Using the Upskill Coach Services

As a Client or Coach registered with the Company, it is your responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of your login information and to restrict access to your computer. You also agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account regardless of who actually uses your account name or password.

The Website and the Services offered are provided solely as an online platform to connect Clients and Coaches interested in having a coaching session and does not claim to act on behalf of licensed professionals able to provide professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment or counseling, psychotherapy, or psychiatric evaluation, psychiatric therapy, or any other service requiring professional accreditation.

You are informed that there are distinct boundaries between the responsibilities of coaching and the responsibilities of psychotherapy, counselling, or any other medical treatments. Coaching has a goal of developing strategies to reach client-identified goals of enhanced performance and personal satisfaction. Coaching values clarification and uses personal strategic planning, motivational skills, brainstorming, and other similar techniques. However, coaching does not involve the use of skills that only licensed professionals are permitted to deliver such as diagnosing or treating mental or physical health disorders. While your health is incredibly valuable to us at Upskill Coach, it is important to keep in mind that it is your responsibility to manage your own mental and physical health, including obtaining necessary exams and ongoing support as needed. Coaching is a supplement to such a support system and should not be used as a replacement for it.

Exceptions to this are situations where: you are required by law or an immediate risk to someone may be involved.

The Company does not make any guarantees regarding your results or earnings through the use of our Website.

Stripe Payments

Upskill Coach is partnered with Stripe to help facilitate payments for our coaches.

A Standard Stripe account is a conventional Stripe account controlled directly by the account holder i.e. you, the coach. You will be required to set up an account with Stripe as part of the onboarding process. Any use of that information is governed by your agreement with Stripe and subject to Stripe’s Privacy Policy. We do not see this information when it is being submitted and we do not have any control over the use of this information

This includes transactions that were not processed due to a network communication error, or any other reason. If you process a transaction, it is your responsibility to verify that the transaction was successfully processed.

Client Cancellation and Refund Policy

You as a client, not Upskill Coach, are solely responsible for honouring any confirmed appointments. If you choose to enter into a transaction with a coach/expert by scheduling an appointment via the Upskill Coach website, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms of our cancellation policy;

You will not be entitled to a refund if you do not show up for a coaching session, without having provided at least 48 hours’ notice of cancellation.
The coach can cancel at any time in the event of non-payment.
Appointments can only be rearranged in accordance with the section in these terms and conditions headed “Rescheduling Policy”.

In exceptional circumstances, for example, illness or unavailability due to bereavement or other commitments, inappropriate behaviour by the customer, actual or potential conflict of interests, the coach may decide to terminate the customer’s service early or refuse or may not provide the customer with further coaching sessions. In such circumstances, the coach will give the customer a reasonable notice of termination where any advance payments made for coaching sessions not yet provided will be reimbursed to the customer.

Client Rescheduling Policy

To reschedule an appointment with more than 48 hours notice, you, the client can use the rescheduling link within the Bookings tab to rebook your appointment. This must be done a minimum of 48 hours before the coaching session is scheduled to begin. If the coach is unable to accommodate your availability, you are entitled to a full refund.
If you attempt to reschedule your appointment with less than 48 hours notice and the coach is unable to accommodate you, your coaching session will be forfeited without refund.

Coach Rescheduling Policy

In exceptional circumstances coaches may need to rearrange a coaching session; in these circumstances, our coaches will use reasonable endeavours to provide a mutually satisfactory alternative appointment to the client.

Coach Refund Policy

A coach has 10 days to refund the buyer’s original payment method. Once you issue a refund, we ask the client to let us know that they received it. We consider the cancellation to be complete when:

The client doesn’t respond to our request to confirm receipt of the refund after 10 days.
The buyer confirms they received the refund.

You, the coach, have 10 business days to issue refunds. If you can’t come to an agreement, you or the client can ask us to step in and help. We’ll review the details of the case and make a decision within 48 hours. If you have been improperly charged for an Appointment that was cancelled and you require a refund, please contact [email protected].

We are aware that our coaches normally work with their clients to quickly resolve any issues, but if you can’t agree on a solution, you can ask us to step in and help. Contact us on [email protected].
