This Agreement is made today between the Counselor of the Program and you [the Client].
PAYMENTS AND REFUNDS
The Client may pay in full prior to the start of the program to receive a $300 discount, or in automated monthly installments deducted from a credit or debit card, totaling the full amount.
In the event of the Client’s absence or withdrawal, for any reason whatsoever, the Client will remain fully responsible for the unpaid balance of the Program. Under no circumstance will the Counselor refund any payments made by the Client. By signing this Agreement, the Client agrees to be legally obligated to pay the full amount of this Program.
DISCLAIMER OF HEALTH CARE RELATED SERVICES
The Counselor encourages the Client to continue to visit and to be treated by his/her healthcare professionals, including, without limitation, a physician. The Client understands that the Counselor is not acting in the capacity of a doctor, licensed dietician-nutritionist, psychologist or other licensed or registered professional. Accordingly, the client understands that the Counselor is not providing health care, medical or nutrition therapy services and will not diagnose, treat or cure in any manner whatsoever any disease, condition or other physical or mental ailment of the human body.
The Client has chosen to work with the Counselor and understands that the information received should not be seen as medical or nursing advice and is certainly not meant to take the place of your seeing licensed health professionals.
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND RELEASE OF HEALTH CARE RELATED CLAIMS
The Client acknowledges that the Client takes full responsibility for the Client’s life and well-being, as well as the lives and well-being of the Client’s family and children (where applicable), and all decisions made during and after this program.
The Client expressly assumes the risks of the Program, including the risks of trying new foods or supplements, and the risks inherent in making lifestyle changes. The Client releases the Counselor from any and all liability, damages, causes of action, allegations, suits, sums of money, claims and demands whatsoever, in law or equity, which the Client ever had, now has or will have in the future against the Counselor, arising from the Client’s past or future participation in, or otherwise with respect to, the Program, unless arising from the gross negligence of the Counselor.
CONFIDENTIALITY
The client acknowledges the Counselor will keep the Client’s information private, and will not share the Client’s information to any third party unless compelled to by law. As this is a group program, participants will be mandated to respect the privacy of other members and not share information divulged within the group coaching calls or the private Facebook group.
NON-REPLICATION
No portion of this course or the materials within, either print or recorded, may be copied, distributed or shared without express consent of The Counselor.
CHOICE OF LAW, ARBITRATION AND LIMITED REMEDIES
In the event that there ever arises a dispute between Counselor and Client with respect to the services provided pursuant to this agreement or otherwise pertaining to the relationship between the parties, the parties agree to submit to binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (Commercial Arbitration and Mediation Center for the Americas Mediation and Arbitration Rules). Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The sole remedy that can be awarded to the Client in the event that an award is granted in arbitration is refund of the Program Fee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no award of consequential or other damages, unless specifically set forth herein, may be granted to the Client.
This agreement shall be construed according to the laws of the State of New York. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed unenforceable, the remaining portions of the Agreement shall be severed and remain in full force.
