my promise to you.
In the next section, I outline all legally binding terms & conditions that apply to coaching, education, and experiences with me - Cat McElveen. Here, I outline my promises to you - my clients, my community, my students:
You will always receive a contract for any coaching, education, or digital service/product you purchase form me. Every time.
I will always do my best to listen to your feedback and concerns, and adjust my practices where deemed necessary.
I will never pressure you to purchase anything from me, ever. You buy if you want, and don't buy if it's not the time. No hard feelings.
I will not use predatory marketing tactics such as manufactured urgency. If there is a deadline or urgency to buy, it is because of a legitimate start date or necessary cutoff.
I will not hand-hold your transformation, and I will also not leave you in the depths without support. I hold space for your most self-generated and empowered results, always.
To the best of my ability, I will never embellish, sensationalize, or inflate possible results and outcomes of my programs and courses/classes. The outcomes used in marketing are as accurate and intentional as possible. That said, I cannot guarantee any result or outcome from any of my coaching or programs. It is a not a magic wand, or a given.
I will never, ever share any personal data, statements or information outside of our sessions together. Your information is sacred and confidential. No specific content or identifying information from our conversations, meetings, or sessions will be shared publicly or privately with anyone except within your own private client notes.
Finally, I promise to hold space for you with the utmost love and acceptance of your and your precious heart.

FINE PRINT
CAT MCELVEEN COACHING LLC is a separate entity from the owner, Catherine McElveen. That means that Catherine McElveen is not personally liable to you for anything.
CAT MCELVEEN COACHING LLC can’t guarantee that our work will be error-free because we are human and sometimes make mistakes which is why you get the opportunity to review the work we have done for you and to make corrections before completion. Because we’re not perfect and we are working with information you provide to us, CAT MCELVEEN COACHING LLC can’t be liable to you or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages, even if you’ve advised us of them. If you’ve represented yourself or any items you provide to CAT MCELVEEN COACHING LLC or us erroneously (either purposefully or not), you agree to indemnify and hold CAT MCELVEEN COACHING LLC harmless from any and all legal proceedings, judgments or awards that may result from such errors.
Nothing in this agreement will keep CAT MCELVEEN COACHING LLC from working for, or from taking on, any other client, even if that client is in competition with you.
Finally, if any provision of this contract shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable or separate from this contract and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the agreement.
If we ever find a point in our working relationship where we simply cannot agree on something, we will make attempts to resolve this disagreement informally and in good faith, and part as friends. If that doesn’t work out, we’ll agree to bring in a third party for mediation (and ultimately arbitration if mediation doesn’t work) to sort out the problem, because the very last thing anyone wants to do is go to court. We’ll divide the cost for the mediator and/or arbitration equally between us, and the arbitration will take place in Columbia, South Carolina.
You can’t transfer this contract to anyone else without permission from CAT MCELVEEN COACHING LLC.
Although the language is simple, the intentions are serious and this contract is a legal document under exclusive jurisdiction of South Carolina courts and the Richland County District Court.
