Coaching Terms & Conditions
- As a client, I understand and agree that I am fully responsible for my well-being during my coaching calls, including my choices and decisions. I am aware that I can choose to discontinue coaching at any time. I recognize that coaching is not psychotherapy, medical advice, or psychiatric care and that professional referrals will be given if needed.

- I understand that life coaching is comprehensive and may involve exploration into all areas of my life, including work, finances, health, spiritual, relationships, education, and recreation. I acknowledge that deciding how to handle these issues and implement my choices is exclusively my responsibility.
- I understand that life coaching does not treat mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association, British Psychological Society & the Psychological Society of South Africa. I understand that life coaching is not a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, or substance abuse treatment, and I will not use it in place of any form of therapy.
- I promise that if I am currently in therapy or otherwise under the care of a mental health professional, that I have consulted with this person regarding the advisability of working with a life coach and that this person is aware of my decision to proceed with the life coaching relationship.
- I understand that the information will be held as confidential unless I state otherwise in writing, except as required by law.
- I understand that certain topics may be anonymously shared with other life-coaching professionals for training or consultation purposes.

I have read and agreed to the above.

Refund Policy
Refund Policy for richardvanderspuy.coach
Your purchase of coaching packages or sessions indicates your commitment to participate in the process and follow through to its conclusion. However, we also understand that unexpected events can happen. In addition to the general guidelines outlined below, refunds and cancellations will be considered individually, at the discretion of richardvanderspuy.coach. We ask the Client to be committed and faithful, and we commit to offering grace when fair.
In general, these guidelines apply for coaching refunds and cancellations:
- Once richardvanderspuy.coach has scheduled sessions with the Client, they are considered set appointments. However, if necessary, the Client may request to reschedule a session, if they give at least 24 hours advance notice.
- Any missed or cancelled sessions with less than 24 hours advance notice will be forfeited.
- If unexpected circumstances prevent the Client from completing all of their scheduled sessions, then the Client may request the sessions be deferred to later dates or for a refund for the amount pertaining to the remaining sessions. If approved, the refund will be issued, minus the 5% transaction fee where applicable.
- PQ Program: The Client may cancel an order within 24 hours of purchasing and request a refund. The refund will be issued, minus the 5% transaction fee where applicable. PQ coaching packages paid later than Thursday of any given week will only recieve a 75% refund of the $995 cost of that program as I cannot cancel a slot once it’s been used. To cancel an order, send your request to accounts@richardvanderspuy.coach – After 24 hours there is NO REFUND for the PQ part of the program as you will then retain access for 1 year to the maintenance part of the program which includes all materials covered in the 6 week period.
