What happens if I do not use all my flow minutes during the six month expiration date?

When you subscribe to Flow in Sports or buy flow minutes to discuss creating, recreating and maintaining flow in your sport, you have six months to use your minutes. Unfortunately, unused minutes after the six months period are lost.

How can I avoid losing my flow minutes or consulting time?

To avoid losing your flow minutes or consulting time, you may purchase additional flow minutes so that you do not lose consulting time and your expiration date will be extended. For example, you have purchased the basic individual gold membership package but have not used all the time and are approaching the six month expiration date. To avoid losing this time, you may purchase any other memberships which 1) automatically extends your membership by six more months and 2) automatically adds the number of minutes which would have expired to the number of flow minutes to your new membership.

When will I be told that I am running out of flow minutes? If I am using the phone or the internet as a consulting session, will our conversation suddenly stop?

No. You will be told that you are running out of time a few minutes before a consulting session should end. Flow in Sports will do the best to put a proper closure to the conversation so that you feel ready and up for your next challenge.

Can I share or transfer some consulting time with another athlete?

No, when you buy flow minutes, this is purchased for your benefits and is not meant to be transferred to someone else.
