EPISODE 30: Where Do All the Legal Documents Go?
Too many coaches, retreat hosts, and studio owners have legal documents—but use them in the wrong place or at the wrong time.
In this episode, Cory breaks down a real client call where he walked through where and how to use every core agreement—so your documents actually protect you when it counts.
Why This Matters
You can have the perfect contract—but if it's signed too late or buried in the wrong spot, it won’t hold up in court. Placement and timing are just as important as the document itself.
Key Takeaways
✔️ Privacy policies and disclaimers belong in your website footer
✔️ Waivers and service agreements must be signed before payment or services
✔️ Social media disclaimers go in your Linktree or post captions
✔️ Media releases are best bundled into your service agreement
Cory’s Legal Pro Tip
📄 “If there’s ever a legal issue, the first thing your lawyer will ask is: Send me the last signed agreement. No matter what changed verbally, the signed version is all that counts.”
