BACKGROUND

The Coaching HUB (the membership) is a coaching membership. The details are set out on the webpage or sales page where you signed up for the membership (membership description).

We are a limited company registered in England and Wales with company registration number 356470877 and our registered office is at 28 The Drive, London, E4 7AH.

  1. Introduction
    1. If you sign up to the membership you agree to be legally bound by this contract.
    2. If you use any of my free resources (for example a free trial, podcasts, workbooks, discovery sessions or any other resources I may offer free of charge from time to time) you also agree to be legally bound by this contract as appropriate, excluding the clauses relating to payment and consumer rights legislation.
    3. When signing up for the membership or using any resources you also agree to be legally bound by:
      my website terms of use and privacy policy;
      specific terms which apply to the membership which may be set out on the webpage for the membership or in email correspondence between us.

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

  1. Information I give you
    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. By law, consumer legislation says 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 membership description.

I shall give you information on:

the main characteristics of the membership

who we are, where we are based and how you can contact us

the price of the membership

the arrangements for payment, your access to the membership and any relevant timeframes

how to exercise your right to cancel the contract in the cooling off period (where appropriate) if you are a consumer

our complaint handling policy

  1. Signing up for the membership
    1. Below, I set out how a legally binding contract between you and me is made:
    2. You sign up for the membership either on the site or sales page by clicking on the relevant payment link or I shall send you the link by email.
    3. When you sign up for my membership by clicking on the payment link on my site or sales page, or by clicking on the payment link I send to you by email, you may receive an automatic acknowledgement. This acknowledgement does not, however, mean that you have been accepted into the membership. I may contact you in my sole discretion and refuse entry to the membership, for example if I do not think the membership is right for you or there has been a mistake in the pricing or description of the membership. I do not have any obligation to provide a reason for this refusal.
  2. The membership
    1. 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, you have protection under consumer rights legislation, including that I must provide the membership with reasonable care and skill.
    2. The availability of the membership might be affected by events beyond my reasonable control. If so, there might be a delay before I can make the membership available again.  I shall make reasonable efforts to limit the effect of any of those events, I shall keep you informed of the circumstances and I shall try to provide access as soon as those events have been fixed. Examples of events which might be beyond my reasonable control include illness, IT issues and problems with hosting providers.
    3. In the event that membership resources (or any content added by you or other members) are not available in whole or in part at any time, or become corrupted, are deleted or are failed to be stored, I shall have no liability in any circumstances.
    4. When you gain access to the resources in the membership, the resolution and quality of the resources you receive will depend on a number of factors, including the type of device you are using and your bandwidth, which may fluctuate during the course of your access. While I use all reasonable endeavours to provide a quality experience, I cannot make any guarantee as to the resolution or technical quality of the content you will receive.
    5. In order to gain access to the resources in the membership, you will need to use a personal computer, portable media player, or other device that meets the system and compatibility requirements of the membership platform and software from time to time. I may change the requirements for compatible devices from time to time and, whether a device is (or remains) compatible may depend on software or systems provided by the device manufacturer or other third parties. As a result, devices that are compatible when you sign up may cease to be compatible in the future.
    6. I reserve the right to make changes to the membership from time to time. The availability of the content, as well as platforms and compatible devices, may change from time to time. I also reserve the right to replace or remove any resources and the platforms available to you through the membership, and to otherwise make changes in how I operate it. I may from time to time, with respect to any or all members, offer certain features or other elements of the membership, including promotional features, user interfaces, plans, pricing, and advertisements.
    7. No Sharing of login details. You may not share, give or sell your login details to any other person or entity. Excessive viewings or logins by any member may be treated as fraudulent use of the membership, in which case it will result in the immediate cancellation of membership without refund. When you become a member you agree to take all actions possible to protect your login details from fraudulent use. I reserve the right to cancel any membership I believe has been compromised, or is being used fraudulently, at my sole discretion.
    8. We use all reasonable endeavours to protect our site, but we are not responsible for any viruses, bugs or similar issues. We advise that you use your own virus protection software to protect yourself.
    9. The membership is not suitable for persons under 18 years of age, and by signing up you confirm that you are eighteen 18 years of age or older.
  3. Your responsibilities
    1. You will pay the fees for the membership in accordance with the membership description.
    2. Account, Password and Security.  When you sign up for the membershipyou will be required to choose a password and user name. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and other login information, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify me of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you log out from your account at the end of each session. Each registration is for a single user only. You may not use another member’s account without prior authorization from me.
    3. Any content you post or submit to our site or to any connected platforms (including any Facebook groups) while you are a member is subject to our website terms of use and acceptable use policy.
    4. You acknowledge that deciding how to handle any issues which may arise as a result of your joining the membership, the choices you make in relation to them and whether or not you follow through on any information I provide is exclusively your responsibility.  For this reason, although I fully expect great results to come from your participation in the membership, I cannot guarantee any specific outcomes or that all members will achieve the same results.  The results are entirely dependent on your commitment and the effort you put into the resources I make available.
    5. My resources do not treat mental disorders and are not a substitute for counselling, therapy, mental health care or medical treatment of any kind.  By signing up for the membership you confirm that you will not use the resources in place of any form of counselling, therapy or medical treatment.
    6. If you are currently receiving treatment from a doctor or other healthcare professional, by agreeing to these terms and conditions and signing up for the membership, you confirm that you have consulted with the person treating you regarding the advisability of signing up for my membership and that this person is aware of and supports your decision to proceed with the membership.
  4. Fees and payment
    1. The fees for the membership are set out in the membership description.
    2. Membership fees are payable monthly or there is an option to pay a reduced price for 12 months in advance. The membership fees are billed on a periodic basis as specified at the time of purchase (e.g., monthly or yearly). Your membership subscription will continue on a recurring basis corresponding to the term of your subscription unless and until you cancel your subscription in accordance with clause 12.1 or the account or the membership is otherwise suspended or discontinued according to the terms of this agreement.
    3. As long as you remain a member in good standing, with no breaks in your membership payments, your membership fee will not increase.
    4. The membership fees are non-refundable except for:
      if you are a consumer, your right to a ‘cooling off’ period as described below (subject to clause 7.3); and
      where I cancel your membership other than under 12.3 below, you are entitled to a partial refund for any period of time which you have paid for in advance and during which you will not have access to the membership.

