WHAT IS ADVISORY SERVICE?
Advisory service is a structure that facilitates the process of personal, professional and/or spiritual development through information made available to you for self-guided study and/or facilitator-guided study. Advisory service is not psychological or psychiatric advice, therapy or counselling and it does not treat mental disorders. Advisory service may involve all areas of your life, including business, work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation. Advisory service is for individuals who are emotionally and psychologically healthy and who want to make changes and move forward in their lives.
COMPANY’S SERVICES
The responsibility of Tree of Life Quest is to render advisory services (the “Program”) to you. Tree of Life Quest reserves the right to substitute advisory services equal to or comparable to the selected Program for you if the need arises.
OUR WORKING RELATIONSHIP DURING FACILITATOR-GUIDED SERVICES
For facilitator-guided services (Coaching, Mentoring, Courses, etc.) you and Tree of Life Quest commit to working with each other by engaging in very direct and personal conversations for the period set in the Program description. The Program will be delivered to you online or in person as set in the specific terms for each Program. Communications between you and Tree of Life Quest will be tailored to your advisory service needs.
If you have any past or present psychological or psychiatric treatment please do notify us immediately. Also, if at any point through our guided advisory service relationship, we identify the need for mental health treatment you agree to get the necessary treatment.
DISCLAIMER OF GUARANTEE
In the Facilitator Guided Advisory Service relationship, Tree of Life Quest plays the role of a facilitator of change, but it is your full responsibility to enact or bring about the change. You understand that the power of the Facilitator Guided Advisory Service relationship which can only be granted by you is effective when you do your best to reach YOUR desired outcome. If you see that the Facilitator Guided Advisory Service is not working as desired, you agree to communicate with us and take the necessary actions to return the power to the advisory service relationship.
RULES
You agree to abide by all the rules of Tree of Life Quest including but not limited to your understanding to behave professionally, courteously, and respectfully with all staff and other clients of Tree of Life Quest. The failure to abide by Program rules shall be cause for termination of this Agreement and you will not be entitled to recoup any amounts paid and shall remain responsible for all outstanding amounts of the fee.
PRIVACY
You can, at any point in our sessions, declare your preference not to discuss a specific issue, by simply stating that you would rather not discuss this issue. Tree of Life Quest agrees to respect this boundary and will not attempt to discuss the point any further.
SOLUTION COMPONENTS
The package components for your solution will be shared with you in the Terms and Conditions of each specific Program.
Note it is your responsibility to prioritize your solution components and sessions as they are scheduled for you in program-specific Terms and Conditions. Tree of Life Quest understands that unforeseen circumstances can arise hence the allowance for moving of sessions with a minimum of 24 hours’ notice where applicable. However, all sessions must be used within one year of this agreement being signed. You agree to forfeit any sessions not utilized within one year. If Tree of Life Quest needs to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances at our end, we will also give a minimum of 24 hours’ notice and the call will be rescheduled so you do not lose it.
THE FEE
The fee investment for your particular solution and any payment plan options and dates will be shared with you in writing. Note that our programs come with a “no refund policy” because we want you to know that every client who enrols is just as dedicated as you to improving their lives and work. Tree of Life Quest does not want to work with “on-the-fencers” because we believe how you do one thing is how you do everything, and these programs are only for clients who are willing and READY for transformation. If that’s you, then you are in a strong position to earn your investment back multiple times over. Payments must be made before the sessions are due to start.
WHEN PAYMENT MUST BE MADE
Payments must be made at least 2 working days before the sessions are due to start. If a payment plan option is selected, each payment instalment must be made before the start of that month’s sessions and solution components.
It is also important to note that once you accept the terms in this agreement, you are committing to partake in all the sessions and components that make up your solution. They are specifically tailored to you, and you are therefore liable for the full investment amount stated whether you have chosen to pay for the full payment option or the instalment option. Therefore, even if you have selected the instalment option you agree and are liable to pay for the full number of sessions and components in your chosen package according to the payment option selected and at the set times whether you decided to stop using our services or not.
Please provide your payment Card(s) information for payment on your account. Tree of Life Quest shall charge your Card(s) for any unpaid charges on the dates agreed. If payment is not made, a 5% late penalty charge will be made to all balances that are not paid in on time on the registered card number and you will still be charged for that session, however, that particular program session will not take place.
LATENESS FOR THE PROGRAM SESSION
You and Tree of Life Quest commit to starting and finishing each session on time. In the event you are going to be late for the program session, please inform your facilitator as soon as possible by email at contact@treeoflife.quest
If for any unfortunate reason, you are more than 15 minutes late we will have no other option but to assume the session is cancelled and unfortunately, you will forfeit the session fee. As a result, you will have lost one session from the total number of sessions and that program session cannot be replaced. An option will be available to you to make additional payments at £500 per session for any extra sessions missed at the end of the initial sessions in your solution.
CANCELLATIONS
We look forward to every session with you and we hope that you will have no cause to cancel. In the event you need to cancel the program session, please do so in the scheduling system that you will be provided to schedule your sessions at least 24 hours before that particular session. If for any reason you cannot access that system and cancel the session there then please ensure that you email Tree of Life Quest at contact@treeoflife.quest with your request to cancel and that you wish to book another session and your fee for that session will be preserved. Please see the supplementary terms and conditions for clarification of what constitutes “confirmation of cancellation of a session”.
It is important to note that your program sessions must all be completed within 12 months of the start date of this agreement. Any sessions which have not been completed by the end of this period will be forfeited.
MATERIAL FOR THE PROGRAM SESSIONS
All material is under the full ownership of Tree of Life Quest. We will make available all the material you need for the program session and will record the sessions and can provide a recording of that session to you if you wish. We record the sessions so that we can make references to what was stated during our sessions to make further progress in the program session.

