Sample Personal Consultation Service Contract

Project Description

Consultant agrees to provide a Personal Consultation Service to Client, which includes:

  • Evaluation of Spending: Review and analyze three (3) to five (5) months of personal spending records, including but not limited to debit/credit card statements, categorized accounting software reports (e.g., QuickBooks), or other financial records provided by Client.

  • Credit Card Strategy: One (1) custom credit card strategy PDF, detailing recommendations Client can take to earn and redeem points for desired travel goals.

  • Strategy Sessions: Up to four (4) 30-minute virtual sessions (approximately once per quarter) to present analysis, recommended credit card strategy, and, as necessary, education regarding points earning and redemption.

These services are intended to guide and educate the Client. Consultant does not directly book travel or apply for credit cards on behalf of the Client.

Terms

Payment
The total fee for the above services is $300 USD per month, billed over a minimum commitment of a six (6) month term, with the first payment due prior to the initiation of the Evaluation of Spending ("Evaluation") and subsequent consultation sessions. Failure to complete the term does not relieve Client of the remaining balance owed.

Clients who elect to pay in full for a year upfront shall receive a discounted rate of $3000 USD, due in full prior to the initiation of the Evaluation.

Payments shall be made via ACH and debit/credit cards and are non-refundable, except as noted below.

Rescheduling and refunds
Client may reschedule any consultation session with at least 24 hours’ notice. No-shows or cancellations within 24 hours are non-refundable and will count as a completed session. In the event Consultant cannot deliver services due to unforeseen circumstances, a full or prorated refund will be provided, depending on the work completed to date.

Client responsibilities

Client agrees to:

  • Provide accurate and complete information regarding their travel preferences, financial situation, and current rewards balances.

  • Understand and adhere to the terms and conditions of any credit card programs or travel partners referenced in the strategy deck.

  • Independently apply for and manage any credit cards or travel bookings suggested in the strategy.

Deliverables

Once the Evaluation is complete, an analysis and strategy deck shall be delivered via email. The subsequent consultation session(s) shall be scheduled at a reasonable time agreed by both parties, the first being at most ninety (90) days after completion of Evaluation. Failure to schedule the session within this timeframe will release the Consultant from this agreement.

Confidentiality and Non-disclosure agreement

All Client information shared with Consultant will be kept confidential. Consultant may share client interaction and success stories on all social media platforms in an anonymized fashion for business purposes.

Non-Disclosure Agreement

In consideration of the consulting services provided under this Agreement, both parties agree to the following non-disclosure obligations:

2. Obligations of Receiving Party. Each party agrees to: (a) hold the other party’s Confidential Information in strict confidence; (b) not disclose such information to any third party without prior written consent; (c) use the Confidential Information solely for the purposes of performing obligations under this Agreement; and (d) protect the Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care used to protect its own confidential information, but no less than reasonable care.

3. Exceptions. Confidentiality obligations shall not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known through no breach of this Agreement; (b) was rightfully known to the receiving party prior to disclosure; (c) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the Confidential Information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by law, regulation, or court order, provided the disclosing party is given prompt written notice and a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective order.

4. Data Security. Consultant agrees to implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to safeguard all Client Confidential Information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
