COACHING SERVICE AGREEMENT
This Contract for Services is made effective as of the signature date by and between
("Client") of , and AVConnexions, LLC ("AVConnexions") of PO Box 800, Blairstown, New Jersey 07825.
DESCRIPTION OF COACHING: Coaching is a partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business partnership) between the Coach and the Client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the Client to maximize personal potential. It is designed to facilitate the creation/development of personal, professional, or business goals and to develop and carry out a strategy/plan for achieving those goals.
Coach-Client Relationship
Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing their physical, mental, and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions, and results arising from or from the coaching relationship, coaching calls, 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, inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services provided by the Coach. The Client understands coaching is not therapy, does not substitute for treatment if needed, and does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease.
Client further acknowledges that they may terminate or discontinue the coaching relationship at any time.
Client acknowledges that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of their 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.
Client acknowledges that coaching does not involve diagnosing or treating mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association. Coaching is not 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, we recommended that the Client promptly inform the mental healthcare provider of the nature and extent of the coaching relationship agreed upon by the Client and the Coach.
Client understands that to enhance the coaching relationship, the Client agrees to communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance, and create the time and energy to participate fully in the program.

If later than 15 minutes or you're a "no show," the session counts against your overall sessions.

REFUND POLICY. AVConnexions does not offer refunds for any reason not stated in this Agreement.
PRIVACY. At any point in the coaching session, the Client can declare their preference not to discuss a specific issue by simply stating that they would rather not discuss it. The coach agrees to respect this boundary and will not attempt to further the conversation along those lines.
CONFIDENTIALITY. AVConnexions and its employees, agents, or representatives will not, at any time or in any manner, either directly or indirectly, use for personal reasons or to benefit AVConnexions, divulge, disclose, or communicate any form of any information that is proprietary to the Client. AVConnexions and its employees, agents, and representatives will protect such information and treat it strictly confidential. This provision will continue to be effective after the termination of this Contract. Any oral or written waiver by the Client of these confidentiality obligations which allows AVConnexions to disclose the Client's confidential information to a third party will be limited to a single occurrence tied to the specific information disclosed to the particular third party, and the confidentiality clause will continue to be in effect for all other circumstances. Confidential information does not include information that:
(a) was in the Coach's possession before the Client furnishes it;
(b) is generally known to the public or in the Client's industry;
(c) is obtained by the Coach from a third party, without breach of any obligation to the Client;
(d) is independently developed by the Coach without the use of or reference to the Client's confidential information; or
(e) the Coach is required by statute, lawfully issued subpoena, or by court order to disclose;
(f) is disclosed to the Coach, and as a result of such disclosure the Coach reasonably believes there to be an imminent or likely risk of danger or harm to the Client or others; and
(g) involves illegal activity. The Client also acknowledges their continuing obligation to promptly raise confidentiality questions or concerns with the Coach.
