Individual Coaching Agreement

This Coaching Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of  today's date(the “E!ective

Date”), is by and between Joy in Family Medicine Coaching Services® (“Coach”) and

You  (“Client” or “You” and together with Coach, the “Parties”, and each

a “Party”). The Parties agree as follows:

Client-Coach Relationship

An e!ective coaching relationship requires mutual understanding and respect between the

Coach and the Client. That requires the parties to agree to some basic tenets of coaching,

including:

Coach and Client agree to communicate honestly, to be open to feedback, and to make time

and space to participate fully in the coaching sessions called for hereunder. Client specifically

agrees to be open to coaching.

By participating in the coaching, You agree to accept personal responsibility for the results of

Your actions. You agree that the Coach has not made any guarantees about the results of

taking any action, whether recommended during any coaching session or not. You recognize

that Your ultimate success or failure will be the result of Your own e!orts, Your particular

situation, and innumerable other circumstances beyond the control and/or knowledge of the

Coach.

Client acknowledges that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve di!erent areas

of his or her life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation. The

Client agrees that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporate coaching principles into

those areas and implementing choices is exclusively the Client’s responsibility.

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 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

Not Medical Advice

The Coach and its employees cannot o!er You medical advice. Its programs, products, and

services are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease and shall not be understood

or construed as medical advice. Our programs are intended for individuals who are in generally

good health and not in need of medical treatment. Those programs, products, and services are

not a substitute for medical advice from a licensed doctor or other medical professional who is

aware of the facts and circumstances of Your individual situation. We provide health-related

education, information, and do-it-yourself tools that You use at your own discretion.

Coaching Sessions

Coach shall provide a total of 12 coaching sessions that will last 45 minutes and will be

conducted Via Zoom or Phone. These coaching sessions must occur within a period of 1 year

from the date of this Agreement or they will be forfeited without refund.

Availability Between Coaching Sessions

The Parties intend for the Coaching Sessions to be the primary avenue for the Coach to serve

the Client but recognize that issues will sometimes arise between those Coaching Sessions.

Client shall be entitled to seek guidance from Coach between coaching sessions via email.

Coach commits to respond to these coaching requests within 48 hours. Client agrees that

Coach's availability between coaching sessions is subject to discretion and can be revoked if, in

the Coach's sole discretion, Client is making an unreasonable number of requests between

coaching sessions. Before revoking access between coaching sessions, Coach will bring the

excessive use to the Client's attention at least once.

Fees

In consideration of the provision of the Services by the Coach, Client shall pay a single payment

of $2,900, which is due and payable immediately. Payment to Coach of such fees shall

constitute payment in full for the performance of the Services. The coaching sessions will begin

after the payment is made.

Refunds

In the instance that either party desires to terminate the coaching relationship, refunds will be

given on a prorated basis, minus $100 for processing fees.

Procedure and Scheduling

Coach and Client will agree to a mutually agreeable time for the coaching sessions. Once a

coaching session is scheduled, You may not cancel or reschedule that session unless You do so

at least 12 hours before it is scheduled to begin. Coach reserves the right to treat any meeting

that Client misses or attempts to reschedule less than 12 hours before it is scheduled to begin

as having been used by Client.

Confidentiality

The Coach shall treat the relationship with Client, as well as all information shared by the

Client, as confidential. Coach shall not disclose the existence of the relationship or any

information shared during the coaching sessions without the Client’s written consent. This

means that the Coach will not disclose the Client’s name as a reference without the Client’s

consent.

Client should be aware that a coach-client relationship does not give rise to privilege or any

other legally protected confidentiality. That means that Coach could be ordered by a court to

disclose information related to the relationship. Coach will notify Client of any legal request

that would implicate Client’s information prior to disclosing it but may not be able to oppose

disclosing the information. The Coach is a mandatory reporter as must comply with laws

related to such.

Confidential Information does not include information: (a) known to Coach prior to Client

disclosing it; (b) that is generally known to the public or in the industry; (c) obtained by Coach

from a third party, without breach of any obligation to the Client; or (d) that is or was developed

independently by Coach without use of or reference to the Client’s confidential information.

Privacy and Data Protection

A. The Coach and the Client will each comply as appropriate with applicable privacy/data

protection legislation (including GDPR), binding court order, judgment or decree, guidance,

codes, policy or standards.

B. With regard to processing personal data/personal identifiable information (“data”) in relation

to the Client, the Coach will: process such data lawfully (on an appropriate basis including but

not limited to consent, or to comply with the Coach’s legal or regulatory obligations, or for

contractual performance, or for the Coach’s legitimate interests), fairly and in a transparent

manner; collect such data for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further

process such data in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes; ensure that such data

is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they

are processed; maintain such data accurately; keep such data for no longer than is necessary

for the purposes for which the data are processed; process such data in a manner that ensures

appropriate security of the data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful

processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or

organizational measures; maintain records of such data processing under applicable

privacy/data protection legislation requirements; share such data with third parties who the

Coach will inform the Client about; concerning such data, observe the Client’s privacy/data

protection rights under applicable privacy/data protection legislation requirements, which may

be subject to some conditions and exceptions; process such data for marketing purposes

under applicable privacy/data protection legislation requirements; in case of a security breach

concerning such data, where requirements of applicable privacy/data protection legislation are

met, notify a regulatory or supervisory authority, board or other body responsible for

administering privacy/data protection legislation, and the Client of the data security breach;

and, where it is necessary for the Coach to transfer such data internationally the Coach will

comply with applicable privacy/data protection legislation requirements designed to ensure the

privacy of such data.

C. In connection with any infringement by the Coach of applicable privacy/data protection

legislation requirements, including a security breach, concerning personal data/personal

identifiable information in relation to the Client, the Coach’s entire liability under this

Agreement and the Client’s exclusive remedy shall be limited to the amount actually paid by the

Client to the Coach under this Agreement for all coaching services rendered through and

including the termination date.

Use of Public Comments And Praise

To preserve the Client’s confidences, the Coach will not publicly post anything about Client’s

sessions or coaching experience on social media or otherwise without the Client’s express

written permission.

To the extent Client chooses to make any public disclosures about the coaching experience,

whether through social media or other media, the Coach may reshare that information. This

will include the right to reshare the Client’s comments, praise, or other disclosure on social

media and other online platforms. In other words, if You choose to say anything about the

coaching experience publicly, the Coach has the right to use those public comments to market

and promote the Coach’s business.

This will include any necessary licenses to the copyright in Your post and the right to use Your

name, image, or likeness (to the extent they are attached to Your post) to promote the Coach’s

business.

Release of Information

The Coach engages in training and continuing education pursuing and/or maintaining ICF

(International Coach Federation) Credentials. That process requires the names and contact

information of all Clients for possible verification by the ICF. By signing this agreement, you

agree to have only your name, contact information and start and end dates of coaching shared

with ICF sta! members and/or other parties involved in this process for the sole and necessary

purpose of verifying the coaching relationship, no personal notes will be shared. Those parties

are under obligation not to share your information.
