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.

A successful massage therapy begins as soon as the client sets up an appointment. An appropriate intake form will help set clear expectations, improve the efficacy of your therapy, and alleviate any client concern. The information you collect on the form might show the client's preferences as well as any potential issues that may develop during the massage. This degree of comprehension, along with an excellent massage, will have your clients returning for more.

The massage intake form can also help to avoid legal complications if the client has a pre-existing medical condition or injury that is aggravated by massage. You can create a tailored form based on your client's needs, or draft a massage intake form template that you can easily share with every new client before starting the massage therapy.

But what are the specific aspects you should cover in your massage intake form? Read on to find out.

Essential Elements to Include in Your Massage Client Intake Form

Aside from obtaining the client's full name and basic contact details (including emergency contact information), your massage intake form should focus on gathering essential health and medical history. At the same time, asking about the client's preferences and lifestyle will allow you to set clear expectations and provide a more effective treatment plan.

Let's take a closer look into each of the vital elements you must cover when creating your own client intake form.

Reason For Visit

To begin your massage intake form, try to determine why the client is seeking your services. Is it to alleviate stress, or is their illness more chronic? Identifying their requirements is a multi-step process, but you must start somewhere. People frequently seek massage therapists late in the process, rather than as soon as feasible, so you may be assisting people who are already experiencing significant disruption in their daily lives as a result of a common injury.

Ask how their injury (if any) is affecting their life and find out what results they'd want to reach at the end of the massage sessions.

Medical History

Next, determine whether there are any pre-existing medical conditions or anything that might put them at danger when employing particular techniques. It's critical to know whether your client is taking any drugs that might interfere with their massage experience or change the style of massage that's best for them.

People frequently fail to tell things that seem apparent to you, so it's crucial to discuss the fundamentals before you begin therapy, such as if your client is allergic to anything. The last thing you want is for your customer to get a rash because you used an oil to treat them that they are allergic to.

Lifestyle

Knowing which muscles your clients rely on on a regular basis allows you to choose which primary muscle groups to target. Inquiring about their lifestyle will give you a good insight into how they sit, stand and move about their days. Do they take breaks at work on a regular basis? Are they able to use ergonomically proper seats or tools? Inquire about any sports and interests they may have, and how they accomplish any other duties you believe might be relevant.

A client's lower back discomfort might be caused by a variety of reasons. If they spend all day lugging heavy boxes around a storage facility, you might be able to eliminate some of those possibilities and create a technique to repair the damage while also preventing it from happening again.

Preferences

Every client has different preferences regarding the atmosphere during massage sessions. You should never presume that the customer enjoys the same music as you, or shares your preferences for the scent of the message lotion. What works for one client may nor work for the next. Perhaps the client dislikes scented oils or doesn't even want to listen to music while getting a massage.

If the client has seen a massage therapist before, ask how the experience went and what if they disliked anything about it. It's important to include a set of questions to find out how you can make this experience as satisfying as possible for your clients.

Consent Form

While some massage therapists provide consent forms in a separate document, the informed consent clause can easily be added to your client intake form. This section should provide enough information for the client to be fully aware of the different sorts of massage that you might utilize, any massage alternatives available, risks that they might be subject to, and explicitly state their full right to ask any questions or stop the procedure at any time.
