2 The Client will receive an invoice as confirmation of registration.
The agreement between Coach and the Client is concluded when the Client has made payment.

Article 4. Execution of the agreement

1 Agreements concluded with the Coachee result in an obligation of effort on the part of Coach, not a performance obligation, whereby Coach is obliged to fulfill her obligations in such a way as may be expected of Coach according to standards of care and workmanship at the time of performance.

2 Every agreement means that Coach and the Client must comply with the agreements made.
3 If and insofar as the proper execution of the agreement requires it, Coach is entitled to have specific work performed by third parties. This will always take place in consultation with the exclusive of VAT.

5 Coach is not liable for any loss of any nature whatsoever as a result of Coach having relied on incorrect and/or incomplete information supplied by the coachee unless Coach should have been aware of such incorrectness or incompleteness.
6 If a period has been agreed by Coach for the completion of specific work, this shall not be a deadline unless explicitly agreed otherwise. Consequently, exceeding the agreed period does not constitute an attributable failure on the Coach's part. The Client cannot dissolve the Agreement for this reason and is not entitled to compensation.

3 All fees are exclusive of government levies such as VAT, travel, and other expenses incurred on the Client's behalf, including but not limited to invoices from any third parties used.

4 Coach may ask the Client to pay the full advance. Where Coach has requested an advance, Coach is entitled to suspend the performance of the work until the Client has paid the advance to Coach or provided security for it.

ffered from these third parties.
