When no specific number of sessions or consultations is agreed between you and The DNA Project, the sessions or consultations will be provided on a session-by-session or consultation-by-consultation basis by agreement between you and The DNA Project as and when required. 18.4 Session platform — A session or consultation will take place between you and The DNA Project at mutually agreed places and times during the coaching period or workshop period and may be carried out in person (face-to-face) or over a telephone or through an audio and/or video conferencing platform or as otherwise agreed between you and The DNA Project. 18.4.1 Your responsibility to place call or make connection — It is your responsibility, at the designated start time of the session or consultation, to place the call to or make the audio or video conference connection with or otherwise communicate with the coach assigned to you by The DNA Project, as the case may require and where the session or consultation is not otherwise conducted in-person (face-to-face), and to pay any prices, fees and disbursements associated with placing that call or making that connection or otherwise communicating with the coach. 18.5 Possible additional charges for face-to-face coaching — Subject to any provision to the contrary in any related agreement, where in-person (face-to-face) coaching, as distinct from online or audio or video or telephone conference coaching, takes place at a mutually agreed venue other than at the offices of The DNA Project, you may be liable for any costs incurred by The DNA Project to participate in that session or consultation and to be present at that venue, including but not limited to reasonable travel and accommodation expenses and other disbursements and incidentals. 18.6 Lateness for session where clause 15.7 applies — Unless otherwise agreed in writing between you and The DNA Project or as the case may otherwise require, where clause 15.7 applies, prices, fees and disbursements for any coaching or workshop will commence at the relevant session’s or consultation’s start time as agreed in advance between you and The DNA Project, not when you arrive for a face-to-face session or consultation or place your telephone or online or audio or video conferencing call or otherwise communicate with The DNA Project. This provision shall not derogate from your liability, if applicable, under clause 18.5 to pay to The DNA Project any costs incurred by The DNA Project to participate in that session or consultation, including but not limited to reasonable travel and accommodation expenses and other disbursements and incidentals, where coaching takes place at a mutually agreed venue other than at the offices of The DNA Project. 18.7 Adherence to session time and restrictions on notification of change of session time — You must be on time for a session or consultation and all sessions or consultations, whether the sessions or consultations take place in person or by using a telephone or online or audio or video conferencing platform or otherwise howsoever. Without limiting any cancellation or termination provision of these terms and conditions and subject to any provision to the contrary in any related agreement, a session or consultation time may be changed by you only if you give to The DNA Project no less than 24 hours’ notice of your wish or need to cancel or reschedule a session or consultation time, unless in the case of an unexpected and unavoidable occurrence (as determined by The DNA Project in its sole discretion). If you regularly or consistently cancel or reschedule sessions or consultations during the coaching period, The DNA Project may, in its absolute discretion, terminate, on notice to you, any coaching agreed to be provided by The DNA Project to you and the provisions below relating to termination shall apply. 18.8 Notice required to cancel or reschedule — Subject to clauses 5.3 and 18.7, you must give The DNA Project at least 24 hours’ notice of your wish or need to cancel or reschedule a session or consultation. If less than 24 hours’ notice is given, The DNA Project may invoke clauses 5.3–5.5. 18.9 Notification by The DNA Project of required change to session time — If The DNA Project is required to cancel or reschedule a session or consultation for any reason, the session or consultation will be rescheduled, if required, at a time agreed between you and The DNA Project. The DNA Project will endeavour to give to you no less than 24 hours’ notice. Without limiting any of the indemnification provisions of these terms and conditions, in the event that The DNA Project is not able to give to you no less than 24 hours’ notice, you will not hold The DNA Project responsible or liable for any actions, proceedings, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, costs, delays or demands suffered or incurred or experienced or brought by you (or any other person or entity) caused either directly, indirectly, incidentally or consequentially in relation to The DNA Project not being able to give to you no less than 24 hours’ notice of its requirement to cancel or reschedule a session or consultation. You shall indemnify and keep The DNA Project indemnified in the event of any such actions, proceedings, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, costs, delays or demands. 18.10 Session times cannot overrun unless agreed by The DNA Project — Agreed session and consultation times cannot overrun unless, in its absolute discretion, The DNA Project agrees otherwise. The DNA Project reserves the right to coach you only for the time allocated for the session or consultation (namely, the session’s or consultation’s specific start and end times) as agreed in advance of or during the session or consultation between you and The DNA Project. 18.10.1 Extended session times may incur pro rata fee — The DNA Project reserves the right to charge and invoice you on a pro rata basis for any extension to the session’s or consultation’s otherwise allocated period of time where such extension is or has been agreed between you and The DNA Project, whether orally or in writing (which may be by email). 18.10.2 No refunds where session or consultation time shorter — Refer to clauses 5.6 and 5.6.1. 18.11 Time limits on rescheduling coaching or workshop — If you are unable to attend coaching or a workshop, you may, upon written notice to The DNA Project (which may be by email) or as permitted or required on, by or through the site and at The DNA Project’s absolute discretion, reschedule the coaching or workshop to commence within 12 weeks of the date the coaching or workshop would otherwise have taken place (noting that in leap years, 29 February shall be calculated from 28 February). 18.12 Engagement of coach — The DNA Project shall arrange to provide coaching to you during the coaching period at mutually agreed times and places. The DNA Project shall endeavour to make one coach available to you for the entire period. The DNA Project may, in its absolute discretion, arrange for a substitute duly qualified coach to replace another otherwise assigned coach for all or any of the sessions or consultations if that otherwise assigned coach is unavailable for all or part of the coaching period, and such substitute coach shall thereafter be deemed to be the otherwise assigned coach for the purposes of these terms and conditions or any agreement entered into between you and The DNA Project. 18.13 Training of coaches — The DNA Project warrants that the neuroscience-based coaches that it provides to you for specific goal coaching have completed coach training with Results Coaching Systems (provided through the NeuroLeadership Institute), are members of the International Coach Federation and are reasonably capable of performing the associated coaching activities.

