The Ultimate 1-on-1 Coaching Agreement
— Avoid Being Blamed, Burned, or Buried in Drama

This isn’t just a contract — it’s your backup when clients ghost, overstep, demand a refund, or blame you when they don’t do the work.

You’ve been there — a client ghosts mid-package, asks for a refund, or blames you when they don’t follow through.

This Coaching Agreement shuts that down before it starts. It sets expectations, makes your scope crystal-clear, and protects your time & reputation — even if clients cancel or stop showing up.

You’ll get two versions:

  • A contract you can send for e-signature

  • And terms & conditions you can upload to your platform, so clients agree at checkout

No complicated legalese. Just a lawyer-crafted agreement you & your client actually understand.

For just $149

🔥 Why You’ll Love This 1-on-1 Coaching Agreement Template 🔥

Real coaching requires trust, clarity, and strong boundaries. This contract gives you all three — without legal fluff.

📌 Set Boundaries Like a Pro
Define your scope, availability, and access policies — no more last-minute calls, late-night messages, or “just one more question” DMs.

💸 Your Refund + Reschedule Terms? Locked In.
Handle no-shows, ghosting, and last-minute cancellations with confidence — because your terms are clearly spelled out (and agreed to upfront).

🧠 Disclaimers That Actually Fit Your Coaching Niche
Includes a la carte disclaimers for niches like mindset, business, wellness, relationships, finance, real estate, and more — not generic legal filler.

📝 Two Flexible Formats — You Choose the Setup
Use the signed contract for 1-on-1 clients, or the checkout-ready Terms & Conditions if you’re selling coaching online.

  • Absolutely! My contract templates are designed for global use, regardless of your location.

    As a contract lawyer registered with The Netherlands Bar and with extensive experience in cross-border transactions, I have crafted these templates to accommodate legal systems worldwide.

    The templates have been reviewed by licensed lawyers in France, the UK, Florida, and New York, ensuring their enforceability across different jurisdictions, including common law countries like the US and UK, civil law countries like those in the EU, and pluralist systems like Canada.

    Please note that while these contracts offer a cost-effective solution to hiring a lawyer for a tailor-made contract, they're not a substitute for personalised legal advice. These templates serve as an accessible starting point, saving you thousands of dollars that would typically be spent on bespoke contract drafting.

    Every time I make a major update, you will be notified by email.

    The latest version will always be available through the link provided at purchase, ensuring your contract remains current.

    I prioritise thoroughness and clarity, yet my contracts are also designed with user-friendliness in mind.

    Each contract comes with helpful comments and guidance to assist you through the drafting process.

    So, while my contracts may not be condensed into a couple of pages, they offer thoroughness without sacrificing usability. With my guidance, you can confidently navigate the complexities of contracts and ensure that your business interests are well-protected.

  • The purchase of a contract does not create an attorney-client relationship.

    Although Selene Snippe has created these contracts and is a lawyer by profession, Selene Snippe is not YOUR lawyer. As this Website is NOT a law firm, purchasing or downloading a contract does not establish any kind of attorney-client relationship.

    An attorney-client relationship between you and Selene Snippe and/or Selene the Lawyer is only formed after you and Selene the Lawyer have entered into an engagement letter for specific legal services.

  • By purchasing a contract you are not entitled to email communication, calls, (virtual or physical) meetings, or any other type of communication with Selene the Lawyer and/or Selene Snippe.

    These reusable contracts do not include access to Selene the Lawyer and/or Selene Snippe or any legal advice or feedback, and these contracts are priced accordingly.

  • The contracts offered on this website are non-refundable.

    Please carefully review the details and descriptions of each contract before purchasing to ensure it fits your needs.
