The Client retains full responsibility for their decisions, actions, and results arising from coaching.
The Coach may suggest reflection or exercises, but will never impose them.
6. Recording and Media Use
Sessions may be recorded for the Client’s review or for Coach’s professional development.
Recordings will not be shared publicly without the Client’s written consent.
If used as testimonial material, the Client will be shown any excerpt before it is published.
7. Cancellation or Termination

If the Client wishes to cancel, written notice (email is fine) should be given at least one week before the next billing date.

10. Refunds
The Coach’s policy is based on fairness and mutual respect.
Once a month’s payment has been made and sessions have begun, refunds are generally not issued, as time slots are reserved exclusively for the Client.
In the event of unforeseen circumstances (for example illness or relocation) that prevent the Client from continuing, the Coach may offer a partial refund or transfer of unused sessions to a later date, at their discretion.
If the Coach must cancel the program due to personal or professional reasons, any unused sessions will be refunded in full.
