No Guaranteed Nature of Transformational Coaching Relationship.  I understand that Transformational Coaching is not a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, trauma therapy, mental health care, or substance abuse treatment, and I will not use it in place of any form of therapy.  I understand that my coach does not claim to be, is not acting as, and should not be used in lieu of a licensed medical or mental health professional of any kind.  If I am currently under the care of a mental health professional, it is my responsibility to consult with that person regarding the advisability of working with a life coach and to make that person aware of my decision to proceed with Transformational Coaching. If at any time I feel the need for professional counseling or therapy, it is my responsibility to seek a licensed professional to provide such services.  I also understand that Transformational Coaching is not a substitute for professional advice by legal, medical, financial, business, or other qualified professionals.  I am responsible for seeking independent professional guidance in these specialized areas.  I understand that all decisions in these areas are exclusively mine and I acknowledge that my decisions and my actions regarding them are my responsibility.

Assumption of Risks.  I understand that participating in Transformational Coaching entails risks and challenges associated with an intensive program of personal development, including, by way of example, physical, mental or emotional distress that may accompany significant life changes.  By signing this Agreement, I am freely and voluntarily assuming the risks arising from my participation in Transformational Coaching (including risks that cannot be foreseen at this time). I take full responsibility for my personal health and well-being, my actions and decisions, and my personal care during my coaching engagement and thereafter.  

Outcomes.  I understand that coaching outcomes can be subjective and can vary greatly depending upon individual circumstances and individual effort invested in the coaching process.  Coaching does not guarantee that I will take any specific action and does not offer any guarantee of success.  As such, I understand that the Company makes no guarantee, representation or warranty of any nature or kind that coaching will be effective or will result in any particular outcome.  I agree that I will not hold the Company or my coach responsible, in whole or in part, for any result that I do or do not achieve.

Waiver and Release of Liability.  On my own behalf and on behalf of my heirs, next of kin, family members, estate, beneficiaries, executors, administrators and representatives, I hereby WAIVE, RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE the Company, Kristine Elyse in her individual capacity, and each of the Company’s Authorized Coaches, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, beneficiaries and assigns (collectively, the “Life Force Coaching”) from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages and causes of action of any nature or kind that I have or may in the future have arising out of or in connection with my participation in coaching or any other educational programs or services or any advice, information, suggestion, or recommendation that I receive in connection therewith, whether such claims arise from negligence, breach of any duty imposed by law, mistake or error in judgment, or from any other cause, and whether such claims are known or unknown, or suspected or unsuspected (all such claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages and causes of action are referred to collectively herein as the “Released Claims”).

Agreement Not To Sue; Indemnity.  In addition, on my own behalf and on behalf of my heirs, next of kin, family members, estate, beneficiaries, executors, administrators and representatives, I covenant and agree that (i) I will not institute or attempt to institute any legal action, arbitration, demand or proceeding against any member of the Life Force Coaching Group based upon any Released Claim, and (ii) I will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Life Force Coaching and each of them from and against any losses, claims, liabilities, expenses or damages, including attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred in connection with the defense of any Released Claim or any other breach of my obligations under this Agreement.

Confidentiality.  I agree to preserve the sanctity and safety of any group coaching process in which I participate by maintaining the confidentiality of all information communicated by other coaching clients during group coaching sessions.  I agree not to disclose any teleconference bridge numbers or other access codes to any third party.  To provide me with the highest quality of service, I understand that my coach may discuss and receive coaching on certain topics anonymously and hypothetically with other coaches within the Life Force Coaching Group.  

Intellectual Property.  To honor and protect the Company’s intellectual property, I agree not to disclose, reproduce or distribute my coach's written materials, techniques or methods to any third party without my coach’s prior written consent.  I understand that the Company’s written and recorded materials are protected by US intellectual property laws, and I agree not to copy, reproduce or distribute any such materials for any reason without the Company’s prior written consent.

Independent Counsel. Each Party to this Agreement represents and warrants that it has been represented by counsel of its choice in connection with this Agreement and is executing this Agreement with full knowledge and understanding of its terms, that each signatory has full authority to execute the Agreement and to bind itself to the Agreement by execution hereof, and that each Party has obtained all necessary legal approvals to enter into this Agreement.

Waiver.  I acknowledge that any amendment to, or waiver of, any provision of this Agreement must be agreed to in writing by each of the Parties hereto.  A waiver by any Party of a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement or of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions of this Agreement.

Confidentiality.  I agree to confidentiality with respect to all information communicated by both the Company, and Authorized Coach and the other coaching clients during group coaching sessions, and acknowledge that any breach of this confidentiality may cause irreparable harm to the other coaching clients and the Company and that any such breach would be material. Except as and to the extent required by law I will not disclose information in conflict with this Confidentiality clause. 

