Terms of Use
Prior to scheduling any appointment, it is imperative to thoroughly review and consent to our terms and conditions. The agreement (“Agreement”) delineates the mutual understanding between you (“Client”) and our organization, Center for Peace (“cenfp.org”), commencing from the date of acceptance of these terms.
CenFP is honored to work with you. CenFP coaches come to sessions on time and free from distractions and respectfully request that you do the same.
PAYMENT
If during the pre-enrollment session you are determined to be a good fit for the program, the year-long program fee must be paid for in advance through a CenFP link at our rate. This rate may be adjusted from time to time. Payment must be made in full via a cashier’s check. Payment holds your seat for an entire year.
All other CenFP service payments, beyond the services outlined in the year-long program, require a credit card to be charged using our third party software. CenFP is not responsible for any unauthorized access or security breaches the third-party processor may experience.
REFUNDS
All CenFP payments are non-refundable, including payments for the pre-enrollment assessment sessions, and group and individual sessions.
REPRESENTATIONS OF CLIENT
CenFP sessions are not a substitute for licensed mental health care. As a client, you understand that in order to receive a diagnosis or treatment plan, you need to visit a mental health professional licensed in your state or country.
During the year-long program, you agree to not seek any diagnosis from CenFP. You also agree not to see other mental health professionals during the program.
You understand and agree that CenFP is not providing health services and you are fully responsible for your physical and emotional well-being during a CenFP session and choices made during and thereafter.

LEGAL REPRESENTATION
I understand that CenFP coaches will not provide testimony or verification of program participation for legal, medical or any other purposes unless compelled by a judge’s order. If a facilitator is required to testify, they are ethically bound not to give opinions. Coaches will not make recommendations about the decisions before the court. Furthermore, if a facilitator is required to appear as a witness or to otherwise perform work related to any legal matter, the party responsible for the facilitators participation agrees to reimburse the facilitator at the rate of $400 per hour for time spent traveling, speaking/corresponding with attorneys, reviewing and preparing documents, testifying, being in attendance, and any other case-related costs.
COACHING TERMS OF USE

You will immediately notify CenFP of any suggestion by a CenFP Coach that you hire that coach outside of CenFP. You agree that any referral made by CenFP for other professional services is in no way intended to be an endorsement of that service provider by CenFP. You agree and acknowledge the importance of personally evaluating the qualifications of all service providers and agree it is your individual decision to make regarding which service provider(s) to use. This paragraph will survive any conclusion or termination of this Agreement.
