11.  The Client agrees to comply with all reasonable requests of the Coach necessary to the performance of the Coach's obligations under this Agreement.

12.  a) Coaching is a relationship where a coach supports, collaborates with, and facilitates client learning and action by helping an individual identify and achieve future goals through assessment, discovery, reflection, goal setting and strategic action. It is not a quick fix. Coaching is not therapy, psychological counselling, psychoanalysis or related services nor business management, financial services/analysis or similar nor does the Coach claim to provide any of these – but coaching may address specific projects or general conditions (in the lives of the Client's employees being coached), value clarification, brainstorming, identifying plans of action, examining modes of operating in life, ask clarifying questions and make empowering requests. The Client and the Client's employees are free to reject any advice, suggestion(s) or request(s) made.

b) The Coach recognises that the Client and/or the Client's employees may have future plans, business affairs, client/customer lists, financial information, job information, goals, personal information and other private information. The Coach will not, either directly or indirectly, voluntarily use any information revealed by the Client nor tell someone else (other than information that is in the public domain through other means). Confidentiality will not exist where disclosure is required by law or where the Coach has reasonable grounds for believing a criminal offence is involved.

13.  This Agreement is not assignable by either party without the consent of the other.

14.  This agreement may be terminated by the Client by giving at least one week's prior written notification on the occurrence of the following events but in the event of such termination full fees are due for all completed and invoiced parts of the work.

b)  Material breach by the Coach of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

15.  Should the Client fail to pay the Coach all or any part of the payments as specified in clause 9, the Coach is not obliged to continue provision of the services until each relevant instalment is settled in full. The Coach, at the option of the Coach, may terminate this Agreement if any failure is not remedied by the Client within twenty (20) days from the date payment is due.

16.  Any notices to be given hereunder by either party to the other may be effected either by personal delivery in writing or by recorded delivery post. Posted notices shall be addressed to the parties at the addresses appearing at the top of this agreement but each party may change the address by written notice served in accordance with this paragraph. Notices delivered personally will be deemed communicated as of actual receipt; notices sent by recorded delivery post will be deemed communicated as of two days after posting.

17.  This Agreement supersedes all proposals, oral and written, and contains all agreements between the parties with respect to the rendering of the works in any manner whatsoever. Each party to the Agreements acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or otherwise, have been made by any party or anyone acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied herein, and that no other agreement, statement or promises not contained in the Agreement shall be valid or binding. Any modification of this Agreement will be effective only if it is in writing and signed by both parties.

18.  If any provision in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will nevertheless continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way. This Agreement is to be governed by the Law of England.
