​

4. Books, Publications and Digital Downloads

​

All Ways Inspired offers original written publications, including books, journals and digital resources.

​

Our publications may be made available directly through our websites or through third-party retailers, including Amazon.

​

Purchases Through Amazon

 

Where a website page directs you to Amazon to purchase a publication, the purchase is completed through Amazon and is subject to Amazon's applicable terms, conditions, payment arrangements, delivery policies and refund procedures.

 

All Ways Inspired does not control Amazon's purchasing platform or its transaction policies.

 

Customers should review Amazon's applicable terms before completing a purchase.

​

Direct Digital Purchases

 

Where e-books, PDFs or other digital publications are purchased directly through our websites, the purchaser receives a personal-use licence to access and use the purchased material.

 

Digital publications may not be reproduced, redistributed, resold, shared, uploaded, published or otherwise commercially exploited without prior written permission.

 

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, digital purchases are final once the purchased material has been delivered or made available for download. We do not offer refunds simply because a purchaser changes their mind.

​

If you experience difficulty accessing a purchased file or discover that a file is defective, please contact us so that we can assist in resolving the issue.

​

Nothing in this policy limits any rights or remedies available under applicable consumer protection legislation.

​

If a book arrives damaged, defective or differs from the item ordered, please contact us so that an appropriate resolution can be arranged.

 

All applicable statutory consumer rights remain in effect.

​

5. Coaching Services

 

All Ways Inspired offers private, written personal-development coaching in four areas:

​

• HEALTH – Personal exploration and support relating to health, wellness and weight release.

• WORK – Personal and professional growth, empowerment and direction.

• LIFE – Self-discovery, personal development and creating a more fulfilling life.

• LOVE – Personal exploration and growth in relationships.

 

Coaching is offered by application only.

​

Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance or establish a coaching relationship.

 

A coaching relationship begins only after an application has been reviewed and accepted by Verna Lee Bowen and both parties have agreed to proceed.

 

The nature of the coaching relationship, communication arrangements, contribution and payment schedule will be established before coaching begins.

​

Communication

​

Private coaching conversations take place primarily through Signal.

 

Email may also be used when necessary or preferred, particularly for administrative correspondence, welcome information, payment arrangements, confirmations and receipts.

​

Coaching communications are intended to remain private and confidential, subject to the limitations described in these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

 

Signal and email are third-party communication services. Their respective terms and privacy practices also apply to your use of those services.

​

Initial Coaching Period

 

All new coaching relationships begin with an initial one-month arrangement.

 

This initial period allows clients to experience the coaching relationship, become familiar with the communication process and determine whether the approach is right for them.

​

After completing the initial month, clients may independently choose to continue on a month-to-month basis or enter into a longer coaching commitment.

​

Longer-Term Coaching Arrangements

 

Clients who wish to continue coaching may choose to enter into a three-month or six-month arrangement.

 

Longer-term commitments are optional and are initiated by the client after experiencing the initial month of coaching.

 

All Ways Inspired intentionally limits its coaching practice to a maximum of ten clients at any given time.

 

Because coaching capacity is limited, continued participation and the availability of coaching places are subject to existing commitments and availability.

​

Trust & Contribution Model

​

Coaching is offered through the Trust & Contribution Model.

 

There is no fixed fee or prescribed contribution amount. Clients are invited to consider their financial circumstances and determine an amount they can comfortably and responsibly contribute.

 

Contribution amounts are mutually agreed upon before coaching begins or before a new coaching term is established.

 

Monthly arrangements are generally paid in advance. Three-month and six-month commitments are generally paid at the beginning of the agreed term.

 

Alternative payment schedules may be mutually agreed upon in advance.

 

Once a contribution amount and payment schedule have been mutually agreed upon, clients are expected to honour that commitment.

​

We ask clients to make thoughtful, informed decisions about their financial commitments before entering into an arrangement.

​

If circumstances change, we encourage open and timely communication so that any necessary adjustments can be discussed respectfully and in good faith.

 

Specific payment arrangements and any applicable cancellation or refund provisions will be confirmed in the individual coaching agreement.

​

Ending a Coaching Relationship

 

Either the client or the coach may choose to end a coaching relationship.

 

We ask that reasonable communication and consideration be extended to one another when ending an arrangement.

​

Any outstanding payment obligations, adjustments or potential refunds associated with an existing coaching commitment will be addressed in accordance with the individual coaching agreement and applicable consumer protection legislation.

 

Nothing in these Terms removes or restricts any statutory cancellation or refund rights available to a client.

​

6. Nature and Limitations of Coaching

 

Coaching is intended to support personal exploration, reflection, awareness, empowerment and individual growth.

 

It is a collaborative process that may involve questions, written guidance, observations, suggestions and opportunities for personal reflection.

 

Coaching is not counselling, psychotherapy or psychological treatment.

