Terms of Purchase
Coaching and Certification Program Terms
Buy making a purchase of either program, you agree to the following terms:
Tuition is non-refundable. With advance permission, payment is transferrable to another session once per calendar year if space is available. You may transfer groups no more than once.
In addition to tuition, two books are required for reading assignments during the program (two books for parent coaching, and two additional books if you’re also becoming certified to coach others). You may purchase them or borrow them from any reputable source. They are not included with tuition.
Parent coaching is not a replacement for therapy or other professional services you may need. If you require professional or emergency support while going through this program or otherwise, you are responsible for seeking it.
The parent coaching program does not certify you to coach others. Only successful completion of both parts – the parent coaching *and* parent coaching certification program certifies you to coach others.
The parent coaching certification program does not give you International Coaching Federation (ICF) accreditation; however, you may use hours from this program to contribute toward the ICF accreditation you may optionally choose to pursue on your own. This program, itself, is fully accredited by the ICF and American Society for the Positive Care of Children.
The trainer(s) and organization(s) providing this program are not responsible in any way for personal outcomes.
You do not currently work for, and will not create an organization or program that could be perceived as competitive with any you have purchased from us.
You commit to the following:
- Be kind and gentle with myself as I’m learning new skills or strengthening my current ones.
- Be present and compassionate with others in my group, knowing everyone is doing the best they can.
- Attend live class meetings each week of the program, with limited exceptions for illness, travel, etc. Students in the 12-week program may request up to 3 recordings and complete make-up assignments if mutually agreed upon. Full live attendance is required in the certification program to successfully complete that program.
- Complete 1-2 hours of “growth work” outside of class each week (or more, if I choose to do optional work to augment my learning).
- Keep ALL videos, intellectual property, recordings, discussions, and other materials confidential.
This Agreement is entered into by and between: Dandelion Seeds Positive Parenting (“Coach”) and the person applying for this program, named above (“Client”), whereby Coach agrees to provide Coaching and Training Services for Client focusing on the following topics/results/outcomes/goals described in the Dandelion Seeds Positive Parenting Parent Coaching program.
Description of Coaching: Coaching is partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business partnership) between the Coach and the Client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to maximize personal and professional potential. It is designed to facilitate the creation/development of personal, professional or business goals and to develop and carry out a strategy/plan for achieving those goals.

- Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing his/her own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results arising out of or resulting from the coaching relationship and his/her coaching calls and interactions with the Coach. As such, the Client agrees that the Coach is not and will not be liable or responsible for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services provided by the Coach.

The Client agrees that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporate coaching principles into those areas and implementing choices is exclusively the Client’s responsibility.
- Client acknowledges that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association and that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, or other professional advice by legal, medical or other qualified professionals and that it is the Client’s exclusive responsibility to seek such independent professional guidance as needed. If Client is currently under the care of a mental health professional, it is recommended that the Client promptly inform the mental health care provider of the nature and extent of the coaching relationship agreed upon by the Client and the Coach.
- The Client understands that in order to enhance the coaching relationship, the Client agrees to communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance and to create the time and energy to participate fully in the program.

Coach may be available to Client by e-mail in between scheduled meetings as defined by the Coach (for technical issues or attendance issues or questions/comments about the program, but not for 1:1 coaching). Coach may also be available for additional time, per Client’s request on a prorated basis).
- Schedule & Fees: This coaching agreement is valid as of the date signed. The refund policy, summarized above and listed on the Pricing page, in effect for the term of this Agreement.

If the Coach will be unavailable for a scheduled meeting, Client will be notified prior to the scheduled appointment time to the extent that is possible, emergencies notwithstanding.
- Confidentiality: This coaching relationship, as well as all information (documented or verbal) that the Client shares with the Coach as part of this relationship, is bound by principles of confidentiality . However, please be aware that the Coach-Client relationship is not considered a legally confidential relationship (like the medical and legal professions) and thus communications are not subject to the protection of any legally recognized privilege. The Coach agrees not to disclose any information pertaining to the Client without the Client’s written consent. The Coach will not disclose the Client’s name as a reference without the Client’s consent. Confidential Information does not include information that:
- was in the Coach’s possession prior to its being furnished by the Client;
- is generally known to the public or in the Client’s industry;
- is obtained by the Coach from a third party, without breach of any obligation to the Client;
- is independently developed by the Coach without use of or reference to the Client’s confidential information; or
- the Coach is required by statute, lawfully issued subpoena, or by court order to disclose;
- is disclosed to the Coach and as a result of such disclosure the Coach reasonably believes there to be an imminent or likely risk of danger or harm to the Client or others; and
- involves illegal activity. The Client also acknowledges his or her continuing obligation to raise any confidentiality questions or concerns with the Coach in a timely manner. By signing this agreement, you agree to have only your name, contact information and start and end dates of coaching shared with staff members and/or other parties involved in this process for the sole and necessary purpose of verifying the coaching relationship, no personal notes will be shared.
In the unlikely event that not enough students enroll in your selected session time, you may be asked to shift to another group that meets at a similar time, or delay the start date until sufficient enrollment has been reached.
The 12-week coaching program does not certify you to coach others. You must successfully complete that program *and* the 10-week certification program to be qualified to coach others.
The trainer(s) and organization(s) providing this program are not responsible in any way for personal outcomes.
I do not currently work for, and will not create, an organization or program that could be perceived as competitive with this one.
I understand that if not enough students enroll in the session I’ve selected, I’ll be asked to shift to another group that meets at a mutually acceptable time.
The 12-week coaching program will meet live on Zoom for one hour at the same time each week. During the optional 10-week certification program, you will also meet on your own time once per week with a practice coachee. For both programs, there is additional growth work to be completed outside of class.
I understand that this *program* is fully accredited, this program in and of itself does not make me an accredited coach. I can choose to become accredited through the International Coaching Federation or other reputable accreditation agency, using credits of the certification program toward that end.
