By Accessing Free To Speak, you (the Client) agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.
THIS SERVICE AGREEMENT is made between Michele Zirkle (“Mentor”) and the client (“Client”).
WHEREAS, Client desires to receive certain consulting services from Mentor, and Mentor desires to provide such services on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, f or mutual consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Client and Mentor hereby agree as follows:
Mentor agrees to develop and provide the services set forth in this agreement.
Mentor and Client agree that the Services shall be provided on such dates and at such locations as the parties hereto in good faith mutually agree to.
In providing the Services, Mentor will employ a range of methodologies to suit Client’s personal values and style. Client agrees to be open minded and partake in methods proposed. Client understands that Mentor makes no guarantees as to the outcome of the Services, and Client hereby acknowledges that Mentor is not an employment agent, business manager, financial analyst or psychotherapist.
Client acknowledges that Mentor, in consideration for the Services, will charge the credit card chosen by Client on the dates and for the amounts specified by Mentor.
Client agrees to compensate Mentor according to the payment schedule as offered by mentor. The parties hereto agree that Client’s failure to make or permit payments will cause irreparable harm to Mentor for which damages would be difficult, if not impossible, to measure, including expenses incurred in connection with losses resulting from any delay. Accordingly, as liquidated damages for losses reasonably expected to be incurred (and not as a penalty) Mentor shall charge a 5% (five percent) late penalty to all balances that are not paid when due.
Upon execution of this Agreement, Client shall be responsible for the payment amounts, on the payment dates, as offered by Mentor. If Client cancels any Service for any reason whatsoever, Client shall not be entitled to a refund.
To the extent that Client provides Mentor with credit card information for payment on Client’s account, Mentor shall be authorized to charge Client’s credit card(s) for any unpaid charges. If Client uses a multiple payment plan to make payments to Mentor, Mentor shall be authorized to make all charges at the time they are due and is not required to seek separate authorization to do so. Client hereby agrees not to make any chargebacks to Mentor’s account. Client further agrees it shall not cancel the credit card provided as security without concurrent notice to Mentor at the time such credit card is cancelled and the furnishing of replacement credit card information. Client is responsible for any fees associated with recouping payment on chargebacks and any other fees in connection with Mentor’s collection of payment hereunder.
In the event Client fails to make any of the payments within the time prescribed, Mentor has the right to immediately cease all work until payment in full is paid. In addition, should payment fail to be made within 30 days of the due date, in addition to all other amounts due hereunder, interest on the unpaid balance will accrue at a rate of 1% per month.
Mentor’s copyrighted and original materials shall be provided to the Client for Client’s individual use only. Client shall not be authorized to use any of Mentor’s intellectual property for Client’s business purposes. All intellectual property, including Mentor’s copyrighted course materials, shall remain the sole property of Mentor. No license to sell or distribute Mentor’s materials is granted or implied.
Client agrees not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, share, sell, distribute, trade or otherwise disseminate or exploit for any commercial purposes any portion of the Services or any other goods and services provided in connection therewith (including course materials), including but not limited to permitting any third party access to the Services or any other goods and services provided in connection therewith (including course materials).
Mentor has the right to use case studies of Client’s situations and results or Client testimonials in future work but without making reference to Client’s full identity. Client will always be contacted for approval prior to any case study or testimonial being published in which Client will be identified by full name.
Each party hereto represents and warrants to the other that such party has acted in good faith, and agrees to continue to so act, in the negotiation, execution, delivery, performance, and any termination of this Agreement.
Client agrees to not withhold any information necessary for Mentor to provide the Services or that could prevent the sessions from running fluidly. Client agrees to be open, present and prepared to fully participate in receiving the Services.
CLIENT ACCEPTS AND AGREES THAT CLIENT IS 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR CLIENT’S PROGRESS AND RESULTS FROM THE SERVICES.

Client is aware that Mentor does not solve medical issues nor treat disease and is therefore not a replacement for client’s medical doctor, therapist or physician. If Client is presently under any form of psychiatric care, psychological therapy, specialized medical supervision or under the influence of any form of medication, Client is to inform Mentor prior to working together.
BY USING MENTOR TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES, CLIENT ACCEPTS ANY AND ALL RISKS, FORESEEABLE OR NONFORESEEABLE, ARISING FROM SUCH TRANSACTIONS AND CLIENT’S USE OF THE SERVICES (AS DEFINED HEREIN).

ALL CLAIMS AGAINST MENTOR MUST BE LODGED WITH THE ENTITY HAVING JURISDICTION WITHIN 100 CALANDER DAYS OF THE DATE OF THE EVENTS FIRST GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR OTHERWISE BE FORFEITED FOREVER.
MENTOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFIT, REVENUE, DATA, BUSINESS OR USE) EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