Supplementary Terms And Conditions For Coaching Services With Explanatory Notes
WHAT IS COACHING?
Coaching may address specific personal projects, business successes, or general conditions in your life or profession. Other coaching services include value clarification, brainstorming, identifying plans of action, examining modes of operating in life, asking clarifying questions, and making empowering requests or suggestions for action.
Feelings are a normal and healthy part of being human and through a coaching relationship, awareness and curiosity will be brought to your feelings so that you can take the full responsibility to make more informed choices and move into your desired action.
The opportunity for success through the coaching services client dramatically increases because changing habits and creating possibilities is a process. You agree with Tree of Life Quest that the coaching service relationship will be designed together. You acknowledge that it is exclusively your responsibility to decide how to handle the issues that surface during the coaching service relationship and how you implement your choices.
Coaching service is not a substitute for counselling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care or substance abuse treatment, and you will not use it in place of any form of therapy. You understand that coaching service does not deal with the psychological antecedent to emotions, which is the realm of therapy.
COMPANY’S SERVICES
The terms of the contract shall be binding on you for any further goods/services supplied to you by Tree of Life Quest. The parties agree that the Program is in the nature of a coaching service and in some cases it will have an educational aspect. The scope of services rendered by Tree of Life Quest in relation to this contract shall be solely limited to those services specified in the contract agreement and provided for on the website of Tree of Life Quest at https://treeoflife.quest. Tree of Life Quest reserves the right to substitute services equal to or comparable to the Program for you if the need arises.
OUR WORKING RELATIONSHIP
By entering this relationship, you and Tree of Life Quest acknowledge that your desire is to make significant progress and change in your life. This will happen at a rate that is unique to you. Our coaching service packages, allow the coaching service relationship the necessary time to develop and progress through objectives, obstacles and successes that occur. We assure you that we will speak in a language you understand and be honest and straightforward, ask clarifying questions and make empowering requests.

You also agree to disclose details of the past or present psychological or psychiatric treatment. In entering into the coaching service relationship, and signing the agreement, you are agreeing that if any mental health difficulties arise during the advisory service relationship, you will notify us immediately so that we can discuss with you an appropriate referral.
DISCLAIMER OF GUARANTEE
The purpose of our conversation is to keep your focus on YOUR desired outcome and to coach you to stay clear, focused and in action. You understand that a successful coaching service requires a cooperative approach between you and Tree of Life Quest. You accept and agree that you are 100% responsible for your progress and results from the Program.
You accept and agree that you are the one vital element to the Program’s success and that Tree of Life Quest cannot control you.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAKING THE CALL
The virtual sessions will be conducted by Zoom or Google Meet where you and Tree of Life Quest will both dial into the line or connect via the internet.

COMMUNICATIONS
This section defines how and when communications take place between you and Tree of Life Quest. Communications between you and Tree of Life Quest will be tailored to your coaching service needs.
(Discussed in the section “our working relationship” in the Agreement document)
LATENESS FOR THE PROGRAM SESSIONS
We appreciate that there may be occasions when you may be late for the program session.
We will always aim to be on time for each program session and we expect you to do the same. Also, it is important to note that there is much work to get done during each program session and each minute is valuable.
We usually book a 45-minute time slot for each single session and 1.5 hours for a double session, after the initial discovery session. Thus if you are late unfortunately we are unable to offer the full 45/90 minute coaching service time. For example, if Mr Joe Bloggs is 15 minutes late for the single session which begins at 1 p.m. and ends at 1:45 p.m., only the remainder of the 45-minute session which ends at 1:45 p.m. will be available to Mr Joe Bloggs.
CANCELLATIONS
Please note that any payment made for the sessions will be non-refundable as that specific time was reserved for you only. It is also important to remember that once you confirm in writing that you wish to cancel that particular session we may not be available for that particular time slot for coaching service. If you confirm your cancellation within 24 hours of the next session, you will be able to arrange a different time slot without losing the money you have paid for that session.
In terms of the words that constitute a cancellation of the program session, words to the effect of “I wish to cancel the following program session on ………… (name a particular date)” will be accepted.
Please note that words to the effect of “I may wish to cancel, I am thinking of cancelling, I may have to cancel in due course” or similar phrases which create an ambiguity as to whether you are requesting an actual cancellation will not be deemed as a cancellation of that particular program session. If due to any ambiguity the session is cancelled in any event you will have forfeited your money and lost that session without a chance to swap it for another session. Therefore, we encourage you to be very clear in your wording.
MATERIAL FOR THE PROGRAM SESSIONS
You agree to recordings being made of Program sessions. Tree of Life Quest reserves the right to use, at its sole discretion, course materials, videos and audio recordings of courses, and materials submitted by you or to you in the context of the course(s) and the Program for future lectures, teaching, and marketing materials, and further other goods/services provided by Tree of Life Quest, without compensation to you.

All documents, material and any other information we provide to you is for your sole use and not for the use or reference of any other person. You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade, resell, give with or without financial gain, or exploit for any commercial purposes, any portion of the Program (including course materials), use of the Program, or access to the Program.

If necessary as a last resort, when all United Kingdom Court processes have been exhausted, the matter will be heard under the relevant European legislation. The winning party is entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable legal fees from the losing party to enforce the provisions of the Agreement.
INDEMNIFICATION
Tree of Life Quest is liable for any such expenses and liabilities which may result from a breach of the Agreement or sole negligence or willful misconduct by Tree of Life Quest, or any of its future shareholders, trustees, affiliates or successors.
