ONE-ON-ONE MENTORSHIP AGREEMENT
Agreement for One-on-One Mentorship Services
Effective Date: The date on which Client submits the application form and renders the first payment (the “Effective Date”).
Parties: Malaurie Hotier, in her capacity as owner of Malaurie Hotier LLC, hello@malaurie.com (“Mentor”; Malaurie Hotier LLC is the “Company”), and the person whose name, email address, and electronic signature appear on the application form submitted with this Agreement (“Client”).
1. INTRODUCTION
This is an Agreement between Malaurie Hotier (“Mentor”), in her capacity as owner of Malaurie Hotier LLC (“Company”), and you, the Client, for one-on-one mentorship services. This Agreement has been reached after an offer and acceptance was made to Client, and in exchange for adequate consideration.
Company is a United States company that provides psychic, mediumship, and spiritual teaching services. Company offers a one-on-one mentorship program to individual clients (the “Program”). Client’s place in the Program is confirmed only when Client’s first payment has been received.
The Program exists to form a mentorship relationship between Mentor and Client. The ultimate goal is to support Client’s development as a practitioner, including Client’s readings, Client’s work with Client’s own clients, and Client’s confidence and methods of practice. This will be done through interactions between Mentor and Client throughout the Term of this Agreement.
Company hereby agrees to provide Client with the Program in exchange for payment and performance of Client’s Responsibilities (hereinafter defined). Client agrees to make all payments and abide by all policies and procedures as a condition to this Agreement.
By checking the agreement boxes on the application form, entering an electronic signature, clicking the submit or payment button, entering payment information, or otherwise rendering payment (either in full or partial) for the Program, Client agrees to be provided with the Program by Company, acknowledges all policies and procedures contained within this document, and is executing a legally binding agreement with Company, subject to the following terms and conditions:
2. TERM
This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date. The term of the Program shall be twelve (12) weeks (the “Term”), beginning on the date on which Client’s first Session takes place (the “Start Date”) and ending eighty-four (84) days after the Start Date (the “End Date”). By way of example only, a Start Date of December 10, 2026 results in an End Date of March 4, 2027. Wherever this Agreement, the application form, or Company’s website refers to a “three-month” commitment, that reference means the twelve (12) week Term defined in this Section.
Client shall schedule the first Session within seven (7) days of the Effective Date, for the first available date that suits Client. If Client has not scheduled the first Session within those seven (7) days, Company will contact Client to set the Start Date. Company will confirm the Start Date and the End Date to Client in writing by email once the first Session has been scheduled. If the first Session is rescheduled in accordance with Section 6, the Start Date and the End Date shall move accordingly, and Company will confirm the new dates to Client in writing.
The Program shall end on the End Date, regardless of whether Client has completed all Sessions included in Client’s Plan.
3. DISCLAIMER + MENTORSHIP DEFINITION
Mentor is not a therapist, medical professional, lawyer, accountant, public relations specialist, employee, manager, psychiatrist, psychologist, state licensed mental healthcare provider, doctor, counselor, social media manager, business consultant, financial analyst, or other agent of Client or of Client’s business. Client understands that mentorship is working one-on-one with Mentor to help Client think through and analyze questions arising in Client’s practice and to assist Client with finding Client’s own direction. Mentor may offer her opinion regarding decisions, but it is the responsibility of Client to make the final decision and choose the best option for Client.
The mentorship services in this Program are specific and limited in nature, pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement (the “Mentorship Services”). Mentorship Services do not include: 1) a psychic or mediumship reading for Client, whether during a Session or in any message; 2) therapy sessions in the form of psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, or behavioral therapy, or counseling of any kind; 3) medical, legal, or financial advice; 4) procuring business or potential clients for Client; 5) performing any business management services for Client, such as accounting, operations, research, or development; 6) publicity, public relations and/or social media marketing services; 7) introduction to Mentor’s professional network and business relationships. A reading is a separate service offered by Company under its own terms.
Client hereby acknowledges that mentorship is a subjective service and that Company’s methods to provide this service may change in terms of style and/or technique. Company and/or Mentor may use personal judgment to provide the Program to Client, even if these methods do not follow strict adherence to Client’s suggestions.
