Sleep Coaching Terms and Conditions Agreement

What a good one includes

• A prominent medical disclaimer clarifying that sleep coaching is strictly educational and does not replace professional medical or pediatric care.
• Explicit payment terms outlining onboarding fees, billing cycles, and accepted payment methods before any coaching services begin.
• A clear cancellation and rescheduling policy that defines the exact notice required to avoid forfeiting a scheduled session.
• A detailed scope of services describing exactly what is included in the package, such as custom sleep plans or follow-up text support.
• A robust limitation of liability clause to protect your personal and business assets if a client is dissatisfied with their results.
• Intellectual property protections ensuring that your sleep guides, templates, and customized plans remain your exclusive property.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Failing to explicitly state that you are not a doctor, which can lead to serious legal exposure if a client has an underlying medical condition.
• Leaving refund policies vague or unmentioned, which often results in stressful disputes when a client's baby goes through a normal developmental regression.
• Forgetting to define clear communication hours, leading to clients texting or calling you at midnight for immediate crisis management.
• Copying a generic coaching agreement from the internet that fails to address the unique physical safety concerns inherent to infant sleep coaching.
