• This Agreement will begin on the date you acknowledge and confirm acceptance and will continue until the Services have been delivered, unless the Agreement is terminated earlier in accordance with these terms or we agree otherwise in writing.
• The Services are designed to be accessed online only and no alternative will be provided. All Sessions will take place via Zoom or other online meeting facility, as we may confirm to you in writing.
• Any information, Content, support, materials or guidance we provide as part of the Programme are intended for a group audience and should not be relied upon as information personal to you, unless we expressly advise otherwise, and do not constitute legal, medical or financial advice. Should you require personal support or feel that you require further contact or support which is over and above the Services set out in Schedule 1, then a further agreement will need to be arranged and separate terms and payment agreed.
• Accessing Sessions and Private Groups
• We will confirm the date and time of each Session by providing you with details via email or by posting in the private Facebook group.
• It will be your responsibility to check for emails and posts concerning the scheduling of Sessions. We regret that, unless we agree otherwise in writing, no alternative or replacement dates or times will be offered if you are unable to attend a Session for whatever reason. Where you fail to attend a Session you will remain responsible for payment of the Fee, unless we have agreed otherwise in writing, before you are able to attend any further Sessions.
• If you attend a Session more than 15 minutes after the scheduled start time then we reserve the right to refuse you access to the Session and to treat your action as non-attendance.
• Should we be unable to attend a Session then we will make all reasonable attempts to provide you with as much notice as possible and to reschedule to a mutually convenient time. Where we reschedule a Session then we will use our reasonable endeavours to reschedule at a time which is convenient to the majority of Clients.
• It is important to us to ensure that all Clients accessing the Programme feel safe and comfortable and therefore we ask you to agree to conduct yourself in a reasonable and responsible manner at all times when accessing any of the Services and not to act in a manner which may cause offence, distress or alarm to any other Client.
• When you access the Services, you agree:
• not to record any Sessions for your personal use or otherwise; and

• that when accessing any Private Group, that you will not upload, post, transmit or otherwise make available content that:
• is by its nature defamatory, libelous, obscene, demeaning or which causes offence to another individual whether intended or not; or
• discloses personal and/or confidential or sensitive information about another person; or
• is threatening or causes us or a Client to feel harassed or in fear; and/or
• is classed as spam.
• Should you become aware of any inappropriate behaviour, comments or content being shown or displayed within any of our Private Groups or during the delivery of any aspect of the Programme then you agree to notify us as soon as possible.

• The Programme is designed to provide you with information, tools, materials and skills to support you in your personal development by using positive psychology coaching methods. It is not a substitute for counselling or other therapy services and we are not medical or health practitioners. If you are currently seeking medical or other professional help concerning your mental health, or if you are unsure as to your mental capacity to participate in the Programme, then you should seek advice from a relevant medical professional and inform us if appropriate and relevant.
• During your participation in the Programme you may be exposed to information or situations that trigger deep or otherwise unresolved emotional responses. By using and participating in the Programme and the Services you are confirming that you are mentally well enough to do so and that you understand that you are personally responsible for managing your own emotional state. You agree not to hold us liable for any emotional distress experienced as a result of your access to the Programme and we reserve the right to terminate your access to the Programme where we have concerns as to your suitability to safely use it.
• As part of your participation in the Programme and access to the Services, you may be required to review and make decisions concerning your personal and home life, business and career, finances, lifestyle, education and development and health and wellness. You accept that any such reviews, subsequent decisions, implementation and action will be your sole responsibility and that we shall not be liable for your failure to make decisions, put into action plans or strategy, or for any results whether direct or indirect arising out of your access to and use of the Programme.
• Where you choose to participate in any coaching, mentoring or training activities or any demonstrations offered as part of the Programme, then you acknowledge that any decision to participate is voluntary and at your own risk.
