You agree that you will participate fully in the Workshop, including completion of assignments, attendance at meetings and communications with us, our coaches, and other participants.  You understand and agree that your participation in the Workshop may be terminated if you are not meeting the expectations laid out for participation in the Workshop.  In this case, a partial refund may be provided at our sole and absolute discretion.

Compensation & Expenses. You agree to pay to us the Workshop fee as set forth in the Workshop Overview (the “Fee”), plus all applicable taxes. You also acknowledge that our obligation to provide the Services is conditioned upon the full payment of the Fee. 

Nature of Our Duties and Responsibilities. You hereby acknowledge and agree that our duties and responsibilities hereunder consist only in the performance of our Services under this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that at all times you have sole discretion, responsibility and authority to make your own employment and business related decisions. We are not responsible for, and will not be liable for, any work, act, omission, decisions, negligence, gross negligence, or intentional misconduct on your part. You acknowledge and agree that the Services consist of coaching, which is not advice, therapy, nor counseling. Your communications with us are not subject to any privilege.

 

Your Obligations. You acknowledge and agree that our ability to meet any schedules may be dependent upon your prompt performance of your obligations and that any delays in your performance or changes in the Services requested by you may delay delivery of the Services and any Deliverables.

General. None of the responsibilities and obligations of ours under this Agreement shall in any way or in any manner be deemed to create any liability of us to, or any rights in, any person or entity other than you. If a party hereto delayed or prevented from performing any obligation due to fire, act of God, governmental act or failure to act, strike, labor dispute, inability to procure materials, or any cause beyond such parties (as applicable) reasonable control, then the time for performance of such obligation shall be excused for the period of such delay or prevention and extended for a period equal to the period of such delay or prevention. No force majeure event shall excuse the timely payment of all items due under this Agreement. Financial disability or hardship will never constitute a force majeure event. This Agreement constitutes the entire and fully integrated agreement between the parties with respect

to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any and all other agreements between the parties related thereto, as well as all proposals, oral or written, and all negotiations, conversations, or discussions between the parties related to this Agreement. This Agreement will not be deemed or construed to be modified, amended, rescinded, canceled, or waived, in whole or in part, except by written amendment signed by the parties hereto. If any of the terms of this Agreement are in conflict with any rule of law or statutory provision or otherwise unenforceable under the laws or regulations of any government or subdivision thereof, such terms will be deemed stricken from this Agreement, but the other terms of this Agreement will continue in force, unless the invalid or unenforceable provisions are inseparable from, the remainder of this Agreement. Each party has participated in the negotiation and preparation of this

Agreement; therefore, this Agreement shall be construed in a fair and objective manner and not strictly for or against either party. This Agreement may be executed electronically and in two or more counterparts, and each such counterpart will be deemed an original hereof. No failure by either party to take any action or assert any right hereunder will be deemed to be a waiver of that right. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota. All disputes, claims, and controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be resolved by litigation in the courts of the State of Minnesota in Hennepin County, Minnesota.
