Coaching Terms & Conditions
Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before purchasing coaching services (“Coaching Services”).
The Coaching Services are provided by Corporate Coconut LLC (“The Coach”, “we”, or “us”). The purchaser of Coaching Services is referred to as “The Client” or “you”. We reserve the right to change these Terms and Conditions at any time without notice, and by purchasing Coaching Services you are agreeing to the Terms and Conditions as they appear at the time of purchase, whether or not you have read them. If you do not agree with these Terms and Conditions, please do not purchase our Coaching Services.
1. Coach-Client Relationship
A coaching relationship is a partnership between the Coach and the Client. Both parties must uphold their obligations in order for that partnership to be positive, productive, and successful.
Both parties agree to come fully prepared to coaching calls and do their best to minimize outside distractions.
The Coach agrees to maintain the ethics and standards of behavior established by the International Coach Federation “(ICF)”. It is recommended that the Client review the ICF Code of Ethics and the applicable standards of behavior.
The Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing its own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions, and results arising out of or resulting from the coaching relationship and interactions with the Coach. As such, the Client agrees that the Coach is not and will not be liable or responsible for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services, content, or materials provided by the Coach.
The Client acknowledges that it may terminate or discontinue the coaching relationship at any time.
The Client acknowledges that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of its life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education, and recreation. The Client agrees that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporating coaching principles into those areas, and implementing choices is exclusively the Client’s responsibility.
The Client acknowledges that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association and that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, or other professional advice by legal, medical or other qualified professionals and that it is the Client’s exclusive responsibility to seek such independent professional guidance as needed. If the Client is currently under the care of a mental health professional, it is recommended that the Client promptly inform the mental health care provider of the nature and extent of the coaching relationship agreed upon by the Client and the Coach.
The Client understands that in order to enhance the coaching relationship, the Client agrees to communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance and to create the time and energy to participate fully in the program.
2. Service Description
Coaching Services will be provided by the Coach to the Client upon successful payment.
The Coach delivers its Coaching Services in the form of 1:1 coaching or group coaching.
The Coach shall only deliver to the Client the type of service purchased by the Client (i.e. 1:1 or group coaching). For the avoidance of doubt, the Coach shall ensure that information about the nature of the delivery (i.e. 1:1 or group coaching) is provided on the website pages where the Client initiates its purchase of the Coaching Services.
With regards to 1:1 coaching, unless otherwise specified on the website pages where the Client initiates its purchase of the Coaching Services or in a separate written contract signed by the Client and the Coach:
The Coach will provide Coaching Services for a term of 1 month (“Intensive”) or 3 months (“Coaching Sprint”).
The Intensive or the Coaching Sprint shall be deemed to have started on the date when the Client completes its payment (if paying in full) or submits its first payment (if paying by payment plan).
An Intensive will include up to 120 minutes of 1:1 coaching calls (“1:1 Coaching Calls”) done by video conference.
A Coaching Sprint will include up to 360 minutes of 1:1 Coaching Calls done by video conference.
While enrolled in an Intensive or a Coaching Sprint, the Client will receive unlimited support from the Coach over text message, email, and voice message. The Coach reserves the right to limit or remove such support if the Client's use of it is deemed unreasonable under the circumstances.
With regard to group coaching, unless otherwise specified on the website pages where the Client initiates its purchase of the Coaching Services or in a separate written contract signed by the Client and the Coach:
The Coach will provide Coaching Services for a term of 90 days ("Group Program Membership").
The Group Program Membership shall be deemed to have started on the date when the Client completes its payment (if paying in full) or submits its first payment (if paying by payment plan).
While enrolled in a Group Program Membership, the Client will have the opportunity to participate in at least 2 group coaching sessions ("Group Coaching Sessions") per month and receive reasonable support from the Coach between such sessions.
Coaching Services may include a curriculum consisting of video lessons, workbooks, and other learning assets (“Content and Materials”).
3. Scheduling & Timing
Scheduling of 1:1 Coaching Calls must take place at least 24 hours in advance.
Cancellations or rescheduling of 1:1 Coaching Calls must take place at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled call. Coaching Calls that are canceled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours notice will be considered missed appointments.
The duration of any missed 1:1 Coaching Calls (e.g. 60 minutes) will be subtracted from the Client’s remaining Coaching Calls.
4. Payment
The Client guarantees that it is financially able to invest in coaching services and does so by choice, and that by so doing, is not incurring any economic hardship.
If the Client chooses to pay in full, payment must be made in the amount as stated on the relevant website page, or communicated by the Coach over email.
If the Client chooses to pay by payment plan, payment must be made in the amount and frequency as stated on the relevant website page, or communicated by the Coach over email.
If paying by debit card or credit card, the Client gives the Coach permission to automatically charge its debit card or credit card as payment for the Coaching Services without any additional authorization, and will receive an electronic receipt.
If an invoice is issued for the Coaching Services, the Client is required to pay by the date due on the invoice or the Coaching Services will be put on hold until payment is made. If payment is not received by the date due on the invoice, the Client will be notified by email and have a 3-day grace period to make the payment following the due date. If no payment is made within the 3-day grace period, the Coaching Services, including access to Content and Materials, will be terminated.
5. Confidentiality
Information (documented or verbal) that the Client shares with the Coach as part of the coaching relationship will be kept confidential by the Coach. The Coach may disclose such information:
To a member of the Coach’s team or staff, when such member has a legitimate reason to have access to the information;
When required by statute, lawfully issued subpoena, or by court order to disclose;
When the Coach has received prior written permission from the Client.
The Client is aware that the Coach-Client relationship is not considered a legally confidential relationship (like the medical and legal professions) and thus communications are not subject to the protection of any legally recognized privilege.

Involves illegal activity.
The Client acknowledges its continuing obligation to raise any confidentiality questions or concerns with the Coach in a timely manner.
With regard to group coaching, The Client shall not disclose any information shared by other group participants with third parties. The Client acknowledges that doing so would constitute a breach of this Agreement.