​

It is not a substitute for medical, mental health, legal, financial or other professional advice, diagnosis or treatment.

 

Clients are encouraged to seek the appropriate professional assistance whenever their circumstances require it.

 

Coaching is not an emergency service and coaching communication channels are not monitored continuously. Anyone experiencing an emergency should contact the appropriate emergency services or qualified professional.

​

Health and Wellness Disclaimer

 

Information shared through our HEALTH coaching area, website articles, publications, journals and other resources is intended for general educational and personal-development purposes.

 

It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical or psychological condition.

​

Always consult a qualified healthcare professional regarding medical concerns, treatment decisions or changes to prescribed medications.

​

7. Client Responsibility and Individual Results

 

Clients are responsible for their own decisions, choices, actions and personal well-being throughout the coaching relationship.

 

Coaching provides an opportunity for reflection, exploration and support. It does not guarantee particular results or outcomes.

 

Individual experiences and results will vary according to personal circumstances, choices, participation and many other factors.

 

All Ways Inspired makes no guarantees regarding specific personal, professional, health-related, financial or relationship outcomes.

​

Clients remain responsible for determining whether any suggestions or information shared through coaching are appropriate for their individual circumstances.

​

8. Confidentiality

 

We recognize that trust and confidentiality are essential to a meaningful coaching relationship.

 

Information shared through private coaching conversations will be treated with respect and discretion and will not knowingly be disclosed to others without the client's consent, except where disclosure is required or permitted by law, or where circumstances involving a serious risk of harm may require appropriate action.

 

Confidentiality is not an absolute guarantee against disclosure in every circumstance.

​

The handling and protection of personal information are also governed by our Privacy Policy.

​

9. Website Use and Availability

 

We make reasonable efforts to maintain the accessibility and functionality of our websites.

 

However, we cannot guarantee that our websites will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or free from errors.

 

Website availability may occasionally be affected by maintenance, upgrades, technical difficulties, hosting services, Internet interruptions or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

 

We reserve the right to update, modify, suspend or discontinue website features or content as necessary.

​

We ask visitors to use our websites responsibly and not attempt to interfere with their operation, security or functionality.

​

10. Third-Party Websites and Services

 

Our websites may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, retailers and services, including Amazon.

 

These external websites and services are independently operated and are subject to their own terms, conditions and privacy policies.

 

All Ways Inspired does not control or assume responsibility for the content, policies, availability, transactions or practices of third-party websites.

 

Accessing external websites is at your own discretion.

​

11. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

 

Our websites, content, publications and resources are provided for general informational, educational and personal-development purposes.

 

While we make reasonable efforts to ensure that information is accurate and current, we do not guarantee that all website content will be complete, accurate, current or suitable for every individual's circumstances.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, All Ways Inspired is not responsible for losses or damages arising from the use of, or inability to use, our websites or general informational content.

 

This includes indirect or consequential losses arising from website interruptions, technical issues, third-party services or reliance on general information provided through our websites.

 

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law, including applicable consumer protection rights and any liability that cannot legally be excluded.

​

12. Consumer Protection and Statutory Rights

 

All Ways Inspired operates in accordance with applicable Canadian and Alberta laws.

 

Where purchases or services are subject to consumer protection legislation, customers retain all rights and remedies provided under that legislation.

 

In particular, nothing in these Terms is intended to waive, restrict or exclude any rights provided under Alberta's Consumer Protection Act, the Internet Sales Contract Regulation or other applicable legislation.

 

Where statutory cancellation, refund or other consumer rights apply, those rights take precedence over any conflicting provision in these Terms or an individual agreement.

​

13. Disputes and Governing Law

 

We believe that open and respectful communication is the best starting point for resolving disagreements.

 

If a concern or dispute arises, we encourage you to contact us so that we may attempt to resolve the matter fairly and informally.

 

If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it may be addressed through the appropriate legal processes available under applicable law.

 

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the applicable laws of Canada.

 

Nothing in this section prevents a customer from exercising any statutory right to pursue a claim through the courts or another legally available process.

 

These Terms do not impose mandatory binding arbitration or require customers to waive their legal rights.

​

14. Changes to These Terms

 

All Ways Inspired reserves the right to update or revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our business, website functionality, services or legal obligations.

 

Any revised Terms will be posted on our websites with an updated revision date.

 

Changes will generally take effect when posted and will apply prospectively. Changes to an existing purchase or coaching agreement will not apply retroactively unless required by law or mutually agreed upon.

 

We encourage visitors and clients to review these Terms periodically.

​

15. Entire Agreement and Severability

 

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any applicable individual purchase or coaching agreements, establish the terms governing your use of our websites and services.

 

Where an individual written agreement contains specific provisions relating to a purchase or coaching arrangement, those provisions will apply to that particular arrangement, subject to applicable law.

 

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
