Terms & Conditions

The coaching schedule will be arranged between the Coach and the client and can be booked up to 1 month in advance. Lily will recommend the frequency of coaching sessions based on a professional assessment of the client’s requirements. This recommendation, or plan, is not binding and may be altered and adjusted throughout the coaching journey by mutual agreement, in accordance with the terms set out in this agreement.

The agreed number of sessions is contingent upon the coaching package purchased by the client.

In return for the fees payable by the client (or by a third party on their behalf), Lily agrees to provide the service as described below and in accordance with the terms and conditions set out below. The client agrees to pay fees for the service on the terms and conditions set out below (in situations where a third party pays the fees, the third party counts as an agent acting on behalf of the client).

The date that the first coaching session takes place shall be deemed to be the start date for the service. Where any client is unhappy with any of the terms and conditions, they can contact Lily to discuss any concerns and see if they can be resolved before the first coaching session. Participation by any individual in the first coaching session constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions.

Format of Sessions

Sessions are by Zoom Videoconference or phone. In all cases the client is responsible for calling the coach using the link or number provided. The coach is open to other formats by mutual agreement. Lily is responsible for ensuring that she is available for consultation at agreed times.

The length of each session is contingent on the coaching package purchased by the client. The date and time are set by the client at the time of booking on the appointment booking platform.

Session Fees

Lily’s current fees are stipulated on the website and made clear at the time of booking. She reserves the right to change these from time to time. Any payments for coaching packages paid in advance are honored even if prices have increased between the point of booking and the time of session.

Dates and Times of Sessions

The date and time of the first session and any subsequent session will be registered on the online agenda (“Google Calendar”) maintained on the website. Lily agrees to maintain his availability to match that presented by the website, and to honor the sessions booked through the “Google Calendar” online bookings platform.

Sessions can only be rearranged in accordance with the section in these terms and conditions headed “Rearranging Sessions”.

Payment Terms

Fees can be paid online by debit or credit card, or by using the “Stripe” payments gateway linked to the coaching packages payment links on the website, www.thepathfindercode.com.

Receipts and/or invoices are automatically generated via Stripe and will be sent by e-mail.

Fees are payable in advance for the selected coaching package, unless otherwise agreed. Where payment has not been received by Lily in advance of a coaching session Lily is not obliged to provide the session.

Where payment is required on receipt of invoice rather than in advance, a charge may be levied for late payment.

Between Sessions

Lily may assign the client tasks or exercises to complete between coaching sessions. There is no obligation on the client to complete these items of ‘homework’, but not doing so may slow the client’s progress in gaining improved quality of life or achieving desired business or personal outcomes.

The client may contact Lily by e-mail in between sessions to seek clarification regarding anything arising from a coaching session or for administrative purposes (e.g., when a client needs to rearrange a coaching session or make a payment).

Rearranging Sessions

If a client needs to rearrange a coaching session, they should provide at least 48 hours’ notice. No refunds will be given to clients for unused coaching sessions unless 48 hours’ notice has been given. In exceptional circumstances Lily may need to rearrange a coaching session. In those instances, he will also give the client 48 hours’ notice where practical.

Where a client pays for a coaching package in advance, they must have the coaching session(s) that they have paid for within 6 months of the payment or their fee is forfeited.

Confidentiality

Personal information or business information supplied by clients in coaching sessions will be treated as confidential. It will not be disclosed to a third party without the client’s prior permission, save where required by law or where action might be necessary to prevent harm to the client or someone else.

Early Termination

In exceptional circumstances, such as illness or unavailability due to bereavement or other commitments, inappropriate behavior by the client, actual or potential conflict of interest, or other reasons, Lily can decide to terminate the service to the client early or refuse or be unable to provide further coaching sessions to the client. In such a circumstance the client will be given reasonable notice of termination by Lily where practicable and will be refunded any advance payments made for coaching sessions not yet provided.

Responsibilities

Lily will seek to enable the client to improve their personal growth or level of business success and to achieve their desired outcomes. Remarkable results can be achieved where clients follow a clear plan in a committed way. However, the client has sole responsibility for taking important decisions in their life or business. Lily has no liability for any loss incurred by any client, whether financial or otherwise, following commencement of coaching sessions, or for any perceived failure by the client, whether justified or otherwise, to achieve a material improvement in quality of life, career or business or to achieve their desired outcomes or goals.

Variation of Terms & Conditions

Where an Initial Number of Sessions is agreed, any changes to these terms and conditions intended to take effect prior to the conclusion of those Initial Number of Sessions will only have effect if agreed by both Lily and the client and confirmed by Lily in writing by email or letter. If following receipt of such notification of change, the client no longer wishes to proceed with further coaching sessions, they may withdraw from the service immediately by giving notice in writing by email and they will then be entitled to a refund of any fees paid in advance for coaching sessions, not yet provided. Such notice will be effective on receipt by Lily.
