1.3 When buying any services, products or using any resources you also agree to be legally bound by:

1.3.1 my website terms of use and privacy policy;

1.3.2 extra terms which may add to, or replace, some of this contract, for example any specific written contract between us;

All these documents form part of this contract as though set out in full here.

2. Information I give you

2.1 Certain sections of this contract only apply to you and me if you are a ‘consumer’, that is if you are an individual acting for purposes which are wholly or mainly outside your business or profession. If you use my products or services for your business, these sections will not apply to you.  By law, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that I must give you certain key information before a legally binding contract of sale between you and me is made (see the summary box below). I shall give you this information in a clear and understandable way either in this contract or the relevant product, programme or service description we agree between us.

Information I shall give you

I shall give you information on:

the main characteristics of the services or products you want to buy

who I am, where I am based and how you can contact me

the total price of the services or products

the arrangements for payment, carrying out the services and the time by which I shall carry out the services or delivery of the product

how to exercise your right to cancel the contract

my complaint handling policy

3. Ordering services from me

3.1 Below, I set out how a legally binding contract to buy services or products between you and me is made:

3.2 You place an order either on the site by clicking on the relevant payment link or I shall send you the link by email or we shall agree another means of payment. Please read and check your order carefully before submitting it.

3.2.1 When you place your order at the end of the online checkout process by clicking on the payment link on my site, or by clicking on the payment link I send to you by email, I shall acknowledge it by email. This acknowledgement does not, however, mean that your order has been accepted.

3.2.2 Any quotation for services given by me before you make an order for services is not a binding offer by me to supply such services.  Any prices set out in a quotation remain valid for 30 days unless the price quoted is a special offer in which case it will specify an expiry date for that offer.

3.2.3 When you decide to place an order for services or products with me, this is when you offer to buy such services or products from me.

3.3.4 I may contact you to say that I do not accept your order, for example if I do not think my services are right for you or there has been a mistake in the pricing or description of the services or products, or my circumstances have changed since I gave you the quotation for the services .

3.3.5 I shall only accept your order when I confirm this to you by sending you a confirmation email or delivering the product or services. At this point:

1 a) a legally binding contract will be in place between you and me, and

2 b) I shall deliver the product or start to carry out the services as set out in the programme description on this website or in a services description agreed between us.

4. Carrying out the services

4.1 If you are a consumer, you have protection under consumer rights legislation, including that the services must be carried out with reasonable care and skill.

4.2 I shall carry out the services within the time period which is set out in the programme description or in a services description.

4.3 My services might be affected by events beyond my reasonable control. If so, there might be a delay before I can restart the services, having made reasonable efforts to limit the effect of any of those events and having kept you informed of the circumstances, but I shall try to restart the services as soon as those events have been fixed. Examples of events which might be beyond my reasonable control include internet failure or other IT problems, if I am ill or if you change the services you require from me and I have to do extra preparation.

5. One to One Coaching

5.1 All one to one coaching sessions must be taken within the timeframe specified in the program description or services description or they will expire.

5.2 Unless we agree otherwise, you can rearrange any two coaching sessions during a coaching program providing you give me at least 48 hours’ notice.  If you give me less than 48 hours’ notice or have already rearranged 2 sessions in a coaching program, unless I agree otherwise with you in advance, you will be deemed to have taken the session and you will not be able to reschedule it or entitled to any compensation for missing it.

5.3 Coaching sessions usually take place remotely via the means of communication agreed with you in advance.

6. Coaching Programs and ‘The Return To You’ group online course 

As part of a coaching program or online group course you may gain access to a dedicated online membership area. In this event you will be provided with a username and password to gain access to this area and it is important that you keep this information secure and do not share it with others.  The access to the membership or ciaching program area is for you personally and if you allow others to access this area I shall have the right to terminate your membership or coaching contract with immediate effect.

7. Digital Products (including but not limited to the Return To You Online Course) –  no right to cancel or ask for a refund once downloading starts

7.1 When you buy a digital product from me:

7.1.1 you have no right to cancel this contract or ask for a refund once you start downloading the product; and

7.1.2 you must read the following statement, agree to it, and tick the relevant box when buying the digital content: ‘I hereby consent to immediate performance of this contract when clicking on the ‘pay now’ button and acknowledge that I will lose my right of withdrawal from the contract or to ask for a refund once the download of the digital content has begun’.

7.1.3 If you are a consumer, you have certain legal rights, including that the digital products are of satisfactory quality and match their description.