The DNA Project acknowledges that there may be occasions where, despite your reasonable endeavours, you are unable to perform all actions or tasks or exercises or assignments or activities forming part of the coaching or workshop or to carry out any act, matter or thing in preparation for future sessions or consultations as determined by you, whether or not in conjunction with The DNA Project. The DNA Project reserves the right to terminate any agreement entered into between you and The DNA Project after consultation with you if you and The DNA Project agree that the coaching of you, or the workshop provided to you, by The DNA Project is no longer appropriate for you and the provisions relating to termination (clause 19 and its subclauses) shall apply. You acknowledge that you are responsible for your own progress during and after the coaching period or workshop period. 18.15 The DNA Project may recommend or suggest to you certain and various actions or tasks or exercises or assignments or activities to complete between sessions or consultations. There is no obligation to complete the actions or tasks or exercises or assignments or activities but by not doing so you acknowledge that it may slow or hamper any progress you may wish to make or the achievement of any of your goals or the attainment of the outcomes you desire. The DNA Project may request that you submit actions or tasks or exercises or assignments or activities or other relevant information to The DNA Project prior to the session or consultation in which they are to be discussed. There is no obligation to do so but by not doing so you acknowledge that it may slow or hamper any progress you may wish to make or the achievement of any of your goals or the attainment of the outcomes you desire. 18.16 Where materials have been provided to you by The DNA Project, you shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that you bring to or have available for or at any session or consultation the materials relevant to that session or consultation, which may or may not include actions or tasks or exercises or assignments or activities you have completed on an earlier occasion that may be relevant to any or all sessions or consultations. 18.17 Coaching and workshop methods — You acknowledge that any coaching or workshop provided to you by The DNA Project may be personally or emotionally challenging and that there may be occasions on which you will feel emotional challenges — including frustration, annoyance, disappointment or stress. You must make all efforts and schedule all sessions or consultations at such times to ensure your peak mental and emotional state and condition necessary for the conduct of the session or consultation and shall (if necessary) take all steps to cancel or reschedule any session or consultation if you are not well enough to continue.

If you and The DNA Project agree to mediation, and unless agreed otherwise in writing between you and The DNA Project, you and The DNA Project will agree on a suitable person to act as mediator or will ask the Arbitrators’ and Mediators’ Institute of New Zealand Incorporated to appoint a suitable mediator. The mediation will be in accordance with the Mediation Protocol of the Arbitrators’ and Mediators’ Institute of New Zealand Incorporated. 21.3 The mediation shall be terminated by: a. the signing of a settlement agreement by you and The DNA Project; or b. notice to you and The DNA Project by the mediator, after consultation with you and The DNA Project, to the effect that further efforts at mediation are no longer justified; or c. notice by you or The DNA Project to the mediator and one another to the effect that further efforts at mediation are no longer justified; or d. the expiry of 60 days from the mediator's appointment, unless you and The DNA Project and the mediator expressly consent to an extension of this period. 21.4 If you and The DNA Project do not agree to mediation, or if mediation proceeds but is terminated as provided in paragraphs b, c or d of clause 21.3, any dispute or difference arising out of or in connection with these terms and conditions or any agreement entered into between you and The DNA Project, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be referred for determination to a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction. |
