This is a contract between Imago International Training Institute (IITI), represented in the UK by Ian Tomlinson of The Affinity Centre, among others, further referred to as “Imago”, and the individual signing this form below, hereinafter referred to as “participant”, take note of the following:
Information on the IITI
IITI is a non-profit organization, and its mission is to transform the world, relationship by relationship, and provide a new concept for relationships. To achieve this goal, IITI represents the training and certification of qualified therapists to become Certified Imago Relationship Therapists.
Imago Relationship Therapy was developed by Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt.
They agree as follows:
Imago will offer the Clinical Training in Imago Relationship Therapy, as described in the course description known to participant, if and so long as the participant meets the requirements for participation as described in this agreement, which shall be deemed to include conduct consistent with the core values of the Imago Community.
Training fees
The cost of the training and certification is:
£330 for Imago Foundations 2-day training
£900 for Imago Clinical Skills part 1
£900 for Imago Clinical Skills part 2
£85 per 50 minute supervision of Imago work
£135 when sending in the final video recording, which will be assessed for certification
Should a non-therapist partner wish to take part in the training, the cost of participation is reduced by 50%. For partner participation, there is no certification process, but the partner does sign up for the conditions on this contract.
The participant understands that once they have signed up for Clinical Skills part 1 or part 2 for a certain date, they do not have the right to be transferred to a training on a different set of dates.
The participant agrees that £150 of the payment for each part of the course is non-refundable. The full amount is non-refundable 4 weeks before the start of the course.
Conditions and requirements
Participant agrees to be familiar with the conditions and requirements for the training and certification as stated in “Clinical Imago Training Information”. Participant realizes that admission to the training does not guarantee certification. Certification is based on demonstrated mastery of theory and practice.
The Imago Therapist training is based on the insights and concepts as developed by Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt (Hendrix-Hunt) and are their intellectual property.
Participant shall not make available or present any written or printed materials made available to participant in any way to third parties either during the training or after certification without prior written permission from IITI, with all copyright rules remaining applicable. Use of copyrighted IITI material is specified and available from IITI.
During training, participant is permitted to inform clients that he/she is being trained as an Imago Therapist. During the training program, or upon completion of that program but prior to certification by Imago, participant is not permitted to present him/herself to anyone as a certified Imago Relationship Therapist.
If this rule is violated, this constitutes a misuse of copyright and intellectual property rights, which may result in legal action against the participant.
Participant guarantees to be insured against professional liability as long as he/she practices Imago Relationship Therapy, both during training and after certification, up to an amount of at least one million (1,000,000) pounds per incident. If, for any reason, this insurance is cancelled or not renewed, the participant will not be permitted to practice Imago Relationship Therapy until a copy of the new valid policy sheet is made available to IITI.
Lack of valid insurance may result in immediate revocation of certification.
To the extent the participating partner is not employed as a coach or therapist, this requirement does not apply to that person.
Participant understands and accepts that during the Training Program and after certification, the highest level of integrity is required. During the duration of the Program, Participant will not engage in illegal or unethical activities. Participant will comply with the contract provisions. If those provisions are violated, IITI will be authorized to remove Participant from the program at its sole discretion.
The same applies if it becomes clear that Participant has made false or inaccurate statements when applying, such as – but not limited to – about their professional history.
Removal from the program because of violation of the required rules of conduct, or because of any other violation of this agreement, will be immediate and final, without entitling Participant to a refund of payments made.
Participant will make every reasonable effort to comply with this agreement, and to submit all required documents and records.
This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between IITI and Participant, and supersedes any prior understanding, whether written or oral, any warranty or representation, to the extent they conflict with the execution of this Agreement. No representative or employee of IITI, nor Hendrix-Hunt or their representatives or employees shall have the authority to make any representation not contained in this Agreement.
Disputes
In the event of a dispute between Participant and IITI, its employees, representatives or trainers, IITI will attempt to resolve the dispute amicably through the application of the Imago Dialogue. If, for whatever reason, the conflict cannot be resolved in this manner, then arbitration will be the exclusive way through which resolution of the dispute will take place.
Participant accepts any risk arising from participation in the program, and indemnifies IITI its board, founders, trainers, teachers and representatives against any liability, claims, lawsuits – whether based on fault or non-performance or not – including legal fees and costs of legal assistance, losses.
Participant understands and accepts that IITI makes no warranty of any kind, express or implied, with respect to the performance provided by IITI pursuant to the training program.
Participant understands and accepts that IITI assumes no warranties or obligations – within or outside the training program – other than those expressly expressed in this contract.
