COMMUNITY MEMBERSHIP TERMS & CONDITIONS
I am engaging Tipping Point™ Recovery, Inc. with this 12-month membership experience (the "Program") that’s designed for family members who are seeking a path to recovery from family addiction with community, education and support that will allow myself and my loved one the best chance for success. Tipping Point™ Recovery, Inc. will provide high-level, small and whole group coaching to me and other family members over a 12-month period.
I understand that by enrolling in the Program, I'm making a commitment to myself and to the future of my family. I am willing to take risks, to play “full-out,” to lean in to my discomfort with change and to ask for what I need so that I can create the family recovery foundation I desire.
1. NOT THERAPY
I understand that what Tipping Point™ Recovery, Inc. is offering me is a coaching program and that coaching is not, nor does it replace therapy, counseling, or psychoanalysts.
2. COMMUNICATION
I agree to communicate responsibly and hold confidential communications that I have with individuals in the Program. I agree to take full responsibility for my results in the Program. If I have feedback about the Program, I agree to email support@tippingpointrecovery.com directly because I understand they’re fully invested in my success.
3. COMMITMENT TO YOU
I understand that in addition to the group coaching and education, I will receive access to the library of Intensive Training and Integration Group Calls along with the availability of private 1:1 coaching sessions if I choose to purchase additional support. An initial schedule with dates will be provided in the first month of the Program, and is subject to change. Also, I understand that Tipping Point™ Recovery, Inc. office is always closed the third week of December through the first week of January and that no regular training or coaching calls will be scheduled during those weeks. I understand that I am encouraged to meet with my fellow members during that time, and I understand that Tipping Point™ Recovery, Inc. suggests that I schedule myself regular time off as well.
4. COACHING/CANCELLATIONS
I understand Tipping Point™ Recovery, Inc. provides Private Coaching sessions with trained coaches and Interventionists as well as custom Family Systems Interventions. I understand these sessions and services are at an additional cost and are booked on a first come, first serve basis and 24 hours of notice is required if I need to cancel or reschedule. If I cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, it will be considered as if the appointment was used.
5. GROUP PROGRAM COMPONENTS YOU WILL RECEIVE
Program is delivered over the course of 12 months. See page describing program components.
6. RETREATS
I understand Kate and her team are committed to providing exceptional value at all retreats if and when they occur. I understand participants are required to stay on site at live events in order to receive the most transformation and community connection from the experience unless there are extenuating circumstances communicated to support@tippingpointrecovery.com at least 60 days prior to the event date. I understand I am responsible for the cost of lodging and food at the retreats. I understand that I may be required to execute additional waivers in order to participate in live events.
7. COST
The cost of the 12-Month Community Membership is broken up into 12 monthly payments. If I pay in monthly installments, I hereby agree to sign the Credit Card and Payment Plan Addendums to remit the monthly payments via pre-authorized automatic electronic debit from my bank account or credit card and continuing until payment is made in full. Payments are not refundable for any reason. I understand this is not a month-to-month membership Program and I agree to be responsible for the payment in full.
8. RESPONSIBILITY & RELEASE OF LIABILITY
I take full personal responsibility for my choices and behaviors during, and as a result of working with Tipping Point™ Recovery, Inc. On behalf of myself and my heirs, family members, executors, agents, and assigns, I forever release Tipping Point™ Recovery, Inc. and all current and former officers, directors, employees, agents, investors, attorneys, shareholders , administrators, affiliates, and insurers, as well as predecessor and successor corporations and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”) from, and agree not to sue Tipping Point™ Recovery, Inc. and all involved concerning, or in any manner to institute, prosecute, or pursue, any claim, complaint, charge, duty, obligation, demand, or cause of action relating to any matters of any kind, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that I may possess against any of the Releasees arising from any omissions, acts, facts, or damages that may occur as a result of my participation in or otherwise under this Agreement, and in particular without limitation from any physical, or psychological impact that results from my participation in this coaching Program, as well as any claim for failure of Tipping Point™ Recovery, Inc. to produce the results I seek.
