They are not intended to be a substitute for professional advice, including but not limited to medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice.

(b) No Attorney-Client Relationship or Legal Advice:

Although the Coach has a legal background and provides coaching related to legal careers, you explicitly acknowledge that the Coach is not acting as your solicitor, attorney, or legal counsel.

If you are experiencing psychological distress, trauma, or suspect you have a mental health problem, you are strongly advised to seek the services of a qualified medical or mental health professional. The Coach reserves the right to terminate the coaching relationship if it becomes apparent that the Client requires clinical therapy rather than career coaching.

Additional Terms & Conditions For 1:1 Coaching Programmes

(This Part applies specifically to any 1:1 Coaching Programme you purchase. It supplements the gordonchunglawcareercoach.com and Gordon Chung Law Career Coaching Terms & Conditions above)

1. The 1:1 Coaching Programme

The specific scope of your 1:1 Coaching Programme, including the number and duration of sessions, delivery format (e.g., video call), and included materials, will be set out in the service description, course outline and the applicable application form on our Site (“Service Description”). The Service Description is incorporated by reference into these Terms.

2. Programme Fees & Payment

(a) Total Fee: The total fee for your 1:1 Coaching Programme (“Programme Fee”) and the payment schedule will be stated in the Service Description.

(b) Payment Methods: You may pay by Stripe, credit card, or bank transfer. An electronic receipt will be issued upon payment.

(c) Instalment Plans: If an instalment plan is offered, you are required to pay all instalments on the due dates specified in the Service Description. You hereby authorise us to charge your payment method for each instalment on its due date. Your obligation to pay the full Programme Fee is not contingent on your continued participation in the Programme.

(d) Late or Failed Payment: If your payment method fails or you fail to pay any amount due by the specified date:

(i) We reserve the right to suspend all coaching sessions and access to materials immediately and without notice until the outstanding amount is paid in full.

(ii) We may charge interest on the overdue amount at the prevailing rate for judgment debts in Hong Kong SAR.

(iii) We reserve the right to pursue the outstanding debt through the arbitration process outlined in Clause 18 of the Terms & Conditions above.

3. Cancellation, Rescheduling & No-Shows

(a) By You (“Client”):

(i) To reschedule a session, you must provide at least 24 hours’ written notice (by email or text). Sessions rescheduled with sufficient notice will be rearranged at a mutually convenient time.

(ii) Sessions cancelled or rescheduled by you with less than 24 hours’ notice may be forfeited and deemed to have been delivered, subject to the discretion of the Coach.

(iii) A maximum of three (3) sessions per Programme may be rescheduled by you, even with sufficient notice. The number may be extended in special circumstances, subject to the discretion of the Coach.

(iv) If you fail to attend a scheduled session without any prior notice (“no-show”), the session will be forfeited and deemed delivered, subject to the discretion of the Coach.

(b) By the Coach: If we need to cancel a session, we will provide you with as much notice as possible and the session will be rescheduled at a mutually convenient time.

(c) Programme Timeframe: All 1:1 Coaching Programmes must be completed within a specified timeframe to ensure the effectiveness of the coaching process —

(i) A 8-week 1:1 Coaching Programme must be completed within a maximum of 16 weeks from the date of the first scheduled session.

(ii) A 4-week 1:1 Coaching Programme must be completed within a maximum of 10 weeks from the date of the first scheduled session.

(iii) For any other programmes, the completion timeframe will be strictly as stated in the Service Description.

Any sessions not scheduled and completed within these maximum timeframes will automatically expire and be forfeited without any right to a refund or credit. Extensions beyond these maximum timeframes will be granted in special circumstances and are entirely at the sole discretion of the Coach. Both the Client and the Coach should use their best efforts to adhere to this timeframe.

4. Refund Policy

General Policy: Due to the comprehensive and intangible nature of our 1:1 Coaching Programmes (e.g. immediate access to our video trainings upon your payment of Programme Fee, consulting, coaching, ongoing application reviews and chat support during the Programmes), our general policy is that all Programme Fees are non-refundable, subject to the discretion of the Coach.