Non-Disparage.  I agree to not make disparaging or derogatory remarks, whether oral or written, about the Company, Authorized Coaches or participating coaching clients, from now and henceforth.

Social Media/Filming.  I understand that filming, taking of photos or posting of content of the Coaching Sessions on any social media handle or for any use that is not explicitly authorized is strictly prohibited and will constitute a breach of this Agreement.

Payment and Cancellation Policy.  I acknowledge that payment in full is required unless specified and agreed upon by both parties. I understand that the Company maintains a 24-hour cancellation policy. If I am late for an appointment, the coaching session will end at the previously arranged time, without a discount of fees, unless arrangements were agreed upon beforehand.  No refunds will be provided in the event of my failure to attend a scheduled session.

Termination.  I understand that I am free to terminate my coaching engagement at any time, but I will not receive a refund for outstanding or pre-paid sessions.  Coaching sessions are non-transferable.  I understand that the terms of this Agreement shall survive the termination of my coaching engagement.

Dispute Resolution; Limitation of Liability.  In the unlikely event of a dispute arising from or relating to my coaching engagement or this Agreement, the dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration, which will occur via telephone by an arbitrator that is mutually-approved by the parties. The costs of the arbitration will be shared equally by the parties; provided, that the prevailing party will be entitled to reimbursement by the other party of its reasonable costs and expenses incurred therein, including its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. I agree that if any member of the Life Force Coaching Group is found liable for any loss or damage, then to the fullest extent permitted by law, the aggregate collective liability of the Life Force Coaching Group shall be limited to a refund of amounts I have paid to the Company for services under this Agreement.

BreathWork/Somatic Work.  If it so happens that Breathwork or Somatic Work of any kind is part of the service, I acknowledge that I have voluntarily enrolled in this Breathwork activity. I understand that I am under no obligation of any kind to participate in this Breathwork/Somatic Work activity and I voluntarily enter into this Waiver and Release of Liability. I understand that Breathwork/Somatic Work is a personal growth experience designed to enhance the quality of life, and is not a substitute for psychotherapy. I understand that this Breathwork/Somatic Work activity will involve strong connected breathing and may include guided meditation. I understand that Breathwork/Somatic Work can involve dramatic experiences accompanied by strong emotional and physical responses. I understand that I may find Breathwork/Somatic Work physically, emotionally, and/or mentally stressful. I hereby affirm that I am in good health and able to participate in this activity. I do not have any physical or mental conditions which would impair my ability to engage in this activity or which would otherwise endanger my health during this Breathwork/Somatic Work activity, or which would cause any risk of harm to myself or other participants. I understand that this Breathwork/Somatic Work activity is not medically supervised. I have hereby been advised that I should talk to my physician and/or psychotherapist if I have any questions about my physical or mental ability to safely participate in this Breathwork/Somatic Work activity. If I have chosen not to obtain a physician's consent prior to my participation in Breathwork/Somatic Work, I hereby agree that I am doing so solely at my own risk. I understand that it is my sole responsibility to participate in activities that are appropriate for the current status of my health and to modify this Breathwork/Somatic Work activity to accommodate my own needs or limitations. If I have any questions or concerns about whether or not a particular activity is appropriate to my current health status, I understand it is my responsibility to ask my doctor before I participate in such activity. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Kristine Elyse, Life Force Coaching. and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all claims and expenses, including attorney’s fees, arising out of my participation in this Breathwork/Somatic Work activity. In consideration of my participation in this Breathwork/Somatic Work activity, I hereby waive and release Kristine Elyse, Life Force Coaching. from any and all claims, costs, liability and expense for any injury, loss or damage whether known, anticipated or unanticipated arising from my participation in Breathwork/Somatic Work. This Waiver and Release of Liability shall be construed broadly to provide a release and waiver to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law. I acknowledge that I have thoroughly read this Waiver and Release of Liability in its entirety and fully understand it. By signing this document, I am waiving certain rights I and/or my successors might have to bring legal action or assert a claim against Kristine Elyse or Life Force Coaching. 

Miscellaneous.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall be binding upon me and my heirs, next of kin, family members, estate, trustees, beneficiaries, executors, administrators and representatives.  Each member of the Life Force Coaching Group is an express third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, fully entitled to enforce his or her rights hereunder.  No amendment, change or modification to this Agreement shall be valid unless it is in a writing signed by both parties.  This Agreement may be executed by an electronic, jpeg, PDF, facsimile or other digital method of signature, and all such methods of signature shall be fully binding.
