Group Calls
A schedule of our Program group calls will be shared with you during your enrollment in the Program or shortly thereafter, including the call-in-/login information to participate in the call.

Investment
You agree that you are financially willing and able to invest in this Program by choice, and that by so doing, you are not incurring any economic hardship in any way. If paying in full, your investment is $1325.25 (5% discount off the registration fee for making a one-time payment) and must be made upon registration in the Program. If paying in installments, payment of the first of 3 installments in the amount of $465 must be made upon registration for the Program. Two subsequent payments in the amount of $465 will be automatically drawn on this date next month and on this date the following month for a total payment of $1395.
Payment Authorization and Receipt
You give us permission to automatically charge your credit card or debit card as payment for your Program without any additional authorization, and you will receive an electronic receipt. Please note that chargebacks are not permitted, and you are agreeing that upon enrollment and by participating in this Program for any length of time, you will make payment in full.
Missed Payment
If there is a problem with the payment transaction or method, you will be notified by email and then have a 3-day grace period to make the payment following the due date, otherwise, your Program will be put on hold. If no payment is made within the 3-day grace period, your access to the Program will automatically terminate, and you will no longer be granted access.
Refund Policy
It is our intention for you to be thrilled with your Program. Yet, because this Program’s availability is limited, once you begin the Program, you have reserved that group coaching spot for yourself at the exclusion of other clients. For this reason, please make sure you understand our policies for a full refund, a partial refund, and no refund. You must request a partial refund by sending an email requesting the withdrawal and refund to info@dixonlifecoaching.com within 48 hours of the Program start date and time.
By signing below, you agree that you will not issue a chargeback for any payment made as you are fully aware of this Refund Policy and voluntarily consent to it. Should you attempt to issue a chargeback with your credit card company, this Agreement will automatically terminate upon such an attempt, regardless of whether the attempt is successful or not. You will still remain contractually responsible for payment in full for the Program.
Confidentiality Related to Group Calls
Confidentiality is important to us and to the group coaching experience. In order to create a safe coaching environment for all group members, we request that group members do not share names and/or information about any of the group process with persons outside of your Program, unless it is about your own personal experience with ADHD and/or coaching.
At the same time, because this is a group setting, you are aware that when you participate in a group call or interact with any group members by any means during the Program, including in all group calls and the online group, you are voluntarily sharing and disclosing information which may be seen, heard, collected and used by others. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for any unauthorized use of any or all of the information you share with other group participants, whether during the calls, online, in private conversations, or in any other manner.
We engage in training and continuing education pursuing and/or maintaining ICF (International Coaching Federation) Credentials. That process requires the names and contact information of all Clients for possible verification by the ICF. By signing this Agreement, you agree to have only your name, contact information, and start and end dates of coaching shared with ICF staff members and/or other parties involved in this process for the sole and necessary purpose of verifying the coaching relationship. No personal notes will be shared with the ICF.
According to the ethics of our profession, topics may be anonymously and hypothetically shared with other coaching professionals for training, supervision, mentoring, evaluation, and for coach professional development and/or consultation purposes.
Record Retention Policy
The Participant acknowledges that the Coach retains records electronically with respect to documents, information, and data acquired or shared during the term of the Coach-Participant relationship. Such records will be maintained by the Coach in a HIPAA-secure content management platform for a period of not less than two years.

The use of any identifying information that could be directly linked to you, your name, photographs, videos, and/or audio recordings containing your image, voice, text, and/or likeness provided in any aspect of the Program, will only be used by prior written consent.

Termination

Notice
All correspondence or notice required regarding the Program shall be made to each of us at the respective email addresses in the signature block below. Should your email address, billing, or contact information change at any time throughout the Program, it is your responsibility to provide your updated information to me within 3-days of any change.
Force Majeure
In the event that any cause beyond my reasonable control, including, without limitations, “acts of God”/nature, war, curtailment or interruption of transportation facilities, threats or acts of terrorism, State Department travel advisories, labor strikes or civil disturbances, unforeseen or foreseen human-initiated circumstances, health or travel restrictions, quarantines, lockdowns or precautions imposed by any government entity or agency, local, state or federal law or ordinance, or other instances, make it inadvisable, illegal, or impossible for me to perform my responsibilities or obligations under this Agreement, either because of unreasonable increased costs or the risk of injury, I will not be liable for a reasonable period of delay or for the inability to indefinitely fulfill my responsibilities and obligations.
Entire Agreement, Assignment, Survivability, and Waiver
This Agreement contains our entire Agreement. This Agreement may be modified or amended at any time so long as the amendment is in writing and signed by both of us. You may not assign your rights or obligations under this Agreement to anyone else, and the obligations under this Agreement shall survive indefinitely unless otherwise stated in this Agreement. If I choose to waive or not enforce one or more terms of this Agreement, it does not in any way limit my right to later enforce every part of this Agreement. If any section of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, all other sections shall be held in full force and effect.
Governing Law
This Agreement shall be construed according to the laws of the County of Lancaster in Pennsylvania, United States.
Dispute Resolution
Should we ever have any differences, it is hoped that we could work them out amicably through email correspondence. However, if we are unable to seek resolution in 14-days, we agree now that that the only method of legal dispute resolution that will be used is binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, jointly selected by both of us, unless we both agree otherwise in writing. You understand and agree now that the only remedy that can be awarded to you through arbitration is the full refund of your Payment made to date. No other actions or financial awards of consequential damages, or any other type of damages, may be granted to you. We both agree now that the decision of the arbitrator is final and binding and may be entered as a judgment into any court having the appropriate jurisdiction. You also agree that should arbitration take place, it will be held in the County of Lancaster in the State of Pennsylvania, US, where my principal place of business is located, and the prevailing party shall be entitled to all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all costs necessary to enforce the decision of the arbitrator.
Non-Disparagement
You agree to not publicly or privately make any negative or critical comments about the Program, my business or me, or to communicate with any other individual, company, or entity in a way that disparages the Program or harms my reputation in any way, including on social media at any time. In arbitration or when required by law, of course, you are not prohibited from publicly sharing your thoughts and opinions.
