3. Cancellations and Missed Appointments

  • At least 24 hours' notice is required for cancellations or rescheduling.

  • Missed sessions without prior notice are non-refundable.

  • To ensure a productive session, clients agree to limit distractions such as phone calls, emails, or interruptions.

  • Clients are active participants in their coaching journey and should come prepared for each session.

7. Refunds and Termination

  • Either party may terminate the agreement with 30 days' notice.

  • Refunds may be granted if the coach breaches these terms and conditions.

    • Purchase of The Wellness Blueprint Licence confirms agreement with the Licence Agreement.
