Format and Ease of Use
Delivered as a Microsoft Word document, this agreement is ready to customise. Red text prompts guide you through what to fill in and where to add your details. You can personalise it with your logo, branding, and coaching terms, then send it to your client before their first session. Always make sure you read it before you use it to ensure it aligns with your business.
Note: This is a DIY legal tool, not personalised legal advice. If your coaching includes higher-risk areas (e.g. trauma recovery, therapy-style services, or international clients), we recommend a tailored legal review.
How to Use This Agreement
Add your coaching offer details, session format, and pricing;
Adjust cancellation terms, refund policy, and disclaimers;
Convert all red text to black; and
