If you run a business that involves coaching others – whether you’re a life, business, dating or sport coach – it’s vital to have a robust agreement in place with your customers to protect both parties.
A Coaching Agreement can significantly minimise your liability, ensure your customers fully understand the exact service you are providing, and offer clarity on payment terms. This clear outline can save you valuable time by eliminating the need to chase late payments or repeatedly explain the scope of your services.
What Is Included In A Coaching Agreement?
Typically, Coaching Agreements include clauses covering:
- Payment terms and late payment provisions
- The detailed scope of services you will be providing
- Liability and indemnity protections
- Intellectual property ownership – for example, if you create original coaching materials and wish to prevent unauthorised copying
- Confidentiality obligations
- The duration of the agreement
- Termination provisions and cancellation policies
