These terms and conditions will become binding once you agree to proceed with a storytelling package, use a program or make any payment for a program.
Storytelling packages and programs
1.1 My storytelling packages and programs may be delivered online, face to face, via telephone, or a mixture of all three. Unless expressly agreed by myself, coaching and mentoring is done online via Zoom or another similar program.
1.2 If you sign up to:
(a) 1:1 Coaching and Mentoring, you will get the exact hours of your package as defined in the order form as coaching sessions.
(b) VIP Coaching Day, you will get a full day or half a day with me to work with you on your business marketing and messaging – unless expressly agreed by myself, these sessions are conducted online.

1.3 I am a copywriter, designer and storyteller, and offering mentoring and coaching services related to marketing, communications, messaging and book creation, and in no way qualified or willing to act as any other professional. I do not provide advice or support outside of my areas of expertise. Specifically, I am not qualified, willing or able to provide support in the form of counselling or therapy.
Services
2.1 I will provide you 1:1 coaching, mentoring, copywriting, book creation and design either online, or via telephone meetings. Unless expressly agreed, meetings are not conducted in-person, face-to-face.
2.2 It is your responsibility to book in a time and date that is suitable to you for 1:1 sessions included in your packages and programs. This is done via my calendar booking system. If you are not able to find a date and time that suit you, it is your responsibility to contact me to request a specific date and time. Requesting a specific date and time does not guarantee my availability. I will endeavour to work with you to ensure you are able to meet with me in a timely manner.
2.2 You must use all of your 1:1 sessions before the end of your program terms. Any unused sessions will expire at the end of the given term.

I will attempt in good faith to reschedule a missed session before the end of your program term but cannot guarantee that I will be available.
2.4 Project timeframes stated in the Storytelling Proposal assume client responsiveness regarding feedback on copywriting and design deliverables, and acknowledge that delays in your feedback and responsiveness will impact project timelines.
2.5 Delivery of storytelling package inclusions outlined in the Storytelling Proposal accepted signifies the end of your client agreement and any future copywriting, coaching, mentoring or other business relationship will constitute a separate agreement.
2.5 By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, you agree to provide feedback as detailed in your Storytelling Package proposal document (in general this will include providing answers to questions, feedback, additional information and
resources via a shared Google folder, or via Canva for design deliverables).

Fees and payment
4.1 You agree to pay the fees in full and on time, regardless of whether or not you use or access all components of a storytelling package.
