4. Force majeure
Dr. F. F. is entitled to change the original agreed coaching dates, in case of force majeur. Illness, accidents or similar incidents may also fall into the category of force majeur.
In this case, the seminar leader or coach will notify clients as soon as possible and offer an alternative date. In any case, if the client is not available or reachable under the designated phone number and email address, the client will not be eligible to claim travel costs or other costs occured.

 

5. Copyright
All documents issued to the client are included in the agreed remuneration, unless otherwise agreed. The documents are intended for the personal use of the client.
The copyrights of the documents at the seminar - and the coaching concepts - are with Dr. F. F. solely. The client it is not allowed to reproduce the documents without the written consent of Dr. Friederike in whole or in part and may not make the documents accessible to third parties. A publication, even in extracts, is prohibited.

 

6. Insurance protection
Each client has full responsibility for itself and his actions within and outside of the seminars and coaching and shall be liable for any damage. 
The coaching is not a psychotherapy, and does not replace it. The participation requires a regular mental and physical sustainability which each client (if necessary, under the inclusion of Medical Council) has to take responsibility of. Organizer of team coaching, seminars, workshops, etc. is always the client. The client therefore has no insurance coverage by Dr. F. F.

 

7. Liability  
Information and advice in coaching sessions as well as in all the documentation are carefully examined and tested by the coach. The activities of Dr. F. F. are a pure service activity.
There is no obligation to provide  success. Any liability is excluded. The delivery or the electronic transmission of any data is at sole risk of the client.

 

8. Confidentiality
Dr. F. F. is obliged, within the scope of execution of the rendered services, to maintain strict confidentiality towards third parties in regards to business and private information known of the client even after the termination of the contract.

In addition to the above, Dr. F. F. will care and protect any documents of the client against accessibility and inspection of third parties.

 

9. Duty of the client
The coaching is conducted on the basis of previous conversations between the parties. It is based on cooperation and mutual trust. Coaching is an active business process and certain success cannot be guaranteed. Dr. F. F. is a process facilitator for the client and active as support for decisions and changes to the client - the actual change is to conducted by the client itself. The client should be therefore ready and open to deal with itself and the situation.

 

10. Demarcations of coaching to psychotherapy
Coaching is not therapy, and does not replace it either. Coaching is based on a coach client relationship, which is characterised by a mutual partnership and it clearly limits the role of coaches to the role of therapists and doctors. Psychotherapy is problem and symptom-oriented, deals with the past and seeks to heal old wounds. Coaching is solution-oriented and focused on the present, future and the activity. Psychotherapy is the treatment of mental illness. Coaching serves "healthy" people who are capable in daily life and capable of self-reflection.
The result of a coaching represents not the relief of mental complaints, but the individual development of the client, which is accompanied by an increase in its overall quality of life.

 

11. Final clauses
Should individual provisions of the contract with the client including these general terms and conditions become totally or partly ineffective, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The affected regulation shall be replaced by a regulation that comes closest to the former one with regard to its economical success.
