General Coaching and Service Terms

Summary


To keep these terms as simple as possible, here are the key points. The full legal text can be found on the following pages.

  1. When we agree and confirm arrangements, we have entered into a contract. Prices listed on the website or in personal offers apply. For seminars, workshops, or “presentation days,” the price at the time of registration applies.
  2. I commit to effort, not results, as outcomes depend on various factors. I will do my best to achieve the desired result.
  3. I am not liable for any events resulting from my (online) coaching, courses, or training. Participants are responsible for their actions and behavior.
  4. For personal coaching, the following cancellation periods apply: a. Cancellation up to 5 business days in advance: no cost. b. Cancellation up to 2 business days in advance: 33% of the cost. c. Cancellation within 48 hours: 100% of the cost.
  5. For seminars, workshops, or “presentation days,” the following apply: a. Cancellation 4 weeks in advance: no cost. b. Cancellation up to 1 week in advance: 50% of the cost. c. Cancellation within 1 week: 100% of the cost.
  6. For in-house training, the following apply: a. Cancellation up to 4 weeks in advance: 10% of the quoted price. b. Cancellation up to 2 weeks in advance: 50% of the quoted price. c. Cancellation within 2 weeks: 100% of the quoted price.
  7. Cancellations must be made via email, or via email and SMS for short-notice cancellations.
  8. In case of force majeure, we will work together to find a solution, but these principles apply.
  9. I may cancel a session or training if absolutely necessary, and I will notify you at least 24 hours in advance.
  10. Ownership rights to all documents and materials you receive remain with me or the original rights holder.
  11. Payment deadlines begin with respect to the cancellation periods.
  12. I offer a money-back guarantee. If, within 1 week of a seminar, workshop, or “presentation day,” you are dissatisfied with the service provided, you do not have to pay. This will also terminate our agreement and my service. I expect you to only use this guarantee if you are genuinely dissatisfied.
  13. If you, as a client, fail to meet your (payment) obligations, I can terminate the contract.
  14. If either of us becomes insolvent or is declared bankrupt, the other party may terminate the contract.
  15. I am bound by confidentiality, meaning I will not share anything said during a seminar, workshop, presentation day, or coaching session with others, including the company paying for the service, unless you have given explicit consent.
  16. In case of a conflict, we will first try to resolve it through dialogue, possibly with a mediator. Only as a last resort will we go to court.
