Last Updated June 23, 2025.

We are thrilled to have you as part of our Business Bestie: Startup Suite Membership and can hardly wait to see the transformation that is about to take place!

It is important that we begin this relationship with a clear understanding of how we will work together in order to work towards achieving your goals.  Please review these Group Coaching Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) very carefully.  By participating in our BestieFinder Coaching Program, you are agreeing to and are expressing that you have been given reasonable access to review these terms prior to your participation. These Terms are binding as of the date you purchase or access our products and/or services.  Of course, we are happy to clarify anything or answer any questions you may have.

________________________________________________________

General Purpose. These Terms are between you (“Participant,” “Client,” “you,” “your”) and BestieFinder, LLC (“Coach,” “we,” “us,” “our”) for the purpose of participating in the Business Bestie: Startup Suite Group Coaching Program (the “Program”) whether through the Coach’s website at bestiefinder.net or any related domains or subdomains (the “Website”), video or audio conferencing platforms, telephone, or in person. The Coach and the Participant will collectively be referred to as “Parties,” and each individually as a “Party.” 

By clicking “Add to Cart,” “Buy Now,” or any other phrase on the purchase button, submitting a payment electronically or in-person, or subscribing through the Website, or otherwise enrolling in the Program, you are agreeing to adhere to and be bound by following terms and conditions, together with the Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference ( the "Terms"):

Scope of Services. The BestieFinder Business Bestie Coaching Program Membership will begin on the date indicated in the Welcome Email you will receive after the first payment is made.  The Program will consist of the following: 

• Personalized Coaching Program focused on Business Development, Growth, Promotion, and Strategic Planning;
• Welcome Email with Coaching Program overview, session schedule, reading materials, self-assessment, and any other documents and instructions prepared by the Coach to support you throughout this Program;
• Access to private BestieFinder Business Bestie Community Group;
• Access to private Marketing Lab Workgroup
• Six 90-minute group coaching sessions (see schedule in Welcome Email)*

Payment + Billing. The cost of our Program is $97 per month.  By providing the Coach with your preferred payment method, you represent that you: (i) are authorized to use, and (ii) authorize the Coach to charge that payment method (the “Authorized Payment Method”) for any fees related to your purchase of the Program, including without limitation fees relating to any paid feature of the Website and/or subscription service of the Coach in which you have chosen to enroll (collectively, the “Fees”). If you are taking advantage of any limited time trial-period offer and you do not cancel the service on or before the last day of the trial period, you are authorizing us to charge your payment method for the service. Unless otherwise indicated, all Fees are in USD. 

Participant’s Responsibilities. In order to get the most out of the Program, you understand and agree that:

1. Because Group Coaching Sessions require the participation of more than one client, sessions will begin on time, every time.  You should plan to join the Coaching Session at least five (5) minutes prior to the scheduled start time through the video conference link provided by us.
2. Because Group Coaching Sessions involve other participants, they cannot be rescheduled.  If you are late for or miss a Coaching Session, we are unable to make up for the time missed.
3. We may assign homework for you to complete prior to a Coaching Session.  Completing your homework in advance will greatly enhance your experience and participation during the Session.

Coach’s Responsibilities. We are fully committed to supporting you on your journey through our BestieFinder Program.  We promise to conduct ourselves professionally and maintain the ethics and standards prescribed by the Board Certified Coach Code of Ethics, which can be accessed here.  

Office Hours + Coaching Communication. We are generally available from Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.  All communication for Coaching will be done through Network Direct Messages, Private Group Postings, Email, or SMS/Text Messages. Because we cannot monitor other channels of communication, such as social media direct messages, for our coaching clients, we will use the above methods of communication exclusively for all coaching clients.

Communication Between Sessions. If you need additional support outside of Coaching Sessions, we are happy to connect.  Separate 1-on-1 calls can be scheduled at a special discounted rate of $77 per hour for Program participants.

License for Use. By purchasing the Program through our Website, you are agreeing to the Group Coaching Terms and Conditions and, in return, we are providing you with a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable, personal-use license (“License”) for you to participate in the Program by yourself only. Sharing, copying, reproducing, modifying, publishing, selling, or otherwise distributing Program Materials (the “Materials”), whether publicly or privately, is expressly prohibited. You may, however, copy or print instructional materials, information, and guides within the Materials for personal use, provided that all original formatting, copyright and trademark notices, and branding remains intact. Your limited license allows you to access the Program and use any associated materials for yourself only. If you have multiple team members who would need access to the Program, you must purchase an additional License for each member of your team and ensure they are aware of these Terms.} 

Intellectual Property. We own and retain all rights, titles, and interests in and to the Program and Program Materials. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property ownership beyond the limited license described in the above section, and we reserve all rights not expressly granted to you. Permission to alter or modify the Materials in a way that is consistent with these Terms does not grant you intellectual property ownership or the right to modify the Materials beyond these conditions, and in no way expands the limited license provided upon purchase.

Independent Contractor Status. Our working relationship with you is one of an independent contractor and is not to be misconstrued as formal employment or a business partnership in any venture.  As your Coach, we fully understand that we:

• Are solely responsible for paying all necessary taxes and handling withholdings where applicable according to the tax information you may provide to us.
• Providing workers’ compensation, unemployment, and other employee benefits, where applicable.

• Are not entitled to any of the benefits of an employee.
• Do not have and may not present ourselves as having the authority to enter into contracts on behalf of the Client.
• May not make any agreements or representations on your behalf.
• Must comply with all applicable laws and regulations in delivering the Program.

