9.2  The Company will immediately notify you if the Personnel are unavailable or unable to perform this Agreement and will nominate suitable replacement Personnel.

10.  Referred Clients
Once we are satisfied that you are of sufficient competence we will provide you with the contact details of your first Referred Client.  You agree to be bound by the following terms:

10.1 You will be required to schedule a session for a mutually convenient time between you and the Referred Client at a suitable venue (going to the clients place of work is recommended). This session must be arranged within 30 days of receipt and scheduled to take place within 60 days.  If it is not possible to arrange the session within these timescales the Referred Client must be passed back to the Company.

10.2 We shall endeavour to allocate you Referred Clients which are closest geographically to your trading address.  However, this cannot be guaranteed and you agree that you may have to travel on occasions.

10.3 The sessions are for 'short days', typically 4-5 hours in length. It is recommended that you commence at approximately10am, take an hour for lunch around 12.30pm (as this gives you chance to get to know your client on a more personal level) and then work until approximately 4pm. The session must be of a minimum duration of 4 hours.

10.4 Upon completion of the session you will ask the Referred Client to fill in a feedback/evaluation form which you agree to submit to the Company within 48 hours of the session taking place which must be submitted via a unique link on the Company’s website. Failure to return this feedback may result in the Company ceasing to provide you with further Referred Clients.

10.5 Providing the feedback from the Referred Client remains of a standard acceptable to the Company, we will then provide you with the contact details of your next client and we guarantee to give you 10 clients at a flat rate of £250 within a 6 month time period.

10.6 Upon satisfactory completion of the session and receipt of the completed feedback form, you can immediately invoice us for £250.00 (plus VAT at the prevailing rate, if applicable).  Your invoice will be paid within 30 days of receipt on the basis that the Company has received full payment from the Referred Client for the session.

10.7 You may agree additional sessions with Referred Clients in accordance with the following:

10.7.1 Referred Clients are always clients of the Company even if you arrange additional sessions yourself. 

10.7.2 You may provide additional sessions to Referred Clients.  However, these additional sessions must be arranged and carried out in consultation with the Company.

10.7.2 Any payment in respect of any additional session must be done via the Company and the client will pay us directly and then we pay you, as per the initial session (see Clause 10.6). This will be discussed in more detail at the Course.

10.7.3 Please note some clients will have signed up for more than one session, therefore you may get 2 or more sessions with the same client in any event.

10.8 Where you have sourced a client yourself and it is not a Referred Client you may invoice the client and receive payment direct.  You do not have to pay any part of your consultancy fee to the Company. 

10.9 However, we would expect you to charge considerably more than £250 per session. Our objective is to help you find your own clients and build a successful consultancy business for yourself as soon as possible.

10.10 We would expect you to provide us with ongoing feedback from Self Sourced Clients in order that we can monitor your progress and so we can continue to provide you with Referred Clients.

10.11 The Company has no obligation to pass Referred Clients to you.

11.  Performance and Competence
Throughout the duration of a Course you will be assessed by the Company’s team to ensure that you are of sufficient competence to engage Referred Clients from the Company.  There are several factors that will allow us to determine that you are ready and competent to accept the Company’s Referred Clients:

11.1 Ongoing assessment at the 3 day training by the Company’s team. It is therefore vital that you attend the whole of the training.

11.2 Delivering one 'practice session' to a client sourced by you.  This can be a friend or colleague, paid or free, it doesn't matter) and having them complete a feedback form that is sent to us.  The practice session achieves 2 outcomes. First, it gives you a chance to field test the skills you learn at the 3 day training and provides us with feedback from a 'real' client before you are provided with any Referred Clients.  Secondly, if a coach is unable to find one person to deliver a session to, even when it’s free, then they are extremely unlikely to go and find their own paying clients after the program and therefore it is likely that we will consider that they are not suitable to participate in the programme.

11.3 In the unlikely event we feel that you are not yet competent to receive Referred Clients at the end of the 3 day training Course, either Dan Bradbury or a member of the Company’s team of experienced business coaches will provide you some extra mentoring until you are ready. 

11.4 If, for whatever reason, at the end of the Course and/or after any additional support, we are not satisfied that you will be able to reach the required standard within a reasonable period of time or we consider that there is a lack of motivation or effort on your part, we may decide not to provide you with any Referred Clients and we will refund you your Course fee in full.

11.5 If you fail to attend any part of the Course or we consider that you have not participated in any part of the scheduled activities or training, or lack the motivation or desire to proceed with the Course, or we consider that you have only attended the Course in order to receive Referred Clients, then we reserve the right to ask you to leave the Course before its conclusion and you will received a refund of your Course fee in full.

11.6 If you complete the Course but you decide that you do not wish to progress to becoming a coaching clients, then no refund of the Course fee will be provided if we consider that you would be considered competent to receive Referred Clients.

12.  Changes & Cancellation

12.1  If you wish to make any change(s) to your order for Products/Services an administration fee may be payable.

12.2 If you wish to cancel your order for a Product or Service, we must receive written notification by post within 7 days of your order/or the date that this contract was signed to the following address: Dan Bradbury Ltd, Clarence House, Clarence Street, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, CV31 2AD. United Kingdom.

12.3 If you are a member and wish to cancel your membership, we must receive written notification by post no later than 15 days before  your next billing cycle to the following address: Dan Bradbury Ltd, Clarence House, Clarence Street, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, CV31 2AD. United Kingdom.

12.4 Upon cancellation of membership, you must also return or reimburse Dan Bradbury Ltd to the full price for any bonuses and Course materials received with the purchase of the Course/product/membership.  An administration fee may also be charged.

12.5 When booking a Service, delegates must inform the Company of the date of their chosen event within 14 days of their booking.  Failure to do so will result in the booking being deemed a cancellation and all monies paid will be forfeited and not eligible for a refund.
