Mud on My Stilettos and WP Consulting Group Terms and Conditions

This Agreement is entered into by and between Mud on My Stilettos (a division of WP Consulting Group) and/or WP Consulting Group, any of its consultants, and Client (who purchases a Package) whereby Consultant agrees to provide Services for Client.

Description of Consulting: This is a partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business partnership) between the Consultant and the Client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to maximize personal and professional 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.

1) Consultant-Client Relationship

A. Consultant agrees to maintain the ethics and standards of business.

B. Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing their own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results arising out of or resulting from the consulting relationship and their calls and interactions with the Consultant. As such, the Client agrees that the Consultant is not and will not be liable or responsible for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services provided by the Consultant. Client understands consulting is not therapy and does not substitute for therapy if needed, and does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease.

C. Client further acknowledges that he/she may terminate or discontinue the consulting relationship at any time.

D. Client acknowledges that consulting is a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of his or her life, including work, finances, health, relationships and education. The Client agrees that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporate consulting principles into those areas and implementing choices is exclusively the Client’s responsibility.

E. Client acknowledges that consulting does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association and that consulting 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 consulting relationship agreed upon by the Client and the Consultant.

F. The Client understands that in order to enhance the consulting relationship, the Client agrees to communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance and to create the time and energy to participate fully in the program.

The parties agree to engage in a Consulting Program which will be in the Package and confirmed by email. Consultant will be available to Client by email and in between scheduled meetings as defined by the Consultant and will vary by Package. Consultant may also be available for additional time, as outlined in the available packages. 

All one on one appointments must be booked within one year of the purchase date. Any remaining appointments that have not been scheduled within one year from purchase will expire and no longer be included in this contract.

This consulting  agreement is valid as soon as the package booking has been made and will continue to be for future package bookings. The fees will be paid in advance when booking each package. The calls/meetings shall be outlined in the package you have booked. The rates of the package you have already booked will not change. Future packages may be subject to a rate change that you would agree to when booking. 

As previously stated, Client acknowledges that he/she may terminate or discontinue the consulting relationship at any time. Partial refunds will not be given for memberships. Rather, auto-pays will stop with the next billing cycle.

The time of the consulting meetings and/or location will be determined by the Consultant based on the appointment time chosen by the client. The details of the meeting will be found in the Google Calendar appointment and/or email communications or otherwise specified by the Consultant. 

5) Confidentiality

This consulting  relationship, as well as all information (documented or verbal) that the Client shares with the Consultant as part of this relationship, is bound by confidentiality. However, please be aware that the Consulting-Client relationship is not considered a legally confidential relationship (like the medical and legal professions) and thus communications are not subject to the protection of any legally recognized privilege. The Consultant agrees not to disclose any information pertaining to the Client without the Client’s written consent. The Consultant will not disclose the Client’s name as a reference without the Client’s consent.

Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) was in the Consultant’s possession prior to its being furnished by the Client; (b) is generally known to the public or in the Client’s industry; (c) is obtained by the Consultant from a third party, without breach of any obligation to the Client; (d) is independently developed by the Consultant without use of or reference to the Client’s confidential information; or (e) the Consultant is required by statute, lawfully issued subpoena, or by court order to disclose; (f) is disclosed to the Consultant and as a result of such disclosure the Consultant 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 his or her continuing obligation to raise any confidentiality questions or concerns with the Consultant in a timely manner.

6) Release of Information 

According to the ethics of our profession, topics may be anonymously and hypothetically shared with other consulting professionals for training, supervision, mentoring, evaluation, and for professional development and/or consultation purposes.

7) Cancellation Policy

Client agrees that it is the Client's responsibility to notify the Consultant 24 hours in advance of the scheduled calls/meetings. Consultant will not reimburse or add an appointment for the Client for a missed meeting unless agreed upon in advance.

8) Termination

Either the Client or the Consultant may terminate this Agreement at any time. 

9) Limited Liability

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Consultant makes no guarantees, representations or warranties of any kind or nature, express or implied with respect to the consulting services negotiated, agreed upon and rendered. In no event shall the Consultant be liable to the Client for any indirect, consequential or special damages. Notwithstanding any damages that the Client may incur, the Consultant’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 Consultant under this Agreement for all consulting services rendered through and including the termination date.

This document reflects the entire agreement between the Consultant and the Client, and reflects a complete understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter. This Agreement supersedes all prior written and oral representations. The Agreement may not be amended, altered or supplemented except in writing signed by both the Consultant and the Client.

11) Dispute Resolution

If a dispute arises out of this Agreement that cannot be resolved by mutual consent, the Client and Consultant agree to attempt to mediate in good faith for up to 30 days after notice given. If the dispute is not so resolved, and in the event of legal action, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover attorney’s fees and court costs from the other party.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable. If the Court finds that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision it would become valid and enforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.

13) Waiver

The failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or limitation of that party's right to subsequently enforce and compel strict compliance with every provision of this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws without giving effect to any conflicts of laws provisions.

15) Binding Effect

This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permissible assigns.