8. Your responsibilities

8.1 You will pay the price for the products or services in accordance with the product, program or services description.

8.2 You will provide me with such information and assistance (and ensure that any information is complete and accurate) as I reasonably need to provide the services.

8.3 When you attend coaching sessions you will ensure that you are not undertaking any other activities at the same time, such as driving or answering emails.  This is to ensure that you are able fully to concentrate on our session and maximise the benefits of it.

8.4 Coaching is not therapy or counselling. It may involve all areas of your life, including work, finances, relationships, spirituality and education. You acknowledge that deciding how to handle these issues and the choices you make in relation to them is exclusively your responsibility. For this reason I cannot guarantee any specific outcomes when you use my products or services or that all clients will achieve the same results.

8.5 My role is to offer you insight and accountability and help you make positive lifestyle changes in order to make progress towards your goals.  The information I provide to you is not medical advice and is not intended to take the place of seeing licensed health professionals.

8.6 Mentoring does not treat mental disorders and is not a substitute for counselling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care or medical treatment of any kind.  By entering into this agreement you confirm that you will not use my services or products in place of any form of therapy.

8.7 If you are currently receiving treatment from a doctor or other healthcare professional and are entering into one of my mentoring program, by entering into this agreement you confirm that you have consulted with this person regarding the advisability of working with a mentor and that this person is aware of and supports your decision to proceed with the mentoring program described in the relevant program or services description.

8.8 If you are using my mentoring services you will keep me informed of any changes to your medical health or personal circumstances.

9. Charges and payment for Coaching, Courses and Programmes.

9.1 The price for the service is set out in the relevant program or services description.

9.2 The fees are non-refundable except for:

9.2.1 where I cancel a coaching program other than under 16.3 below, you are entitled to a partial refund for sessions which you have paid for in advance and which you have not received; and

9.2.2 if you are a consumer, your right to a ‘cooling off’ period as described below.

9.3 Payment is via the ‘pay now’ button on this website or as agreed between us or set out in the relevant product or services description.

9.4 I require payment in advance for coaching services. Coaching is sold as a one-off session or by packages. In certain circumstances I may agree to payment by instalments, in which case a supplementary fee may be chargeable. If I agree to accept payment by instalments for coaching services and you fail to make any of the instalment payments on the due date then I reserve the right to invoice you immediately for the whole of the outstanding balance and payment for that invoice will be due by return and in addition I shall charge you a late payment fee of £50 to cover the administration costs involved in chasing payment.

9.5 If your full payment or any instalments are not paid on the due date, all mentoring sessions will cease and I may charge interest on any balance outstanding at the rate of 4 percentage points a year above HSBC Bank's base rate.

9.6 We operate a no opt out / no refund policy.

Please view this an a chance to invest in yourself as all of my experiences are designed to help you grow.

Whether it’s a short-term process or an ongoing membership like the Return To You course, it's not something that you can cancel and opt-out of at any time.

From the moment you come into contact with me you are being given an opportunity to step more fully into your wild personal growth as the leader in your own life — right here in your decision-making process, before even clicking “Complete Order.”

Our experiences will most likely challenge you. They will most likely will stir up resistance — and sometimes that looks like pulling away from the community, getting triggered by myself, community mentors or guest teachers, or even wanting to throw the towel in completely. There will be phases of excitement, frustration and clarity. Often the biggest breakthroughs come just after the greatest resistance. I want you to be all in, so you can become confident in your ability to trust your unique process and commit to seeing through the challenging parts.

10. Charges and payment for the Return to You online course

10.1 The price is a package price for the whole experience.

10.2 Payment is either up front, or monthly in advance via the payment link given to you. (Options to pay by card, or Paypal are offered.)

11.6 Following confirmation from you under 11.4, if you start a one to one or group programme during the cancellation period and subsequently decide that you do not wish to proceed with the sessions, I am not able to refund to you any of the payments you have made as payment is for the program as a whole and not for individual sessions.  

This is a reflection of the of the amount of preparation I need to put into the program to make it most effective for you and the amount of time I shall dedicate and set aside for preparing for and attending our sessions together. This policy also helps you with your own accountability and commitment to improving your life and your business through the services.

12. Effects of cancellation

12.1 If you are a consumer and you cancel a contract for services in accordance with the 14 day cooling off period in clause 11.2, I shall reimburse to you all payments received from you except where I am allowed to keep such payments such as where I have started carrying out the services within the 14–day cancellation period.

12.2 I shall make the reimbursement promptly and using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless we have expressly agreed otherwise.
