hellolife cannot in any way endorse or confirm that coaches identified as a result of the coach search request process are able to fulfil the expected requirements, and it will be the sole responsibility of the client to engage with the coaches to establish whether they can meet the requirements prior to the client entering into a customer contract. If a client engages a coach to provide coaching services, both sides will enter a customer contract between them. For the avoidance of doubt, the coaching services are provided by the coach, not by hellolife.

hellolife does not guarantee that a participating coach will be successfully hired as result of responding to the coach search request. hellolife’s role is to create the opportunity to get in touch with a prospective client. If the coach is not securing a job, the coach will not be entitled to any credit refund. Please see Section 11 below for further information regarding our policy on credit refunds.
