Secret Habit Life Coaching Terms & Conditions
Secret Habit Life Coaching Terms & Conditions and Disclaimer
1 on 1 Coaching:
-
The full recovery program we offer is 16 lessons. This typically takes for 4-7 months to get through depending on the consistency of meetings and your specific need. It is ideal that the client will stay involved and committed for the entire duration to get the most out of their recovery (however, this is not mandatory) However, when signing this, you are agreeing to a 2-month commitment to 1 on 1 coaching. This is to ensure there can be some quality steps taken regardless if you finish the full 16-session program.
-
You’re responsible for booking your weekly sessions. It is expected that you will meet weekly. Your appointment will be surrendered if you miss your weekly meeting unless something such as vacation or sickness gets in the way. I understand life happens, so please communicate if so, but the commitment is for you to meet weekly for the duration of the coaching period. (If a reason other than sickness, emergency or urgent manner is given for missing a week, you will lose out on the allocated session for the missed week)

Non-Disclosure Agreement: You agree to not give away, sell, post, or otherwise distribute the curriculum, tools, and techniques you learn through the Secret Habit Recovery Accelerator or any Secret Habit programs or resources. Doing so amounts to infringement of copyrighted material which is a violation of the law. By agreeing to these terms and conditions, you agree to protect the training you receive through Secret Habit as intellectual property belonging to Secret Habit Life Coaching and Shawn Bonneteau.
The client agrees to release Secret Habit and any coaches working with Secret Habit from liability related to any advice or guidance given, directly or indirectly, including the use of books, courses, and other resources. You are also agreeing to release him/her/them from liability for outcomes including separation, divorce, suicide, financial loss, or any criminal activity that might have occurred before, during, or after you sought out coaching services.
Shawn and Helena Bonneteau are Professional Coaches and have been certified as Professional Mentors with Bravehearts University. They are not registered counselors or therapists and are unable to give clinical or medical advice. The services and programs offered by Secret Habit do not fall within the scope of the NSCCT and are offered as independent coaching services.
When choosing to work with Secret Habit, you are choosing to work with a coach who has a certification in mentoring. With this, you are choosing to work with an unlicensed professional. Because of this, our services cannot be claimed through any medical plan.
Secret Habit has the right to refuse services for unpaid invoices or a history of unpaid invoices. If a client misses a session, either by no show, or a non-emergency circumstance, the session will be lost and the money paid will be forfeited. We do not offer refunds but will offer reschedules in the case of an emergency. If a client is receiving sponsorship from our pay it forward program, there is no guarantee that this will be available every month, and there is no guarantee that it will be the same amount every month.
Secret Habit has the right to end a session with a client without a refund for reasons such as poor wifi, noisy background, non-private room, or lack of focus or intention.
Secret Habit offers coaching to men and women struggling with the effects of pornography. Shawn and Helena Bonneteau bring a Christian worldview to their coaching services and this will influence the way they coach. The coaching services are by no means a place for faith-based pressure, however, if a client cannot respect the fact that Shawn and Helena bring their faith into their coaching, then working with Secret Habit is not going to be the best fit. This is often discussed prior to the first session. Our coaches have the right to refuse services to those who are not a fit to work with Secret Habit for various possible reasons.
Secret Habit has a duty to warn and duty to report when a client discloses something that a) Has been done illegally, b) Is illegal and has a planned execution c) Would harm them d) Would harm another person. Shawn and Helena Bonneteau are not liable for things that happen after the duty to want or duty to report take place. They are simply responsible for ensuring the information is given to the correct authority. You may choose not to share something that would trigger such a duty on our end. We are not responsible for the consequences that may arise from a Secret Habit Coach acting on a duty to warn or a duty to report if we are given the information of illegal activity taking place.
Secret Habit keeps all files, notes, and communication confidential to the best of their ability. We are unable to protect with a 100% guarantee and if anything was to be leaked or hacked, we would communicate this with our client.
Secret Habit primarily uses Zoom for video calls, Stripe for payment, and email/coaching system for communication.
Secret Habit clients are responsible for purchasing extra materials if necessary such as a book for curriculum work.