Other Business Activities. You understand and agree that this is not an exclusive relationship, and that we have the right to provide coaching to other clients during the Term of these Terms as long as it does not hinder us from delivering the Program to you and does not introduce any conflict of interest.

Coach’s Warranties. By signing these Terms, we are communicating that we have the right to enter into these Terms and are not violating any other contractual agreements in doing so.

Confidentiality. In order to get the maximum benefit from participating in the Program, each participant will want to share some information about their business offerings, business strategies, or other information that is not available to the public, confidential, or proprietary in nature (collectively, the "Confidential Information"). Both the Coach and the Participant agree to: 

1. Protect and safeguard the Confidential Information disclosed or otherwise made known to us; 
2. Use the Confidential Information only in connection with the Program;
3. Refrain from using the Confidential Information in any way that would be detrimental to any participants; and 
4. Only disclose the Confidential Information to our employees or other designees on a need-to-know basis. 

Both Parties understand and agree that the obligations under this provision survive termination of these Terms by either party.

Consent to Use. By submitting reviews, images, comments, testimonials, or tags (“Submissions”) to us on any platform including, but not limited to social media and online reviews, you are by default granting us a commercial license and voluntarily releasing us to use your Submissions for any reasonable future business use. In doing so, we may use your name {and/or photo} along with any other publicly acknowledged information that has been revealed by you when referring to your Submissions on our Website, marketing materials, guides, and any other platform not expressed in these Terms. 

Non-Compete. For a period of 2 years after you purchase the Program from this Website or otherwise agree to these Terms, you understand and agree that you may not provide any services, engage in any aspect of business, and/or represent yourself and/or your business as a Self-Aware, GRACE-ful, Business Bestie, or Business Builder Coach in a way that would be considered similar in nature to us or our offerings. This includes offering programs that are seen as similar to the Program you purchased from the Coach throughout the United States of America and its territories/other territory or region without the prior written consent of the Coach.

Disclaimer. Group Coaching is a professional relationship in which we work with a number of clients in a group setting, facilitating discussions around goal setting, identifying possible areas of improvement, sharing experiences, and providing a forum for gaining clarity in working toward improvement in those areas.

Group Coaching is distinct from consulting in that the purpose of coaching is to facilitate the Client’s creative and strategic process, while the purpose of consulting is to provide specific advice, strategy, or assistance.  While the Program may address or uncover certain roadblocks that are impeding the Participant’s progress toward achieving your goals, under no circumstances will the Coach provide therapy nor give psychological, medical, financial, legal, or other advice that may require specialized training and/or licensure.  As such, we will not be responsible for any damages that result from your participation in the Program.

No Warranties + No Guarantees. We are offering this Program on an “As-Is” basis for individual use by you at your own risk and without any warranties, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to warranties of title; merchantability; fitness for a particular use; or any rights or licenses in these Terms.  The Coach makes no warranty as to the accuracy and reliability of information set forth in the Program, the Website, and Program-related materials.  You understand and agree that participating in this Program does not guarantee specific results, including financial or other business gains for you personally and/or for the business. Program materials are provided for informational purposes only and you are responsible for implementing any business practices or suggested actions based on the Program.

Return Policy. Due to the highly customized nature of Group Coaching, we do not allow for returns or refunds under any circumstances. In addition, no modifications to your purchase will be granted once your purchase is made. Thank you for understanding.

Subscriptions + Subscription Cancellations. When you purchase access to the Program on an ongoing subscription basis (for example: weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually), you are authorizing the Coach to process incurred and recurring Fees until the subscription is terminated and all outstanding fees have been paid in full. You must keep a valid Authorized Payment Method on file with the Coach.  Recurring payments are billed in advance at 30-day intervals (each, a “Billing Date”), then in 30-day cycles of the months that follow.  If we are unable to successfully process a payment of the Fees using your Authorized Payment Method, we will make a second attempt to process payment 2 days later, then we will make a final attempt 5 days following the second attempt if it is unsuccessful. If the final attempt is unsuccessful, we reserve the right to suspend or revoke your subscription until all current and outstanding Fees are paid. If outstanding Fees remain unpaid for 60 days following the suspension date, the Coach reserves the right to refer your account to collections. The Participant has 15 days to notify the Coach of any issues with recurring payments.

You are required to complete all payments for the subscription period you committed to at purchase. At the end of the subscription period, the subscription service will auto-renew on a monthly basis and may be canceled at any time in writing. If any payment is returned unpaid or the payment method is rejected during the subscription period, the Coach or its service providers reserve the right to collect any applicable fees as permitted by law. If you fail to make any payment on time and fail to correct such missed payment within 45 days, or if you fail to make any 3 payments on time, the Coach is permitted to cancel your participation in the program by providing written notice at the email address provided by you. Upon cancellation, you agree and promise to pay  the Coach a cancellation fee as damages equal to (i) the amount of any missed payments, plus (ii) 50% of the remaining amounts due under these Terms. The cancellation fee is due immediately, and the Coach is authorized to use any credit card or bank account on file to collect such fee. The Coach will have no further obligations to perform under these Terms following cancellation.

Chargebacks. By attempting a chargeback with your financial institution, you are expressly agreeing to pay the full cost of your original purchase, plus any fees or associated costs incurred by the Coach. We have the right to present these Terms to your financial institution, any payment processing product and/or investigating agency concerning the attempted chargeback or financial dispute.  

Promotions + Discounts. We may occasionally market and/or advertise promotions, discounts, limited time offers, and/or bonuses (“Promotions”) to potential customers. You are entitled to take advantage of any active Promotions when you purchase our Program. Promotions are offered manually and/or through automated campaigns at any given time and are not guaranteed to be available when you make a purchase through the Website.
