Terms & Conditions
The Client understands that the role of the Health Coach is not to prescribe or assess micro- and macronutrient levels; provide health care, medical or nutrition therapy services; or to diagnose, treat or cure any disease, condition or other physical or mental ailment of the human body. Health Coach is not providing medical advice. Rather, the Health Coach is a mentor and guide who has been trained in holistic health & lifestyle coaching to help clients reach their own goals by helping clients devise and implement positive, sustainable lifestyle changes. The Client understands that the Health Coach is not acting in the capacity of a doctor, licensed dietician-nutritionist, psychologist or other licensed or registered professional, and that any advice given by the Health Coach is not meant to take the place of advice by these professionals. If the Client is under the care of a healthcare professional or currently uses prescription medications, the Client should discuss any dietary changes or potential dietary supplements use with his or her doctor and other health care professionals, and should not discontinue any prescription medications without first consulting his or her doctor and other health care professionals.
The Client has chosen to work with the Health Coach and understands that the information received should not be seen as medical or nursing advice and is not meant to take the place of seeing licensed health professionals.
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND RELEASE OF HEALTH CARE RELATED CLAIMS
The Client acknowledges that the Client takes full responsibility for the Client’s life and well being, as well as the lives and well-being of the Client’s family and children (where applicable), and all decisions made during and after this program.
The Client expressly assumes the risks of the Program, including the risks of trying new foods or supplements, and the risks inherent in making lifestyle changes. The Client hereby releases the Health Coach from any and all liability, damages, causes of action, allegations, suits, sums of money, claims and demands whatsoever, in law or equity, which the Client ever had, now has or will have in the future against the Health Coach, arising from the Client’s past or future participation in, or otherwise with respect to, the Program, unless arising from the gross negligence of the Health Coach.
CONFIDENTIALITY
The Health Coach will keep the Client’s information private, and will not share the Client’s information to any third party unless compelled to by law or with the consent of the Client.
ARBITRATION, CHOICE OF LAW, AND LIMITED REMEDIES
In the event that there ever arises a dispute between Health Coach and Client with respect to the services provided by Health Coach or otherwise pertaining to the relationship between the parties, the parties agree to submit to binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (Commercial Arbitration and Mediation Center for the Americas Mediation and Arbitration Rules). Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The sole remedy that can be awarded to the Client in the event that an award is granted in arbitration is refund of the Program Fee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no award of consequential, indirect or other similar types of damages may be granted to the Client.
This agreement shall be construed according to the laws of the State of Illinois. In the event that any provision of these terms are deemed unenforceable, the remaining portions of these terms shall be severed and remain in full force.
By proceeding with the Program and working with the Health Coach, the Client will be deemed to have accepted these terms unless these terms are objected to by Client in writing. Client acknowledges that: (1) it has received a copy of these terms; (2) has had an opportunity to discuss the terms with the Health Coach and, if desired, to have it reviewed by an attorney; and (3) the Client understands, accepts and agrees to abide by the terms hereof.
