The terms and conditions below apply to all coaching and mentoring services provided by The Life Assignment Coaching and Consulting, LLC. (“the coach”), to any individual or organization (“the client”) and constitute the contract for the service to be provided by TLA for the client. The term ‘coaching’ as here used covers life coaching, personal coaching, personal development, trauma informed coaching, couples coaching and spiritual coaching for clients and where applicable includes mentoring or supervision services provided for clients, coaches or others.

In the spirit of good practice, when you are purchasing coaching services from me I ask you to confirm that you have read and agreed to each statement below and that you wish to proceed.

All coaching services and communication, email or otherwise, delivered by myself, TLA , as well as information on this website (thelifeassignmentcoaching.info) are meant to help you work through limiting beliefs as a result of unexpected transition and related trauma – to increase self awareness, to come to terms with change events, and to overcome them in order to move forward into happiness, well-being and abundance. Coaching is not a substitute for professional mental health care or medical care.

The term ‘coaching’ as here used covers life coaching and personal coaching, but it also extends to prayer coaching and transitional coaching for clients.

The Life Assignment Coaching and Consulting, LLC. is continually striving to ensure the standard of service  provided to its clients remains excellent. At the end of the coaching process, or series of coaching sessions, the client will be asked to complete a feedback form.

In committing to life coaching with TLA, you acknowledge the following:

The time of the coaching meetings and/or location will be determined by Coach and Client based on a mutually agreed upon time. The Coach will initiate the online meeting link for all scheduled video calls and will be present to meet with the Client at the agreed upon time.  If the session is a phone call session, the Client will call the Coach at the  number provided for all scheduled meetings.  If the Coach will be at any other number for

a scheduled call, Client will be notified prior to the scheduled appointment time.

This coaching relationship, as well as all information (documented or verbal) that the Client shares with the Coach as part of this relationship, is bound by the principles of confidentiality set forth in the ICF Code of Ethics. However, please be aware that the Coach-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 Coach agrees not to disclose any information pertaining to the Client without the Client’s written consent. The Coach 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 Coach’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 Coach from a third party, without breach of any obligation to the Client; (d) is independently developed by the Coach without use of or reference to the Client’s confidential information; or (e) the Coach is required by statute, lawfully issued subpoena, or by court order to disclose; (f) is disclosed to the Coach and as a result of such disclosure the Coach 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 Coach in a timely manner.

Release of Information (Optional, based upon specific situation)

The Coach engages in training and continuing education pursuing and/or maintaining Coach Certification Credentials. That process requires the names and contact information

of all Clients for possible verification by training agency. By signing this agreement, you agree to have only your name, contact information and start and end dates of coaching shared with agency staff 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.

Record Retention Policy 

The Client acknowledges that the Coach has disclosed his/her record retention policy with respect to documents, information and data acquired or shared during the term of the Coach-Client relationship.

Either the Client or the Coach may terminate this Agreement at any time within the contracted # of weeks with written notice.  Client agrees to compensate the Coach for all coaching services rendered through and including the effective date of termination of the coaching relationship.

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

This document reflects the entire agreement between the Coach 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 Coach and the Client.

If a dispute arises out of this Agreement that cannot be resolved by mutual consent, the Client and Coach 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.

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 of the State of New Jersey, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws provisions.

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