1. Coaching Relationship and Coaching Services

The coaching you receive does not constitute medical advice, and does not purport to prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease or condition. In the event of an emergency, you should always call 911.

You are solely responsible for your own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results arising out of or resulting from your interactions with your Goodpath coach.
