Coaching & Advisory Agreement
Coaching & Advisory Agreement
This Coaching & Advisory Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between Inspire to Influence, LLC (“Company”), owned and operated by Christy Venza (“Coach and Advisor”) and the purchaser or participant (“Client”) effective upon enrollment, purchase, or participation in any Company service, program, engagement, or offering (the “Effective Date”).
By clicking “Purchase,” “Buy Now,” submitting payment, signing electronically, or otherwise enrolling in services, Client agrees to the terms set forth herein.
Services
The Company provides executive coaching, strategic advisory, leadership development, communication consulting, group facilitation, and related professional services (“Services”).
Services shall be limited to those described on www.christyvenza.com and/or associated enrollment materials for the specific engagement, program, or experience purchased by Client (“Engagement”).
The specific scope, duration, number of sessions, access arrangements, deliverables, and other included services shall be established by the applicable service description and enrollment materials presented at the time of purchase.
The Company reserves the right to make reasonable adjustments to scheduling, delivery methods, or administrative arrangements when necessary, provided such adjustments do not materially diminish the Services purchased by Client. Any material changes to the agreed scope of Services shall require mutual written agreement.
Engagement Duration and Session Use
Each Engagement is valid for the duration specified in its applicable service description or enrollment materials.
All sessions, consultations, advisory access, and other time-limited services must be used within the designated Engagement period unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company.
Unused sessions and services expire at the conclusion of the applicable Engagement period and do not automatically carry forward, convert to credits, or extend the Engagement.
Extensions may be granted at the Company's discretion and must be confirmed in writing.
Fees & Payment
Client agrees to pay all fees associated with the selected Engagement as presented at the time of purchase (“Fees”).
All payments are non-refundable except as expressly stated in this Agreement, otherwise agreed in writing, or required by applicable law.
If Client selects a payment plan, Client authorizes Company to charge scheduled payments automatically using the payment method provided at checkout, in accordance with the payment schedule disclosed at enrollment.
A payment plan represents an installment arrangement for the total Engagement investment and does not constitute a month-to-month subscription or a right to cancel the remaining financial obligation.
Client remains responsible for all scheduled payments associated with the purchased Engagement, including in the event Client voluntarily discontinues participation, subject to applicable law and the termination provisions of this Agreement.
Client agrees to communicate in good faith regarding billing concerns. Nothing in this Agreement limits Client's rights to dispute charges or exercise other protections provided by applicable law.
Client shall remain responsible for legally recoverable outstanding balances and associated collection expenses, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
If Company is unable to fulfill Services due to circumstances within Company's control, Company will make reasonable efforts to reschedule or provide an appropriate refund or credit for Services not rendered, consistent with applicable law.
No refund is owed for Services already rendered, except as required by applicable law.
Term and Termination
This Agreement begins on the Effective Date and remains in effect until completion or expiration of the purchased Engagement unless otherwise terminated in accordance with this Agreement.
Either Party may terminate the Engagement early by providing written notice to the other Party.
If Client voluntarily terminates the Engagement before its scheduled completion, previously paid Fees shall remain non-refundable, and outstanding installment payments shall remain due and payable, except as otherwise required by applicable law or expressly agreed in writing.
If Company terminates the Engagement without cause, Company shall provide an appropriate prorated refund for Services not yet rendered.
Company reserves the right to terminate an Engagement for material breach of this Agreement or conduct that is abusive, threatening, or otherwise incompatible with a productive professional relationship. Any refund or remaining payment obligations following such termination shall be determined in accordance with applicable law and the circumstances of termination.
Intellectual Property
All materials, frameworks, processes, assessments, documents, recordings, concepts, methodologies, and intellectual property provided by Company remain the sole property of Company. Client is granted a limited, non-transferable license to use materials solely for Client’s personal or internal business use.
Client agrees not to reproduce, distribute, share, publish, teach, license, modify, or commercially use Company materials or intellectual property without prior written consent.

For group programs or experiences, Company requests all participants maintain the confidentiality of fellow participants; however, confidentiality among participants cannot be guaranteed by Company.
Confidentiality obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that becomes publicly available through no breach of this Agreement, was lawfully known to the receiving Party before disclosure, or is independently developed without use of the other Party's confidential information.
