Each payment for the agreed to “payment plan” will be due from Client no later than three (3) days after request is made or bank/credit card is charged. If no payment has been made three (3) days after request or payment fails and is not corrected within three (3) days, TWD has the right to terminate all services.

Client must use all of their one on one sessions within three (3) months of their initial one on one session; otherwise remaining sessions will be forfeited.  In addition, sessions need to be officially rescheduled to another date (any date agreed upon with you and your coach) within (3) business days of the rescheduling request. If session has not been rescheduled to another date within (3) business days then that session is subject to forfeit.
