7. No Guarantee of Results

The Provider offers guidance based on professional experience, judgement and the information available at the time of the session. The Client remains responsible for final decisions, actions, employment choices, commercial decisions, operational decisions and outcomes.

No specific job, promotion, contract, sale, certification, business result, technical result, psychological outcome or financial result is guaranteed.
