The Consultant (Persistent Courage Founder Sondra Imperati, employees or contractors) has a background in executive business and marketing strategy development and coaching and is willing to provide services to the Client based on this background.
Performance of Services.
(a) The Consultant shall work with Client to develop plans and strategies that are aligned with the scope of work outlined in the proposal agreed upon by both parties.
(b) For coaching services, the Coach agrees to maintain ethical standards as outlined by the International Coaching Federation www.coachingfederation.org/ethics. It is recommended that the Client review the ICF Code of Ethics and the applicable standards of behavior.
(c) Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing his/her own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results arising out of or resulting from the coaching relationship and his/her coaching calls and interactions with the Coach. As such, the Client agrees that the Coach is not and will not be liable or responsible for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services provided by the Coach. Client understands coaching is not therapy and does not substitute for therapy if needed, and does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease.
(d) The manner in which the Services are to be performed and the specific hours to be worked by the Consultant shall be determined by the Client and the Consultant. The Client will rely on the Consultant to work as many hours as may be reasonably necessary to fulfill the Consultant's obligations under this Contract.
(e) The Consultant is not responsible if Client priorities shift and change in such a way that the scope of work, deliverables and/or their due dates are negatively impacted. Should this be the case, the Consultant and Client will discuss and agree to reasonable changes to the scope of work, deliverables, timelines and/or fees.
Payment.
The Client will pay the agreed upon fee to the Consultant for Services. Upon signing of the contract, 1/2 of the payment is due with the remaining due 1/2 way through the engagement terms. Credit options are available.
Expense Reimbursement
The Consultant shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Client for the following "out-of-pocket" expenses:
- Travel

Term
The contract will terminate upon completion of the services provided and final payment. Should additional services be required, a new contract will be developed.
Termination and Refunds
Either party may end this Contract prior to the Termination Date, with or without cause, upon 30 days' written notice to the other party ("Early Termination"). Upon Early Termination, the remaining payment will be due.
No refunds will be given for coaching and consulting services.
Unauthorized Disclosure of Information. If it appears that the Consultant has disclosed (or has threatened to disclose) Information in violation of this Contract, the Client shall be entitled to an injunction to restrain the Consultant from disclosing, in whole or in part, such Information, or from providing any Services to any party to whom such Information has been disclosed or may be disclosed. The Client shall not be prohibited by this provision from pursuing other remedies, including a claim for losses and damages.
