5. Rescheduling Sessions and No-Shows
Coaching sessions can be rescheduled by either the coachee or the coach upon mutual agreement with a minimum of 24 hours’ notice. Email is the primary method to communicate around schedule changes.
In case of an urgent need to postpone or advance the session with a less than 24 hours’ notice before the originally planned session start, the coach or coachee will notify the other side either by email or by mobile phone. In case of the latter a regular cell phone or WhatsApp call, voice or text message can be used.
There is no cost associated with rescheduling a paid session while respecting the 24 hours’ notice period. An attempt of rescheduling a paid session later than 24 hours in advance will result in incurring full session fee. Rescheduling a free intake is free of charge irrespectively of the notice period.
The coach will wait for the coachee for 15 minutes after the session start. If the coachee does not show up within the first 15 minutes of the session and failed to inform the coach about an expected delay by then, the session will end and be charged.

The type of a coaching session may be adjusted at a later stage after booking upon mutual agreement. This change may be initiated by either the coachee or the coach with a minimum of 24 hours’ notice. Email is the primary method to communicate around session type changes. In case of an urgent need to change the type of the session with a less than 24 hours’ notice before the planned session, the coach or coachee will notify the other side either by email or by mobile phone. I the case of the latter a regular cell phone or WhatsApp call, voice or text message can be used.
Changing a face-to-face session to an online one may be a good choice due to health and safety considerations, as well as in case of unexpected travel or care duties at home. Due to bad weather conditions, upon mutual agreement, a walk & talk session may be converted to a live session in the coaching practice, or to an online session format. No additional payments for a change in the session format will apply.
7. Transferring Sessions
Both single sessions and packages are for individual use and may not be shared, resold or redistributed to other private persons or third parties. All bookings are non-transferrable, which means that an unused single session or a part of a package may not be transferred to a different coachee.
8. Validity of Packages
Coaching sessions may be booked individually or as packages of multiple appointments. Please note that a single session may not be converted to a multi-session package at a later stage. While packages typically have a lower cost per session, they have limited validity date. All sessions within a package should be used within the period stipulated in the coaching agreement. After that period all unused session credits lose their validity and may no longer be claimed.
9. Cancellation Conditions
The appointments may be cancelled by both sides up to until 24 hours before the planned session start. Email is the primary method to communicate the decision to cancel the appointment.

In the case of the latter, a regular mobile phone call or a WhatsApp call, voice or text message can be used.
There are no additional costs associated with cancelling a free intake session, irrespectively of the notice period. In case of a cancellation initiated by the coachee or a no-show, no refunds will be offered for sessions that had been paid upfront. A cancellation of a paid session communicated later than 24 hours in advance or a no-show will result in incurring a full session fee.
In case the coach is obliged to cancel a session and/or terminate the coaching relationship altogether, e.g., due to health, safety or ethical concerns, the coachee will receive a full refund for the sessions that had been paid for upfront and eventually cancelled by the coach.
10. Terminating the Coaching Relationship

In that case the termination is subject to a notice period of minimum 24 hours prior to the start of the next scheduled session.
There are no additional costs associated with terminating the coaching relationship. Please bear in mind that there are no refunds offered for sessions ending earlier than the scheduled time nor the unused part of coaching packages.
