Governing Law

Christy Collins is based in Massachusetts, United States.  By using this site, you agree that all business conducted on this site is subject to and will be regulated by Massachusetts law. 

It is my sincere hope that any potential disagreements can be resolved amicably.  

However, by using this site you agree to submit to a binding mediation clause.  This means that we both agree to settle any differences with a professional mediator, located within Massachusetts, United States.  We will select the mediator jointly and split the cost, although the prevailing party may request to be reimbursed as part of the settlement agreement. 

A good faith attempt at mediation must be made prior to filing within the Massachusetts court system. 

By using this site, you agree that any potential damages will be limited to the cost paid for coaching.  

Severability

In the event that any one of these provisions shall be found unenforceable, all other terms and conditions will remain in full effect. 

I reserve the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time, and you will be subject to any and all future changes.  Any future updates will be posted here.