The Program includes no guarantees as to Client’s results simply by participating in the Program. Client hereby acknowledges that Client is solely responsible for the amount and type of results that Client generates by implementing techniques and suggestions provided by Mentor. The Program includes no guarantees that departed loved ones will come through during any reading, whether a reading Client receives or a reading Client gives to another person. Client also agrees that Client is solely responsible for any personal, professional, or business decision Client makes and for the services Client provides to Client’s own clients, and indemnifies Company and Mentor from any liability regarding said decisions and services.
4. SCOPE OF SERVICES AND MENTOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES
Mentor promises to offer Mentorship Services (as defined in Section 3) as part of the Program. Client selects one (1) of the following two (2) plans on the application form (the “Plan”). The Plan selected determines the Mentorship Services Client receives and the Fee Client pays for the Term:
A. Once a Month Plan. Three (3) 50-minute mentorship calls to be held via Zoom (each a “Session”) during the Term, recommended at approximately one (1) Session every four (4) weeks; and support between Sessions via WhatsApp (voice note or text) and email from the Start Date until the End Date, with responses provided every Friday.
B. Twice a Month Plan. Six (6) 50-minute Sessions to be held via Zoom during the Term, recommended at approximately one (1) Session every two (2) weeks; and support between Sessions via WhatsApp (voice note or text) and email from the Start Date until the End Date, with responses provided within twenty-four (24) hours.
Support between Sessions is for mentorship questions only and does not include readings. Mentor promises to manage the process of each Session, although the content of each Session will vary and is dependent on Client’s goals.
Mentor will use the following techniques to assist Client:
Questioning and listening techniques;
Answering Client’s questions about Client’s practice;
Sharing knowledge drawn from Mentor’s own practice and teaching;
Providing accountability, guidance, challenge, support, and encouragement.
5. CLIENT’S RESPONSIBILITIES
Company’s Program has been developed for educational purposes only. Company has established its proprietary Program in order to educate and inspire Client in Client’s development as a practitioner. However, Client hereby acknowledges that Company does not guarantee Client’s goals, whatever the goals may be, will be reached by completing and implementing the advice and techniques in the Program. Client accepts and agrees that Client is 100% responsible for Client’s results from the Program. Client acknowledges that, as with any endeavor and investment, there is an inherent risk associated. As such, Client agrees there is no guarantee that Client will attain Client’s goals by simply completing the Program.
Nevertheless, Client acknowledges that Client can optimize Client’s potential results from the Program by adhering to the following (“Client’s Responsibilities”):
Scheduling the first Session within seven (7) days of the Effective Date;
Scheduling all Sessions so that they take place within the Term, and attending each Session at the scheduled date, on time;
Thoughtful and meaningful participation in all Sessions with Mentor;
Utilization of Mentor’s feedback via WhatsApp and email;
Committing to the Program;
Immediately rescheduling any Session if necessary, in accordance with Section 6, and adhering to the rescheduled time and date;
Making all payments when due;
Taking 100% responsibility for Client’s results, 100% of the time.
6. SCHEDULING, RESCHEDULING, CANCELLATION, AND NO-SHOWS
A. Scheduling. Client schedules each Session through the scheduling link provided by Company. Company recommends that Client schedule all Sessions included in Client’s Plan at the time Client schedules the first Session.
B. Rescheduling. Company has a strict rescheduling policy to respect the time and limited resources of all parties. All rescheduling requests must be made via the rescheduling link in Client’s confirmation email no later than 24 hours prior to the scheduled Session. Failure to comply with this policy shall result in forfeiture of that Session with no money back: the Session shall count as one of the Sessions included in Client’s Plan, and no replacement Session will be offered.
C. Cancellation. Cancellation of a Session by Client must be done no later than 24 hours prior to the Session. A Session cancelled by Client less than 24 hours prior to the scheduled Session time is forfeited with no money back.
D. No-Shows. If Client does not show for a Session, for any reason, the Session is forfeited, and it is the strict policy of Company to offer no refunds and no replacement Session.
E. Sessions Within the Term. All Sessions must take place on or before the End Date. Any Session not held on or before the End Date is forfeited, does not carry over beyond the Term, and is not refundable.
F. Rescheduling by Mentor. If Mentor needs to reschedule or cancel a Session, Mentor will notify Client as soon as reasonably possible and offer an alternative time. A Session rescheduled or cancelled by Mentor is not forfeited and does not count against the Sessions included in Client’s Plan.
