This document sets out the agreement for accessing Business Strategy Services from Helen Soutar Limited.

Description
Business Strategy Services as provided by Helen Soutar Limited are a partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business partnership) between the Strategist and the Client. Together the Strategist and the Client will work through a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to maximise personal and professional potential.
Responsibilities
1. The Client is responsible for creating and implementing his/her own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results. As such, the Client agrees that the Strategist is not and will not be liable for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services provided by the Strategist. The Client understands Strategy Services are not therapy and do not substitute for therapy if needed, and does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease.
2. The Client understands that strategy is not to be used as a substitute for professional advice by legal, mental, medical or other qualified professionals and will seek independent professional guidance for such matters. If the Client is currently under the care of a mental health professional, the Strategist will recommend that the Client inform the mental health care provider and the client may need to have a referral letter from their health care provider.
3. The Client agrees to communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance and create the time and energy to participate fully in the program.
