6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

6.1 Overview. This Contract imposes special restrictions on how the Client and the Coach must handle confidential information. These obligations are explained in this section.

6.2 The Client's Confidential Information. While working for the Client, the Coach may come across, or be given, Client information that is confidential. This is information like customer lists, business strategies, research & development notes, statistics about a website, and other information that is private. The Coach promises to treat this information as if it is the Coach's own confidential information. The Coach may use this information to do its job under this Contract, but not for anything else. For example, if the Client lets the Coach use a customer list to send out a newsletter, the Coach cannot use those email addresses for any other purpose. The one exception to this is if the Client gives the Coach written permission to use the information for another purpose, the Coach may use the information for that purpose, as well. When this Contract ends, the Coach must give back or destroy all confidential information, and confirm that it has done so. The Coach promises that it will not share confidential information with a third party, unless the Client gives the Coach written permission first. The Coach must continue to follow these obligations, even after the Contract ends. The Coach's responsibilities only stop if the Coach can show any of the following: (i) that the information was already public when the Coach came across it; (ii) the information became public after the Coach came across it, but not because of anything the Coach did or didn't do; (iii) the Coach already knew the information when the Coach came across it and the Coach didn't have any obligation to keep it secret; (iv) a third party provided the Coach with the information without requiring that the Coach keep it a secret; or (v) the Coach created the information on its own, without using anything belonging to the Client.

6.3 Third-Party Confidential Information. It's possible the Client and the Coach each have access to confidential information that belongs to third parties. The Client and the Coach each promise that it will not share with the other party confidential information that belongs to third parties, unless it is allowed to do so. If the Client or the Coach is allowed to share confidential information with the other party and does so, the sharing party promises to tell the other party in writing of any special restrictions regarding that information.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

Neither party is liable for breach-of-contract damages that the breaching party could not reasonably have foreseen when it entered this Contract.

8. INDEMNITY.

8.1 Overview. This section transfers certain risks between the parties if a third party sues or goes after the Client or the Coach or both. For example, if the Client gets sued for something that the Coach did, then the Coach may promise to come to the Client's defense or to reimburse the Client for any losses.

8.2 Client Indemnity. In this Contract, the Coach agrees to indemnify the Client (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of: (i) the work the Coach has done under this Contract; (ii) a breach by the Coach of its obligations under this Contract; or (iii) a breach by the Coach of the promises it is making in Section 3 (Representations).

8.3 Coach Indemnity. In this Contract, the Client agrees to indemnify the Coach (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of a breach by the Client of its obligations under this Contract.

9. GENERAL.

9.1 Assignment​. This Contract applies only to the Client and the Coach. Neither the Client nor the Coach can assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Contract to a third-party (other than by will or intestate), without first receiving the other's written permission.

9.2 Arbitration. As the exclusive means of initiating adversarial proceedings to resolve any dispute arising under this Contract, a party may demand that the dispute be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules.

9.3 Modification; Waiver. To change anything in this Contract, the Client and the Coach must agree to that change in writing and sign a document showing their contract. Neither party can waive its rights under this Contract or release the other party from its obligations under this Contract, unless the waiving party acknowledges it is doing so in writing and signs a document that says so.

9.4. Noticies.

(a) Over the course of this Contract, one party may need to send a notice to the other party. For the notice to be valid, it must be in writing and delivered in one of the following ways: personal delivery, email, or certified or registered mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested). The notice must be delivered to the party's address listed at the end of this Contract or to another address that the party has provided in writing as an appropriate address to receive notice.

(b) The timing of when a notice is received can be very important. To avoid confusion, a valid notice is considered received as follows: (i) if delivered personally, it is considered received immediately; (ii) if delivered by email, it is considered received upon acknowledgement of receipt; (iii) if delivered by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), it is considered received upon receipt as indicated by the date on the signed receipt. If a party refuses to accept notice or if notice cannot be delivered because of a change in address for which no notice was given, then it is considered received when the notice is rejected or unable to be delivered. If the notice is received after 5:00pm on a business day at the location specified in the address for that party, or on a day that is not a business day, then the notice is considered received at 9:00am on the next business day.

9.5 Severability. This section deals with what happens if a portion of the Contract is found to be unenforceable. If that's the case, the unenforceable portion will be changed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless that change is not permitted by law, in which case the portion will be disregarded. If any portion of the Contract is changed or disregarded because it is unenforceable, the rest of the Contract is still enforceable.

9.6 Signatures. The Client and the Coach must sign this document using Bonsai's e-signing system. These electronic signatures count as originals for all purposes.

9.7 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this document shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America.

