1. SCOPE OF COACHING
Coach will provide coaching services focused on [coaching niche/focus area, e.g. "business growth," "career transition," "health and fitness"]. Coaching is a collaborative process intended to help Client clarify goals and take action toward them.

2. SESSION STRUCTURE
- Session frequency: [e.g. weekly / bi-weekly]
- Session length: [e.g. 45 minutes]
- Format: [video call / phone / in-person]

3. FEES AND PAYMENT
- Fee: [$X per session / $X per package / $X per month]
- Payment schedule: [due on booking / monthly in advance]
- Accepted payment methods: [list]
- Late payment: [grace period and consequence, e.g. sessions paused after X days overdue]

- Coach will provide at least [24/48] hours' notice if Coach needs to reschedule.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY

6. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Client agrees to attend scheduled sessions, communicate openly, and take ownership of the actions and decisions that follow from coaching. Coaching results depend on Client's own effort and engagement, not solely on Coach's guidance.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Coach makes no guarantees of specific outcomes. Client acknowledges that coaching involves personal responsibility for actions taken, and Coach is not liable for decisions Client makes as a result of coaching conversations.

8. TERM AND TERMINATION
Either party may terminate this agreement with [X days'] written notice. Sessions already paid for but not yet delivered will be [refunded on a pro-rata basis / forfeited / credited toward future sessions] — specify your actual policy.
