By using the website, services, materials or web applications, you agree to these terms to the extent applicable.

Applicability

General

These terms apply to all offers, appointments, coaching programs, consultations, scans, digital products, materials and other services offered by Marc Sijm Coaching / Human System Protocol™.

Deviations from these terms are only valid when agreed in writing.

When a specific agreement, quotation or appointment contains additional terms, those additional agreements apply alongside these general terms.

Nature of the service

Service

Marc Sijm Coaching works with Human System Protocol™: a behavioral systems framework for understanding and updating behavioral patterns.

The service consists of coaching, guidance, reflection, educational support, system observation and practical interventions.

HSP looks at system layers such as input, predictive interpretation, operating rules, activation, resource allocation, capacity, behavior, feedback and update direction.

The service is intended to support insight, direction and behavioral change. No specific result is guaranteed.

No medical or psychological treatment

Boundary

Coaching, information, scans, articles, models and other materials offered through this website do not constitute medical, psychiatric or psychological treatment.

Human System Protocol™ is not a clinical diagnosis model and does not replace a general practitioner, psychologist, psychotherapist, psychiatrist or other professional healthcare provider.

In case of serious mental distress, trauma, depression, anxiety disorders, suicidal thoughts, medical concerns or acute crisis, you are strongly advised to seek professional medical or therapeutic help.

Use of web applications, scans and questionnaires

System Scan

Interactive tools, scans and questionnaires on this website, including the Human System Protocol™ System Scan, are intended for educational, reflective and coaching purposes.

Results from the HSP System Scan provide directional system language about possible dynamics such as capacity, activation, predictive interpretation, resource allocation and behavioral patterns.

The results do not constitute a medical, psychiatric or psychological diagnosis, treatment advice or final assessment.

The user remains responsible for interpretation, choices, actions and any next steps based on the insights obtained.

Client responsibility

Responsibility

The client always remains responsible for choices, actions, interpretations, behavior and their consequences.

Coaching can help make system dynamics visible, but it does not take over personal responsibility for decisions and actions.

HSP explains behavior without excusing behavior. Behavior may have a protective or regulatory function and still be harmful or require boundaries.

Appointments, cancellations and changes

Appointments

Appointments may be changed or cancelled by mutual agreement.

Cancellation or rescheduling should take place as early as possible. In case of late cancellation or no-show, a fee may be charged, unless otherwise agreed.

When specific cancellation arrangements are included in a quotation, email or coaching agreement, those arrangements apply.

Marc Sijm Coaching reserves the right to reschedule an appointment when necessary, for example due to illness, force majeure or circumstances beyond reasonable control.

Fees and payment

Payment

Fees are communicated in advance through the website, quotation, email or other written agreement.

Payment must be made within the agreed period, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

In case of non-payment, services may be suspended until payment has been received.

Specific payment conditions for coaching programs, packages or digital products may be agreed separately.

Results and no guarantees

Results

Coaching and HSP-based guidance can support insight, direction, stabilization and behavioral change.

Results depend on multiple factors, including personal situation, engagement, context, health, capacity, repetition and application outside sessions.

No guarantee is given regarding specific results, outcomes, speed of change or lasting behavioral change.