7. REFUND POLICY
Client has until the day of the first scheduled Session, and in every case before the first Session takes place, to request a complete refund of all payments made under this Agreement. All refund requests must be made in writing by email to hello@malaurie.com. After the first Session takes place, there are no refunds and Client remains responsible for all payments due under this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section, a first Session forfeited under Section 6 is treated as having taken place.
Dissatisfaction or disapproval with Mentor’s or Company’s methods is not a valid reason for a refund or an excuse not to make remaining payments due and owed under this Agreement. All other refunds are subject to the sole discretion of Malaurie Hotier LLC.
8. PAYMENT & FEES
A. Fee. The fee for the Mentorship Services and Program (the “Fee”) must be paid as follows, according to the Plan selected by Client:
Once a Month Plan: three (3) payments of six hundred ninety-nine and 00/100 Dollars ($699.00 USD), totaling $2,097.00 USD;
Twice a Month Plan: three (3) payments of nine hundred ninety-nine and 00/100 Dollars ($999.00 USD), totaling $2,997.00 USD;
The first payment is due immediately upon submission of the application form and execution of this Agreement. No Mentorship Services shall commence under any circumstances until the first payment is rendered by Client;
The second payment is due one (1) month after the Effective Date, and the third and final payment is due two (2) months after the Effective Date, each on the same day of the month as the first payment;
Payments are made by recurring billing through PayPal and are due according to this schedule from the Effective Date, regardless of the Start Date.
B. Full Fee Owed. Upon execution of this Agreement, and subject only to Section 7 (Refund Policy), Client agrees to pay to Company the full Fee for the Plan selected. Once the first Session takes place, all three (3) payments are due and owed, regardless of whether Client uses every Session or all of the support included in Client’s Plan.
C. Authorization. Client authorizes Company to charge the PayPal account or payment method used at checkout to complete all three (3) payments pursuant to the payment plan, without further approval from Client for each payment. After the third payment, no further payment will be charged unless Client and Company agree in writing to continue under Section 9.
D. Late and Failed Payments. Company understands that, from time to time, there are issues with payment. All payments must be received by Company within five (5) days of the due date for that installment. If a payment is not received within five (5) days of its due date, Company may suspend Sessions and support until the payment is received, and any period of suspension shall not extend the Term. Any payment not received within thirty (30) days of its due date will result in Client’s breach of this Agreement and may result in termination of Mentorship Services under Section 10.
E. Disputes and Collection. Client agrees to contact Company at hello@malaurie.com to resolve any concern about a payment before initiating any chargeback or payment dispute. Company reserves the right to collect any and all monies owed by Client to Company for the Program, by any means necessary within the parameters of the law. Client shall pay for any fees associated with recouping payment, including but not limited to, collections fees and attorneys’ fees.
9. CONTINUATION AFTER THE TERM
Neither party is obligated to continue beyond the End Date. Before the End Date, Client and Company may agree in writing to continue for a further twelve (12) week term, on the same Plan or on the other Plan, in which case the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the further term. If the parties do not so agree, the Program ends on the End Date and no further payment will be charged.
10. TERMINATION
Company is committed to providing quality service to all clients. However, from time to time, situations arise that require Company to terminate the Agreement before the Term ends. As such, Company reserves the right to terminate the Agreement “for cause” at any time during the Agreement, which includes, but is not limited to, the following causes: 1) Client fails to follow Program guidelines; 2) Client is abusive toward or harasses Mentor or other members of Company; 3) Client refuses to pay or does not pay within the schedule outlined in Section 8 above; 4) Client proves to be difficult to work with and/or does not attend the scheduled Sessions; 5) for any other legitimate business purposes in the best interest of Company. If any of the foregoing causes trigger Company to terminate the Agreement, Client is still liable to pay the entire cost of the Agreement.
Client dissatisfaction with Company’s and/or Mentor’s subjective teaching style, independent judgment, methods, or other techniques are not valid reasons for termination of this Agreement or request of any monies returned to Client. Even if Client does not complete all portions of the Program, Client is nevertheless responsible for all payments due and owed under this Agreement by making the first payment of the Program at checkout and executing this Agreement, subject only to Section 7 (Refund Policy).
