This Agreement is entered into by and between: Dorsey McFadden, Live Happy ADHD Coaching 3000 W. Grace St. #202 Richmond Va 23221 and the undersigned whereby Coach agrees to provide Coaching Services for Client.

Description of Coaching: Coaching is partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business partnership) between the Coach and the Client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to maximize personal and professional potential. It is designed to facilitate the creation/development of personal, professional or business goals and to develop and carry out a strategy/plan for achieving those goals.

1) Coach-Client Relationship:

1) Coach agrees to maintain the ethics and standards of behavior established by the International Coaching Federation “(ICF)”. www.coachingfederation.org/ethics. It is recommended that the Client review the ICF Code of Ethics and the applicable standards of behavior.

2) Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing his/her own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results arising out of or resulting from the coaching relationship and his/her coaching calls and interactions with the Coach. As such, the Client agrees that the Coach is not and will not be liable or responsible for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services provided by the Coach.

3) The client understands coaching is not therapy and does not substitute for therapy if needed, and does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease. Client further acknowledges that he/she may terminate or discontinue the coaching relationship at any time.

4) Client acknowledges that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of his or her life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation. The Client agrees that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporate coaching principles into those areas and implementing choices is exclusively the Client’s responsibility.

Client acknowledges that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association and that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, or other professional advice by legal, medical or other qualified professionals and that it is the Client’s exclusive responsibility to seek such independent professional guidance as needed. If Client is currently under the care of a mental health professional, it is recommended that the Client promptly inform the mental health care provider of the nature and extent of the coaching relationship agreed upon by the Client and the Coach.

6) The Client understands that in order to enhance the coaching relationship, the Client agrees to communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance and to create the time and energy to participate fully in the program.

2) Services:

The parties agree to engage in a coaching engagement through internet video meetings. Coach will be available to Client by email, text and voicemail in between scheduled meetings, Monday through Friday between 9 am and 6 pm EST unless otherwise engaged (e.g. with another client or professional commitment).

The coach may also be available for additional time, per Client’s request on a prorated basis rate of $150 per hour (for example, reviewing documents, reading or writing reports, engaging in other Client-related services outside of coaching hours).

3) Fees & Payment:

This coaching agreement is valid as of the date of the client’s original subscription purchase via Squarespace. You will be recommitting to this agreement when each appointment is scheduled through this tool.

An additional welcome packet will be emailed to the client after purchase including details of the subscription or package purchased. These sessions are valid for 3 months after the date of the client's original purchase and following subscription payments. If rates change before this agreement has been signed and dated, the prevailing rates will apply.

Refund policy: There are no refunds for purchased sessions but subscriptions can be canceled at any time.

4) Cancellation Policy:

Cancellation Notice: We request a minimum of 24 hours/days advance notice for any appointment cancellation or rescheduling. Failure to provide sufficient notice results in a cancellation fee.

Cancellation Fee: If you fail to provide the required notice for appointment cancellation or rescheduling, a cancellation fee equaling the full amount of the session will be charged.

Rescheduling: If you wish to reschedule your appointment, we will do our best to accommodate your request based on availability. Rescheduling requests made with less than 24 hours notice may be subject to the cancellation fee.

No-Shows: If you fail to show up for your scheduled appointment without any prior notice, you will be considered a “no-show.” No-shows will result in a cancellation fee equaling the cost of a session and may affect your ability to schedule future appointments.

Other Circumstances: We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, and we will make exceptions for emergencies or unavoidable situations. In such cases, please contact us as soon as possible to discuss your situation and potential alternatives.

Communication: To cancel or reschedule your appointment, please refer to the booking confirmation email.

You are responsible for setting and using sessions. Missed sessions will be rescheduled during the month of occurrence; they may not be carried forward to another month. Any sessions paid for but not scheduled or used within a 3 month period are forfeit.

Please note that this policy is in place to ensure fairness to both our valued clients and our business. By scheduling an appointment with us, you acknowledge and agree to adhere to this cancellation policy.

5) Termination & Refunds:

Either the Client or the Coach may terminate this Agreement at any time with 1 week 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. With a subscription, sessions that have already been paid for will not be refunded. For a package 50% of any unexpired and unused sessions will be refunded.

5) Procedure:

The time of the coaching meetings and/or location will be determined by Coach and Client based on a mutually agreed upon time. If the Coach will be at any other number for a scheduled call, the Client will be notified prior to the scheduled appointment time.

6) Confidentiality:

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.

6) Release of Information:

The Coach engages in training and continuing education pursuing and/or maintaining ICF (International Coach Federation) Credentials. That process requires the names and contact information of all Clients for possible verification by the ICF. By signing this agreement, you agree to have only your name, contact information and start and end dates of coaching shared with ICF 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.

According to the ethics of our profession, topics may be anonymously and hypothetically shared with other coaching professionals for training, supervision, mentoring, evaluation, and for coach professional development and/or consultation purposes.

7) Feed Forward:

If I ever say or do anything that upsets you or that doesn’t feel right, please bring it up. I promise to make it right for you. We will work on all things like this as a team. I value truth and expect you to tell me how to be the best coach for you.

8) Referrals:

Referrals drive the growth of my practice. If you're finding value in our collaboration, I kindly ask you to consider recommending colleagues and friends who might benefit from my services. Drawing from a network of diverse coaches and their areas of expertise, I'm more than willing to engage with anyone you refer. My aim is to ensure a seamless fit, connecting them with the coach best suited to address their specific needs – whether that's me or another qualified coach in my network. Your support in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

9) Impact Statement:

Before or at the conclusion of the coaching relationship, I will request that you give an Impact Statement describing the value received from coaching which I can copy and use for certification, testimonial text, and/or in response to prospect inquiries.

10) 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. Such records will be maintained by the Coach in a format of the Coach’s choice (print or digital/electronic) for a period of not less than 2 years.

12) Limited Liability:

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.

13) Entire Agreement:

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.

14) Dispute Resolution:

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 14 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.

15) Severability:

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.

16) Waiver:

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.

17) Applicable Law:

This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Virginia, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws provisions.
