the period for which the fees have been paid.
2. Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL COACH BE LIABLE TO CLIENT OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, REVENUE, OR PROFIT, OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGE WAS FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER OR NOT COACH HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
3. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, regarding such subject matter.
4. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.
5. Amendments. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement is effective unless it is in writing and signed by each Party.
