Policies regarding communication

Because we use email as our primary mode of communication, it is critical that you notify us if your email address changes.

Although we will gather your phone number, it will only be used if we need to reach you on short notice.

We cannot be responsible for lack of communication if we do not have a working email address and/or phone number.

Policies for ALL sessions

The following policies apply to ALL sessions with Anne (i.e., training sessions, mentoring sessions):

  • You must be 18 years old to schedule an appointment with Anne. If you are under 18, then we will need to arrange for 1 of the following:
    • Written permission provided by your parent or legal guardian.
    • Arranging to have your parent or legal guardian attend the virtual session with you.
  • If you are NOT located in the Pacific Time Zone:
    • Please be sure to check for time zone differences when scheduling your appointment. (NOTE: Click here for time zone converter.)
    • Although we will do our best to accommodate time zone differences, please understand that Anne’s appointment times are limited.
  • It is important to refrain from using alcohol or other drugs within a few hours before and/or during your appointment. Participating in your session when under the influence of alcohol or other drugs will result in:
    • Termination of the session.
    • A refund will NOT be issued.

Wait list policies and procedures

Due to the popularity of her services, we occasionally need to implement a wait list. If this happens, then we ask for your understanding and patience.

NOTE: Those on the wait list will be contacted in the order in which the requests are received.

Scheduling policies and procedures

The following scheduling policies and procedures will be used:

  • After we received your “Interested Form”:
    • We will send you an email that will provide you with payment options. (NOTE: Your appointment will not be scheduled until payment has been received in full.)
    • You will have 5 working days to (a) confirm your interest and (b) make payment in full.
    • If you do not confirm your interest and/or make payment in full within 5 working days, then your name will be removed from the “Interested List.” You are free to contact us at a later date and request a session; however, if there is a wait list being used at that time, then you will be added to the wait list as of the date your new request is received.
  • Once payment in full has been received:
    • We will provide you with possible appointment dates and times.
    • You will have 5 working days to confirm your booking in writing.
    • If you do not confirm your booking within 5 working days, then your name and payment will be placed back on the “Interested List.” At that point, you can decide whether you want to (a) start the scheduling process again OR (b) request a refund. (NOTE: Click here to review our refund policies. If you elected to use PayPal to pay for your session, please see the information about refunds through PayPal. )

Payment policies

The following payment policies apply to ALL sessions with Anne:

  • Payment in full and in advance is required before your appointment will be scheduled.
  • IMPART uses PayPal to process all payments. Payment options include either (a) paying directly by accessing our PayPal account, (b) requesting that we send you a PayPal invoice, or (c) providing credit card information and requesting that IMPART process the payment through PayPal.

NOTE: All prices listed on this website are in U.S. dollars.

Special payment policies for training and mentoring sessions

When scheduling training and mentoring sessions, we will ask you to indicate how much time you would like to spend with Anne (e.g., 15 minutes, 25 minutes, 50 minutes).

However, we recognize that this is an estimation and that the time needed to cover your topic(s) might be MORE THAN or LESS THAN your estimation.

If the time you estimated differs, the following policies and procedures will be implemented:

  • If the session length that you estimated is MORE THAN the time that was needed (e.g., you scheduled 75 minutes, but Anne covered your questions in 50 minutes), then you have the following options:
    • You can let us know that you’d like to “roll over” the amount of the difference between the two session fees. When you are ready, you can apply that amount toward another session with Anne. (NOTE: Click here to review our roll over policies.)
    • You can request a refund of the difference between the two session fees.
  • If the session length that you estimated is LESS THAN the time that was needed (e.g., you scheduled 50 minutes, but Anne will need more time to cover the topic(s) and answer your questions), then Anne will ask if you want to schedule another appointment. If you wish to do so, then we will contact you to set up another appointment at the earliest possible date/time.

  • If you want to apply your roll over fee to a DIFFERENT type of session and the fee for the new session type is different than the amount you originally paid, then:
    • If the fee is HIGHER for the new type of session, then you agree to pay the difference.
