6. Confidentiality & Recordings
Sparkli commits to treating all session content and client information as strictly confidential.
Anonymized insights may be integrated into general methods or training, but never in a way that identifies individuals or organizations.
There are three types of recording situations, each with specific conditions:
(1) No recording by default
Sessions are not recorded unless explicitly agreed in advance.
(2) Temporary recordings for recap and internal analysis
To support accurate summaries, decision tracking, or post-session analysis, Sparkli may use temporary audio recordings, processed via transcription tools or replayed internally.
In such cases:
- The client will be informed before the recording begins;
- The recording will be used exclusively by Sparkli for recap generation, note-taking, or internal documentation;
- It will be deleted as soon as the summary is finalized.
Clients may opt out of any recording at any time, in which case written notes will be taken manually.
(3) Recordings requested by the client
Upon request, sessions may be recorded for internal use by the client, for example to allow replay by absent team members.
In such cases:
- Recording must be explicitly requested and agreed in advance;
- Sparkli may provide the recording as-is, but is not responsible for editing, hosting, or securing access after delivery;
- The client assumes full responsibility for any use, access, or sharing of the recording within their organization.
No recording, video capture, or transcription may be initiated by the client without Sparkli’s prior consent.
7. Professional Ethics & Limitations
Sparkli follows the ethical standards of the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
Sparkli’s services are not therapeutic or clinical in nature. Coaching and consulting do not substitute for legal, medical, or psychological support.
Sparkli may suspend the engagement and recommend external professionals in case of risk or inappropriate expectation.
8. Refusal of Service
Sparkli reserves the right to suspend or terminate a service, without refund, in case of:
- Abusive, inappropriate, or discriminatory behavior,
- Breach of confidentiality,
- Repeated disrespect of the agreed engagement terms.
This applies to both individuals and organizations.
9. Limitation of Liability
Sparkli provides services with care and professionalism but does not guarantee results. Clients remain fully responsible for decisions made during or after the engagement.
Sparkli shall not be liable for:
- Indirect damages, loss of opportunity or revenue,
- Misuse of deliverables or tools,
- Delays caused by third-party platforms or force majeure.
Total liability is limited to the amount paid for the service in question.
10. Force Majeure
Sparkli is not liable for non-performance due to circumstances beyond its control: illness, accidents, natural disasters, strikes, or technical failures.
Services will be postponed or credited. No compensation beyond the unused portion will be due.
11. Modifications to the Terms
Sparkli may update these Terms at any time.
Clients with ongoing engagements will be notified at least 14 days in advance of any material change.
Continued use of services implies acceptance of the revised Terms, unless opposed in writing.
12. Dispute Resolution & Applicable Law
Before any legal action, the parties commit to seek amicable resolution.
In accordance with Article L.612-1 of the French Consumer Code, individual clients may refer any dispute to a consumer mediation service.
Unless otherwise required by law, disputes will fall under the jurisdiction of the Tribunal de commerce de Colmar (France) and governed by French law.
