(a) In the event that any authorised charge applied by us to your card fails, you remain responsible for payment as agreed to, as well as any penalty/late fees as detailed below.
(b) Late Payment Fee. If any fee outlined in this Agreement remains unpaid on the 7th day following its due date, a late fee of ten percent (10%) of the payment due will be assessed; a late fee will be assessed following each subsequent 7-day period. Company reserves the right to restrict your access to the Services or terminate your participation in the Programme unless and until all outstanding fees have been paid in full.
(c) Payment Security and Disputes. To the extent that Client provides Company with credit/debit card(s) information for payment on Client’s account, Company shall be authorised to charge Client’s card(s) or account(s) for any unpaid charges on the dates set forth in this Agreement. If Client selects the multiple payment/instalment plan to make payments to Company, Company shall be authorised to make all charges at the time they are due and not require separate authorisation in order to do so.
Client agrees to not fraudulently initiate any payment disputes at any time to Company’s account through Client’s financial institution. In the event that Client inadvertently disputes a charge made to the account, Client agrees to immediately cancel/withdraw such a dispute. Client agrees to not cancel the credit/debit card that is provided as security without Company’s prior written consent. Client is responsible for any fees, including attorney’s fees, associated with recouping payment on disputes and any collection fees associated with such an event.
(d) Tools to be Provided by Client. Client agrees to provide all tools, information, and documentation that may be required by the Company to effectively perform said Services.
(e) Client understands that Client’s success in the Programme is dependent upon Client’s level of participation in the Services. In order to get the most out of the Programme, Client must also work to implement the tools and strategies learned throughout the Programme and make considerable efforts toward Client’s own business development on Client’s own time during the term of the Programme. Client is responsible for requesting support from the Company when needed, and within the term of the Programme.
3. TERM
The term of this Agreement shall be three (3) months beginning on 15 March 2026 and ending on 15 June 2026. If left blank, the date this Agreement is signed. Upon completion of the 3-month term, Client will no longer have access to all Services and the Programme, aside from lifetime access to the self-study online course materials mentioned in section 1 - Inclusions. Client and Company may choose to renew this Agreement for an additional term upon signing of a new agreement.
4. COMMUNICATION
Communication in our relationship is of the utmost importance. All written communication will take place via e-mail or Telegram.
If there is a time that either the Client or Company will be unavailable (vacation, illness, etc.), that needs to be communicated, and a check-in date must be established as far in advance as possible. Our contact info is as follows:
E-mail: victoria@thecareerscientistway.com
All communications will be acknowledged/responded to within 24-48 hours, not including weekends, The Netherlands public holidays, reasonable holidays/days off sick, etc. (if longer than 3 working days, a contract extension will apply).
Communications will typically be checked and responded to once daily, and up to a maximum of 10 minutes worth of voice notes can be responded to in a single session. Outside of this amount, the Client may need to wait until the next daily check-in to hear back.
5. CANCELLATIONS, POSTPONEMENTS, AND REFUNDS
a) Client may cancel participation in the Programme at any time for any reason by providing written notice to the Company. Upon cancellation, access to the Programme and Services will be terminated. However, cancellation of the participation and/or this Agreement by Client will not extinguish the Client’s obligation to pay the full Programme fee as outlined in Section 2(a). Client will remain obligated to pay all remaining unpaid Programme fees in full.
(b) In the event that Client engages in abusive or unprofessional behaviour in the Programme or towards representatives of Company, Company reserves the right to cancel Client’s participation and terminate access to the Services, without notice. No refund will be provided in the event that this takes place. Client will remain obligated to pay all remaining unpaid Programme fees in full.
(c) Company may decide to terminate the coaching relationship at any time. In the event that Company decides to do so, Company may release Client from any further financial obligation under the Contract.
(d) Client’s failure to effectively participate in the Programme nor attend calls is not grounds for a refund.
(e) Rescheduling. Sessions/calls will be scheduled using an online scheduling tool. In the event that Client cannot attend a scheduled call, Client shall inform Company via email or WhatsApp with a minimum of 24 hours notice. One courtesy cancellation/rescheduling will be provided for the term of the Agreement. Any further cancellations of calls will be rescheduled at Company’s discretion; however, cancellations within 24 hours’ notice will automatically be considered forfeited by Client. Client is not entitled to a partial or full refund in the event that this forfeiture takes place.
In the event that Client is late to a scheduled session/call, the session will end at the originally scheduled time. In the event that Company cannot host the scheduled call at the previously scheduled time due to illness, travel, or other unexpected circumstances, Company will make a reasonable effort to reschedule the call at the earliest possible convenience.
The Client acknowledges that attending their coaching calls is ultimately their responsibility so any additional need to reschedule coaching calls, even with advance notice, will not result in Programme extension. In other words, all calls must be used within the term of the Agreement, or will otherwise be forfeited.
f) Emergency and/or Medical Leave. In the event that one (or more) of Company’s primary service provider(s)/representative(s) is required to take an emergency or medical-related leave of absence during the term of this Agreement, the following terms apply:
1) Company agrees to notify Client in writing via WhatsApp of any leave of absence that affects the rendering of services; 2) Client understands that in the event of the Company notifying client of this leave, all communication with company will be placed on hold until further notice. This will not be considered a material change to this Agreement. 3) The Agreement will be extended by the amount of leave taken. For example, in the extremely rare event that Victoria is not available for 2 weeks, the Client will be set up with sufficient work to carry on with and the end date of the Agreement will be extended by 2 weeks.
In the event that the Client is sick, takes leave (medical or otherwise) or cannot work on their business for a specified period of time, there will be no extension given to the agreement, and the original Term remains in force.
(g) Refund Policy. Due to the nature of the services provided, no refunds can be provided. Client understands that disputing a charge through his or her financial institution (in the form of a “chargeback”) is a violation of this Agreement and agrees to not do so.
(h) The Programme and Term cannot be paused or placed on hold for any reason without the written authorisation of the Company.
(i) Force Majeure. Notwithstanding the above, the Company may choose to be excused of any further performance obligations in the event of a disastrous occurrence outside the control of Company that materially affects the Services provided in this Agreement, including: 1. A natural disaster (fires, explosions, earthquakes, hurricane, flooding, storms, or infestation); or 2. War, invasion, act of foreign enemies, embargo, or other hostility (whether declared or not); or 3. Any hazardous situation created outside the control of either party, such as a riot, disorder, pandemic or epidemic, nuclear leak or explosion, or act or threat of terrorism. In the event that Section 5(h) applies, the Company will be permitted to make a reasonable effort to reschedule calls/sessions/etc. as needed in order to comply with the terms of this Agreement; however, will not be found in breach if this is not possible due to the circumstances.
6. NO GUARANTEES
(a) Company cannot guarantee the outcome of the Services and/or participation in the Programme. Company makes no guarantees other than that the Inclusions described in Section 1 shall be provided to Client in accordance with this Agreement.
Client acknowledges that Company cannot guarantee any results of the Services/Programme as such outcomes are based on subjective factors (including, but not limited to, Client’s participation) that cannot be controlled by Company. Any testimonials or reviews shared by Company are not a representation of guaranteed results, only possible results. Client not achieving his or her desired results is not grounds for a refund.
(b) From time to time, and upon Client’s request, Company and/or its representatives may provide Client with recommendations or referrals for third-party service providers. Company in no way guarantees the quality of service provided by any third party and bears no liability with respect to such service or experience.
