For example: 4.0 Blocks are purchased. The mediation is completed in 2.5 Blocks. Since the third Block was consumed, the 0.5 Block is not refundable. The full 3.0 Blocks (2.5+0.5) are considered consumed, and 1.0 Block (4-3) is refundable.
No Warranties Express or Implied
It is assumed within the mediation process that all parties agree to operate in good faith and with full dedication to achieving the outcome of the Agreement.
However, participants can also change their minds, and they may leave the session early or before the completion of the Master Mediation Agreement.
The mediation process is not binding upon the mediator or the participants. The process is only binding upon signing the Master Mediation Agreement at the end of the process.
Due to the highly variable nature of the mediation process, along with the potential inherent emotionality, a specific outcome for any party cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, no warranties, express or implied, are conveyed for a certain outcome during the mediation process.