9.8 Entire Contract. This Contract represents the parties' final and complete understanding of this job and the subject matter discussed in this Contract. This Contract supersedes all other contracts (both written and oral) between the parties.

You love helping your clients achieve their dreams, and you're good at it. You enjoy the one-on-one coaching sessions, the group workshops, and the speaking engagements. You're making a difference in people's lives, helping them see what's possible, and you're being compensated for it.

But then comes the paperwork. The administrative side of running a life-coaching business can be daunting, and creating a life coaching invoice may seem like just another hurdle to jump.

In this easy-to-follow guide, we'll show you how to create a life coaching invoice that's professional and compliant with the law. Let's get started.

What is a life coaching invoice template?

A life coaching invoice template is a document that you can use to bill your clients for life coaching services. It allows you to itemize the services you've provided, list the cost of each service, and calculate the total amount due.

Invoice templates help you keep track of your income and expenses, and they provide a record of the services you've provided to your clients -- and that's why invoice templates are a must-have in your coaching practice.

How to create a life coaching invoice template?

Here are a few easy steps you need to follow to create invoices that are clear, concise, and professional:

Step 1: Ensure you project professionalism 

Being a health coach  is a highly professional occupation. You are, after all, helping people make significant changes in their lives. As such, your invoice should reflect that professionalism.

That means using a clean, simple invoice template that is free of any typos or grammatical errors. The layout should be easy to read and understand, and it should include your business logo and contact information.

To create the invoice, you can use a word processing program like Microsoft Word or Google Docs. The problem with these programs is that it can be time-consuming to create a professional-looking invoice from scratch, especially using a Word document. Also, it can be difficult to find a specific pre-designed invoice template for your profession using Microsoft Word and Excel. If you're not a design expert, your invoice may end up looking amateurish.

Your best option is to download a professionally designed template for life coaches -- like Bonsai's. This will save you time and energy, and it will ensure that your invoice looks polished and professional.

Step 2: Include a unique invoice number

Every invoice you create should have a unique number. This helps both you and your client keep track of payments, date of service, and other important information.

You can use a sequence of numbers that increases over time. Alternatively, you can add letters in front of the numbers that signify a specific client (i.e., the client's initials). 

Be sure to include the year so that you can easily locate it for tax purposes later on. For example, if this is the first invoice of 2023, you might number it "2023-0001."

Step 3: Enter your contact details

On the invoice, you'll need to include your name, company name (if applicable), address, phone number, email address, and website. You'll also need to include the same information for your client. This helps both you and your client keep track of who the invoice is from, as well as providing a way to get in touch if there are any questions about the charges.

For instance, if you run a coaching tools company and you work with clients remotely, you may want to include your Skype username or any other business information so that your client can easily reach you.

Step 3: Include the date of service, invoice due date, and invoice date

Be sure to include the date (or dates) that the services were provided, as well as when you expect payment. You can also give your client a grace period, such as 14 days, to make the payment.

If you invoice weekly or monthly, you can include the statement "This invoice covers coaching services rendered from [date] to [date]."

Step 4: List out the services provided and their costs

On the life coach invoice, you'll need to itemize the services you provided and list the cost of each service. If you provided multiple services to the same client on different days, be sure to list them out separately.

For example, you might write "60-minute coaching session on goal setting: $120" or "30-minute phone call: $60."

If you offer discounts for package deals or prepayments, be sure to include those discounts on the invoice.

Step 5: Add up the total cost and any taxes due

After you've itemized the services and calculated the cost of each service, you'll need to add up the total cost. If you live in a country or state where sales tax is applicable, be sure to add that to the total cost as well.

For example, if the total cost of the services is $500 and the sales tax rate is

%, the total amount due would be $500 + ($500 x 0.05) = $525.

Step 6: Include payment terms

On the invoice, you'll need to include instructions or terms on how your client can pay you. If you prefer to be paid by check, money order, or PayPal, be sure to include that information. You might also want to give your clients the option to pay by credit card.

If you have a merchant account set up with a credit card processor, you can include your credit card information on the invoice. If you don't have a merchant account, you can use a service like Square or Stripe to process credit card payments.

Step 7: Include a late payment policy (optional)

If you plan to charge interest or late fees for late payments, be sure to include that in the invoice details. For example, you might write:

"Late Fees: A late fee of 12% will be applied to invoices that are more than 14 days overdue."

Step 8: Add a ‘thank you’ note

Showing appreciation for your clients is always a nice touch. You might want to include a thank-you note on the invoice or offer a discount for referrals.

For example, you might write "Thank you for your business! We appreciate your loyalty and look forward to continuing to work with you."

This will go a long way in building a strong relationship with your client who may refer you to other potential clients.