5. Your Obligations as a Client

You agree to:

• Attend sessions on time and be prepared to engage fully.

• Engage in good faith with the coaching process.

• Not record any part of any session (audio or video) without our prior written consent.

• Acknowledge that the success of the coaching is dependent on your own effort, commitment, and implementation.

6. Confidentiality

(a) Our Obligation: We agree to keep all your Confidential Information strictly confidential and will not disclose it to any third party, except as required by law.

(b) Your Obligation: You agree to keep all our Confidential Information, particularly our proprietary coaching methods, frameworks, and materials, strictly confidential. You may not share, publish, or distribute this information in any form without our prior written consent.

7. Termination of Agreement

The coaching relationship may be terminated by either party prior to the completion of the 1:1 Coaching Programme under the following conditions:

(a) Termination by the Client:

You may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing written notice to the Coach via email. However, as stated in Clause 4 (Refund Policy), due to the upfront allocation of the Coach’s time and the immediate provision of proprietary resources upon enrolment, early termination by the Client does not entitle you to a refund of any Programme Fees already paid. If you are on an instalment plan, you remain legally obligated to pay the remaining balance of the total Programme Fee in full, regardless of your decision to terminate early or cease attending sessions.

(b) Termination by the Coach:

We reserve the right to terminate this Agreement and your participation in the 1:1 Coaching Programme immediately, without prior notice or refund, if you:

(i) Fail to pay any Programme Fees or instalments when due;

(ii) Breach any of your obligations under these Terms & Conditions, including but not limited to confidentiality or intellectual property provisions;

(iii) Display abusive, harassing, or consistently disruptive behaviour toward the Coach or our staff; or

(iv) Fail to engage in the coaching process in good faith, including repeated no-shows.

(c) Mutual Termination for Unforeseen Circumstances:

If unforeseen circumstances (such as severe illness or long-term emergency) prevent either party from continuing the Programme, both parties agree to negotiate in good faith to pause or mutually terminate the Agreement. In the rare event that the Coach must terminate the Agreement due to their own unforeseen inability to deliver the remaining services, a pro-rata refund will be issued for any unused sessions that have been paid for in advance.

(d) Effect of Termination:

Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, your right to schedule further 1:1 sessions, access ongoing chat support, and participate in the Programme shall immediately cease. Your obligations regarding confidentiality, intellectual property, and outstanding payments shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

8. Communication Boundaries & Out-of-Session Support

To ensure the highest quality of coaching and to maintain professional boundaries, the following communication rules apply to all 1:1 Coaching Programmes:

(a) Approved Communication Channels:

All communications outside of scheduled coaching sessions must be conducted via the designated channels specified in your Service Description (e.g., email or a designated chat platform like WhatsApp). Communication via the Coach's personal social media accounts, personal phone number (unless designated for chat support), or direct messaging platforms not specified in the Programme is prohibited.

(b) Working Hours and Response Times:

The Coach operates during the following business hours (Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 10:30 PM HKT), excluding Hong Kong public holidays. While you may send messages or emails at any time, the Coach reserves the right to only review and respond to communications during these working hours. Please allow up to 48 hours for a response to any non-urgent inquiry or document review request.

(c) Scope of Out-of-Session Support:

If your Programme includes "ongoing chat support" or "email support," this is limited to brief check-ins, general queries, logistical questions, sharing wins, or quick clarifications on action steps agreed upon during sessions.

(d) Deep Coaching Questions:

Out-of-session support is not a substitute for 1:1 sessions. The Coach reserves the right to defer any complex, multi-part, or "deep coaching" questions received via email or chat to your next scheduled coaching session, where they can be addressed with the appropriate depth and attention.

(e) Document Review:

If your Programme includes ongoing application or document reviews, you must submit these documents with sufficient lead time. The Coach will not be held responsible for missing application deadlines if documents are submitted for review with less than 48 hours' notice.