In all other circumstances I am not able to refund to you any of the payments you have made in advance.

  1. Cooling off period for consumers
    1. If you are a consumer, subject to 7.3, you have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason. You are a consumer if you are an individual acting for purposes which are wholly or mainly outside your business.
    2. The cancellation period will expire 14 days after you sign up for the membership.
    3. However, if you confirm to me you wish me to grant access to the membership resources during the 14 day cooling off period then you lose your right to cancel. You confirm you wish me to grant access to the membership resources by any of the following: accessing the membership site; or downloading any digital resources I make available to you; or joining any private social media group associated with the membership; or accessing any other supporting materials made available to you.  At this point my refund policy set out in clause 6.4 and my cancellation policy set out in clause 12.1 will apply. 
    4. If you cancel this contract in accordance with the cooling off period in clause 7.1, I shall reimburse to you all payments received from you promptly and using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless we have expressly agreed otherwise.  However, as specified in clause 7.3 this will only be the case if you have not logged into the membership site.
  2. Intellectual property
    1. If I provide you with any materials, whether digital or printed, any intellectual property in those materials belongs to me and unless we agree otherwise you can only use those materials for your own personal use and you may not share them with third parties.
    2. The resources in the membership (including the content on any of my websites) are provided for your information and personal use only and (unless I explicitly state or agree otherwise in writing) may not be downloaded, copied, reproduced, distributed, transmitted, broadcast, displayed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any other purpose whatsoever.
    3. From time to time I may record live sessions that I make available to you through the membership.  If you participate in such sessions, you authorise me to use your image and voice in any such recordings (and to make use of such recordings in any way I think fit) without payment, other condition or need for further consent.
  3. How I may use your personal information
    I shall use the personal information you give to me to:
      1. provide the membership;
      2. process your payment for the membership; and

    3. The obligations in clauses 10.1 and 10.2 will not apply to information which:
      has ceased to be confidential through no fault of either party;
      was already in the possession of the recipient before being disclosed by the other party; or

    3. Nothing in this contract affects your legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (also known as ‘statutory rights’). You may also have other rights in law.

    1. Except for any legal responsibility that I cannot exclude in law (such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence), I am not legally responsible for any:
    2. losses that:
      were not foreseeable to you and me when the contract was formed
      that were not caused by any breach of these terms on my part

    3. The laws of England and Wales will apply to this contract.
    4. In the event of a dispute between us, you and I agree not to engage in any conduct or communications, including on social media, designed to disparage each other or my website, products and services.
