Terms & Conditions

Introduction

Welcome to Plot the Story Plot! We are genuinely excited to support your writing journey, but before we dive, please take a moment to review the terms that guide how bookings, services, payments, and communication work. These terms are here to keep everything respectful, transparent, and fair.

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of this website and any coaching sessions, consultations, or services offered through it. By using this site or booking a session, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree with them, please refrain from using the website or services.

These Terms may be updated periodically. The most current version will always be available on the website with a revised effective date. Continued use of the site or services indicates acceptance of updated terms.

About Plot the Story Plot

Plot the Story Plot is a creative story coaching service that provides guidance and support, not guaranteed outcomes. We do not promise publication, representation, viral success, or specific creative results — but we will do our best to help you grow as a writer.

Plot the Story Plot offers:

Story Coaching: One-on-one support to help you strengthen plot, character direction, clarity, and story craft.
Consultations: Focused sessions to talk through ideas, blocks, challenges, or specific story elements.
Emotional Writing Support: Space to vent, unpack creative stress, explore mindset blocks, and reconnect with your writing.

From time to time, we may offer newsletters, digital products, online courses, or podcast-related materials. These Terms also apply to those services unless otherwise stated.

Booking and Payment

All bookings are made through the website’s booking form or integrated scheduling service.

Payment is required at the time of booking unless otherwise stated.
Accepted payment methods include those supported by Wix, PayPal, or Stripe.
Prices are listed in Canadian dollars (CAD) and may change at any time.
Once payment is processed, you’ll receive a confirmation email with session details.

Sessions begin and end at their scheduled times. If you arrive late, the session still ends at the original time to respect other bookings. If you are more than 15 minutes late without notice, the session may be marked as missed.

Sessions are held online. You are responsible for ensuring a stable connection, working audio/video, and access to required links. If technical issues occur on our end, we will reschedule or extend the session at no cost to you.

Cancellations and Rescheduling

Cancellations or reschedules must be requested at least 24 hours before your session.
Cancellations made within 24 hours may not be eligible for a refund.
If you miss your session without notice, the session will be marked as completed.
If we ever need to reschedule due to unforeseen circumstances, you’ll be notified as soon as possible and offered a new time. A refund may be offered for one-time payments only.

Refund Policy

Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis. If you’re unhappy with a service, please reach out within 7 days of your session, and we’ll do our best to find a fair solution.

Refunds cannot be issued for completed sessions or missed appointments.

Intellectual Property

All written materials, resources, and coaching frameworks shared during sessions remain the intellectual property of Plot the Story Plot. You may use them for personal and creative development but may not reproduce, distribute, or sell them without written permission.

Any stories, characters, or creative works you share remain entirely yours. We claim no rights or ownership over your creative content.

Limitation of Liability

Plot the Story Plot is a creative guidance service. We cannot offer professional, financial, or publishing guarantees. We are not therapists, lawyers, agents, or editors of record. Emotional support sessions are intended for creative wellness, not mental health counselling.

While we aim to help you grow as a writer, we cannot guarantee specific creative outcomes, professional opportunities, or financial results.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Plot the Story Plot will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of this website or our services.

Client Responsibilities

To get the most out of your session, you agree to:

Arrive prepared, whether with questions, pages, or goals.
Submit any materials 48 hours in advance, if applicable.
Communicate clearly if you need adjustments or accessibility support.
Respect boundaries around communication outside sessions.
Make a genuine effort to apply the suggestions, strategies, or feedback provided before deciding they are not helpful.

You always have the right to dismiss or disregard any suggestion that doesn’t align with your creative goals or comfort level. However, if you choose to dismiss feedback, Plot the Story Plot holds no responsibility for outcomes affected by that choice.

Confidentiality

All materials and conversations shared— including manuscripts, ideas, emotional experiences, and creative struggles — is kept confidential. We do not share client materials or stories without written permission, unless required by law.

You retain full ownership of your creative work. Plot the Story Plot claims no rights to your characters, writing, or intellectual property.
