You’re hiring me to plan and deliver corporate training workshops, and I’m agreeing to do that work for you on the terms below. If you’ve accepted a proposal from me for this project, the proposal and this agreement are meant to be read together, and these terms apply to the full engagement from intake through delivery and wrap-up.
What I'm delivering
I’ll deliver the corporate training workshops described in your accepted proposal, including the prep work needed to make the sessions practical for your managers and supervisors.
Your deliverables are listed under this section in the proposal, and they’re what I’m committing to provide. Before design starts, you’ll give me one main point of contact, access to the policies or process docs that matter for this training, and time for stakeholder interviews. If those inputs land late, the timeline moves by the same amount. You’ll review the session plan and materials before delivery, and you’ll sign off on what’s in scope before I build beyond it.
Payment
To book corporate training workshops, you pay 50% of the total price when you sign. I hold your dates once the agreement is signed and that booking payment is in. I invoice the remaining 50% when the engagement is complete.
Each invoice is payable within 14 days of its date. If an invoice goes past due, I’ll pause any upcoming delivery, office hours, or materials work until your account is current, and I’ll work with you to rebook the next available dates that keep the same sequence of weeks. If you want to change the plan after intake, I’ll price the change in writing, including any timeline impact, and I won’t start the extra work until you approve it.
Keeping things private
In the course of this work I may learn information about your people, your policies, performance situations, customer issues, or upcoming changes. You may also see how I run sessions, structure discussions, and build materials. I’ll keep what you share with me private, and I expect you to treat my non-public materials and process the same way.
I use your internal documents only to tailor the training to your reality, and I don’t share them outside your organization. When the engagement ends, I’ll keep my working files so I can support what I delivered, but I won’t use your confidential information in other work. If you want me to delete specific items you provided, tell me and I’ll confirm what I deleted.
Who owns what
I build session plans, slides, worksheets, prompts, and follow-up tools for your engagement. Once the final invoice is paid, you can use those materials inside your organization for the people you’re training, including sharing them with participants and using them to reinforce the same practices over time.
I keep ownership of my underlying frameworks, templates, exercises, and training approach, even when they show up in what I deliver to you. That lets me keep improving my materials and reuse the same building blocks with other clients. You agree not to resell my materials, publish them publicly, or use them to deliver training outside your organization without my written okay.
Independent work
I’m an independent contractor. That means I’m not your employee, and you’re not hiring me to manage your staff, make HR decisions for you, or act as your internal investigator. You stay responsible for your policies and employment decisions, and you decide what actions to take after training.
I’m responsible for how I do the work, including my own taxes, insurance, tools, and methods. You’re responsible for what you provide so the sessions can run well, like access to the right stakeholders during intake and, for on-site delivery, a room that fits the group, basic A/V, and a start time that allows people to arrive and settle before we begin.
Limits and reality
My job is to deliver training that’s practical, structured, and aligned to the goals we agree on. Because training is about people and follow-through, I can’t promise specific business results, behavior changes, or outcomes after the sessions. What happens Monday morning depends on your leadership, systems, and reinforcement.
I’m not responsible for issues caused by inaccurate or incomplete information you give me, or by participants choosing not to engage in good faith. If something in a session starts to turn personal, unsafe, or likely to create an HR problem, I’ll intervene in the moment and, if needed, pause to align with your point of contact. You remain responsible for handling any employment or HR steps that follow.
Ending the project
Either of us can end this project by giving the other written notice. Because training schedules are tied to calendars and participant availability, I’ll ask you to confirm the notice period with me in writing so we’re both working to the same date.
If the project ends early, you’ll pay for the work I’ve already completed up to the end date, including any design and materials time, completed interviews, delivered sessions, and any reserved delivery time I turned down other work to hold. I’ll send an invoice for the balance due, or I’ll refund any unearned portion of what you’ve already paid. After that, I’ll hand over the materials that are complete and usable at that point, along with a brief status recap so you can continue internally if you choose.
