Terms in this Agreement. The Coach agrees to provide these Services in a professional
manner and in accordance with generally accepted industry practice and standards and will
ensure any contractors or coaches or representatives that the Coach may employ from time to

agreed in writing and notified to the Coach in advance.
3.4 Services may be provided face-to-face or via web-based means (such as Skype, Google

minimum notice period as specified in the Schedule is required to permit the Coach to offer
this session time to another Client. Any sessions that are not notified to the Coach for
cancellation or rescheduling prior to this notice period requirement may be forfeited and may

4 WARRANTIES AND REFUNDS
4.1 Legislation may confer certain rights, warranties and guarantees and remedies relating to the
provision of the Services which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified, including but not
limited to the Australian Consumer Law (‘ACL’). At no time are these statutory rights sought to
be excluded.
4.2 The Coach represents and warrants:
(a) in providing the Services, they will comply with all law and industry standards;
(b) the work performed to provide the Services will be done to a high standard in
accordance with best practice; and
(c) the scope of the Services will be limited to the description provided in the Schedule
unless otherwise agreed in writing from time to time. Similar or equivalent Services may
be substituted from time to time if, in the sole opinion of the Coach, it would benefit the
Client or be required to meet the terms of this Agreement.
4.3 The Client represents and warrants:
(a) they will provide all relevant information required for the Coach to carry out the Services
in a timely manner; and
(b) they hold the relevant and required current insurances to protect the Coach (where
relevant) including against any third party claims.
4.4 The Client acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) results of Services vary from individual to individual. For this reason, performance,
progress and success of any particular Services is reliant on the Client and individual to
meet their own requirements. The Coach cannot and does not guarantee any particular
or any results and the Client is solely responsible for their progress. If any time during
the Services the Client feels their progress is not as expected, it is the responsibility of
the Client to advise the Coach immediately of any concerns in order to give the Coach
an opportunity to address and assist. The Coach will use reasonable efforts to resolve
the concerns, however at no time does the Coach guarantee or warrant any increase or
altered progress or performance;
(b) as the Coach has blocked out specific time periods to provide the Services to the Client,
any cancellation or termination and refund of Services would be to the detriment of the
Coach. For this reason, there are no refunds for change of mind or similar. Refunds are
granted in very limited circumstances and in the sole discretion of the Coach; and
(c) in addition, any delay or late attendance to any scheduled sessions by the Client will
finish at the nominated and agreed original time in order to not disadvantage other
Clients that may be scheduled after the Client session. All sessions must finish on time
at the originally scheduled time unless otherwise agreed by the Client and Coach.
5 DISPUTES

parties disagree on the quality, substance, or the parties disagree for any reason on the
Services, the Client will immediately notify the Coach of any such reason, the specifics and will
give a reasonable opportunity for the Coach to respond and address any concerns. Feedback
and discussion are important to the sessions and provision of the Services and it is up to the
Client to provide such feedback in order to give the Coach an opportunity to resolve any issue
quickly and effectively.
5.2 If a dispute arises, both parties agree that confidentiality is paramount to the reputation of both
the Client and the Coach. At no time will any communications or discussions be made public,

damaging and will be the subject of compensation in any mediation or litigation claim.

parties agree to obtain an independent professional arbitrator/dispute resolution specialist to
make a determination on the dispute and each of us agrees to pay our own costs.
