Terms
The rules for using this site and participating in the program.
Last updated: [DATE]
By using this website or enrolling in the program, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site or enroll. Enrolled clients also sign a separate coaching agreement; where that agreement and these terms conflict, the coaching agreement controls.
F.E.R.N.S. Method Coaching provides relationship coaching and education: six 1:1 coaching sessions over twelve weeks, a self-paced seven-module course, and optional group calls, as described on the program page.
This is coaching, not therapy. It is not mental-health treatment and creates no clinician–patient relationship. Please read the full disclaimer before enrolling.
You must be 18 or older. The program is designed for two partners participating together, and both partners must attend the Blueprint Call and coaching sessions. We reserve the right to decline any application, including where we believe clinical care is the more appropriate path.
The program fee is $3,500 for both partners, covering the full twelve weeks. Payment plans may be available; the terms of any plan will be set out in your coaching agreement. Fees are charged through our payment processor, and you authorize the charges you agree to at enrollment.
Failure to complete payments under an agreed plan may result in suspension of access to sessions and course materials until the account is current.
[Insert your actual refund policy here. A common structure for a program of this size: full refund if requested before the first session; a prorated refund through a defined early window; no refund after that point. Whatever you choose, state it plainly and honour it exactly.]
Individual sessions may be rescheduled with at least [24/48] hours' notice. Sessions missed without notice are counted as delivered.
We may end an engagement without refund of amounts already earned if a participant is abusive toward a coach or another participant.
The F.E.R.N.S. Method, the seven-step framework, the course materials, worksheets, and everything on this website are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. Your enrollment grants you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the materials for your own relationship.
You may not record sessions, copy or redistribute course materials, share your course login, or use the materials to teach, coach, or train others. Permission to teach the method is a separate arrangement.
You may stop at any time; the refund terms above govern what's owed. We may end an engagement if these terms or the coaching agreement are breached, if payment lapses, or if we conclude the program is no longer the right support for your situation — in which case we'll tell you why and, where we can, point you somewhere better.
The service is provided "as is." We make no guarantee of any particular outcome. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, and our total liability arising out of the program or this website is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. [Insert your chosen dispute-resolution mechanism — for example, informal resolution first, then mediation or arbitration in Delaware, or courts located in Delaware. Discuss this clause with your attorney; it has real consequences.]

Note to Brian and Emily: the refund policy and dispute clause are the two sections that matter most and the two I've left for you. Fill them in and have an attorney review the whole thing before launch. This is a working draft, not legal advice.
